In oakland. Only at 5 00, joe vazquez has the victims story and her ordeal and how bart police responded. I felt a hand come up and try to grab my phone. I clung on to it. Reporter elaine was texting on the bart train. It stopped thursday evening around 6 30, a robber took her phone. She tried to wrestle for it back. He looked at me and said let it be. I said no, give me back my phone. Reporter then he physically attacked her and another man who tried to help. He just punched me on the right side of my head. I get a little emotional. On the right side of my head right here. He ran, and it was my instinct to come after him. I just ran after him and started screaming, yelling, stop him finally one individual did try to stop him. The guy started swinging at him, so he kind of blocked and stopped. I wanted to say thank you to that individual.

Isnt this something that is just absorbed over time as more employers employees make money, they spend more and then youll have to rehire. Isnt this a red herring argument . And my second question is, why dont we just increase minimum wage or do some index so were constantly increasing wages and we dont have to have this discussion. With the minimum wage l on the increase economists by and y large agree that there is a negative impact overall on the economy, particularly on like the 18 to 25 demographic where you see recordem levels of n unemployment.

You learn how to type simple commands, magic spells we call them. And you see beautiful washes of color and shapes appear before your eyes. Weve also creative a narrative adventure called terminal quest, which i think some people in this audience who came up on the commodore 64 may enjoy. Terminal quest is a mystery, a narrative mystery told step by step, where you use linux command spells to unlock new powers, save your town and borrow into basically a new world. You go down the rabbit hole, you try to solve the mystery, you dont realize it, but youre learning about the linux command line spells that make a lot of the modern world work. Another
