Para redondear el buen rollito, un miembro de la camara de los Lores del partido protestante de Irlanda del Norte (de los unionistas del Ulster, donde hasta hace poco cantaban el God Save the Queen cuando cerraban los pubs, tal cual) se refirió a Kamala Harris como 'La india'
El Consejo Económico y Social de Canarias ha dado luz verde a la llamada estrategia autonómica de economía azul con el objetivo de concluir su lanzamiento antes de terminar 2020. El documento, al que ha tenido acceso El Economista, sentencia que la extracción de telurio, uranio y torio presenta potencialidades a desarrollar mediante regulación específica en las islas. De momento, el PSOE de Canarias se suma a saber qué se puede hacer con esos minerales de altas potencialidades para la economía española
En abril de 2017 se anunció el descubrimiento de un yacimiento submarino de telurio a 500 kilómetros al suroeste de Canarias, en concreto en el monte submarino de Tropic. Desde su descubrimiento el tema ha aparecido recurrentemente en los medios con desinformación y confusión.
Siguiendo con el post de Derby, de Biden y el Brexit, no se si habéis visto hace unos díás la respuesta de Biden en Pennsylvania a un periodista de la BBC: 'Mr Biden, a quick word with the BBC?', y contesta Biden: 'BBC? I am Irish' Sonriendo, pero no le da la entrevista. Aquí está el momentohttps://twitter.com/i/status/1325146584284323841A más a más, recordaréis que Obama había dicho durante el referendum de el Brexit que si UK se salía y quería un acuerdo comercial con EEUU se tendrían que poner al final de la cola, y que los EEUU preferían a UK en la UE. Boris Johnson, de aquellas alcalde de Londres dijo que el comentario de Obama era un desaire, simbolo de el disgusto ancestral al imperio británico de un presidente medio keniano. Esa perla Biden no la olvida.Para redondear el buen rollito, un miembro de la camara de los Lores del partido protestante de Irlanda del Norte (de los unionistas del Ulster, donde hasta hace poco cantaban el God Save the Queen cuando cerraban los pubs, tal cual) se refirió a Kamala Harris como 'La india'Biden ha dicho que si no se respeta el acuerdo de Viernes Santo de Irlanda del Norte no hay acuerdo comercial USA - UK. He estado oyendo a un senador (jovencisimo) americano hablando del acuerdo... el periodista pensó que el senador tendría una ligera idea del acuerdo de paz y de la ley de mercado interno de UK. El tipo se sabía cada detalle, exactamente lo que queríán y lo que no querían. Que ellos son garantes de ese tratado y eso significa que lo van a garantizar. Y explicó que es responsabilidad del presidente negociar y concluir acuerdos comerciales, que el congreso aprueba o rechaza. Si esto es una anglosfera actuando coordinada... yo no lo veo. Ahora mismo parece que Irlanda tiene mucha más influencia en USA que UK. Hay unos 30 o 40 millones de descendientes de irlandeses en USA. Y, como Biden, ejercen de ello.Un artículo realista de lo que nos queda por negociar en UK estas semanas.Boris Johnson has to stop playing games and agree a deal with EuropeSimon Jenkinshttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/09/boris-johnson-agree-deal-europe-joe-bidenBritain must accept whatever it is offered, it can’t afford not to. The EU is stronger, it has Biden on its side – and it’s rightThis week it’s for real, at last. The EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, is in London for the last time in earnest – a deal must be struck this week before UK and EU parliaments can start to ratify a trade and security deal. If Boris Johnson’s apparently helpless negotiator David Frost cannot shake on a deal, preparations for a hard border round Britain’s coast must proceed. The cost will be enormous. No sane person can think this a good idea.Just two bones of contention remain, on fishing quotas and regulatory alignment, the “level playing field”. Fishing cannot wait, as key European states would veto any deal without it. Britain must compromise. As for regulatory alignment, some supervision is unavoidable if two neighbouring countries wish to trade at all. The EU is in the right. It is also bigger and stronger and has less need to compromise, and appears to have the US president-elect, Joe Biden, on its side. The EU can replace most of its trade with Britain. Britain cannot do the reverse. There are no compensating trade deals with the rest of world. They are a fantasy.We are told Johnson has been playing poker, hanging tough, boasting and threatening. That is over. The serious prospect now is of “fish and alignment” being allowed further to devastate a British economy damaged more than any other in Europe by the pandemic. Leaving the European Union was a contentious political option, but leaving Europe’s single markets and customs unions was madness from the start. It was largely an extreme rhetorical gambit, brandished to help Johnson defeat his rivals for the Tory party leadership in the summer of 2019.Downing Street this week must throw stubbornness to the winds. Its City of London needs Europe. Its industry needs Europe. It tourism needs Europe. Johnson must climb down. The foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, and Johnson’s old rival Michael Gove must collaborate to make this happen. Frost and his team have to listen to Barnier, no ifs or buts, whatever it takes. As a sign of good intent, Johnson should withdraw the internal market bill, which is now before the House of Lords, since under no deal it would necessitate a hard border, smash the Good Friday agreement and incidentally enrage Biden, who has previously said peace in Northern Ireland can’t be a casualty of Brexit.Britain just now is as weakened by bad government as it has ever been. The shambles over Covid was preceded by a year of chaotic negotiations over Brexit during which the EU reasonably sought a working trade relationship with a recalcitrant offshore island. Britain postured and lectured and rejected compromise. At the weekend, Johnson was quoted as still saying “we just need to get them to do it” – or he will cut off Britain’s nose to spite its face come January. No, enough of these games. Britain must agree whatever deal the EU offers, so everyone can get back to business.
