Swiss government lines up behind EU's 11th round of sanctions against Russia


Switzerland’s government has lined up with the European Union’s 11th round of sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine

GENEVA -- Switzerland's government has lined up with the European Union's 11th round of sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine.

The Swiss executive branch decided Wednesday that the new measures adopted by the European bloc on June 23 would take effect later in the day in the Alpine country.

Switzerland, which is not a member of the 27-country bloc, is a key EU trading partner and has followed every set of its sanctions against Russian companies and individuals since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine in February last year.

The 11th round of EU sanctions aims to close loopholes so that goods vital to Putin’s war effort don’t get through to Russia by way of countries that trade with the EU and have maintained a business-as-usual relationship with Moscow.

The multiple rounds of sanctions have affected banks, companies and markets, and even parts of the sensitive energy sector. More than 1,000 officials are subject to asset freezes and travel bans.

Switzerland on June 28 implemented sanctions on more than 100 other companies and people after the EU's move days earlier and will adopt the rest of the 11th-round sanctions “that are relevant to Switzerland” on Wednesday, the government said.

The Swiss measure will ban exports of some “dual-use goods” — with possible civilian and military uses — to another 87 companies, and some types of electronic components and precursors to chemical weapons will also be affected, the government said.

“In the financial sector, the existing ban on selling securities denominated in Swiss francs or in an official currency of an EU member state to Russian nationals and entities was expanded,” it said. “The sale of securities to Russian citizens and entities is now prohibited, regardless of the currency.”

['Scum', además de escoria humana, es el juego de palabras del título del manifiesto fundacional del anarco-feminismo, escrito por Valerie Solanas, 'Society for Cutting Up Men', en el que, después de un par de párrafos introductorios, se lee:
 
— «The male is completely egocentric, trapped inside himself, incapable of empathizing or identifying with others, of love, friendship, affection or tenderness. He is a completely isolated unit, incapable of rapport with anyone. His responses are entirely visceral, not cerebral; his intelligence is a mere tool in the service of his drives and needs; he is incapable of mental passion, mental interaction; he can’t relate to anything other than his own physical sensations. He is a half dead, unresponsive lump, incapable of giving or receiving pleasure or happiness; consequently, he is at best an utter bore, an inoffensive blob, since only those capable of absorption in others can be charming. He is trapped in a twilight zone halfway between humans and apes, and is far worse off than the apes because, unlike the apes, he is capable of a large array of negative feelings—hate, jealousy, contempt, disgust, guilt, shame, doubt—and, moreover he is aware of what he is and isn’t.»

Habría que entender este escrito como una performance artística,...

... si no fuera porque, a los pocos meses Valerie Solanas disparó con un revolver calibre 22 contra Warhol,...

... el cual, años más tarde, utilizaría esa arma de fuego como tema en una famosa serie de su obra; algo de ello pudimos verlo en Madrid, en la galería de Fernando Vijande, con el propio Warhol presente (no se vendió nada y la galería tuvo que comprarlo todo). La feminazi pasó por la cárcel. Y la declararon esquizofrénica. Todos, todas y 'todes' la abandonaron y murió como genuina 'scum'.

Los concon (contestarios conservadores) son siniestros anarco-capitalistas, también con personalidad dividida, mitad antisistema capitalista, mitad promodelo popularcapitalista. Empezaron a morir en todo el mundo el día que Trump fue echado de la presidencia de EEUU. ¡Que les den! Solo hacen daño. Iván Espi ha hecho muy bien dando el portazo, harto de hacer de constestatario.]

Ana Obregón también estuvo allí , incluso se sentó sobre los muslos de warhol.

Que sepa q imagino a Ana Obregón en sus tiernos 20 sentada también sobre sus muslos , maestro.

Housing market has hit ‘rock bottom,’ says Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman

This is turning out to be a long, cool summer — at least where the housing market is concerned

For the real-estate sector, 2023 is turning out to be the summer when it all came to a halt.

Mortgage rates have stayed around the 7% range over the last few days, making it more expensive to buy a home for many aspiring homeowners. Even if buyers come to terms with high rates, home listings have been scarce, as homeowners hold out on listing and selling their homes.

