TIME NOW FOR THE JOURNALISTS'.

ROUNDTABLE, AND, AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THE.

HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON.

PASSED A STATE BUDGET.

THAT INCLUDES THE BIGGEST TAX CUT IN STATE HISTORY.

FOR MORE ON THE BUDGET, AND A LOOK AT A NUMBER OF NEW CANDIDATES ANNOUNCING FOR VARIOUS POLITICAL OFFICES, WE WELCOME JULIA SHUMWAY OF THE ARIZONA CAPITOL TIMES.

AND ANDREW OXFORD OF THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC.

WE SHOULD NOTE THAT OUR CONVERSATION.

OCCURRED JUST HOURS BEFORE HOUSE PASSAGE OF THE BUDGET.

IT BETTER BE ONE WAY SHAPE OR FORM.

ANDREW, WHERE DOES THE STATE BUDGET STAND NOW?

>> RIGHT NOW, YOU GOT THE HOUSE WORKING THROUGH AMENDMENTS THAT WERE PASSED BY THE SENATE EARLIER THIS WEEK AND SOP THEY ARE GOING TO-- THE SENATE IS GOING TO COME BACK INTO WORK ON MONDAY, AND THAT IS WHERE WE FIND OUT WHERE THINGS STAND, AFTER THE HOUSE HAS DONE ITS WORK.

FLOE NOT SEEING EYE TO EYE WITHIN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.

WE SAW KIND OF A NUMBER OF BILLS THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY DIED EARLIER THIS SEASON AND HOBBLING ALONG AND DIDN'T HAVE SORT TO GET THROUGH THE SESSION, COME BACK TO LIFE, IN THE BUDGET OVER THE LAST WEEK.

AND NOT EVERYONE IS SEEING EYE TO EYE ON THOSE, SO YOU SAW FOR EXAMPLE, EXPAND THE STATE'S SCHOOL VAPORER PROGRAM, SOME VOTERS HAVE REJECTED RECENTLY, THEN REPUBLICANS WHO DON'T SUPPORT THIS EITHER, OVER IN THE HOUSE.

SO WHAT HAPPENED TO PASS OUT OF THE SENATE, IT DIDN'T HAVE SUPPORT TO GET INTO THE BUDGET IN THE HOUSE.

AND SO, SO WHEN THE SENATE COMES BACK, WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THINGS GO FROM THERE.

YEAH.

THE SENATE COMES BACK HERE.

I MEAN, THE IDEA WAS THEY WERE DONE WITH THEIR ABOUT BUSINESS.

WHY ARE THEY COMING BACK.

WHERE WILL ARE THEY COMING ABOUT A K. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE IDEA.

WAS THERE A MOVE TO VETO THE OVERRIDE THE GOVERNOR'S PREVIOUS VETOES?

>> YES.

SO THE SENATE IS COMING BACK ON MONDAY AT 1:10 THE IDEA GAVE WAS THAT THE HOUSE WAS NOT MAKING PROGRESS.

THE FACT HE WOULD HAVE LIKED AND DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP SENATORS KIT SITTING AROUND UNTIL MIDNIGHT OR 2:00 A.M. OR 4:00 A.M.

WAITING FOR THE THOUSANDS PASS THE BUDGET.

MORE INTERESTINGLY, THE GOVERNOR VETOED 22 BILLS RIGHT BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE ON TWO-WEEK VACATION AND AT THE END OF MAY.

THEN, THEN, IN ARIZONA, HISTORY, THE LEGISLATURE IS ONLY OVERRIDDEN A GOVERNOR'S VETO TWICE.

THIS MAY BE THE THIRD TIME THIS EVER HAPPENED BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF LAWMAKERS WANTED TO SEND A MESSAGE TO GOVERNOR THEY ARE COEQUAL BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT AND YOU CANNOT VETO THE LEGISLATION.

THE SENATE PRESIDENT DID NOT WANT TO DO THIS SO A BIG STANDOUT IN THE SENATE ON THURSDAY AS A BIPARTISAN TEAM OF LAWMAKERS ALMOST THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS AND SIX OR SEVEN REPUBLICANS OVERRODE THE SENATE PRESIDENT TRYING TO GET ADJOURNED AND WENT TON OVERRIDE THE VEER TO OF A BILL THAT DIDN'T DO MUCH AND JUST TECHNICAL CORRECTION FIXING GRAMMAR AND SELLING AND EXISTING LAW.