...Hoy se perfila en Estados Unidos una «Cuarta Guerra Civil» anglosajona, nuevamente por iniciativa de las élites puritanas. Esa continuidad se esconde bajo la transformación de esas élites que, incluso sin creer en Dios, conservan el mismo fanatismo. Son esas élites puritanas las que hoy se dedican a reescribir la historia del país.

¿Existe una 'generación tapón'?Su presencia en la empresa retrasa el ascenso de los miembros de otra generación.Nacieron entre 1943 y 1963. Vivieron la muerte de Franco, impulsaron la Transición y también la entrada de España en la UE y la eurozona. Si están jubilados, su pensión es mucho más elevada que la de sus predecesores, y si todavía trabajan, su salario está por encima del promedio pese a las consecuencias de la crisis de 2008. Con estos atributos, el ensayista Josep Sala i Cullell (1978) describe a la Generación T, una expresión que da título a un libro que publica el sello en catalán Ara Llibres.En la obra, el autor considera que su franja de edad ha quedado "atrapada" entre una generación anterior -que llegó muy joven a puestos de responsabilidad y que pretende seguir ostentándolos- y su sucesora. Los millennials ocupan ya puestos de relevancia en la empresa y también pide paso a escala política. Así lo demuestran figuras como las primeras ministras de Finlandia -Sanna Marin, 1985- y Nueva Zelanda, Jacinda Laurell (1980). A ambas, podría sumarse el presidente francés, Emmanuel Macron (1977).El escritor distingue entre varias generaciones. La generación T agrupa a los nacidos entre 1943 y 1963, y les denomina por las iniciales de dos palabras: la Transición que hicieron posible, y el "tapón" que representan en la actualidad. Luego se suman la generación X (1964-1981), la Y o millennial (1982-1996) y los zeta (1997-2015). Sala considera que el análisis por franjas de edad "es muy habitual en el mundo anglosajón", pero no en España.Según Sala, la generación T empezó muy joven a ostentar puestos de responsabilidad. En su opinión, ha ocupado el liderazgo demasiado tiempo, y critica su legado. "Siguen diciendo que su legado fue fantástico pero yo no estoy de acuerdo: por primera vez, la generación más pobre no es la de los abuelos, sino la de los menores de 30 años", asegura. "Cuando los nacidos entre los años 40 y 50 han empezado a dejar los cargos, los de los 60 y los 70 nos encontramos con la energía agotada, el pelo canoso y demasiadas hipotecas vitales", escribe Sala. De este factor culpa a sus predecesores, pero también a que sus coetáneos no han sabido aportar "ideas nuevas". Prueba de su poca relevancia es la edad de los candidatos que se han disputado las recientes elecciones estadounidenses: el ganador, Joe Biden (1942), y el todavía presidente, Donald Trump (1946)..(...)

London Office Landlord Warns City’s Rents Have Further to FallLondon office landlords should brace for even more damage to their bottom lines. Great Portland Estates Plc, which owns offices throughout central London, said the worse than expected impact of the pandemic means rents across its properties will likely drop by as much as 10% this year.
