S3E17 - A Labor Day Table Talk and Three Things We Think You Should Know

It’s Labor Day! But how much do you really know about it? Take Tom’s Labor Day quiz with Lamar and learn three other things they think you need to know. 

In this engaging Table Talk, Tom Klaus and Lamar Roth explore the significance of Labor Day, the challenges facing the agricultural sector as harvest looms, and the implications of current political trends. They discuss the origins of Labor Day, the serious issues surrounding workers' rights, and the impact of tariffs on grain storage. The conversation takes a lighter turn as they talk about the “wurst” accidents of the past couple years. This Table Talk balances humor and serious topics, encouraging listeners to reflect on the state of society and the importance of activism.

A 3rd Space Survey: Acts of Kindness

Inspired by our recent conversation with Joolz Casey of #behumankind are now inviting listeners/viewers to participate in our ongoing “Acts of Kindness” poll. You can participate by answering two simple questions: 

What is an act of kindness you’ve received that made a difference to you? 

What is an act of kindness you have done which you hope changed another person’s life?