>> YEAH.

YEAH.

SO THIS SOUNDS LIKE THINGS A LITTLE TENSE DOWN THERE WHY THOUGH WEEK.

YOU WERE OF YOU WERE DOWN THERE THIS MORNING.

GIVE US THE ATMOSPHERE.

>> YEAH.

A LOT OF SENSE THIS MORNING AROUND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN AMOUNTS TO A BIG CHUNK OF THE BUDGET RIGHT.

K THROUGH 12 EDUCATION.

THE SCHOOL VOUCHER EXPANSION I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

THEN, YOU KNOW, IT HAS BEEN A LONG WEEK OF LAST MINUTE WRANGLING.

ONE OF THE REALLY KEY THINGS THIS YEAR IS THAT THIS IS A CLOSELY DIVIDED SENATE AND CLOSELY DIVIDED HOUSE AND LEADERS IN BOTH CHAMBERS HAD TO GO AND SHORE UP SUPPORT FROM EVERY LAST MINUTE OF THE CAUCUS TO GET THAT BUDGET PASSED AND YOU HAVE SEEN THE LAST WEEK AND HAVE SOON THE BILLS THAT WE HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT FOR MONTHS KIND OF COMING BACK TO LIFE HERE IN THE LAST MINUTE.

>> AND JULIA, THE BIGGY IS THOUGH ACROSS-THE-BOARD TAX CUT THAT DID MAKE IT OUT OF THE SENATE AND LOOKS LOOK ITS OK BY THE HOUSE AS WELL.

THE IMPACT ON ARIZONA AND, SOME OF THOSE WHO WERE AGAINST THIS.

WHAT WERE THEY SAYING TO THOSE VOICES HEARD?

>> I THINK IT IS CLEAR TO SAY, THAT MOST OF THE VOICES AND OPPOSITION WERE NOT HEARD.

THERE WERE A FEW CONCESSIONS AND IN THE TAX PACKAGE AND A HANDFUL OF REPUBLICANS WHO WORRIED ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT CUTTING INCOME TAXES WOULD HAVE ON CITIES AND DOWNTOWNS WHICH RECEIVED A PORTION OF THEIR BUDGET FROM STATE AND INCOME TAXES THROUGH HUGE REPUBLICAN HOLDOUTS THE PERCENTAGE OF INCOME TAX REVENUE THE STATE RECEIVED AND GET INCREASING FOR 1 TO 18%.

BUT THE BIGGER OPPOSITION AND PARTICULARLY DEMOCRATS WAS OVER THE IMPACT OF THE TAX CUTS WEALTHY ARIZONANS ARE TALKING ABOUT TO GET A SIGNIFICANT BIGGER BREAK IF YOU ARE MAKING MORE THAN ONE MILLION DOLLARS YOU ARE GOING TO SEE TAX CREDIT OF$46,000.

IF YOU ARE MAKING$30,000.

YOU ARE GOING TO SEE A TAX BREAK OF BETWEEN $11 AND$17.

A BIG, BIG DISPARITY, AND DEMOCRATS WERE OPPOSED TO BOTH AND THE IDEA THIS IS GOING TO CUT REVENUE IS WHEN WE MAY HAVE A FUTURE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN AND IT IS A LOT HARDER TO RAISE TAXES.

>> YEAH.

YEAH.

YEAH.

AND YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND BIG DEEPER HERE.

THE BUDGET AMENDMENTS THAT CAME OUT OF THIS THAT I.

THE EXPANSION OF THE SCHOOL VOUCHER SYSTEM WAS THE ONE THAT CAUGHT, HE ONE'S ATTENTION BUT MORE GOING ON HERE.

CHANGES TO ELECTION SAWS, CHANGES AS FAR AS WHAT TEACHERS CAN IN STRUCK IN SCHOOLS.

ALL OF THESE THINGS, AS YOU MENTIONED, JUST FLYING OUT, LIKE A BUNCH OF ZOMBIES FROM THE GRAVE A YARD.

THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD AT THE CAPITAL.

RIGHT.

THAT IS WRIGHT RIGHT.

