The story of Wes Moore, governor elect of Maryland, is quite extraordinary- from poverty and pety crime to the army, Johns Hopkins, Oxford, White House, entrepreneur, writer... Worth clicking on the video.
RT @iamwesmoore: I defied the odds to become a Rhodes Scholar, Army officer & CEO.
Now, I'm announcing my run for Maryland Governor.
Because I believe no matter our start—we all deserve an equal opportunity to succeed.
I'd be …
RT @michaelreid52: Vamos a ver que piensen cuando se hace un sello conmemorativo para Vox
The Commission is taking s serious approach, by amending the Multiannual Budget (MFF) rather than the (often preferred) magic moving money around.
This deserves respect and support.
RT @JHahnEU: #Ukraine's funding requires urgent action. On the funding side, we will use all possible means to support Ukraine 🇺🇦.
The @EU_Commission will borrow on financial markets on behalf of the #EU. The guarantee f. the borrowing will be given by…
RT @I_Am_NickBloom: Paper on minimum wages and outsourcing by Beatriz Pousada, Stanford Job Market Candidate https://web.stanford.edu/~bpousada/
Finds higher minimum wages
A) Increase outsourced workers earnings
B) Cut outsourced employment
Topical with #WFH increasing outsourcing and minimum wages spreading
RT @masuch_klaus: 👇Military aid for 🇺🇦:“The UK alone supports 🇺🇦more than the EU combined.“ The UK, which sadly left the EU, is doing much more than🇩🇪,🇫🇷,🇮🇹,🇪🇸 combined to help🇺🇦to defend freedom, democracy, and to prevent Russian war crimes! @lugaricano @berlin_bridge @TimothyDSnyder @ben_moll
RT @mattsteinglass: As a last thought, the places that keep springing to mind for me are Israel and Vietnam. These are nations made in war, and the funny thing is that this makes them absolutely a good bet to invest in. 18/18
Uuf (para España y Europa): Ningun país cuya fertilidad descendió por debajo de reposición (menos de 2 hijos por mujer) ha conseguido devolverla a un valor por encima de 2.
RT @Conor_A_Walsh: Incredible fact presented at @UTAustin Scale and Innovation workshop. No country has EVER managed to take fertility above 2 once it drops below.

RIP in 2022 the argument that #Crypto is a hedge against the debasement of our currencies through inflation.
In sum:
- A bad means of payment,
- A terrible store of value
- A useless unit of account
Is money laundering and crime financing the only remaining use case?
RT @FrankLuntz: "Be an adult, set a good example, accept your loss and move on, damnit!"
As I told @JoeNBC this morning, election denial undercuts our democracy and our basic human decency. #ElectionDay
Me llega esto ahora del Parlamento Europeo (gracias @petras_petras !) y me hace muy feliz.
¡Felicidades, @chefjoseandres! ¡Muy contento de que hayas ganado el premio de la Ciudadanía Europea por tu brillante trabajo en Ucrania! (Un recuerdo de nuestro encuentro en abril en Kiev)
Global warming, New York edition: today lunch time temperature in Columbia was 25 degrees Celsius, 77F.
It was supposed to be undetectable in short term... but every day is a record day!
Discuss: Musk inept handling of his new toy, Twitter (just today, sending "vote republican"messages and this pic of a Wermacht soldier) will damage not just Twitter's brand, but also Tesla, the jewel in his crown.
RT @elonmusk: How times have changed
The story told here, the story of George Klein, his escape from the Holocaust, his friendships, is absolutely extraordinary.
RT @YouAreLobbyLud: George Klein, the cancer biologist. He tried to tell the Jews of Budapest what fate awaited them if they got on the deportation trains. They didn't believe him. They died. People don't react to unimaginable catastrophe with panic. They react with denial.

Así mueren las democracias: sólo un tercio de los candidatos republicanos consideran legítima la elección presidencial de 2020.
RT @mathieuvonrohr: This is how democracies die.

RT @AP: "I think I’m going crazy. I’ve already killed so many civilians."
The @AP and @FrontlinePBS obtained hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and intercepts of audio calls by Russian soldiers that show what a Russian "cleansing" operation looked like. https://apnews.com/article/bucha-ukraine-war-cleansing-investigation-43e5a9538e9ba68a035756b05028b8b4
Y lo más importante: vamos hacia dos décadas perdidas. Producimos menos bienes y servicios por español que hace 15 años.
Esto es catastrófico para sostener nuestro estado del bienestar.
