Thank you can, heather. I hope that was as powerful to the supervisors as it was me listening to it. The struggle so many nurses have been in so long to get an ear is very moving to me. Its also moving to me that our patients suffer from all the things that youre hearing. Were very dedicated people. Nurses are good people, were short on ego, were long on competence, we do our jobs because we care about people and we dont like suffering. What we see because of these problems is more suffering that could be fixed. So Patient Experience, im not going to spend time on this. Heather really gave you the story, but the Patient Experience due to these problems with staffing is obviously negative. I work in primary care. The worst the worst day of my week is when i have a patient who is decompensating, running out of breath, turning blue, sweating and i have to say, we got to get you to the emergency room. And the patient says, no way. [please stand by] [please stand by] to make my point, i wou
Representing more than 51,000 pilots in 31 u. S. And canadian airlines. [inaudible conversations] okay. If we could go ahead and take our seats, well get started. And now i would like to welcome our webcast audience to join us this morning. Thank you for joining in with us. Lets go ahead and begin our next panel. Okay. As i mentioned earlier, im going to change my role, certainly, a little bit x im going to moderate this discussion with our friends from the faa, transport canada and the International Civil Aviation Organization otherwise known as icao. Often its been said that safety is never an end state. Those of us in the safety business know it is ever changing, and our work is never finished. We can never delude ourselves into thinking weve got all the answers, and i know most of you know that. No flight is ever routine or just like the previous one. To some degree, theres always a unique set of conditions and circumstances that present a challenge to an otherwise safe and unevent
Palestinian land in the west bank. But separation may be the thing in order right now. Otherwise we are heading for another century of conflict, which is not going to do anybody any good. I mean, if israel wants to be free and be protected, they have to understand that palestinians want to be free and protected, too. Have hiserson cannot rights and freedom while stepping on the throat of another person and expect that person not to resist them a not to be angry. If america really were to care and want to be peacemaker, it needs to be firmer in asserting that the occupation has to end. Not just lets try to do it and play the role of convener and then walked out and try to let them solve it themselves. They cannot solve it themselves. Anthologies have taken hold on both sides that sort of inhibit them from doing it. America and the world has to be firm and say enough is enough, separate and separate now.

Which is easy to say and hard to do. Do any of our panelists have any comments on the usa freedom act pending in congress and the differences between the house and the Senate Version of the bill, one of our questions related to the provision thats not in the house bill but in the senate bill regarding the special advocate for to be present before the fisa court.

Hows the reseptember economic struggles impacted how states align with federal support and ability of the federal government toates align with fe support and ability of the federal government to give support . So here is the bottom line. There is a lot of downward pressure economically at all levels of government. And so, states and their political subdivisions, we have seen an increase in request for federal assistance, both inside and outside of the disaster declarations, to help offset the impact on budgets. Ill give you a great example. When it snows, there is a need to do removal of snow and ice from the roads. One would expect that most states and local governments would plan and budget for that. As a policy matter we generally dont provide assistance for road treatment unless there is a record or near record know fall. That policy is meeting resistance because record or near record snow falls, governments are struggling to meet their snow removal bud