EU banks urged to prepare for bad loans as pandemic hits economyHead of body responsible for winding down failing lenders issues warningEuropean banks need to prepare their balance sheets for the risk of pandemic-induced non-performing loans hitting them in the new year, the head of the EU agency tasked with winding down failing lenders has said. Elke König, chair of the Single Resolution Board, rejected suggestions from the European Central Bank that the EU needs to set up a network of “bad banks” to handle higher non-performing loans (NPLs), but she warned banks needed to do intensive work to sort out viable loans from unviable ones. In an interview with the Financial Times she also urged the EU to properly harmonise its state aid rules for handling embattled banks with its “resolution” regime, which intervenes to ward off systemic financial crises. Ms König argued that as things stand there was a “misalignment” in the system. The SRB was set up following the eurozone sovereign debt crisis to wind down stricken banks while securing financial stability and consistent treatment of the region’s lenders. But with regulators now weighing the risks of a surge in NPLs, the agency is still working with an incomplete system of EU bank-crisis rules which must operate over a patchwork of different national arrangements. Last month, the ECB’s top bank supervisor Andrea Enria wrote in the FT that, in a “severe but plausible” scenario, non-performing loans at eurozone banks could reach €1.4tn, well above the levels of the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing EU sovereign debt crisis.Ms König said it was too soon to know how bad the situation with NPLs would get, because this would depend on the nature of the downturn and recovery. Current actions by governments, such as state guarantee schemes, were “shielding” the lenders, she added. But she said that non-performing loans could start coming through in the first and second quarters of next year. In light of this, her message to banks was “be aware NPLs are coming and the best thing to do is address them early . . . That is the best thing we can do for the time being, and then it is steering through the fog.” The European Commission will next month set out its own proposals for handling what Valdis Dombrovskis, executive vice-president overseeing economic policy, has said will be a “likely rise” in NPLs. These include further developing secondary markets in which NPLs are bought and sold, and reforms to insolvency and debt-recovery frameworks. The ECB’s Mr Enria has separately advocated the creation of either a European “asset management company”, or a network of them, to take on NPLs. Ms König said that she was cautioning against this idea, and that banks doing their “homework” was the easier way forward. “The entire debate . . . always lacks one component: who is footing the bill,” she said. Ms König added that “it feels sometimes as if this is the magic system,” one where losses are supposed to evaporate, something “that is not going to happen”.Banks need to “get the full transparency” of these portfolios, she said. “They need to be able to separate a portfolio and to set out how they would like to service it, what would be their idea, how would they deal with it.”She added that in the current crisis there was still a market for bad real estate and corporate loans. When it comes to loans to small and medium-sized enterprises and retail customers, these are traditionally “professionally managed by a bank as an ongoing relationship”.Ms König underlined the extensive work that has been done since the dark days of the eurozone crisis to strengthen the resilience of banks, and to ensure that they can be safely wound down if they fail. This work has included making sure money can be raised by wiping out bank bondholders, so shielding taxpayers from footing the bill.She noted that one of the tools available to her agency was an “asset separation” power to strip bad loans out of broken banks’ balance sheets.But she emphasised that the EU system for handling failing banks was still a work in progress. One step she has called for is the creation of a “pre-liquidation tool” allowing her agency to intervene earlier in a crisis to save the good part of a bank, preventing needless destruction of value.The SRB and the broader system it oversees has been fully up and running since 2016, and in that time has handled one bank failure: Spain’s Banco Popular.One ongoing problem, she said, was that the conditions attached to banks put through national insolvency proceedings differed from those attached to interventions by her agency. This issue flared up in 2017 when two regional Italian banks received state aid as part of bankruptcy proceedings while their senior creditors were shielded from losses.This prompted complaints at the time from Berlin and some other capitals that the measures amounted to a loophole allowing nervous governments to get around the principle adopted by the EU in the wake of the financial crisis that investors, including senior creditors, should face losses before the taxpayer.The European Commission is set to review the bank resolution system next year.