So how would one describe the housing market this summer? “Rock bottom,” Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin RDFN, -7.59%, a real-estate brokerage, told MarketWatch on an episode of Barron’s Live.

“Sales volume couldn’t be worse. The only people moving right now are the ones who absolutely have to,” Kelman added.

Sales of previously owned homes fell by 3.3% to an annual rate of 4.16 million in June, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. July data will be released next week.

Even though some buyers are finding good deals, they are purchasing homes at high interests rates, all while home prices have remained relatively steady, Kelman added. “Part of the problem is that there hasn’t really been a break in affordability, and homebuyers really need to catch a break right now,” he added.

As Bill McBride, author of the economics blog Calculated Risk, puts it, with the 30-year fixed interest rate at 7.24%, a $500,000 home with 20% down would equate to a rough monthly payment of $2,700.

If a home purchaser had bought that half-million-dollar property in August 2022 at 5.25%, the monthly payment would be around $2,208.

But if they had bought in August 2021, amid the pandemic, the monthly payment on the $500,000 home with a 30-year mortgage rate of 2.99% — with 20% down —would have been $1,706.

Rising cost of owning a home causing a generational shift

The surge in the cost of owning a home — widely regarded as a key part of the “American dream” — is causing a generational shift, Kelman said.

In the past, when people sought to live on their own, move out of their parents’ place, or transition from living with a roommate to living on their own, they tended to move towards places that had cheaper options.

“People could go across the country. So if a home was too expensive in [Los Angeles], they would be able to buy a $300,000 home in Oklahoma City,” Kelman said. “And now that trend is reversed. Apartments are expensive and houses are expensive. So I think household formation is going to be low.”

“It’s sort of an arrested-development problem,” he added.

Baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, who came of home-buying age in 1991, owned considerably more real estate in their 30s than people in their 30s in 2023. In the first quarter of 1993, those under 40 owned 20.6% of real-estate, according to the Federal Reserve. In the first quarter of this year, those under 40 only owned 14.2%.

Kelman noted the shift in wealth over generations. Younger generations “just haven’t been able to get the leverage to buy a home and home prices have been out of reach,” he added.

That could also push society to defer the American dream of homeownership, as renters stay put for longer before accumulating enough wealth to purchase a home.

“All the money is owned by old people in America and that transfer of wealth that normally happens when people are able to get a piece of the American dream just hasn’t been happening over the past few years,” Kelman stated,

Butler County property value median increase is 37%

Butler County Auditor Nancy Nix’s office is working with all the county tax bodies to figure out how they can work together to give property taxpayers a break in light of a median 37% value hike ordered by the Ohio tax commissioner.

Nix has received the final property value increases from the state and the median residential value hike countywide is 37%, a drop from the original 42% increase order but still a horrendous hit for many taxpayers, especially on fixed incomes.(...)

Los barrios de Madrid con más renta reciben más dinero para limpieza en el reparto municipal de fondos
La partida de presupuesto para las zonas meridionales es menor que para los sectores del norte a pesar de que cuadruplican su tamaño y, en algunos casos, suman más habitantes
Llevan años así. El dinero para la limpieza que se destina por parte del Ayuntamiento de Madrid va fraccionado en lotes que agrupan distritos. Y en ese desglose se observan algunas diferencias. Así, el lote que agrupa a Puente de Vallecas, junto a Vicálvaro, Moratalaz y Villa de Vallecas es el que menos recibe: algo más de 242 millones de euros. Son 41 millones menos que el lote destinado a Barrio Salamanca, Retiro, Chamartín y Arganzuela. La diferencia entre un paquete y otro no está solamente en la renta de sus habitantes, sino también en la superficie a limpiar, cuatro veces más grande en el que tiene menos presupuesto.

También podríamos pensar que los pobres ensucian más, o que trae más beneficios para la ciudad por el turismo... Razonamientos todos más alambicados que caber por el ojo de una aguja...
En todo caso es una buena muestra de cómo se mantienen las cotización estratosféricas con ayudas públicas.
