Destrucción masiva de pequeños negocios en España: una media de 192 cierres al día en junio
Pilar García de la Granja · 2025.07.02
- La Unión de Profesionales y Trabajadores Autónomos (UPTA) ha alertado del cierre de miles de pequeños negocios al mes.
- El pluriempleo en España afecta a casi 600.000 trabajadores. Está al alza en parte por la pérdida de poder adquisitivo de los trabajadores y las dificultades económicas para llegar a fin de mes.

La subida del SMI y los impuestos de forma extraordinaria en España está acabando con las pymes en nuestro país. Y lo peor, no hay posibilidad de relevo generacional porque los mensajes que se mandan desde la Administración tienen un componente de derechos y no obligaciones que aleja a los jóvenes de estos puestos de trabajo. Ante este panorama, el sindicato Unión de Profesionales Autónomos (UPTA) ha alertado de la dura realidad que viven en España cientos de pymes, pequeños negocios y comercios, desapareciendo a un ritmo de 192 al día durante el mes de junio.
La situación, a juicio de los expertos es doblemente preocupante, porque los pequeños negocios de barrio en las ciudades cohesionan a los vecinos, mientras que en la España rural son un pilar fundamental de arraigo de la población. “Sin pequeños comercios en los pueblos, al final los jóvenes se van” asegura Francis, dueña junto con su marido de un restaurante en Lerma (Burgos). “Es más, no encontramos trabajadores para el restaurante y nosotros ya nos hemos planteado abrir menos días a la semana, pero con un negocio tan reducido es imposible pagar las facturas o tenemos que poner precios de restaurantes caros de Madrid”, afirma.
La clase media trabajadora, menguante
La realidad es que en España en los últimos cinco años se está reduciendo a pasos agigantados la clase media-trabajadora, cuyos salarios (pese a subir) no son suficientes para mantener el ritmo de vida pre-pandemia. La cesta de la compra y la subida de los suministros ha sido muy superior y la presión de las cuotas sociales tanto de asalariados como de los autónomos hacen imposible progresar económicamente.
En España, según el sindicato USO, el pluriempleo es una realidad que oscila entre los 600.000 y los 800.000 empleados, es decir personas que necesitan al menos dos trabajos para llegar a fin de mes. El aumento del pluriempleo se ha atribuido en parte a la pérdida de poder adquisitivo de los trabajadores y a las dificultades económicas para llegar a fin de mes.
Aunque no es una solución ideal, algunas personas recurren al pluriempleo como forma de complementar sus ingresos. Es un 30% más que cuando Sánchez llegó al poder en el 2018 y se ha disparado un 60% en la década 2014-2024, según los datos de la EPA. Saludos.

Waymo Starts Robotaxi Testing In Philadelphia and NYC
Posted by BeauHD on Monday July 07, 2025 @07:30PM from the coming-to-a-city-near-you dept.
Waymo has launched new "road trips" to Philadelphia and New York City, "signaling the Alphabet-owned company's interest in expanding into Northeastern cities," reports TechCrunch. While these trips don't guarantee commercial launches, they follow a pattern that previously led to deployments in cities like Los Angeles. Other road trips this year are planned for Houston, Orlando, Las Vegas, San Diego, and San Antonio. From the report:
Typically, the trips involve sending a small fleet of human-driven vehicles equipped with Waymo's autonomous driving system to map out the new city. Then Waymo tests the vehicles autonomously, though still with a human behind the wheel, before taking any data and learnings back to its engineers to improve the AI driver's performance. In some cases, these road trips have led to commercial launches. In 2023, the company made a road trip to Santa Monica, a city in Los Angeles County. The company now operates a commercial service in Los Angeles, including Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood.
For its Philadelphia trip, Waymo plans to place vehicles in the most complex parts of the city, including downtown and freeways, according to a spokesperson. She noted folks will see Waymo vehicles driving "at all hours throughout various Philadelphia neighborhoods, from North Central to Eastwick, University City, and as far east as the Delaware River."
In NYC, Waymo will drive its cars manually in Manhattan just north of Central Park down to The Battery and parts of Downtown Brooklyn. The company will also map parts of Jersey City and Hoboken in New Jersey. Waymo applied last month for a permit to test its AVs in New York City with a human behind the wheel. The company has not yet received approval. Saludos.

Google DeepMind's Spinoff Company 'Very Close' to Human Trials for Its AI-Designed Drugs
Posted by EditorDavid on Monday July 07, 2025 @12:36AM from the AI-on-drugs dept.
Google DeepMind's chief business officer says Alphabet's drug-discovery company Isomorphic Labs "is preparing to launch human trials of AI-designed drugs," according to a report in Fortune, "pairing cutting-edge AI with pharma veterans to design medicines faster, cheaper, and more accurately."
"There are people sitting in our office in King's Cross, London, working, and collaborating with AI to design drugs for cancer," said Colin Murdoch [DeepMind's chief business officer and president of Isomorphic Labs]. "That's happening right now."
After years in development, Murdoch says human clinical trials for Isomorphic's AI-assisted drugs are finally in sight. "The next big milestone is actually going out to clinical trials, starting to put these things into human beings," he said. "We're staffing up now. We're getting very close."
The company, which was spun out of DeepMind in 2021, was born from one of DeepMind's most celebrated breakthroughs, AlphaFold, an AI system capable of predicting protein structures with a high level of accuracy. Interactions of AlphaFold progressed from being able to accurately predict individual protein structures to modeling how proteins interact with other molecules like DNA and drugs. These leaps made it far more useful for drug discovery, helping researchers design medicines faster and more precisely, turning the tool into a launchpad for a much larger ambition... In 2024, the same year it released AlphaFold 3, Isomorphic signed major research collaborations with pharma companies Novartis and Eli Lilly. A year later, in April 2025, Isomorphic Labs raised $600 million in its first-ever external funding round, led by Thrive Capital. The deals are part of Isomorphic's plan to build a "world-class drug design engine..."
Today, pharma companies often spend millions attempting to bring a single drug to market, sometimes with just a 10% chance of success once trials begin. Murdoch believes Isomorphic's tech could radically improve those odds. "We're trying to do all these things: speed them up, reduce the cost, but also really improve the chance that we can be successful," he says. He wants to harness AlphaFold's technology to get to a point where researchers have 100% conviction that the drugs they are developing are going to work in human trials. "One day we hope to be able to say — well, here's a disease, and then click a button and out pops the design for a drug to address that disease," Murdoch said. "All powered by these amazing AI tools." Saludos.
