holiday consumption season so how does this all going to play out the sense that we bring back richard wolfe professor of economics at the university of massachusetts amherst so professor in recent weeks we saw the balance of probabilities shift to the positive side and getting a phase one deal done but now after trump's speech we realize that nothing has changed risk is still on the table and you can't say a deal is close without offering any details on when or where it's going to be signed so in fact there's actually more risk now with it being so close to the holiday consumption season and the markets at near all time highs so quantify the risk for us and will the fed be there to support the markets and fact if failed. if one fails again. well i think you put your finger on it in terms of the risk actually getting larger it has been getting larger steadily across this whole event if you go back to the beginning trump promised that he would win the trade war and that it would be a short war it's turned out he hasn't won anything and the war keeps dragging on i think there in is the clue when mr trump do it does his bluster and his threats this is theater

so much on this flight. many of you are here today, including michael and not yet come the parent of some media, a universe of massachusetts amherstgraduate and a resident of sheffield massachusetts who was tragically killed on the ethiopian flight. the losses of the family and all the families suffered is absolutely inexcusable and we will remember that as we are moving forward in the drafting of legislation. we will do in the memory of your families. one thing is clear to make sure that safety is our top, top priority is to guarantee that every aviation safety measure is built into every plane and that it is never for sale. unfortunately, our current laws only prevent aircraft manufacturers from, like boeing from selling critical safety elements for an additional price. existing rules allow companies to charge extra for noncritical safety enhancing features, and boeing actually does charge more for those technologies. the 737 max involved in the indonesian and ethiopian crashes lacked two, two safety enhancing features, and angle of attack indicator, and i disagree like. both of these technologies would've helped the pilots reco
