A nadie le debería sorprender que está pasando, al igual que el virus muestra lo frágil que es el engendro económico que tenemos, el asesinato perpetrado en USA es la gota que colma el vaso de la desigualdad. Podría haber sido otra cosa.

The pandemic has reversed a strengthening of the property market at the start of the year, as household income and business activity has been severely disrupted. The fall in May "surely is just the start of a protracted decline over the remainder of this year,” said Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. A survey run by Nationwide also signalled that consumer preferences might be shifting. A third of interviewees said they thought differently about their home as a result of the pandemic, valuing the importance of a garden and more space.House prices indices have been disrupted as a result of the few properties being sold during the pandemic. According to HMRC data, transactions were 53 per cent down in April compared with the same month last year. Activity in the property market has picked up since the reopening of May 13 and Nationwide said the results were robust.

New EU budget to nudge farmers towards green and digital agriculture, says commissionerBut critics say proposed budget does not meet ambitions and new strategies are needed to increase biodiversity and boost greener farming - without reducing yieldsEU budget commissioner Johannes Hahn went to the parliament on Tuesday to reassure MEPs that the shift in focus of the agriculture policy is needed if member states want to become more resilient to future crises.“We must use the firepower of the next [EU budget] and the next generation recovery instrument to make sure that green becomes a viable business model for all our farmers”, said Hahn. “It is very difficult to become green when the figures on the bottom line are red.”According to Hahn, if passed in the current form, the agriculture budget would “beef up our crisis management in agriculture”, help member states invest in “next-generation farming” and make farms “green, digital and resilient”.However, Farm Europe warns that, in their current form, the biodiversity and farm to fork strategies would result in a “sharp decline” and a 15 per cent drop in agricultural production.
Next Generation EU is a Step Towards Fiscal UnionWith Next Generation EU, the new 750 billion euro emergency recovery instrument proposed by the European Commission, the European common economic policies are shifting gear and moving decisively into the domain of fiscal union.The first aspect foreshadowing fiscal union is common borrowing by the Commission through the European budget for the entire amount of the funds mobilized to meet the health crisis. To do so, the own resource ceiling of the EU budget will be (almost) doubled to 2 % of the area gross national income (GNI), and the margin thus created over budgetary appropriations for spending (just short of 1 % of GNI yearly) will be used to guaranty the new loans; the guaranty will be undertaken by the member states pro-quota (each one will guaranty a share equivalent to its share in EU GNI). Loan repayment will start “no earlier than 2027” and be completed “no later than 2058”; as a consequence the guaranty and the increase in the own resource ceiling will stand beyond the duration of the next multi-year financial framework (MFF), thus becoming a quasi-permanent feature of the EU budget.The second aspect foreshadowing fiscal union is that repayment will fall upon the EU budget and – according to the Commission proposal, yet to be approved by the European Council – will also entail the establishment of new “own” sources of revenues, that is new taxes accruing directly to the EU budget. The Commission proposal mentions, among the possibilities being considered, a digital tax, a carbon tax, a border carbon adjustment levy, and a tax on large businesses. Each of these taxes is highly controversial among the member states due to their different economic structures and policy preferences; the agreement will entail a fresh jump in European integration of fiscal policies which so far has eluded the European Council. I find surprising that the Commission list does not include the simpler alternative of devoting to the EU a share of the VAT, which already is a common European tax, assisted by common rules and collection infrastructure.An aspect that has been somewhat blurred in the public debate is that, since the loans will be repaid through the EU budget, and therefore ultimately by the member states, the eventual balance of net benefits must be assessed also taking into account net repayment obligations. Since the latter are roughly proportional to GNI shares, net benefits will depend on how far the allocation of funds will deviate from GNI shares, giving preference to the countries most hit by the health crisis. An implication of this proposition is that the distinction between loans and grants in the form of disbursement to the member states will matter less than apparently perceived in the public debate, since both loans and grants will be repaid according to the GNI key. Of course, disbursing a high share of the money in the form of grants has a high political value, that cannot be overlooked; however, the fact that no repayment is due for the duration of the next MFF and that the loans will have a very long duration represents a much more substantial economic benefit.The last aspect foreshadowing fiscal union is that the money will be disbursed according to the procedures of the European budget – thus entailing a need for the member states to agree not only on what the money will be used for, but to accept strong European surveillance over their economic policies. Indeed, the Commission makes clear, in its proposal, that money will be disbursed conditional on the respect of country-specific recommendations approved by the Council within the European Semester procedure. The fact that the policy recommendations will come together with substantial funds that may not otherwise be available, may make the member states more willing to comply.All in all, this is indeed strong stuff, a real jump in economic policy integration. It just remains to be seen how much will survive the negotiations within the European Council, which no doubt will be very tough. But the re-found agreement between France and Germany on the need to proceed together augurs well.

