There has been either an inadvertent or deliberate effort in Spain to focus attention on an individual rather than on management or ministerial failures (such as the failure to complete LZB replacement on this line). Human error is always a symptom and never a cause.

Eso conlleva una serie de procesos mentales, bajo la presión y el estrés, un profesional, por muy preparado que esté, puede cometer ese lapsus."

Hello @elonmusk and @tylercowen , You have just decided to publicly attack our research, six days before the vote on the California billionaire wealth tax. Your attempt to discredit our work and that of our numerous academic colleagues is pathetic. Let’s take a look. 🧵

Simply put 🚨 Javier Milei & Marco Rubio collaborated to exfiltrate Brazil’s most high-profile criminal from grave charges of large-scale corruption and electoral fraud. This is the true function of the Reactionary International, working across borders to corrode our democracies.
Argentine state collusion: This is the van that transported fugitive Flavio Bolsonaro to Puerto Iguazú Airport. It has an Argentine diplomatic license plate. It was part of convoy that entered runway under custody of Airport Security Police.

As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio . From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.

voter turnout in israel at highest by midday since 1977 normally a good thing. for netanyahu, high arab turnout is an ‘emergency’ (…and an excuse to claim election was stolen, of course)

New from me: The US has faced a higher cost than any other country from the global Hormuz oil shock, with the crisis adding $160 billion to its fuel bill — or $471 per person on average — despite being the world’s largest oil producer.

Quan els serveis d'informació policial es converteixen en serveis de desinformació alguna cosa se'ns escapa. Mossos porten tot el dia alertant a comerços de Sants d'un suposat atac de vàndals que es produiria a les 17h. Esperant assegut...

No, no sirve y lo sabe. Da igual la tonelada de evidencia que hay. Estamos a la izquierda de la curva. Si no hay recorte de gasto bajar los impuestos elevará el déficit y la deuda. Y quien me venga a decir luego que hay 60 mil cuquis donde ajustar que no espere respuesta.

Entre el 18 i el 19 d'octubre es van crear 20 perfils de TikTok per reclutar joves i portar-los a grups de WhatsApp/Telegram (~700 a Madrid i Barcelona) per incitar a vandalitzar les ciutats. Algú està manipulant la desesperança dels joves.

“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah. Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah. Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah. "The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him. Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.
To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.

This is not exactly my idea. This is better. The Iranians have designed their compellence plan as a deterrence plan: IF YOU KEEP UP CAT AND MOUSE, we're gonna hit your bases. But the underlying diagnosis is the same. They have lost the Battle of Hormuz. And therefore they must find another channel of cost-imposition. From what I can tell the escalation is designed correctly. Now they have escaped their strategic incoherence. This can work. The ball's in the US court. And I am not long enough.
Al Jazeera confirms. Finally, they have come around to my pov! This is the only way to persuade the US to capitulate on the Hormuz question.

BREAKING: Iran announces it will now attack US bases in the region if any more commercial vessels continue to transit the US-backed southern Omani corridor of the Strait of Hormuz. "This is a serious warning," the statement adds.

A colleague asked me today if Israel ever came close to a military coup. Looks like we might heading into a variety of one just now.
🚨The sortie involved dozens of Israeli fighter jets and refueling aircraft, the sources said 🚨It followed a flight path consistent with a potential strike against Iran, passing through Syrian and Iraqi airspace 🚨As the aircraft approached the Iranian border, they turned around and returned to Israel, the sources said

NEW | EV Adoption is booming around the world The Hormuz crisis once again revealed the risks of an energy system reliant on fossil fuels and countries are taking notice. Growing EV fleets have saved oil importers more than $20 billion since the start of the war.

Una evidència, de la mateixa manera que un inversor institucional encara es pot permetre un rati de vacancies més baix (és estrany que sigui més del 8-10%), de manera que la seva entrada augmenta l'oferta al mercat del lloguer. Però és clar, el nostre nivell de debat és infantil.
¿Quién tiene más viviendas sin alquilar en España? Curiosamente, los pequeños propietarios. He tomado del Panel de Hogares del IRPF de 2023 las viviendas que los propietarios particulares tienen además de su residencia habitual, unos 7,3 millones, y he calculado qué parte está alquilada como vivienda según cuántas tiene cada uno. Quienes tienen una alquilan el 25% y quienes tienen diez o más, el 59%. Comparando solo viviendas del mismo municipio, la distancia se mantiene (26% frente a 49%). Estos datos muestran la pauta, aunque no permiten saber a qué se debe. Encaja con la aversión al riesgo (una persona con un solo piso pierde todo su ingreso con un impago, mientras que quien tiene diez puede repartir ese riesgo). También con la selección (quien compra para alquilar termina acumulando viviendas). Y ojo, la propiedad compartida resta además 10 puntos a la probabilidad de alquilar, lo que apunta a la dificultad de ponerse de acuerdo entre coherederos, un problema que poco tiene que ver con el riesgo. La segunda conclusión es la más importante para movilizar pisos. Los propietarios con una o dos viviendas además de la habitual concentran el 57% de los pisos que alquilan los particulares y el 73% de los que no están alquilados, unos 3,5 millones de 4,8. Los de diez o más son unos 21.600 propietarios con 65.000 viviendas sin alquilar. La oferta potencial está, por tanto, en manos del pequeño propietario, y la política que más vivienda puede sacar al mercado es la que reduce para él el riesgo de alquilar, con impagos que se resuelvan antes, plazos judiciales más cortos y seguros más baratos.
