| 0:00.0 | This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Batsow, a Joseph Sternberg who's in London. So I |
| 0:09.2 | hold him responsible for the disorder on the continent. Joe, there's a frozen transportation |
| 0:16.3 | system in Germany. I feel like the car 54 were are you? And in France, they're burning |
| 0:21.5 | city hall and board dough, I believe. I might have the wrong town, but in any event, there's |
| 0:26.5 | disorder for days. Driving this or a variety of complaints that cannot be helped by inflation. |
| 0:33.7 | So to regard this, I can't put Macron together with Schultz, it doesn't work ever. But |

| 1:36.3 | out process going on for a lot of that. And we're seeing some of the very visible manifestations |
| 1:41.9 | right now. Because these strikes are ongoing, it's impossible to say they'll be resolved. |
| 1:47.9 | But I do want to touch on the resolution of the strikes in London that you're familiar |
| 1:51.9 | with. We've been talking about it through the winter. You lead me on to understand there |
| 1:55.9 | are different complaints and some are still on the table. Some have been negotiated. But |
