3 Up
1. Corey Comperatore - In a divided country, these moments make us realize that maybe (hopefully?) things have gone too far. Comperatore died shielding his family from the gunfire in the Trump's Assassination attempt. It's so commendable, and also, so sad. We've gotta be better.
2. Michael Bloomberg Johns Hopkins Gift - Kudos to Bloomberg on donating $1 Billion dollars to Johns Hopkins in order to give medical students free tuition. It would be great if so many other billionaires contributed opportunities such as this one.
3. Inside Out 2 (Highest Grossing Pixar Film) - I haven't seen it. But considering Pixar's history, that is quite the accomplishment.
3 Down
1. Trump Assassination Attempt - I said most of my thoughts on this in a post earlier this week. As noted above on tipping a cap to the memory of Corey Comperatore, we've gotta be better.
2. Gun Problem in the U.S. - It's such a crazy thought that a twenty-year-old is able to acquire such a gun with ease. Even worse? Feels enabled to attempt such a damning act. Why are we like this?
3. COPA America Final Crowd - The scenes and visuals were scary, and horrific, and I feel for some many who purchased expensive tickets - especially with kids - and had their experiences upended. Those tickets should be refunded (they won't be) and we better take notice as we host the World Cup in two years.