WE HAVE SEEN CHANGES BROUGHT FORWARD BAY DIFFERENT LAW MAT, LIKE I SAID.

THEY HAD TO SHORE UP THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS TO GOT THE BUDGETS PASSED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SUPPORT CITY THIS TAX CUT.

SO YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SEEN AMENDMENTS TO ALSO SET ASIDE$500,000 TO INVESTIGATE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES THAT COMES AFTER ONE LAWMAKER WAS BEEN A BANNED FROM FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND THE LIKE.

WE HAVE SEEN PROPOSALS APPEAL.

LOOK YOU SAY, WOMEN OR PUT MORE OVERSIGHT OF WHAT TEACHERS TEACH IN THE CLASSROOM.

WE HAVE SEEN PROPOSALS TO CHANGE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SEVERAL ON POLICE OVERSIGHT BOARDS.

NEW RULES AROUND WHEN THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY WOULD BE ABLE TO RELEASE FOOTAGE REPORTED BY BODY CAMERAS INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET WE HAVE SOON THE AMENDMENTS OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS SPREAD OUT IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AREAS AND TOUCH ON CONTENTIOUS THINGS THAT LAWMAKERS ARE TRYING TO YOU KNOW TIE UP LOOSENS AROUND AND IN MATTER OF A FEW DAYS.

REAL QUICKLY, JULIA.

YOU MENTIONED IN A MATTER OF A FEW DAYS.

YOU GOT TO FIND THE GUY HERE REAL QUICK.

THEY HAVE TO PASS BUDGET REALLY QUICK AND DON'T HAVE BEEN TO ADJOURN ALTHOUGH HISTORICALLY THE LEGISLATURE CAN END THIS SESSION AND THIS BUDGET AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEE ADDITIONAL BILLS AND ALL OF THESE POLICY CHANGES COULD WAIT A FEW DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR ON JUNE30 THOUGHT GOVERNOR NEEDS TO SIGN THE BUDGET, AT LEAST THE MAIN BUDGET BILL AND ACTUALLY APPROPRIATE FUNDING TO ALL OF THE STATE BADGE YOUS TO KEEP OUR GOVERNMENT RUNNING.

YEAH.

THAT TENSIONED WOULD GO OVER WELL DOWN THERE AT THE CAPITAL.

LET'S MOVE ON HERE.

A COUPLE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL CANDIDATES ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK, THAT CHRIS MAY ONCE A REB REPUBLICAN THEN A DEMOCRAT AND ALSO A DEMOCRAT NOW.

BOTH RUNNING FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

>> WIDE OPEN SEAT RIGHT.

YOU GOT MARK RUNNING FOR U.S. SENATE AND SO THAT OPENED THE WAY FOR A NUMBER TO COME FOR WITHIN AND A CROWDED RACE, YOU GOT ANDREW GOLD, FORMER SUPREME COURT JUSTICE AND YOU OH, THE RACE IS BILLION ONLY GOING TO GET MORE CROWD AND HERE YOU KNOW, WITH ME YOU ARE GOING TO SEE YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY PROBABLY A LOT OF SPLIT BETWEEN SOME OF THE MORE PROGRESSIVE CAMPUS AND I THINK RODRIGUEZ CAN APPEAL GOING TO THE SELECTION THEN OTHERS, BUT THERE IS POTENTIALLY MORE ROOM IN THE RACE AS WELL.

YEAH.

AS FAR AS CHRIS IS CONCERNED IT IS INTERESTING BECAUSE HE WAS REB CONDITION ON THE CHAIR OF THE CORPORATION COME PIGS AND GOT THAT WHOLE RENEWAL ENERGY DOORED AND PEAR HEADED THE WHOLE EFFORT AND BECAME AL DEMOCRAT IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

HOW DO THEY FEEL BILLION THIS.

WHAM ARE YOU HEARING?

WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT EVEN WHEN SHE WAS REPUBLICAN WORKED FOR JANET NAPOLITANO ADMINISTRATION AND BEEN A MODERATE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TYPE OF CANDIDATE AND DEMOCRATS AT LEAST MORE MODERATE ARE WELCOMING THIS HE RACE.

YEAH.

SAM THING FOR YOU.

AND NEVER CONSIDERED A BOMB THROWER.

