Grandparents Provide Grandkid Care Normally in Seattle, Its the high rent

Drink your coffee after dropping 0ff Your Kids at grandma's so ya can work and read the brief: "... Raising grandkids in a pandemic — with little help Ollie Reeves, 76, is plunging into her savings to raise her grandson Montrey, 14, and his 10-year-old sister. She’s one of more than 47,000 people in Washington who are raising a relative’s child outside the formal foster-care system. Their role is crucial for kids. But these "kinship caregivers" — who are disproportionately people of color — have reason to cry out, writes columnist Marcus Harrison Green. He asks: Can’t we lend them a hand? (Photo: Ellen M. Banner / The Seattle Times)..." SWE's Take: This is not new, this was going on twenty years ago in Seattle. Good News: They blame Killer Flu for all class inequity the last 30 years....but we aren't stupid.
