The United States makes major policy decisions based on the day to day action in the stock market is it wrong when he puts his thumb on the scales of favor of the bulls . When i say that trump is the most stock market sensitive president in modern history, im talking about days like today where the dow jumped 372 points, s p surged 1. 48 and the nasdaq went 1. 95 all because the president delayed some key tariffs that were supposed to go into effect on september 1st instead, certain important items like laptops, like cell phones are now exempt until december 15th so at the very least, Many Companies have more time to adjust and maybe they never get hit at all if the chinese agree to make real concessions why did he do it i think President Trump soaw the market melting down yesterday.

Chief economist at u. S. Sentencing commission and ive had positions that are in a variety of different universes like wharton business school, university of chicago, stanford, yale. Im going to talk to a little bit about some of the misimpression that people have about guns and crime. Normally, im a very empirical guy. I would go and show you lots of graphs and stuff. A little bit stymied on that given the technical issue that we have here but there is still lots of issues we can go and talk about. So, just off the top of my head, a couple of claims we have frequently hear about, one is that background checks go and stop about 3. 5 million dangerous prohibited people from obtaining guns. Everybody wants to try to stop criminals or other people who might be dangerous from being able to go and get a hold of guns. Problem is that claims that are made simply are not correct.

Members of the public are asked to silent or turn off their cell phones. Public comment will be taking place after each item and speakers will have two minutes each. Before i call the first item, i want to take a moment to recognize that we have had, unfortunately, 18 fatalities found in San Francisco this year on the streets. This is heartbreaking. Considering last year we were on the right track, and at this time last year the number of fatalities was six. What we are seeing, three times as many this year. I have said this before, were not just talking about crosswalks and so forth. Vision zero is about the safety of people. Many of our people are not safe, at this point, especially seeing a High Percentage of grandmothers being killed on our streets, and children and young people. This is not just a crisis in San Francisco.
