No I didn't. You must've misinterpreted something I wrote. I said from the time that the Trump/Kim meeting was scheduled that the only thing that had happened is that Trump had given a North Korean leader something, a meeting with the US President, that North Korean leaders had wanted for decades and couldn't get because previous Presidents wouldn't give it to them.

And the meeting yielded no specific commitments. It yielded less than several meetings/negotiations with the North Koreans appeared to have yielded. I say "appeared" because the North Koreans then reneged. The idea that it was clear Trump had accomplished something by virtue of that meeting is absurd.

Now, if something really does happen and the North Koreans give up all their nuclear weapons we can say that something was accomplished. But now we hear that our intelligence agencies see indications that the North Koreans were playing games as they've done in the past.

JSO I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it is doubtful that anyone would misinterpret anything you have written

I assure all of you: If anybody interpreted anything I wrote to indicate I think Trump accomplished something positive with the meeting with Kim Jong-un they misinterpreted what I wrote. At this point the only thing I think he accomplished is giving the North Koreans something they wanted for decades and couldn't get.

What's funny is that there are complaints about the number of women in top corporate positions. But let's leapfrog them into the roles of Board members without the working experience.

California Supreme Court ruling could shutter hundreds of businesses...
Some small businesses are scrambling to figure out how to stay afloat after a high court ruling.

A recent California Supreme Court decision is changing the way independent contractors are classified, and it’s already having a big impact on local shops. May fear it will hurt millions of workers and affect businesses’ bottom lines.
https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2018/09 ... eme-court/

Barber Shops, hairdressers, tattoo shops, various instructors and even FedEx delivery people are among the many people who will be impacted by this ruling.
So, basically, a barber can no longer work in a barbershop as an independent contractor, where they typically set their own hours and pay. Instead, they’ll now have to become employees of the business on an official payroll.

“Which is insane for a small business, like this. We can’t afford to have a bunch of employees. What are you going to pay them you know, minimum wage?” said Victory Ink Tattoo owner Ristina Rodriguez.

Within five years, California kids will likely have to report their allowances as taxable income. Or maybe they already have to. I haven't been following closely. :lol:
