Its all about community for burning man, and in weekend its been a muddy community, a major update from the nevada desert. The gates have reopened, and people are finally able to drive away.

After rain soaked burning man festival in nevada over the weekend, stranding an estimated 70,000 attendees at the venn crew, the sun is finally shining, drying up the once impassable road out. Some attendees had already left their belongings and cars behind, walking a few miles to the nearest road. The first mile was ankle deep mud. And we were barefoot because walking with shoes wasnt really an option. It cake on your shoe like cement. It took theres brothers from parish 24 hours to get back out of the mud. We pu
Nonfarm labor report. Were so obsessed with what the big picture data might mean to the fed that it even controls the action during the single most important week of the earnings calendar. Fortunately today it went our way with the dow gaining 322 points, s p climbing. 91 and nasdaq jumping 1. 51 but i think thats because we can breathe a sigh of relief the fed meeting is behind us why do we have to hope tomorrow will bring a weak employment number with fewer jobs added, more modest wage growth . Because after todays beautiful absence of what we call macro numbers the fed obsession will start anew should they have left the door open for a raise should we have signaled a cut . Its all we talk about think about what happened yesterday and today. Lets start with the a. M. Before the fed meeting broke up we had a not so hot market it was pretty ugly we were down because people were worried the fed chief jay powell might lower the boom on the stock market by saying something hawkish.

Was supervisor ronen. We need to have a fair democratic process that goes along with this. This is not about identity, this is about fair process. Right now, San Francisco has seven out of ten Homeless People that once had a roof over their heads, one of the worst income inequalities in the world. The average latino family in the district making 25,000 a year, yet we have white people making 150 k a year. We can house all of these people, but we need to have a fair process, and right now theres a lot of trauma that goes on with the residents of San Francisco because they dont feel they can trust that democratic process right now. We need to appoint an incident ram mayor and get a legally binding contract with the city and county of San Francisco so that way we dont have this caretaker mayor that can actually run in the future, so thats all im saying with that. But i really urge the city and county of San Francisco to have a fair process. That way, its unbiased, with the three candidate

So it was really fantastic. And the pride i just want to share with you, the pride of the folks that was there, it
