What Small SF is About to Crash and Burn?

and at that time it was expected that

“remaining partners will be laying off most of the staff.”

Other accounts are 49ers, and Monterey Bay Aquarium. Thats it. Dont see how they will be open past September.”

But still, you gotta give it to Obama, he does have a point and a very strong way to say it. I’m just not sure he’ll be able to live up to his equality speech. Hard job ahead.

Whatever the outcome, the US is going through some very very interesting times.

The world is watching.
