RT @ffelgueroso: No consigo quitarme de encima la repugnancia por cómo se ha tratado a esta mujer.

Extremely clear explanation by @BBCRosAtkins of the current episode of the Brexit mess and of the key unanswered question:
Where does Boris Johnson want the border?
- Between Ireland and Northern Ireland
- Between the two islands.
There are no more options.
RT @BBCRosAtkins: The UK says the implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol is now a matter of ‘internal peace and security’. 7 mins on a part of Brexit that, so far, refus…
RT @ben_moll: Here @tom_krebs_ clarifies that my earlier criticism was exactly correct: he
- gets 1.6% GDP loss on impact
- multiplies by 5(!) based on Fukushima study
--> 8% loss
I here summarize in one place all the different ways different people have come up with to say: "this is wrong"
Who knew the (supposedly decentralized) blockchain could be "officially halted"? Is this "stablecoins" die?
RT @terra_money: The Terra blockchain was officially halted at a block height of 7603700.
Terra validators have decided to halt the Terra chain to prevent governance attacks following severe $LUNA inflation and a significantly reduced cost of attack.
Today Russia announced that their gas will no longer flow through Poland.
We should not allow Putin to blackmail us. We have alternatives to Russian gas, as I explain in this video. We should use them now 👇

#Tether is the keystone of the whole system, and it is a deeply flawed keystone. Once it collapses, it will be very hard for any other crypto asset to stay valuable.
(Why flawed?: Anyone Seen Tether’s Billions? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-10-07/crypto-mystery-where-s-the-69-billion-backing-the-stablecoin-tether)
Hora de acabar con la jornada continua (en realidad, matinal):
- empobrece en tiempo y dinero a las familias
- agudiza las desigualdades educativas
- impide la conciliación laboral de la mujer
- perjudica más a los niños de familias desfavorecidas
RT @lucas_gortazar: Una jornada (continua) interminable. El editorial de @el_pais de hoy recoge nuestro informe de @EsadeEcPol
@Sainz_Jorge @jordi_canyas @CiudadanosCs @InesArrimadas Gran noticia, Jorge, mucha suerte y muchos éxitos en esta nueva etapa!
Gran mensaje del primer ministro búlgaro Petkov: si Bulgaria, el país más pobre y con mayor dependencia del gas ruso, puede mantenerse firme ante Rusia, todos los demás países también pueden hacerlo.
RT @iameurmishvili: Simple and direct message to many capitals from 🇧🇬Prime Minister Kiril Petkov - if Bulgaria stands up to Russia, everyone should be able to.
Es oficial. El Presidente y PM de Finlandia ponen en marcha su entrada en la OTAN. Esta agresión de Putin fortalece y une a las democracias.

No one in the West has contributed as much as Gerhard Schröder to Russia being able to finance this war. Parliament must ask that he is added to the sanctions list. https://www.politico.eu/article/liberal-mep-gerhard-schroder-russia-sanction-list/
Very important: the demand response to high gas prices in Europe was more than enough in April to not import any Russian gas.
RT @McwilliamsBen: The EU needs to reduce gas demand by around 20% to end Russian imports.
📈 Our estimates suggested that demand was 8% down in Q1 y-o-y (now confirmed by Eurostat for Jan+Feb).
🚨This same methodology implies a *23%* drop in April demand.
RT @POLITICOEurope: The liberal Renew Europe group in the European Parliament is pushing for Europeans who sit on the boards of major Russian companies, including former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, to be added to the EU's Russia sanctions list. https://t.co/8dWFnzG4tB
Escuchen el magnífico discurso de @BalEdmundo .
RT @BalEdmundo: Por el coronel Pérez de los Cobos, por la directora Paz Esteban, por el coronel Sánchez Corbí, por la jurista Mariscal de Gante y por todos los servidores públicos purgados por Sánchez. Sois un orgullo y es un honor defender vuestras trayectorias, dignidad y servicio a España 🇪🇸

Stop to think about it for a minute.

@marti_saballs @elmundoes @eXpansion @unidadeditorial Suerte con la siguiente etapa. Siempre fue un placer leerte.
RT @lucas_gortazar: La principal crítica a nuestro estudio de hoy es que la escuela no debe estar para soportar jornadas laborales de 10/11h. Muy de acuerdo con eso; hay mucho que avanzar en horarios laborales.
El problema es que los empleos de 7/8 horas son también inviables con jornada continua.
