Que hemos malcriado a nuestros hijos se lo compro, pero que los jóvenes no pueden tener más problemas mentales que los de más de 50...  anda que no!!
Precisamente los jóvenes son los que tienen que pasarse casi hasta los 30 estudiando, para tener trabajos de mierda hasta los 40... y vivir en casa de los padres hasta los 40.... en serio esto no provoca problemas mentales?

Lo siento, pero esto me saca de mis casillas. Es como pretender que todo el mundo sea pobre y malviva en la miseria para yo sentirme superior.. pero ojo!! policía!! que hay inseguridad en las calles!!

El señor Bernardos ya se asustará precisamente cuando no tenga policías suficientes. O cuando ya esté más "averiado" por la edad, y lo que le falten son médicos.

El cuento de malcriar a los jóvenes ya está muy visto. Algunos que ya peinamos canas ya hemos respondido a la generación de nuestros padres. Habremos tenido todos los caprichos de niños, los que ellos en los 50-60 no tuvieron, pero luego salvo excepciones no hemos tenido ni trabajos estables ni vivienda asequible. Que habremos tenido una infancia de lujo, sí, pero también una adultez bastante peor que la suya.

Por supuesto que no tener la vida hecha a los 40 tiene que dar problemas mentales. Hace tiempo a esas edades no es que tuvieses hijos, es que ya eran adolescentes y tenías fuerzas para domarlos.


Aunque es más fácil decirlo que hacerlo, yo intentaría que este payaso no nos amargue la vida. Es uno de los que se esconderá en la cueva hasta que pase la tormenta cuando el asunto del ladrillo se venga abajo. Recuerden a Eduardo Inda alias "Pantuflo", convirtió al Marca en un periódico más amarillo que un canario hasta que fue demasiado incluso para los accionistas y los lectores más acérrimos. Pasado un tiempo volvió afeitado y esparciendo sus bulos en otras áreas.

«Mayayo: 'es imposible que los precios del mercado inmobiliario se desplomen'

Aranjuez (Madrid), 13 jul (EFECOM).- El presidente de la Asociación Hipotecaria Española (AHE), Gregorio Mayayo, afirmó hoy que es "muy difícil, por no decir imposible" que se desplomen los precios del mercado inmobiliario, "porque no hay una alternativa en el mercado del alquiler".

Mayayo, que pronunció hoy una ponencia sobre "La reforma del mercado hipotecario" en los cursos de verano de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, dijo que "nadie con un mínimo de seriedad en este país ha dicho que exista una burbuja hipotecaria, comenzando por el Banco de España y por el Gobierno".

El presidente de la AHE calificó de "patidifusez" la posibilidad de que la supuesta " burbuja inmobiliaria " pueda explotar, pues si los precios bajasen, "los jóvenes que antes no podían comprar una vivienda ejercerían presión sobre la demanda, y los precios volverían a subir".

"Aquellos que desde 2001 han hablado de la burbuja inmobiliaria tienen que dar ahora explicaciones, pues mucha gente evitó comprar una vivienda temiendo que se produjera el supuesto desplome del 40 por ciento", añadió Mayayo.

Al ser consultado sobre la actuación del nuevo Ministerio de la Vivienda en este ámbito, Mayayo afirmó que "lo que está ocurriendo con los precios de la vivienda hubiera pasado con o sin el Ministerio, porque es un problema de la oferta y la demanda"».

Y por la ley-de-la-oferta-y-la-demanda, tambien conocida como por-mis-guevos-toreros ¿Las veremos cobrando 9000 euros, o 15000 euros? Si lo que saben hacer ellas, nadie más lo sabe hacer, y tienen a la demanda cogida de los guevos, no se a que esperan para "sacar" hasta la camisa a sus pacientes.

Y Si es así de fácil, pagar 5000 euros a las enfermeras y tenemos enfermeras ¿qué hacen las fuerzas vivas mallorquinas todo el día lloriqueando que no hay enfermeras en su pueblo y pidiendo el paquete-de-ayudas al gobierno?

