But. They came over this Mountain Range on the other side is their country syria. They are needed here in the bekaa valley. But. The harvest lasts until december until then there is work for everyone. Tens of thousands of refugees from the Syrian Civil War are laboring in the fields near the Syrian Lebanese border. Children like we on have to work to provide for their Families Together with her friend she works an eight hour shift like the others here sometimes even longer. More than half the farm laborers our children who should be going to school but have been drafted to work as wage slaves. The farmer who owns the potato field hires the young field workers via the camp supervisor or shall we should he ensures that the harvest is carried out without a hitch and that his workers get what they need to subsist on. With. My parents get four packages of bread every day for all of us there is a deduction for electricity. And for the space where my family has our tent up can follow conflict
Tiring. The one thing i enjoyed was i got to know voters and residents. You do not really get to do that when you run citywide. I enjoyed campaigning more because i had time to meet voters individually, and i loved it. I really enjoyed being out on the field. I spent all lot of time doing it. Which i thought was important both for me because i get a deeper understanding of what people care about, and what people loved about the district and the city, and i think it was better for our community that i was out there one on one. What are the Biggest Issues for San Francisco right now . Supervisor kim Economic Development. That is the Biggest Issue for San Francisco and the country. Our economy is not in the best place that it could be. We really do see that people want to see more jobs for everybody. Second, it is probably a myriad of issues. For our district, and think Public Safety issues ranging from lowlevel crime to larger Public Safety issues. We held our first hearing on pedestrian
I have two questions, theyre a little bit unrelated but the first one goes on the scheme of plastic, so plastic wrap, plastic bags, you know, its great to say we should all use glass but we know whats used out there is plastic, and its reusable, you can come up with all these ways to avoid it but theres plastic everywhere and its accessible and cheap, so plastic wrap gets used a lot, there arent that many alternatives that can do what plastic wrap does, i dont use a lot of it and its harder to store things longterm and same question applies for the freezer, its easier to put things in a freezer bag. So, a little tip for that is i do admit to using plastic bags, i reuse them and if something is not i dont use them for liquids and if something isnt somehow already kind of like a solid or whatever, parchment paper around that and then use the plastic just as the thing that keeps it from leakproof or if im taking soup to work, i have my soup in a glass jar but i will throw it in plastic be
Issue. Finally, the United States and europe need to get serious on alternatives. Practical projects that reinforce cooperation can help u. S. And eu approaches to climate change. I Hope Congress will find a way to allow the government to issue lng export licenses in a sufficient number for u. S. Lng to make a difference under an allied Energy Security act ian while not have an Immediate Impact it will not solve europes problems on the Energy Security it will be a very, very important political message. It would send the political message it would send is incall clabl especially to Vladimir Putin. By the way, i hope senator johnson in the course of the debate you will ask me what i think is ahead of Vladimir Putin when hes stopped short of invading the whole of the ukraine but maybe at another time. What really is at stake here in conclusion i would say is the cohesion and resilience of democratic and free societies. This is really an enormous task. And i do feel the United States must
Its something that you continue to work with. I mean, San Francisco is an attractive place to people in general so were going to get folks from all over, homeless, nonhomeless. And i think part of the balance is making sure that social Service Agencies that provide support to Homeless Individuals are available, that they have the resources they need, that they are held accountable to be out there and working and talking to folks who are interested in services. And the other issue is that, you know, we do have sadly an increase in crime and the area as a result of an increase in the homeless population. So, having a Police Presence which weve had, park station has been really active and not only being out there and enforcing the law, but doing what police are not required to do, offering opportunities for services. And, so, i think San Francisco is an incredibly compassionate city. And i think our Police Department has been compassionate. I think our Fire Department has been compassiona
