Dustin Washburne week 1 Conversation Pieces



The first idea or “project  really enjoyed was the bus drivers putting their backgrounds aside to transport their users.

Q3:  I had trouble with the sentence on page 13, paragraph two, why is it that “capitalist commodities, have to be portrayed nonconstructive”?

But the main issue is that the focus is uneven and falls heavily on the side of sending it to the south instead of distributing it evenly so farmers in all regions but mainly central and southern california have the proper amount of water to grow their crops. California is one of the leading states in the production and exporting of agriculture products due to our vast and wide scale of geological environments, but ...