Y ya puesto, cuando a las enfermeras de Mallorca cobren 5000 euros, ¿cuánto van a tardar las enfermeras extremeñas en pedir lo mismo, o acaso Mallorca tiene un color especial?

… otro de los aspectos que inquieta a los jóvenes es tener la sensación de que nunca podrán tener la calidad de vida de sus padres. Antes, un solo salario mantenía a una familia y daba para comprar casa y coche, e incluso para unas vacaciones en la playa. Ahora, aspirar a algo así se limita a unos cuantos afortunados.

Análisis de tendencias

Vivienda
1960–2000: Relación salario-precio mejoró (gracias a crédito y construcción masiva). 
2000–2025: Se dispara (+300%), especialmente en ciudades. 

Transporte
Coches más caros (tecnología + inflación), pero ahora competencia con eléctricos. 

Alimentos/servicios
Subida moderada hasta 2000, luego acelerada (especulación + energía). 

Salarios
Crecen hasta 2000, luego estancados (poder adquisitivo disminuye). 


Conclusiones clave
1960–1980: España pasó de la pobreza al desarrollo (pero con desigualdad). 
2000–2020: Burbuja inmobiliaria y crisis financiera marcan la economía. 
2025: Precios siguen al alza (escasez de vivienda + transición energética).

Spain and Rutte Locked in a Showdown on Eve of NATO Summit

By refusing to agree spending increases to appease US President Donald Trump, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez threatens to derail a NATO summit that Secretary General Mark Rutte needs to run smoothly for the sake of the military alliance’s future survival.

On the eve of the gathering in The Hague, things are going off the rails. European officials have expressed irritation at the spoiler role that Sanchez is playing when their number one task is to line up behind a pledge to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP. Rutte needs to keep Spain in line while preventing others like Slovakia from breaking ranks.

The NATO leaders are meeting against the backdrop of surging tensions in the Middle East. Iran on Monday fired missiles at a US airbase in Qatar, which said it intercepted the attack and there were no casualties. That followed the US bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran at the weekend. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is also well into its fourth year with Russian President Vladimir Putin continuing to make hardline demands for territory.

As host, and making his own debut in the top job, this is shaping up to be a worst-case scenario for the Dutch secretary general on his home soil. The risk is that Trump, who has already cottoned on to “notorious” Spain and has kept his trip short, sees the divisions spill out in the open and gets an excuse to walk out.

Rather than securing his iron-clad pledge to stand by the post-war alliance’s most sacrosanct principle of collective defense known as Article 5 (an attack on one is an attack on all), Spanish intransigence on spending may throw the optics into disarray.

“Spain thinks they can achieve those targets on a percentage of 2.1%” of gross domestic product, Rutte told reporters Monday. “NATO is absolutely convinced Spain will have to spend 3.5% to get there.”

On Monday, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico joined Spain in saying that his country now would also reserve a right to decide how fast and by how much it increases its defense budget. Slovakia can meet the alliance’s requirements without hiking spending to the 5% level, he said.

All member countries have signed off on ambitious new lists of weapons and troops — so-called capability targets — that each country needs to provide as part of its NATO commitment. The alliance has broken down the 5% goal to 3.5% spending on defense with an additional 1.5% dedicated to related investment.

“Each country will now regularly report what they are doing in terms of spending and reaching the targets,” Rutte said. “So we will see and anyway there will be a review in 2029.”

Spain has refused to sign up to the 5% target, while also assuring NATO that it will fulfill the capability requirements. It’s arguing that 2.1% of defense spending will be sufficient to achieve that.

Rutte has gone out of his way to accommodate Spain. The statement adopted at the summit will give Spain “flexibility” to “determine its own sovereign path for reaching the capability targets,” he told Sanchez in a letter on Sunday.

The question facing the NATO chief now is whether he can get all members to mute their objections by the time alliance members sit down for dinner on Tuesday hosted by King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands.