“The N.Y.P.D. and the mayor did not do their job last night,” Mr. Cuomo said. “It was rampant looting across the city last night that they did not stop.”“Look at the videos — it was a disgrace,” the governor said, adding that Mr. de Blasio “underestimates the scope of the problem” in controlling the nightly protests that have been marred by looting and violent outbursts from participants and police officers alike.Mr. Cuomo said the state police and 13,000 members of the National Guard were on standby. But Mr. de Blasio has said he opposes bringing in the National Guard, as President Trump has encouraged.“We do not need nor do we think it’s wise for the National Guard to be in New York City,” Mr. de Blasio said at his daily briefing on Tuesday, calling it unwise to bring “outside armed forces into a situation they are not trained for.”
Terence A. Monahan, the Police Department’s chief of department and the city’s highest-ranking uniformed officer, took a knee and locked arms with protesters outside Washington Square Park on Monday as another night of protests began in earnest.
A review of booking records available to The Times shows 575 people have been arrested between Friday and Tuesday on suspicion of crimes likely related to violence during the protests — including looting, robbery, vandalism, burglary and attacking police. Those booking records do not show those taken into custody for failing to disperse, curfew violations or other lesser offenses for which there is no bail schedule, meaning those persons would have been cited and released by police on the same day.The booking records seem to throw cold water on national speculation that outside agitators — either left-wing anarchists or white supremacists — have been driving the violence and looting in Los Angeles. Of the 575 people arrested for related crimes, 537 of them live in Los Angeles County, records show.
“That’s not gonna happen,” Lightfoot said Tuesday. “I will see him in court.”
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Monday that the looting “spread like a wildfire” and promised to deploy workers from the Department of Streets and Sanitation and other agencies to help assess damage and rebuild.
After looting the Walmart, Cook said about 75 cars drove to the Parks Mall, where a group broke into American Jewelry Exchange and took an undisclosed amount of jewelry. Police pursued the suspects on Interstate 20, where the suspects threw jewelry out the window and escaped.
A overnight change in crowd-control strategy helped bring a relatively quiet end to Miami’s sporadically violent weekend of protests over the latest in a nationwide string of deaths of black men at the hands of police — with some marchers Sunday even helping avert what might have been a second consecutive night of downtown looting, fires and violence.“We certainly improved and made adjustments,” said Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who said he met with organizers of the protests both days and passed along his cellphone number. “And the citizens helped tremendously Sunday at the CVS.”At that CVS, one group of protesters locked arms and chanted the name of George Floyd [...] to block another small group trying to break into the pharmacy. The only damage to the store was a partially shattered window. Small businesses did not escape totally unscathed, however, one bike shop on Northeast Second Avenue was broken into.
22:55 Tercera noche de visualización de la tele USAna... ahora mismo tengo la Fox...Estoy absolutamente alucinado de lo que estoy viendo; por un lado unos medios cargando todo el tema en el asunto racial, por el otro cargándolo en las algaradas y saqueos; unos y otros alimentando una hoguera con medias verdades, interpretaciones sesgadas cuando no directamente mentiras... es simplemente increíble lo aparentemente fácil que están teniendo los mass mierda USAnos el montar semejante sarao; y la cantidad de tarados que estoy viendo, oyendo y leyendo.Hoy pinta que hay manis por todo el país, habrá seguramente más toques de queda que ayer, y mucho me temo que van a tener una noche muy movida; algunas actuaciones policiales que he visto de estos días de protestas son simplemente lamentables, que poca profesionalidad de los agentes... y de los saqueos, por los cojones esto es espontáneo; aquí hay una cantidad de hijoputas moviendo ficha que asusta de verdad, teniendo en cuenta lo que son los USA y lo que tienen en el país.Iré actualizando este post según vea cosas interesantes...23:15 Ahora en Fox están haciendo una ronda con 6 comentaristas; me asusta como están simplificando los hechos; y más todavía lo fijados que están en el uso de la fuerza para cortar la situación sin ninguna estrategia: curfew curfew curfew y detain detain detain a "los violentos"... me veo viendo esto y "frotandome los ojos"... ¿Es realmente la gente tan estúpida? ¿Tan dispuesta a echar gasolina a la fogata? Es increible...Voy a empezar a hacer una ronda por los periodicos de las principales ciudades/areas metropolitanas de los USA, a ver que veo...
