The meeting

Almost 20 people attended, and only four of those were CPO employees... My friend T. was unable to attend, so I went alone. The organizer was definitely in favor of human-based solutions, presumably so that he can use his organization to funnel the money to whom he wishes. Fortunately, most of the people in attendance seemed to favor more capital-intensive solutions, such as security cameras. A compromise of some sort will probably be reached. Afterwards I went to the bar and ran into my neighbor S., who was out shopping. We had three beers and watched the Cubs pull out a win against the Bonds-less Giants.
