but before i do that, i want say a few words about free market capitalism. that is real capitalism. the left often argues that capital ism is based on greed. that's untrue. in fact, the only way you can improve your life in a capitalist economy is by meeting the needs of other people. that is, by providing the goods or services other people want at a price they can afford to be a successful capitalist, you have to shift your outward to the needs and wants of others. your customers. when i was the ceo of siqueiros veterans and i retired about eight years ago, we spent literally millions of dollars every year trying to determine exactly what consumers, what kind of burgers that you want. you guys were all in our target market. we wanted a what kind of burgers did you guys want? and how could we offer them to you at the best price under capitalism, knowing what your customers want and offering to them at an affordable price? is that just the key to success? it's the key to survival. capital ism is a form of economic democracy where we vote as consumers with every dollar we spend on whi

the other side is capital. there aren't that many projects that are as ready to go as the portland they are 30% design. they're environmentally cleared. they're in the pipeline with the fta and others. we'd like to be included in consideration of the capital side the metropolitan transportation commission, the various operators, the many elected officials throughout the 101 cities the bay are trying to sort through this now given voter propensity which is not likely to to fund any old measure at the ballot, it has to be a surgically well-designed measure that provides a benefit to the riders and to the community to get to that passage so we we are a part of these discussions and as i mentioned at the top of the meeting in two different ways one is the operating costs of just keeping a safe and secure facility which is a fairly small number and the other is the capital as a source of match for the portal having done regional bond measures in san francisco and elsewhere, voters tend to like new things with new mo

in 1896, a new capitalism and a new enslavement of labor. end quote.h-jones argues, we are witnessing a second nadir, triggered by recent civil rights gains. today, just as then, white capital firmly holds the levers of politics and media in americ. in the decades leading up to trump, america shifted from explicit racial violence to institutionalized inequality, all cloaked in the rhetoric of colorblindness. following the civil rights era, overt racism was replaced with coded rhetoric that allowed white supremacy to persist under new guises. officials, for example, masked racism by calling for law and order and the need to protect property rights. they condemned the so-called welfare ethic. race was pushed to the background, hannah-jones argues, obscured by slogans about the economy, about small government, about so-called traditional values. this societal shift was buoyed by the supreme court decision that not only dismantled federal protections for black people under the guise of neutrality, but also erased the violent history that triggered those pr

where capitalism is not well regulated. and what charles dickens wrote in the 19th century, which is you have basically a top 1% that control the vast majority of the wealth maybe 80, 85 to 90% of the wealth you have small middle class. if you think of dickens, the christmas carol, ebenezer scrooge was actually the class. he was a small businessman, owned a small such a small business that he only had one employee that was the middle class. it was doctors, lawyers and shopkeepers. that was the middle class back then. and then you had the bottom 95% who were the working poor. it was everybody else. and in fact, england, you know, for four centuries as, far as i can tell, for a long time anyway, had what were called maximum wage laws, it was against the law to pay your workers more than a certain amount because british were afraid that a middle class, if it were to emerge in a large way. keeping in mind these would be people who didn't come from wealthy families. these are people who didn't come from royal families. these are

richard grinned now to come back as the capital of venezuela to meet directly with president nicholas my daughter. and he said, that's exactly what happened. now remember that the us does not recognize my daughter as the legitimate president of the country. and the us, like many other countries around the world international observers and the business without no position that's been very close to trump in the public. and so i don't really believe that my daughter sold the elections back in july. and yet now we see that from seems to be open to talking to them and eventually negotiating things. and we've seen that's one of the 3 to show a goodwill on part of the venezuelan throughout release this 6 man, we don't know who they are right now. their identity is not being revealed about the, the us as a longer q has been this way. a lot of the, a resting us citizens, that many of the jews, the pet or is, or of loving choosing the country against the, of the government of my daughter. and now we see at strong special language coming back with them in a meeting that at the same time, many of

