Risk is an interesting concept and the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the way people calculate risk for themselves and risk for other people. This week I’ve seen that play out in baseball and education and it’s been interesting reading about the risk people are willing to see others take on for them to get something they want.
As baseball went back and forth about whether they should return, what that return should look like, and who should get paid what, it was pretty common to see the hot takes on Twitter about people being “lucky” to play.
