more than 50 tenants who were forced to leave san francisco apartment building of nafta, the lawsuitinst the property management company . they're seeking damages for what they characterized as chronic mismanagement and deception tied to the recent flooding at the building at 33 to hamish street in rincon hill, the tenants were forced to evacuate two times this year after water pipes burst once in june, another again in august. many were forced to live in hotels. while rising interest rates are leading more people across the country to change their minds about buying new homes. the bay area is not following that trend in home purchase cancelations oakland came in 43rd, san jose 45th and san francisco 49th was slightly more than 4% canceled. the number one city for breaking a home purchase is jacksonville, florida, where more than 26% of all new home deals or dropped campfires annual fire prevention week kicked off with a message about how to prepare for a house fire. the agency says there's two critical factors and preparing for fire properly installed smoke alarms and advance planni

we've seen the emergence of bilateral regional agreements, tpp, nafta which turned into usmca.brexit. this is affecting not just trade and business services but also supply chains. as you mention i have been served on board of three. we make a mask so we can make a lot of the masks. real issues with the prosecution agreement, excuse me, that the prosecution agreement, dpa which i was the president, former president trump put in place basically restricting the sale of masks outside of the united states during covid. real global issues that emerge. s also about capital flows. people like yourself who work in finance are familiar with the trade, you borrow cheaply in york and london and you invest in high risk adjusted returns and five it's like brazil and argentina and south africa. that world is very fractured now with investors and also capital controls. you start to think about immigration and i much that is a topical issue and people across the world resisting immigration, creating pockets of disorderly immigration we have seen in europe. we are seeing it at the southern bord

having to do with autoparts and cars, which then gave birth to the entire north america free trade act, naftae it worked so well. but a car goes back and forth between these two countries, where different parts are made. that is the ambassador bridge, where there was that trucker strike protest thing last year which was just weird, that all took place on the ambassador bridge. it was this year, actually, it took place on the ambassador bridge. but it's one of the busiest border crossings on the entire continent, both in terms of volume and in terms of dollar value. so that is windsor, ontario you are looking at. lots of ships here to, this is one of the most interesting places in america, geographically the center of the continent, it has rail lines, it has got a border, a river, the detroit river, you are looking at. it is also connected to the great lakes, a lot of shipping in fact. every little while, here in detroit, you will see a big ship going by. we just saw one a few minutes ago. it was a grain ship, i'm calling it a green shape, it's called a bulk dry ship. anything dry that could b

nixon's refuted lies about his involvement in a cover-up and summer so that his press secretary for nafta later stated all previous statements were in operative. and because of the impact, the reporters now all want to be bob woodward and they want to break that next scandal and result the media has become much more hostile towards the presidency there's no more collaboration that the president can count on and if we look at the amount of the negative news that the president has to face has gone up in the presidents sharing the news coverage has gone down. i'll vacate more difficult for the president to meet publicly and related to the fourth problem, people are paying less attention to the president addresses and we might think the now we can watch a presidential speech on so many different platforms. a broadcast, cable, phone, on your tablet, on your computer and you will see higher ratings of the president's speeches and that is not what is happening. in the present is a benefit by having a captive audience and a new channel and the president comes on, people just watch because what el

that is quite the magnitude six and close to nafta caused a fair amount of damage, but the damage in that earthquake was pretty localized . it was mostly in napa. i mean, it wasn't where we felt it across the bay. area is in the middle of the night. in case people don't remember. i remember being woken up by that earthquake and the night but it only caused damage in napa and again. that's because it's a magnitude six. and so it does do damage but in a relatively localized area, as opposed to a magnitude seven that can do damage over much larger area, the other thing that's really interesting about this earthquake is the early warning system, so we've had an early warning system active now in the bay area for a few years and the early warning systems. cess feli detected this earthquake and pushed out an alert across pretty much all of the bay area. the might shake app, which is available for free delivered out about 95,000 alerts. there's the alert, you can see the other there. the critical that went out to the mice shake app and the android system also delivered out across all of the
