Precioso mapa con los países en tamaño real. Aunque lo sepamos racionalmente, Rusia, Groenlandia y Canadá junto con los tres nórdicos siguen sorprendiendo por su tamaño.
RT @simongerman600: Size comparison maps are always fun. This map shows all countries of the world by its real size arranged like the real map (created via https://www.thetruesize.com/). Source: https://t.co/0LhtYEdxWg
RT @COdendahl: I never thought I’d see the day. 82% of Germans favour extension of #nuclear power, 41% even a longer term use.
Only 15% favour turning them off as planned at the end of 2022.
Nunca imaginé que leería esto: "científicamente, la muerte es un proceso biológico que es tratable y reversible."

RT @OlafStorbeck: Err, nothing I fancy reading befor the first coffee tbh 😬👻
RT @emmabonino: L'accordo di coalizione tra @Piu_Europa/ @Azione_it e il @pdnetwork è per me dettato nel non volere assumere la responsabilità politica di regalare un solo voto alla destra putiniana e orbaniana e per portare avanti l’agenda Draghi.
L'intervista a @qnazionale
A great thread from @R2Rsquared : yes, there were accidents, but no, Central Banks are not innocent. You need to be ready for when bad stuff happens.
RT @R2Rsquared: ** The burst of high inflation in 2021-22: How and Why?
I just released a paper based on several talks I’ve given over many months (starting with Markus Academy @markuseconomist and ending with @BIS_org) on why monetary policy did not stop inflation rising in 2021-22 …
Volví a ver "El secreto de sus ojos" y me volvió a impresionar, a intrigar, y a emocionar como la primera vez. Qué maravilla de actuaciones, de guión, de dirección. 10/10.
Personal news: after three years in the European Parliament I am going back to academia -will spend next academic year as a visiting professor of economics at @Columbia and @UChicago @chicagobooth. Looking forward to many fruitful interactions and resetting my mind.

RT @theJeremyVine: 🧵So let's just get this straight.
The Spanish government prints a poster encouraging people to accept each other's bodies on the beach.
Everyone praises it.
RT @thorstenbenner: 70% of Germans in favor of extending nuclear power plants, 20% against.
54% of Green party voters in favor, 38% against.

RT @ClarkWriting: Good afternoon Pakistan! It's good to see you are interested in this important story about @ImranKhanPTI, cricket 🏏, politics and money 💰. Here's a photo of the full article in today's edition of @FinancialTimes.
RT @ffelgueroso: Midiendo el paro como los americanos: actualización EPA 2022T2
RT @rdomenechv: Buenos datos de la EPA 2T, con luces y alguna sombra: la tasa de paro disminuye al 12,5% (expectativa de @BBVAResearch 12,6%) y la tasa de temporalidad al 22,3%, pero el empleo crece un 0,6% t/t CVEC, algo menos de lo esperado (1,1%)

RT @ben_moll: 13. Remember the lobbyists' favorite example of "substitution is impossible": the glass industry. Surprise surprise:
Glas manufacturer Wiegand Glass "will be able to heat its melting tanks [...] with light fuel oil instead of natural gas"

Buenísimo el artículo de @VictorLapuente sobre cómo un país en el que nos llenamos la boca con la justicia social, en la práctica hace lo contrario -redistribuir el miedo hacia los jóvenes.
RT @Mangeles_HM: 👉 "El buen Estado de Bienestar es el que redistribuye buen el miedo".
👉 "En nuestro país (#España) gobiernos, sindicatos y patronales de todos los colores han contribuido a una fuerte segregación social del miedo".
📰 Lean a @Vic…
El problema inmobiliario de China en un gráfico. Cada mes desde el 2010 se comienzan a contruir más de 100 millones de metros cuadrados de vivienda y se terminan unos 60 millones de metros al mes. Pensad Seseña multiplicado por 10.000.
RT @Birdyword: Takes a very sharp eye to pick out the problem currently plaguing the Chinese housing market and causing the mortgage boycotts, but see if you can spot it.
@SalixB2 @jasoncrawford @patrickc @pitdesi I assume (although may be an optimistic asumption) Taleb mentions the originator of the idea and analysis, Sherwin Rosen, 1981, the Economics of Superstars

Una espléndida obsesión por @JuanCladeRamon: "anudar a quienes llevaban tiempo combatiendo la fractura etnolingüística de la comunidad civil española y a quienes querían sacar al país de su anquilosamiento económico y revertir la degradación institucional."https://www.elmundo.es/opinion/columnistas/2022/07/25/62dd2b1221efa052498b4571.html
RT @garius: On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for an attack on an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam.
As the attack developed, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. /1 🧵
Excellent Charlemagne @spignal on Germany´s "wilful blindness" to its growing dependence on Putin by voluntarily shrinkubg the supply of energy from other sources, particulary nuclear and hydraulic fracking (not dangerous in spite of propaganda)
