Red Crutch point and reinforcement

A few days ago I wrote about the Red Crutch on Cape Cod which typically provides a snow storm activity for bored seniors to go to during severe weather when they can't make a day out of a doctor visit and lunch out. Yes, someday they'll help people who need it but mostly they do this.

A fire in Connecticut resulted in exactly what I would expect the Red Cross to do in a snow storm.

In Connecticut they helped eight likely struggling people. On Cape Cod they helped one very wealthy person in a million dollar house ! After a little "I'm OK, you're OK" she couldn't get a room and her insurance company ?

Eh ?

A structure fire on Acton Street in Hartford displaced two families of four. Paul Shipman, spokesperson for the American Red Cross, said that the organization is providing temporary housing for them and will assist in replacing clothing, food and household items.

There's the Red Cross and then there's the Red Crutch. The latter is used by takers.