US urges China to dissuade Iran from closing Strait of Hormuz

WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday (Jun 22) called on China to encourage Iran to not shut down the Strait of Hormuz after Washington carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

Rubio's comments on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo" show came after Iran's Press TV reported that the Iranian parliament approved a measure to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which around 20 per cent of global oil and gas flows.

"I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil," said Rubio, who also serves as national security adviser.

"If they do that, it will be another terrible mistake. It's economic suicide for them if they do it. And we retain options to deal with that, but other countries should be looking at that as well. It would hurt other countries' economies a lot worse than ours."



Rubio said a move to close the strait would be a massive escalation that would merit a response from the US and others.

Asked for comment on Rubio's remarks, the Chinese embassy in Washington said the Persian Gulf and its adjacent waters were important for international trade in goods and energy.

"China calls upon the global community to intensify efforts to de-escalate conflicts and prevent regional turbulence from causing further disruptions to global economic development," embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said in a written statement.

U.S. officials said it "obliterated" Iran's main nuclear sites using 14 bunker-buster bombs, more than two dozen Tomahawk missiles and over 125 military aircraft. The strikes mark an escalation in the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict.

Tehran has vowed to defend itself. Rubio on Sunday warned against retaliation, saying such an action would be "the worst mistake they've ever made."

He added that the United States is prepared to talk with Iran.

Fed Chair Powell speaks on Capitol Hill this week with politics front and center

*Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell heads to Capitol Hill this week, with testimony to Congress kicking off Tuesday morning as Powell presents the Fed’s monetary policy report.

*Multiple White House officials have cranked up the heat on Powell to start lowering rates, and he’s now faced with two key Fed officials who have spoken out to say they could favor a cut in July.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell heads to Capitol Hill this week, facing increasing pressure both from outside and inside the central bank to start the push for lower interest rates.

Powell’s semiannual testimony to Congress kicks off Tuesday morning, as the central bank leader presents the Fed’s monetary policy report to the House Financial Services Committee. He then heads to the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday.

Generally, the congressionally mandated sessions allow the Fed chair to drop some basic comments about the state of the economy and monetary policy. Legislators then get a chance to ask questions, which occasionally can turn hostile but are rarely anything severe.

But the backdrop to this appearance is different: Not only President Donald Trump but also multiple White House officials have cranked up the heat on Powell to start lowering rates, and now he’s faced with two key Fed officials who have spoken out in recent days to say they likely will favor a cut as soon as July.

That combination of factors has Wall Street buzzing with the possibility that the normally politics-free Federal Open Market Committee is now seeing some of its protective cover erode.

“There’s some political influence starting to come into the FOMC,” Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at Allianz, said Monday on CNBC.

El-Erian’s comments came shortly after Fed Governor Michelle Bowman said during a speech in Prague that she could see a case for starting to ease policy next month so long as inflation data stays in line.

Coupled with similar remarks Friday on CNBC from Governor Christopher Waller, there would appear to be at least some pushback against Powell’s repeated statements last week that policy is well-positioned for a more patient approach as tariff impacts play out.

What’s more, Waller and Bowman both are Trump appointees dating from his first term in office, and both have been mentioned as potential candidates to succeed Powell next year.

“Now suddenly we’ve had two Republican-leaning governors who came out with this notion of July, and they’ve moved the market,” El-Erian said. “What I do know is that Jay Powell is going to have a lot of difficulty trying to get everybody unified on a message.”

Indeed, traders have upped the odds of a July cut to about 23%, and a much more definitive 82% behind a September move, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch gauge of futures pricing.

More immediately, Powell could have a contentious two days ahead of him as he tries to explain the Fed’s position in the face of what could be some antagonism on both side of the congressional aisle. Following Trump’s lead, Republicans are likely to quiz Powell on what the hold-up is for easier monetary policy, while liberal Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has been urging Powell to cut as well.

The trouble with Trump’s call

However, Trump’s desire for dramatic cuts — he has suggested at least 2 percentage points’ worth — are unlikely to materialize, either.

