A commission was friends who were discussing was brutally murdered the amused when the me and france and friends of friends. And he was telling me he was telling this publicly that these type of action from the United States. And acceptable so maybe that we should talk more about that story which is you know supporting the overall Global Situation and you know will that be global that was this here we can see in store 9 and this is one of the reasons one of the key deals behind that is that you know you know little actions which are hitting the global trade. And in this particular case are you saying that russia does have lets put it this way friends in europe that can become in some way mediators or those who can send a message across the atlantic for them to a lot of measures were already by the way or european friends of the United States in the recent months so there is nothing to it so once again it is december 29th being and economic punishment against russia is back in the headl
Moment. Let me refrain the question. Is it ever permissible to go to a hair salon or your personal gym unrelated to that exemption for you or your family or to purchase gift cards in using a governmentissued debit card, purchase card, credit card . Not unless it has a government associated use, an approved use. And are the policies you look at epa explicit about that prohibition . They are not explicit about the prohibition. They are not . Right, that was part of our recommendation in the report is that they be more explicit about the issues of gym memberships and gift cards, that they need to improve controls there. Epa is in the process of improving their policies in that area, but they have not completed their policies in that area. That doesnt sound complicated.

Free enterprise is you end up sometimes with a few companies that are enormously successful, like apple or microsoft, samsung, they control too much of the market. We need government to decide what is fair and what should be the market share. You also have these inequities that i just talked about. And then you have those people for one reason or another, theyre good people and we need to help them out, not just abandon them. Years of their life . So hot, the market has changed but theyre good people . Not have a problem, government may be as those decisions, our a elected officials can decide and if we do not like what is done in say virginia we can go to senator warner for senator mccain and make our case because that is what democracy is all about. Use every one of those arguments in your lives. Some students lets ask, how many of you have over 100 tunes in your music system . How many of you have 500 or more .
