Board will not take any formal action but looking forward to peoples comments and questions. Any people on the line, moderator . You have seven questions remaining. Chair borden okay, our first speaker, please. Caller hello. My name is joel kamisher, a School Crossing guard and a member of the sfciu 10 to 1 bargaining committee. We have been trying to talk about not outsourcing people to protect the city workers and im hearing that discussion about the flaggers and the pedestrian monitors. I wonder if we could use our own workforce, the parking control people and the crossing guards instead of having the contractors hire private people. I realize that the flaggers might have their own union, so maybe thats a problem. But im hoping that we can do other things to reduce the need of contract people to prevent layoffs . Thank you. Chair borden thank you, next speaker, please. You have six questions remaining. Caller hello, members of the board, my name is Hector Jimenez and im with the loc

Vice President Biden good afternoon. Welcome to the Natural History museum. As a nation, we face one of the most difficult moments in our history in my view. Four historic crises all at the same time. The worst pandemic in 100 years, thats already killed nearly 200,000 people and counting. The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression thats cost tens of millions of american jobs and counting. Emboldened White Supremacy unseen since the 1960s and a reckoning on race thats long overdue. And undeniable acceleration of the punishing realities of Climate Change on our planet and our people, on the lives an livelihoods which id like to alk about now. Jill and i continue, as i suspect all of you do, to pray for everyone in california, oregon and washington as the devastating wildfires rage on just as we hold them in our hearts, those who have faced the hurricanes, tropical storms, off our coast of florida, north carolina, or like parts of new orleans that have just been issued an emerg
Biden hop bidenharris ticket. Are also speaking with the General Mills ceo. We will be delving into all those angles in the next hour. We start on the market with sarah malic, cio of global equities. She oversees 1 trillion in assets. The backdrop, are we seeing real inflation and rotation in Asset Classes .

What do you think about the outlook for inflation . It is still relatively muted. Areou think markets underpricing or
