If we lose this insurance we have NO OTHER OPTIONS. California Fair Plan is the insurance of last resort. It's the government cheese of insurance. Nobody else will insure us, because of unfixed electrical hazards. Yesterday's work party was great, but it wasn't nearly enough. It took a team of people just to clear out the spaz corner. Now there's a bunch of stuff in the entrance hall and we don't know who it belongs to. PLEASE CHECK THE ENTRANCE HALL in the next few days for stuff you care about. We will probably do a dump run on Wednesday. We might throw away useful stuff, because I honestly didn't want to be the ringleader here and I don't have enough fucks to give. There are still so many corners of the building that look awful, are probably one spark away from being a giant bonfire, and I just can't deal with it all. I need help. I'm sounding all the alarms here. This is critical. When this is over we need to have a serious conversation about hoarding. Omni has too much stuff everywhere. It adds up a thousandfold. It gives shelter to mice. It makes things uncleanable. And most of it is not being actively used, it's just storage. We need to stop being storage! No more storage! Sure some of it may be useful. Maybe you can store one thing. But not ten things. We have to start making the tough choices here. The good news is, David Keenan just made us an amazing graphic of the things that still need to be fixed in the next 5 days. Attached!
