my comment, i had a question for you because i agree with commissioner dwight as well. i think it can be very difficult. and commissioner riley made a good point about defining what that component is. with that being said, a pos system being inspected now in san francisco? i know the weight machines, we're talking pos as well right now? and to commissioner tour-sarkissian's point, some of them don't even know. is that being caught on a personal and secure taxes as far as the equipment? is that completely separate or is that, again, another tax? or registration fee, do we know? >> so, the department of public health under the weights and measures is the one that licenses the pos system. it doesn't impact them. >> so, when the commission first heard this, and i think -- and i think commissioner dwight -- commissioner dooley was on the commission at the time. when we first heard it, the idea was i think they're first going to roll it out to the larger businesses and then start rolling it out to the smaller business he. and, so, i'm not sure if i'm answering your question.

commissioner dwight. >> thanks for your presentation. very informative. my father's company made the first supermarket scanners. i'm very familiar with the -- why this legislation all came to be. in the early days the pricing database was largely manual, so, its was disconnected from the database at the register. so, there was great concern you would see a price on the shelf. check out is different price higher, lower. the concern was you would be checked out at a higher price. in the flurry of activity at a check-out thing like supermarket, things are flying by so fast you don't realize it until you get home. heck with it. i thought it was supposed to be 69 cents a pound and it was 89 cents a pound. don't bother with t. today i think those databases are more tightly coupled at retail. so, i suspect that the differences are far less. and online, the price database directly feeds the shopping cart. so, the opportunity for a disconnect between the price that you see when you're seeing it online on your computer screen and the price you see at check out is m

. >> commissioner dwight? >> well, i mean, i suppose you could just say, well, i'm not using it as a point of sale device. i'm using it it as an inventory control device because that same scanner is used in the warehouse or on the shelf when i do my inventory, i'm going to go around and scan everything. i am not involved in a retail transaction. i'm merely involved in the, in the act of counting and accounting for inventory. and, so, if my quote-unquote point of sale activity is strictly to track inventory, you know, or is for purposes of managing inventory and incidentally i get a total of the transaction, you know, maybe there is a work around there of some kind. i just -- it's mind boggling that point of sale technology -- that the use of technology to make your business more efficient like this and control your inventory is subject to a tax. >> i would agree. my comment, i had a question for you because i agree with commissioner dwight as well. i think it can be very difficult. and commissioner riley made

commissioner dwight? >> i'd say a lot of what we currently know is it's too early to tell. lots of people are on leases that are going to come due. we're seeing that in the business sector. i'm quite sure that's true in the residential sector. so, i don't think we've seen the full impact of the increase in real estate prices for residents or businesses just yet. i know anecdotally as leases are coming up in the business sectors, small business sectors that we're familiar with, the rent increases are double if not triple digits. and that is also the case in nonrent controlled apartments. so, i think the problem that i see with the economic projections is that they don't fully account for the effects we're going to see because we don't know them yet and we haven't seen them yet. everyone likes to think it's all rosy right now, yeah, the dooms sayers aren't right because it's not played out yet. secondly, i think that, you know, by all current projections the job growth is going to be most dominant downtown amongst office workers and knowledge workers. they have to fill those

whose protÉges were dwight howard -- dwight eisenhower.e said never go to war if you do not have to, never fight alone, and never fight longer than you have to. the way we have overcome this in the past, americans generally are not interested in what goes on in the rest of the world, foreign aid has always been about as unpopular as something terrible. fallen to is always our leadership to persuade and educate the american people why these things are necessary. why our engagement is necessary. summer ofget in the 1941, selective service was continued by one vote. seems tois missing it of persuasive leadership, not just from the president, but from the leaders of both parties and in particular in congress. our in this kind of -- leadership is still needed in the world. and that without that leadership, we are going to face far worse circumstances one day in the future. it is that leadership that has always made the difference for us.
