We have again, we have declaratory policies about humanitarian issues but theres no followthrough. People make pledges they never deliver. Ive looked at camps in kurdistan. I remember seeing the sea of tents last year in northern jordan where syrians have come. Ive seen the camps in turkey. And, you know, if you really want to think about the nightmare, think about all those young men in those camps. Very little jobs, money, but radical preachers. People talking to them about settling scores and its a formula for not just another four, eight years of trouble but a generation of nightmarish problems. We saw what happened when the palestinians were dispersed and went into camp and had radicals banging them every day about the struggle. And i think its i fear its already too late to have caught t
Chain was paying this person effectively 1. 69 an hour because they were providing a 5. 60 hourly tip credit which was calculated to include a meal that they would throw in. Thats 1. 69 an hour. They claimed to satisfy the federal minimum wage of 7. 25 when you add the two together but in reality she absolutely was not making 5 and 60 cents an hour. They figure and tips and the fact that employer have the nerve to make her work 20 of her time on nontip work in the kitchen. 1. 69 an hour in america, 2015. This is an honest person working hard to make ends meet and i dont care who you are, theres something fundamentally wrong with that. We have a system that would take advantage of someone like her following the rules working hard only to make that person more wealthy. There is story after story of that happening in our country. While this may seem i can say that there is hope and it starts here. We are in a unique historic moment in the Progressive Movement. For the first time the donor

And active relationships between our Computer Emergency Readiness Team and certs that are being stood up all around the world by countries. The uk has just stood up a new cert. They had a couple certs before that and stood up a new one to act as a fuller counter part. But there are certs in lots of counties with which they interact on a daily basis. And that is obviously essential. These threats i mean, its most obvious in cyber but it is true across the board, you know, Mother Nature doesnt really know borders and we saw that as we contemplating the potential consequences of the aftereffects of the tsunami in japan. Terrorism clearly is a transnational crime. We have to have that international piece. The tenyear, again, the landscape changes so rapidly that it is an incredibly hard challenge to think about what we might confront. But i will tell you my sort of utopian vision for where i would like to see us heading and where i would like to see us closer to in ten years. You know, aga
