Expectations china vowed to retaliate against u. S. Tariffs set to go into effect september 1 were now on track for a higher open lighthizer said its not possible given your past behavior so an awful lot to absorb today. Very interesting that the futures are up exactly the amount they are right now. They issued a very strident set of words toward us at the same time, announced stick l stimulus for hong kong where is what the president said on twitter what happened and without that, i think theyre going to view the olive branch of moving back to december as an illadvised move because the chinese arent playing ball were going to have Chuck Robbins later on this hour the chinese derailed their outlook. Asking them not to bid on business things are getting very, very tense. If we let that dominate the headlines and forget to look at what walmart said today, i think well have a false narrative because of how bad things are. Remember, we are not a big export nation. But yeah, the gloom is pr
Demand. In all likelihood, that would be something that would be coming forward, if the exemption stays in place, at the state level, probably coming forward at a local level to require all businesses. Do we have any kind of idea on the date for ab161 . It is still in the senate. We do not have a date, at this point. Then, lastly, i just want to say that the last Strategic Plan that the department has is from 201314. I have discussed this with the president , and the Vice President , that it needs be updated. I think this is something we could work on during the Commission Meeting without having to have a separate meeting. We will be working with president adams and Vice President dwight to bring that to you. Great, thank you. Quick question, going back to the earlier thing.

First of all , david wilkin sos has been our consultant from Northern California Community Loan fund. Thank you, david. Thank you for helping me understand this weave of stuff and so forth.

Did you thank you, dan, for working with me and still being able to call me a friend. We also have identified an al allstar team to help us with this kitchen and build it.