RIGHT.

THAT IS THE KIND OF THING THAT COULD HOP IN A GENERAL ELECTION.

RIGHT.

IT THAT IS INDEPENDENT STREAK SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE THINGS LOOK A YEAR FROM NOW AND LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.

JULIA SPEAKING OF FOLKS WHO ARE KNOWN FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS AND SANDRA BULL LOG ANNOUNCED SECRETARY OF STATE THE CHIEF ELECTIONS OFFICER THE SAME SANDRA BULL LOG WHO PUSHED LEGISLATION TO MAKE SURE OUR ELECTORAL VOTERS WILL BE DECIDED AND LAWMAKERS OVERSIGHT AND TALK TO US MORE ABOUT THIS AND INTERESTS THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO RAISE.

SANDRA BULLOCK IS BEST KNOWN NATIONALLY FOR A BILL EARLIER THIS YEAR DID NOT GET A SINGLE HEARING AND SPEAKER OF THE HOUSING SHUT DOWN THIS IDEA AND WANTED TO GIVE THE LEDGE SLEDGE LEGISLATURE THE SOLE AUTHORITY TO DECIDE THE ELECTORS CAN BE.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT LAWMAKERS IN OUR STATE AND PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER STATE DELEGATED TO THE VOTERS SAYING WHOEVER WINS THE POPULAR STATE GETS TO DECIDE WHO THE PRESIDENT WILL BE AND THERE WAS PUSH AMONG MANY REPUBLICANS LEAST YEAR TO GO BACK ONCE JO BIDEN WON THE STATE AND REAPPOINT INSTEAD ANDS ONLY THAT DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE AND BULL LOG IS REALLY, IS SHAPING UP TO BE INTERESTING GOP PRIMARY AND SECRETARY OF STATE AND A CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE AND GOT IN THE RACE AMONG THE LAWMAKERS AND ON JANUARY6th THEN YOU SEE THAT FOR A LONG TIME TO SEND THOSE LEADING NONE OF ELECTION REFORM.

YEAH.

THAT DOES SEEM INTERESTING AND IT SEEMS INTERESTING BECAUSE I MEAN YOU COULD REALLY GET FOLKS TO EXTREME EACH OTHER AS FAR AS CERTAIN POSITIONS ARE CONCERNED BUT YOU GOT TO COME BACK AND WIN A GENERAL LEX AND RIGHT THERE AND I DON'T SEE MUCH COME THERE IS ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE.

THAT IS GOING TO BE TOUGH.

WELL, FORMER MARICOPA COUNTY RECORDER.

YEAH.

HE HAS NOT ANNOUNCED QUITE OFFICIALLY YET.

YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT, RIGHT.

THINK THAT THE THING TO WATCH IS WHETHER A CANDIDATE SEES OPENING IN THE FIELD AND ABLE MODERATE REPUBLICAN WHO HAS NOT CALL FOR THOUGH OUT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULTS OR SOMETHING.

WHETHER IT IS ADVERTISING HAS BEEN MENTIONED AS POTENTIAL CANDIDATE.

YOU THINK YOU BEGIN TO SEE OPENING FOR THEM TO JUMP IN CONSOLIDATE SUPPORT AND MODERATE REPUBLICAN AND THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES.

CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.

IT SOUNDS LIKE HE IS INTERESTED.

HE IS GETTING READY TO RUN SO I WOULD COUNT HIM IN AT THIS POINT.

WHETHER HE HAS A PRESS RELEASE OR NOT.

DEMOCRATS HAVE IDENTIFYING ON THEIR THROWN AND YOU KNOW, STEVE GAINER WHO RAN FOR SECRETARY NEARLY LOST A CLOSE RACE HERE.

LET'S GO FOR GOVERNOR.

YEAH.

SO HE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND RAISED A TON OF MONEY AND CAME CLOSE TO FEET AND HAS BEEN QUIET FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND CAME OUT TODAY AND PRETTY SURE THAT THE DEMOCRATIC BIG MACHINE MY HELPED TAKE THE 2018 RICE AWAY FROM HIM AND HE THINKS GOING TO WIN THIS AM TIME SO RUNNING A CROWDED FIELD.

VERY CROWDEE DEED.

