After a rough day where the dow tumbled 314 points, s p plunged 1. 56 , and the nasdaq plummeted 1. 67 , i think the problems simple a list of stocks that are working seems to grow smaller by the day. Isnt that what it feels like . We have fewer stocks that are safe to own and more that are down right toxic as we saw near the end of the day when the bears crushed the bulls toward antichina fueled trading. Today felt like a vicious pro Football Game where the quarterback was under pressure all day and succumbed in the Fourth Quarter in football, a quarterback tries to do a check down, looking to receivers for the best opportunities down field sometimes the Wide Receivers are wide open. Sometimes the qb has to thread the needle to hit a receiver, a slant pattern. Other times, times like today, the bears are swarming, and its like a jailbreak as they head toward the quarterback if he doesnt get rid of the ball in time, hes likely to be sacked, perhaps for a big loss or a fumble or even an

Veteran voices are elevated in the halls of legislature and we mentioned access and how everyone in San Francisco can access cannabis, not my people. A lot of my people have to choose between eating and medicating with cannabis. So im here to serve as that compassion voice. I would like to answer the diversity question up front. Where
