the process after that was certainly kafka esque.bureaucratic professionally, i found it unprofessional that those making the decisions did not have relevant skills and i also felt that there was an agenda which was not being fully disclosed to me. what agenda is that, do you think? when i saw the full medical notes which i had to apply for, i noted that on a fewer occasions, they would be sentences which would begin informally, one said "informally, i know that mr macdonald works for a0 to 50 hours a week for scope, visibility charity." it was unpaid work but the knowledge to the decision—makers was if he is able to do that sort of work, surely he must be all right. it is those nudges and winks that i found most troubling and most dismaying. give our listeners an idea of what pip is worth to people paying it. and varies according to the assessment made but in my case i was receiving about £3000 a year. and if you don't have this allowance, if it is not awarded to you, what happens to you? how do you cope? firstly, this is not a stor

i'm here to talk about 980 folsom street and tell you a little story kafka may have written, but it's nonfiction. i submitted for my environmental evaluation august 1st, 2014, my site permit december 29, 2014. no environmental planner was even assigned until february 2015, and a regular planner was first assigned in august 2015, but he didn't look at the drawings until early in 2016. then he slowly started looking at it, but then he was transferred to a different quadrant. a second planner was assigned in 2016. she quit the department. i had a third planner assigned at the end of 2016, who started looking at -- and she was very good, and she started looking at the drawings at the beginning of 2017, so once i had a planner looking at it, two and a half years after i submitted for my site permit, it went well. but, in fact, it was about a year. less than a year, in fact, from the time she started finally looking at it. i got my first notice of planning department requirements in february of '17, and i got planning commission approval october 5, 2017. so things actually went reasonably w

in the case of kafka, maybe you can bully somebody through and get kavanaugh to adopt that tone duringthere are senators who are concerned about that tone, who didn't particularly like the way he spoke to amy klobuchar, the way he spoke to dianne feinstein. even on the republican side there was some queasiness about adopting that tone. we shouldn't ignore the fact, there are costs to some of this behavior. >> absolutely. i mean i'm one of those, i guess you would call cry babies like you who think hey it shouldn't have done this way. yeah, it can come back. but we're saying for two years this will come back to haunt and it hasn't yet. i'm just saying, i feel a little disconcerted that his tactics which i find a bit repelling, have kind of worked in the past couple of weeks and in some ways some of the fever has broken. >> so jeffrey goldberg, where are we right now in this kavanaugh story? we're at the point now where people are debating the definition of blacking out when you drink. we're going back to 1975 a police report whether or whether or not judge kavanaugh threw ice at somebod
