Coordination, information sharing, threat information sharing, and information sharing about best practices and best results. Thank you. Yeah thank you. And very quickly we are very open to trying to play a stronger role in trying to assist these conversations across different modes of transportation. I would say that just the first thing weve got to do in each of these modes is get the modes, you know within the modes having the discussion because there will be things unique to automobiles or to rail cars or to aviation that are distinct. But to your point i do think there are crosscutting issues too. And our department intends to play an active role on the crosscutting side of the conversation as well. Id like to thank you for a very interesting and informative session. [ applause ] lets all give the secretary [ applause ] thank you very much. Tonight on the communicators, fcc commissioner minion clyburn on their recent Net Neutrality ruling, municipal broadband and the subsidized ph
Excited to have me here. I responded. Was that you . Good to see you in the world. Just to tread lightly and question the status quo partly for me what i feel is a visible position i am a private person, and i use twitter more for professional services, so you will see me tweeting things like we issued our transparency report. That is the kind of thing i want people to know about. I know there are a lot of other people tweeting about seeing their daughters first steps. My daughters first steps were experienced by me in the comfort of my own home and were not disseminated in this way, but that is up to each on their own.

Even in cultures like ours, there is this poll to preserve parts of our culture. At twitter, we have certain like you have these core values, at twitter, we have a number of them too.

And not only that, even with her moms sacrifice joelle, who is only in her second year of college already has 12,000 in Student Loans and she estimates her total debt will be around 30,000 by the time she graduates. Again, that is even with her mom leaving the job she loves the job really as a society we would want her to be in and that she is so great at. Now, at the round tables i have around the state of minnesota i always hear about students working multiple jobs. Sometimes even putting in 40 hours a week while going to school full time. Now working at school is a good thing. Its not a bad thing. Not necessarily. Some work can help students manage their time, become more productive and of course help pay for college.
