Consider curbside. It would only be repair, minimal repair. We are asking if it is too early for San Francisco to reopen retail sought shops. Starting on monday, the health order will allow more nonessential businesses to reopen, including offices, even strip malls. Social distancing rules would still have to be in place. So this is where things stand in the bay area. San francisco is about to join napa and sonoma counties, which are already open for limited retail. We are just learning that Alameda County will allow Curbside Pickup next week. Santa clara and contra costa counties are holding resurgence until may 31st. Day three, employees are back to work.

And the third, and there is no dispute about this, the house bill and senate bill add anywhere between 2 trillion to the deficit of this country and we shouldnt be deficit financing a tax reform bill. Let me first talk very briefly about process. Lets not repeat the mistakes that we made. It was outrageous that late friday night we got a 500pageplus amendment to the pending bill and tried to read it and couldnt even read the handwritten changes that were put into the margins, and then we were asked to vote on that later that evening. That process just is not befitting the United States