and that's a con, manufacturing capital of the us, one of those businesses saying a while. that is a goal that many businesses can appreciate and relate to building u. s. manufacturing and detroit here as you say, the car manufacturing hub of the united states. but it's not something that can happen overnight. scaling up us manufacturing to replace what is coming over from the border from canada, across the bridge. right behind me here, canada is the 2nd largest trading partner of the united states behind mexico. and so the worry is that this will drive up prices and start a trade war, new united states, and ports and billions of dollars in goods from canada in car parts, and cars and lumber and crude oil. and the car manufacturing situation is particularly telling because a lot of the components that go into the vehicles that are made here in the united states come across that border to go into the cars. sometimes they have to go back and forth because even think about what's in a vehicle, there's hundreds of parks and all of them have different aspects and layers. they ma

whereas the capital of d. c contessa is about one to 5500 kilometers away. luwanda sees this is backyard, it's sphere. influence does it not? yeah. certainly does in terms of uh, goma, but obviously that's also it's not just about a distance. it's also about, you know, the ethnic ties between the tutsis who thought if essentially lead lawanda . i think it said that that takes us back to the, to the 1994 genocide which is still right. act a factor in this. yes. 100 percent. it is that the, you know, even though you will fall 2020 the, it's a benefit to you like to know more about that the later you look for pets. uh, many of those people will have died and then, you know, i'll go comfortable. but this is very much a fact that when you listen to the kinds of things that the leaders of, of the rebels talked about, they might be younger people. but it's still a huge concern in that, in that region. it's not just about the distance, it's about the fact that they are, they believe they are, they are not pressed peop

and it's kind of a poster child for racial capitalism in terms of domination.of one group by another. and at the same time, it's got enough lithium tree to cross within the entire american auto fleet. pretty much one and a half times over. and the question is, can get it right and. i think for us to get it right, we're going to to understand that we need to go big and small. this is a huge opportunity. we need to take equity in at the beginning rather than sprinkle it on later. if we don't start this process and say, whoops, like with oil, it's pretty unfair, how do we fix it up later? how do we equity? and from the beginning it's going to require that develop the skills of both testing with capital and cooperating with capital because frankly it's big corporations that created this climate mess but at same time it's like corporations that have the capital and technology that are going to be necessary to pull out and that's very difficult terrain for us to work in as a finally we need to understand again the point i made earlier, lithium has value because of us

there is a citywide capital budget and there's a separate process to that through the capital planning committee capital's re evaluate reevaluated each year there is an assumption on when the budget is approved. there is two years of capital approved for the department but all city departments go through the process at the capital planning committee where we present our projects we have an opportunity to update it. the biggest question comes in is what is the funding available at the end of the day in some years we've we've had reductions to our previously approved levels in some cases we've had additions too. so it kind of depends on what the overall financial picture is for the capital program as a whole, not necessarily just for the department. so those discussions are obviously ongoing and part of the mayor's phase for sure challenges for us these have been brought up in many different meetings under many different topics but they are still there. >> we must the challenge we have is addressing day to day needs, staffing equipment etc. to allow us to do our mission for emergency res

i think what we're worried about right now is some than iokm, 15km away from the provincial capital.we're going to have to take stock of in coming days. it's supplies getting in. i've also heard today from families saying the price so we're really faced by a situation which on a protection level is pretty serious as well. the women need? what do the elderly people need as well? assault. what mechanisms are in place to document to respond to them? so what we have been doing, and it's notjust been when people don't have food, when you're in very temporary shelter, especially women who have to go that they might have, and so over a period of time, we are working different agencies. and we're all looking at how we can help all you want to do is to be able to look after your family. and unfortunately, you know, they are stretched so far. you know they are under a massive amounts of trauma. so again, it's really important that we have mechanisms that they can have skills so that they can perhaps that might be tailoring. i need to keep my children safe. i need to keep my family safe. in har