A BIG CROWD OVER THERE THIS TIME.

GROWING ALL THE TIME AND GOING TO BE SATISFIED RIGHT.

IN THELE RACE WITH MARCO LOPEZ AND OTHER COMPETITION AND YOU KNOW, ATTENTION TO YOU HAVE SEEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS ON THE AM AUDIT TO BUILD A NATIONAL ROW FILE AND TURNING IN A STRANGE DYNAMIC AND ABLE TO SIT BACK AND WATCH.

A KNOCKDOWN DRAG-OUT THERE YOU NEVER KNOW WHO COMES OUT OF THOSE.

ARIZONA CAPITAL TIMES WELCOME TO THE ROUNDTABLE.

THANKS.

YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

THANK FOR JOINING US.

WE APPRECIATE.

THANKS ASLE.

>> THANKS.

AFTER THE BREAK, A LOOK AT HOW THE PANDEMIC CHANGED THE NATURE OF WORK.

THERE IS A LABOR SHORTAGE IN THE U.S. AND, ACCORDING TO OUR NEXT GUEST, IT'S DUE IN GREAT PART TO PEOPLE.

RE-THINKING THEIR LIFE AND CAREER OPTIONS.

WE LEARNED MORE FROM ELIZABETH CASTILLO FROM ASU'S COLLEGE OF INTEGRATIVE SCIENCES AND ARTS.

>> ING THIS WAS PROBLEM IN THE MAKE FOR A LONG TIME THIS PANDEMIC HAS BEEN THE PERFECT STORM THAT CAUSED IT TO BECOME A CRISIS.

BUT FOR MANY YEARS INDUSTRIES ESPECIALLY HOSPITALITY AND SERVICE INDUSTRY HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH TURNOVER LOSING UP TO 140PERCENT OF THE WORK FORCE EACH YEAR SO WHAT NOW HAPPENED THOUGH THE QUARANTINE, POE PEOPLE BEING FURLOUGHED AND STARTING TO WORK FROM HOME ET CETERA.

OTHER FACTORS COME INTO PLAY.

COVID 179 HEALTH CONCERN AND WORRIES ABOUT THE WORK PLACING SAFETY.

CHILDREN NOT BE BEING IN SCHOOL IN HOME.

LOW WAGES NOT HAVING BENEFIT NOW THE SEARCH IN HIRING.

THESE THINGS HAVE COME TOGETHER TO CREATE THIS EMERGENCY.

>> IT SOUNDS OVERALL LIKE A LOT OF FOLKS HAVE LOOKING TO ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT THEY DID BEFORE.

>> AGES WILLINGLY.

I THINK A FUNCTION OF THE QUARANTINE HAS BEEN SEARCHING RATING.

WHAT MATTERS.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR THEIR LIFE WHAN M THEY NEED DO TO POSITION SHELVES SO THEY GET BLIN SIGNED IN THE FUTURE.

THAT MEANS A CAREER CHANGE AND NEW INDUSTRY AND LOOKING AT PLACES NOT GOING TO BE SO SUBJECT TO PLACEMENT THROUGH AUTOMATION AND LOOK FOR PLACES THEY CAN GET BETTER BALANCE WORK AND LIFE.

>> LAKES.

AND ALSO, I THINK, HAVING A SENSE OF PURPOSE RATING.

MAKING MONEY FOR SOMEBODY ELSE AND WANT TO SEE THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE FACING OUR ROLE AND HAVE MEANINGFUL WORK THAT HELPS THEM TO CONTRIBUTE.

HOW MUCH DOES THE FACT THAT A LOT OF FOLKS RECEIVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SOME WAY SHAPE OR FORM STIMULUS MONEY.

HOW MUCH COMPANY THAT PLAY INTO INTO THIS.

THERE WAS IMPACT BUT IT WAS RATHER SMALL.

RESEARCH IS SHOWING ACTUALLY THESE OTHER THAT ARE CAUSING MORE OF THE LABOR SHORTAGE.

ALL RIGHT.

THESE OTHER ISSUES OBVIOUSLY CAN BE IN MAN BASE THIS DIRECTED TOUR WARD MOMENT I YEARS WHAT DO THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ALL HEF SUDDEN THIS FASCINATION AND INTEREST WITH WORK, LIFE BALANCE.

