Still a new year for many of us. The stock share of 600 opening to slightly mix hadded this morning as you would have seen edging just a little bit lower despite the positive data from germany. A 2. 2 rise in the year to november. A 5. 6 rise in exports as well. That was quite a bit better than anticipated. In europe were still just moving a little bit lower. When it examines to some of the sectors and our main markets that trend is reflected in the markets. Autos bucking the trend. With regards to some of the auto sales figures looking quite perky. Basic resources higher and telecoms off by right around 1. 3 . Well be
Like, i definitely dont mean to offend anybody, and if you want to talk more deeply, but if youre going to be so thinskinned we cant have a conversation, thats your voice, but im going to keep talking. So thank you. Thank you. Yes, sir. So, eric, youve touched on the theme of education and the role in promotion of virtue. So my wife and i, believing that the purpose of education is wisdom and virtue, chose a classical christian school. Right. Some would argue youre abandoning the Public Schools where the reality is the majority of our citizens will be educated well, i mean yeah. Just touch on some specifics around how we can, regardless of where our children go to school, engage in the Public School system. Well, it depends. Everybodys called to do different things.

The rest the rest of the government was ready to do this. But churchill was not. He threatened to resign if fdr kept pressing him. So they backed up. If they had intentions then i think there is no real momentum for pakistan in 1942 at all. You couldve handed power to unify government. The british wouldve stay.