Surge in European house prices stokes concerns over market resilienceFinanciers worry that fallout from pandemic will catch up with soaring valuationsThe housing market acts as the canary in a coal mine — prices tend to fall as a wider economic downturn looms. But this year, with a deep global recession caused by the coronavirus pandemic, property valuations have kept on rising in many countries.House price growth has accelerated to an annual pace of almost 4 per cent among the OECD club of rich countries this year, with even faster rises in Europe and the US.Some financiers, however, wonder if it is only a question of time before the economic fallout from the pandemic catches up with Europe’s soaring housing market, especially after many countries reimposed lockdowns to combat a fresh wave of infections.“The pandemic is not good news or helpful in any way for the housing market,” said Matthias Holzhey, a UBS economist and co-author of its annual global real estate bubble index, which compares house prices in 25 of the world’s biggest cities.“It is clear that the economic recovery is still not happening, wealth is down, and rents are falling in most cities, so your alternative to buying a house is getting cheaper,” said Mr Holzhey. “The fundamentals just do not point to an ongoing housing boom.”Yet all the signs are that this is exactly what is happening. While the world suffered its deepest postwar recession between the first and second quarters, house prices in the richest countries not only kept rising but accelerated, according to OECD figures. Data is more patchy for the third quarter, but it mostly points to further increases.Underpinning the resilience of housing markets are the vast stimulus packages from governments and central banks that have supported struggling companies, allowed many workers to keep earning and — crucially — kept borrowing costs near record lows.In the US, falling mortgage rates and higher state benefits combined to shield the housing market from the pandemic as prices rose by an annual rate of almost 5 per cent in the second quarter.There were even sharper price rises in much of Europe, notably Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Poland. Prices in Russia have soared 15 per cent, fuelled by state subsidies. As housing costs keep climbing, the pandemic is prompting some people to abandon expensive city locations in search of more space. In the UK, prices of detached houses rose at double the rate of apartments between March and September, according to Halifax. In France, Grégoire Kiss, a 42-year-old IT manager, and his wife Blandine recently left the rented Paris apartment where they lived with their two children to buy a farmhouse on the Normandy coast. “For us the trigger came when we exited lockdown,” said Mr Kiss. “One of the positive effects of this crisis has been employers making working from home easier.”Such newly mobile workers leaving Paris may have contributed to a rare monthly drop in house prices in the city, which fell 0.5 per cent in September, though they are still up more than 2 per cent this year, having risen over a third in five years, according to research by Meilleurs Agents.“We noticed the rush in the early days of the lockdown, as 20 per cent of Parisians went to work remotely in the countryside,” said Pierre Madec, economist at the OFCE think-tank in Paris. “That begs the question: are we ready to lose 20 per cent of Paris’s population?”Soaring property prices are also causing concern in Germany, where the central bank said in a recent report that apartments in the country’s biggest cities were 30 per cent overvalued compared with the long-term ratio of prices to rents — although it added that this reflected rising land prices rather than any “destabilising, speculative demand motives”.The volume of land sold each year in larger cities has fallen by a third since 2012 while prices have more than doubled, according to the German construction industry association. The number of new apartments built in the country last year rose 2 per cent to 293,000 — but that remained below the 400,000 a year needed to meet demand.Eyebrows were raised in Munich by last month’s €8m sale of a 300 sq m apartment, which set a new record for the city. The share prices of German property developers Deutsche Wohnen and Vonovia both recently hit new 12-year highs.With Germans agreeing 10-year mortgages at rates as low as 0.6 per cent and some banks offering to lend 100 per cent of the purchase price, it is easy to understand what is fuelling the market. “We don’t expect the German housing market to come down any time soon,” said Jochen Möbert, a real estate analyst at Deutsche Bank. “Yes, there are risks ahead. But we are seeing an influx of capital as investment funds reallocate money from financial markets to the housing market.”Pernille Henneberg, economist at Citigroup, said in a recent report that a “lack of appetite for lending or tighter credit standards, due to worries about borrowers’ creditworthiness, may challenge the degree to which the monetary easing affects the real economy”.Similar concerns are regularly expressed by Andrea Enria, ECB head of supervision, who this week repeated his warning that the pandemic could leave eurozone lenders with an extra €1.4tn of bad loans — well above the levels of the region’s 2012 debt crisis.If this worst-case scenario happens, analysts predict it could trigger a sudden tightening of the ultra-loose mortgage market, dragging down house prices. “The eurozone is the biggest risk area,” said Mr Holzhey at UBS, adding that he was telling clients “it is time to sell out of property”.

https://go.ivoox.com/rf/60057638Este es un podcast de Bret Weinstein, un tipo al que considero una voz ponderada e independiente en EEUU, fue profesor de biología evolutiva en Evergreen y después de una situación bastante fea en su aula con estudiantes woke tuvo que abandonar su puesto. Para nada un red-pilled. Se podría considerar un classic liberal siguiendo los parámetros americanos. Si tienen un tiempo les recomiendo que escuchen su postura. Si tienen un poco más de tiempo, les recomiendo la entrevista que tiene con Joe Rogan o cualquier otro en el que hable de la situación en Portland o el estudio que tiene sobre las ratas de laboratorio y los telómeros. En general, lo que este hombre o su hermano piensan, merece la pena oírlos. https://twitter.com/BretWeinstein/status/1326221069426982913?s=19"It is not clear their was substantial fraud in the 2020 U.S. election, but it is clear there is valid reason for concern.