>> WELL, I THINK, THERE IS TWO THNGS.

I WILL START AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL WHAT AN EMPLOYEE NEEDS TO BE THINKING ABOUT THE KIND OF CULTURE THEY ARE CREATING WITH WITH THEIR OWN.

SOL ARE THEY TREATING THEIR WORKERS WITH DIG ARE DIGNITY AND RESPECT?

WELL, IT HAS BEEN SAID, THAT WORKER DONE LEAVE JOBS AND THEY LEAVE BAD BOSSES SO EVEN IF YOU FOR A GOOD LEADER ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU ARE PAIGES ARE TREEING YOUR PEOPLE WITH RESPECT.

AND BUT ALSO DOING THINGS LIKE FOCUSING ON RETENTION AND DOING JOB TRAINING AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND SO PEOPLE ARE LEARNING AND GREG IN THEIR JOBS AND THEN, THEN MECHANISMS FOR THE FEEDBACK IF THEY DO HAVE ISSUES AND A SAFE WAY TO BE BROUGHT UP AND WILL IT GET AC ON GIVEN LIP SERVICE.

I HEARD YOU DESCRIBE THIS.

THAT IS BALLPARK THERE?

>> YEAH.

HUMANISTIC MANAGEMENT WELL, ANCIENT TREND BUT OLD TREND, RIGHT.

IT IS TREATING PEOPLE WELL DIGNITY AND RESPECT LOOK YOU WANT TO BE TREATED THE GOLDEN RULE BUT UNFORTUNATELY OUR ECONOMIC SYSTEM IS NOT ALWAYS GEARED AROUND THAT, RIGHT.

IT LOOKS AT PRIORITIZING AND A LOT OF TIME WHERE THEY ARE SEEN AS INSTRUMENTAL OR RESOURCE SO MORE TRANSACTIONAL AND REALLY PUTTING PEOPLE FRONT AND CENTER BACKING TO THE ECONOMY AND WE DO THAT WITH OUR CUSTOMERS.

SO NOW, IT TABLING THAT WITH WORKERS AND IF YOU WANT TO HAVE RETENTION AND LOYAL EMPLOYEES WILL STICK WITH YOU.

THIS IS BUSINESS COME TIN EMPLOYERS ARE THEY READY FOR THIS?

WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE DO YOU THINK YOU WILL GET FROM THIS?

I THINK THEY ARE READY FOR.

A, PRAGMATICALLY, THIS IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO BECOME PLOM YEAR OF CHOICE AND IT IS A WAY IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT PRAGMATICALLY AND ALSO MOVEMENTS LIKE CAPITALISM WE WE HAVE HERE IN ARIZONA AND LIKE GOODMAN'S FURNITURE, FOR EK AMPLE, REALIZING THE SERVANT LEADER SHEP AND HELP DEVELOP.

NOW AS FAR AS THOSE WHO ARE RECONSIDERING WHAT THEY DO AND LOOKING AT PERHAPS SA LIFE CHANGE BETTER BALANCE THESE SORT OF THING.

IT IS THERE A CONCERN THIS IS A TEMPORARY SORT OF RUSH AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING THAT IS PERMANENT AND WON'T LOOK BACK LATER TO SAY WHAT DID I JUST DO?

WELL, I MEAN, THAT IS A GREAT QUO.

KIND OF THE$24MILLION QUESTION RIGHT.

THAT IS YOU KNOW, ARE WE WILLING TO LEARN FROM THIS IF WE DON'T AND GO BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL WE'LL GO TO PUT OURSELVES AS RISK FAR SIMILAR DOWN TURN AND THE NEXT CRISIS IS WHETHER IT BE CLIMATE CHANGE OR ANOTHER PANDEMIC AND SO IF WE WANT TO EINVOLVE OURSELVES AND OUR CAPABILITY AND BOLSTER OURSELF AND BUILD RESISTANCE AGAINST FUTURE SHOCK AND THE PATH IT IS A TURNING POINT SINT IT?

I HOPE SO.

IT SHOW BE WE'RE MART ENOUGH WE SHOULD LARN HOUR OUR LESSON AND NOT REPEAT.

A FEW COLLEGE INTEGRATED SCIENCE AND ART.

GREAT CONVERSATION.
