COT

Q had some rambling thoughts about current events. Many arguments are had about issues as if things are black and white. We put people in a box based on the beliefs they express. If they think businesses should reopen “they must not care about people dying of corona.” If they think people should stay home “they must not care if I lose my job.” It is much more effective and productive to start discussions based on common ground. “We both agree that restarting the economy is a good thing. And we both agree that preventing people from getting corona is a good thing. We just disagree about how much weight to give each position.” This is a much more compassionate way to relate to people, instead of defining people by their positions.


Moleskin

Free Candy loves those side planks.

All PAX enjoyed trying out Helicopters- we won’t say whose was best.

The burpee station was shockingly unpopular.
