and that is for the company that is so important, the twitter company. but not just twitter. twitter knows they are going to be an anchor for us and they are already attracting other businesses such as burning man, the cultural arts. you're going to see these cultural arts agencies, all live along midmarket. that is what we are trying to do. we're trying to make improvements to encourage business to continue coming to the area, and to create improvements for the whole area. the city is also working on improving blight. just last week when we had our first vote, not celebrating just because of twitter, we walked together -- with twitter, with the shorenstein group, and began at the noon substation on fifth street. we are going to make it safe for everybody. you are going to be able to walk that street and not feel the traditional fears you felt before. we are going to improve the blight. i am proud to be joined by some many great reporters and advocates. market street is in inderal in the diverse makeup of san francisco. we will make sure it becomes a bustling central locale f

they would love to woo twitter and companies like that to their jurisdiction. just as an aside -- president obama at the beginning of this session proposed and passed payroll tax breaks. somehow we as a community did not have a problem with that, and we were supportive of what president obama did at the national level because we all believed it made sense. i want to obviously reiterate what we have heard from everyone about the importance of having a comprehensive business tax reform. this is something i have been talking about when i served in the small business commission. it is something i experienced as the founder of a small business. that being said, last year, we started the conversation. i want to thank various stakeholders who have been in conversations with me thus far about it, as well as colleagues. i want to thank today the president of sciu 1021. they have been one of the most vehement opponents of the legislation today, but a few hours ago, the president committed we will work together to talk about how we reform business tax. that being said, we

within the very first weeks of going on the job, you heard about twitter. thanks to david chew and his counsel and guidance, we all met the top three officers of twitter and would down to the offices and not only met with them but we also met with the engineers in closed-door discussions and talked to them about their commitment to being here and the reason. then for them to tell me, 65% of their current work force are san francisco residents, 25% come to work on their bicycles every day. by the way, we love those little dedicated lanes, can you do more. we felt we could offer as an anchored to the mid market area an exemption the payroll taxes. i think, along with some other members of the board, that maybe that payroll tax is something we shouldthat is how big twister i. -- twitter is. they have their international area. you have been reading about them. their tools are being used throughout the whole world, whether it is egypt, yemen, libya, twitter is being used around the whole world. it is critical that companies like twitter the convinced that we are

for a company like twitter that's potentially tens of millions of dollars.hile there's a midmarket plan being contemplated, a number of other supervisors are coming in and saying maybe we have to reform the whole business tax and give a break completely citywide. >> at this point, when you have a company like twitter, internationally known, doesn't that company have san francisco over a barrel in this case? you don't want to lose a company like that. >> they absolutely do. and people are looking at twitter is the new technology boom in san francisco. that's where they are looking to have the jobs. we have the bread and butter of the hospitality industry but they are going biotech, green technology, high technology software companies. that's where we're going to start getting the money in san francisco. so they are fearful if you do go to the peninsula which we've seen that other companies will follow. what can you do to -- >> are there any examples out there? any examples of other cities who have done this in california? >> no, because san francisco has a un

i do understand the eagerness to provide incentives fwhere twitter comes from. we have to look at what it means for the overall tax structure and what it means for the overall businesses in san francisco. and we also need to be concerned about displacement of current tenants and current businesses. i lived in san francisco during the dot com boom. i saw firsthand how building where i worked out for a couple years, i saw many non-profits displaced by dot com companies. they never came back. the rent became too much and they had believed. -- to leave. we see a cluster of high-tech industry are around the market area. we see those rents increase on small businesses and small nonprofits that serve the community. we also saw a lot of tenants that saw their apartment rents are rising as well. i saw many friends that live in oakland, and as a result, they could not keep up with the high rent that was being incurred as business was booming. they will have more money to spend on their housing. i have cautioned about what this legislation would do in terms of displacing b

twitter feeds they don't even know if they came from libya they could have come from neighboring arab countries where people you know are conversant in arabic or they could have come from outside the region as well it could come easily from langley virginia or a number of military bases where there are side or command activities present to do this type of thing it's their mission and the united states from my understanding of the law isn't allowed to engage in psychological operations that are that are black operations where the source isn't revealed at home like for example with a sock puppets a fake facebook accounts in order to influence the conversation abroad those have to be in another language they campaign in which you can't target americans do you buy that well what happens in this it's called the blowback effect the cia used the plant stories and foreign newspapers that would be picked up by the wire services and put in u.s. papers it was cia decision for that information now maybe it was intentional or maybe unintentional but that is always the effect of pushing out this pr

we should do everything we can to go to the point of doing a spot and save tax break for twitter. then do a spot in state tax break for a grocery store in the tenderloin area. this makes me believe that everything we are talking about is not transparent or deliverable. and as it stands now, neither is the cba. nothing in the process has won me over. and it sets us up to have the exact same discussion with other companies in other districts will also wonder why they are not getting their fair share i would like -- not getting their fair share. i would like to have a pause, if we could. thank you. [applause] supervisor chiu: supervisor winner? supervisor wiener: we in city hall to a lot of talking about the importance of keeping jobs in san francisco and creating jobs, making san francisco a better place to do business, it easier place to do business, and it is just an enormous amount of talk. now we have an opportunity to actually take action and put money where our mouth is, and that is why i am supporting this legislation. there are a lot of ways we could make it easier to do bus

so -- >> jimmy: her twitter name is jasmineortiz30 on twitter. >> is it? is that her?, you can use twitter for good. you can use it for good. that's the thing. >> jimmy: love. love. magic. russell, what do you do? do you use twitter? >> see. >> russell: evil. >> jimmy: no, no, no. you don't use it for evil. >> russell: use it for malice. >> jimmy: no, no, no. >> you should use it for good. >> jimmy: you're @rustyrocket. >> russell: @rustyrocket. i -- i also only use it for good. >> is that you? @rustyrocket. >> russell: i meant, more recently i left one of your dresses in a cab.