In his CNBC interview, Waller said he wants to “start slow” with cutting. At last week’s FOMC meeting, participants suggested that the end point, or terminal rate, for the fed funds rate would be around 3%, which is just 1.25 percentage points below the current level.

Beyond that, such dramatic moves could be counterproductive.

When the Fed cut by a full percentage point from September through December of last year, Treasury yields actually moved higher, almost in tandem with the reductions, as bond market investors priced in the potential for faster economic growth and higher inflation.

“The idea that the Fed does something and there’s immediate transmission and everything works exactly the way it’s supposed to work is just a myth,” said Jai Kedia, a research fellow at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. “You know, people way overvalue the Fed’s effect on the economy, especially in an immediate kind of manner.”

Nevertheless, the administration is demanding immediate action from Powell, notwithstanding that the chair is just one of 12 voters on the committee that sets interest rates.

Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, posted Monday on X that momentum is “building for Powell’s immediate resignation” — which Trump has not called for — adding that “it is clear that Powell’s political bias against our great President needs to be looked at.”

The Fed’s mission

Kedia, though, said the White House’s demand for dramatic action from the Fed is irresponsible.

For one, he said reducing federal borrowing costs isn’t the Fed’s job.

“The Fed’s mandate is actually to stabilize inflation and stabilize employment,” Kedia said. “We can debate whether it should have that mandate, or how successful it’s been in doing that, but if you put it in charge of the federal debt, you may as well kiss that mandate goodbye.”

Like El-Erian, Kedia does believe the Fed could start cutting rates, though market pricing favors September rather than July for the first move. FOMC members were split at last week’s meeting over the path and extent of cuts.

Kedia said that if Powell and the rest of the FOMC consider following a course that Trump is trying to push, it risks losing the economy as well as its reputation.

“Now I do think that the rates are slightly too high, but the reason to cut rates is basically if you’re following a monetary policy rule, or you’re looking at guidance from the macro economy, none of which will tell you that you have to reduce rates by as much as President Trump wants them to be reduced by,” he said. “A good economic case can be made that the Fed should cut rates, but that’s got nothing to do with the political aspect.”

Why Factories Are Having Trouble Filling Nearly 400,000 Open Jobs

For every 20 positions, there’s one qualified candidate, says one manufacturing chief executive. Some of President Trump’s policies are likely to exacerbate the problem.

President Trump’s pledge to revive American manufacturing is running into the stubborn obstacle of demographic reality.

The pool of blue-collar workers who are able and willing to perform tasks on a factory floor in the United States is shrinking. As baby boomers retire, few young people are lining up to take their place. About 400,000 manufacturing jobs are currently unfilled, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics — a shortfall that will surely grow if companies are forced to rely less on manufacturing overseas and build more factories in the United States, experts say.

Difficulty attracting and retaining a quality work force has been consistently cited as a “top primary challenge” by American manufacturers since 2017, said Victoria Bloom, the chief economist at the National Association of Manufacturers, which produces a quarterly survey. Only recently has the issue slipped down on the list of challenges, superseded by trade-related uncertainty due to the Trump administration’s tariffs and by increased raw material costs, Ms. Bloom said.

But the scarcity of skilled blue-collar workers remains a long-term problem, according to Ron Hetrick, an economist with Lightcast, a company that provides labor data to universities and industry.

“We spent three generations telling everybody that if they didn’t go to college, they are a loser,” he said. “Now we are paying for it. We still need people to use their hands.”

The hiring challenges faced by American factories are multifaceted.

The president’s crackdown on immigration, which includes attempts to revoke deportation protections for migrants from troubled countries, may eliminate workers who could have filled those jobs.

Many Americans aren’t interested in factory jobs because they often do not pay enough to lure workers away from service jobs that may have more flexible schedules or more comfortable working environments.

For some companies, remaining globally competitive involves the use of sophisticated equipment that requires employees to have extensive training and familiarity with software. And employers cannot simply hire people right out of high school without providing specialized training programs to bring them up to speed. That wasn’t the case in the heyday of American manufacturing.

