The flipside of that is there are many people, and if you push them on it, they will tell you they will say i dont know what my calling is but what i am doing is not that. And yet they dont have the courage to make the change. And so for me, the main lesson was when i knew that that was not my calling, it probably was i dont know, a year, a couple of years before i really owned that and said, you know what, im going to honor the fact i know this is not the right path for me. And you would pursue something else. Rich part of that transition for all of us is, the kernel of that notion of facilitating social change. We dont always know what the kernel is. Once we identify the kernel, the options that are likely to be more aligned become more clear. Gabriel for me, part of the inside i had came out of trying to create a little bit of distance from it and saying, ok, what is it i ....
1 10 of the point is not how you want to evaluate Something Like raising the minimum wage. The final point in terms of the internationalization, is that we know crosssectional he and crosscountry, and someone else touched on this emphasizing collectivebargaining, i will emphasize the outcomes. That majority, not just european countries, including some of the asian and richer latinamerican countries, where the wage gap is much smaller and they managed to export and have relatively large labor force participation. Labor force participation has actually gone up in western europe, even including germany. It is not this iron law that if you pay more you cease to do business.

It is windy here and it is a steady, moderate rain as we said it will only get worse as the day pro grosses. Moderate right now but steady on our drive from pacifica through San Francisco this morning. Luckily the people who were on the roads were driving quite slowly, taking heed to the potentially dangerous conditions this morning. Things right now in pacifica, the gates are supposed to be open on the pier, we saw a group of about ten crappers hoping to go cracking but they couldnt because the gates were closed. One gentlemen approached us and asked why are the gates closed . Our assumption is it is a precaution because the weather will only continue to get worst. The water hasnt exceeded the seawall yet, but chance are they will. We are stand ....
Calling chiefs of station around the world and being down into the daytoday involvement . That did not happen to my knowledge. The interaction between the National Security staff in the Central Intelligence agency was almost exclusively, not largely but most exclusively between mr. Mcdonough and mr. Brennan and me.

The cia 33 years . Yes sir. Would you say the cia is more independent today than it was when you entered or less . From micromanagem ....