[ laughter ]

twitter you know activists and activists on facebook that are you know can tweet and say we're being killed we're being massacred we need help you know those sorts of things is the joke on the u.s. if the if the u.s. is really looking at these as as advents that intervention needs to get and i think the u.s. is probably behind the these twitter feeds they don't even know if it came from libya they could have come from neighboring arab countries were people you know conversant in arabic or they could have come from outside the region as well we could come easily from langley virginia or a number of military bases where there are cyber command activities present that do this type of thing it's their mission so do you think it's really winning in this use of cyber tactics then you know some would call it warfare with non-state actors state actors like united states getting in the game who stand to benefit the us right now and say it's a draw because look at the what's happening on the ground in libya it's basically a stalemate khadafi did not go away as everybody thought he was he's act

when this comes to the job hunt employers and future employees are tapping into twitter. >> reporter: tens of thousands of applicants entered the tiger blood and applied to the charlie sheen intern. turns out he's not alone in using twitter to recruit a summer employee. >> a lot of companies, especially in the marketing and communications side, are using things like twitter directly to put their job leads out and screen candidates. >> reporter: when this comes to the hunt for inturnships, twitter is showing its advantages. employers know they're getting socially safe have i applicants and they can keep up to date with the industry where they want to get a foot in the door, even the potential to start interacting directly to make an impression. >> think about how you will present yourself online. if you reach sphond a tweet or become part of that network is to interact how you're entering that room. >> reporter: a twitter feed that shows interest and nags a twitter field can put a best foot forward. >> if you concentrate on putting a good brand on there that lay lines with your goals t

it is definitely not a reduction in general fund is that if twitter stays -- in general funds if twitter stays. we think many businesses will not grow or come to mid market if we do not do this legislation. there is projected growth. there is predicted payroll tax growth, a small one, and gains in property-tax. i will let ted address this. there is a potential loss of payroll tax we would get if they decided to stay here. it is a question of whether you believe businesses would come in without this. does that make sense? that is a hard question to answer. again, it is a temporary tax exclusion and hopefully we will be able to see the fruition of this work. president o'brien: i also liked the fact that it is not threatening anybody, regardless of its size. it is not going to knock somebody else trying to be in the same business out of there. that is something i should be -- i think should be noted for future possibilities. i actually think it should be considered elsewhere in the city. it was very interesting to see an article written by a small business owner that said, "while i do not s

and twitter and facebook there's definitely the fear that, you know, twitter is just a cover out for the governments and again, i'm simple identifying quite a bit but this is how some governments perceive, you know, american technology at this point. the second aspect here and this brings us back to the inherent contradictions in the internet freedom agenda and american law enforcement and intelligence gathering want the internet and they want to engineer it and its easier to listen in conversations and engage in surveillance and you got the director of fbi recently touring silicon valley asking the same silicon company that's supposed to promote internet freedom around the world to build back doors, you know, into the systems and so what you end up with is, you know, governments concerned about the fact that american technology may simply be unreliable and it may eventually lead to washington. and, you know, their conversations may actually be, you know, monetary. and so as a result, i think what is happening is that there is definitely an effort and i think it's a trend that i see

people at my kids' schools saying thank you for your vote on twitter. we could say that arguably there is a potential hit or not a hit to the general fund because of the exceptions we have made for twitter and for central market. i am afraid we make decisions like this and it erodes people's confidence in our business tax. there is a precedent that is set for other companies to come forward and want to get the same deal that people in center market, including twitter are getting. i think i have a caution. i will be voting against it again. i want to thank the people who stood with me and supervisor campos and supervisor mirkarimi with respect to this tax exemption. >> colleagues, any further discussion? for the final vote on this matter, roll call, please. >> on item 12, president chiu. >> aye. >> supervisor chu. >> aye. >> supervisor cohen. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> supervisor kim. >> aye. >> supervisor mar. >> aye. >> supervisor mirkarimi. >> no. >> aye. >> supervisor avalos. >> no. >> there are 8 ayes and 3 nos. >> this ordinance is finally passed.

facebook twitter and you tube and who knows your response just might make it on air. so it looks like the inevitable government shutdown might not be so inevitable after all according to house speaker john boehner and vice president joe biden a compromise has allegedly been reached to cut around thirty three billion dollars now of course we don't yet know what programs these cuts will be coming from but i guess the fact that our government can agree on a number is better than nothing but what will the g.o.p. leadership do about the angry tea partiers who came out to protest on capitol hill today and how long until we have to see this entire game played out yet again here in the south with me as a reporter for talking points memo dot com and apparently a member of the tories d.c. brat pack ryan thanks so much for being on the show tonight ok so maybe we are going to see a government shutdown and it's all kind of speculative at the moment but for starters we just what is wrong with our government is a really that dysfunctional that is needs to happen over and over again