Attracting motivated young people to manufacturing careers is also a challenge when high school guidance counselors are still judged by how many students go on to college.

College graduates, on the other hand, often do not have the right skills to be successful on a factory floor.

The country is flooded with college graduates who can’t find jobs that match their education, Mr. Hetrick said, and there are not enough skilled blue-collar workers to fill the positions that currently exist, let alone the jobs that will be created if more factories are built in the United States.

The Business Roundtable, a lobbying group whose members are chief executives of companies, has started an initiative in which executives collaborate on strategies to attract and train a new generation of workers in skilled trades. At an event last week in Washington, executives commiserated about how hard it was to find qualified people and swapped tips onstage for overcoming the gap.

Their ideas included combing through existing company job descriptions to prioritize relevant experience over college degrees and recruiting high school students as young as sophomores for experiences that could draw their interest in manufacturing careers.

“For every 20 job postings that we have, there is one qualified applicant right now,” said David Gitlin, the chairman and chief executive of Carrier Global, which produces air-conditioners and furnaces and services heating and cooling equipment.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, Mr. Gitlin said, demand has exploded for technicians to service data centers, which are built with cooling systems called chillers. He estimated that each data center would require four technicians to maintain a single chiller.

“We have 425,000 technicians today,” he said. “We are going to need to hire another four to five hundred thousand over the next 10 years.” But the number of young people going to vocational schools and community colleges, he added, is dropping, not growing.

At the Business Roundtable event, executives praised Mr. Trump’s efforts to revive the country’s industrial base. But some executives acknowledged that the president’s immigration policies posed challenges to any effort to fill the factories that he has pledged to bring back.

Peter J. Davoren, the chairman and chief executive of Turner Construction Company, said that he would like to see “a clear path for citizenship” for immigrants in the construction industry and the food industry.

The Trump administration’s aggressive cuts to training programs for blue-collar workers have also hurt efforts to train a new generation of factory workers. The administration has taken steps to eliminate the Job Corps, a 60-year-old program that provides at-risk youths from 16 to 24 with a path to a career in the trades. Huntington Ingalls Industries, the country’s largest shipbuilder, hired 68 Job Corps graduates in December in its bid to beef up its work force.

“The gap between available skills and needed skills in the work force is widening,” Chris Kastner, the president and chief executive of HII, said. “Technology is evolving fast but education and training systems too often lag behind.”

The Trump administration has rolled out an initiative called Make America Skilled Again, which consolidates existing work force training programs into one initiative that would give states grants if the states meet certain criteria. At least 10 percent of the new Make America Skilled Again funding must be spent on apprenticeships.

In April, Mr. Trump signed an executive order that directed the secretary of labor, the secretary of commerce and the secretary of education to submit a plan to create one million registered apprenticeships. But it is unclear if that ambitious target can be achieved with the funding in Mr. Trump’s budget bill, which trims $1.6 billion from work force training.

In April, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent drew the ire of many federal employees when he suggested that American factories could get the labor they needed from the ranks of laid-off government workers. “We are shedding excess labor in the federal government,” he told Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host. “That will give us the labor we need for the new manufacturing.”

But recruiting laid-off federal employees never came up at the Roundtable event. Instead, participants spoke of efforts to train high school students and veterans.

Blake Moret, the chairman and chief executive of Rockwell Automation, a Milwaukee-based process-automation specialist, said his company had created an academy of advanced manufacturing that trained returning service members for 12 weeks.

Sara Armbruster, the chief executive of Steelcase, a company in Grand Rapids, Mich., that designs furniture, said businesses must begin recruiting in high school to educate students and their parents about how rewarding a career in manufacturing could be.

Students often change their minds about a career in manufacturing when they visit the company’s shop floor and see that a modern factory is clean, high-tech and “cool,” she added.

“When they have that moment, it really changes everything in terms of opening up possibilities for them in their career,” she said.
