España ‘low cost’: por qué crecer no es converger en riqueza con Europa, por Carlos Ruano @el_pais 📈 Crecer no es converger: Aunque el PIB avanza a buen ritmo y el empleo bate récords, la renta per cápita en España sigue estancada en el 92% de la media de la UE. El crecimiento actual se apoya casi exclusivamente en el motor del empleo, pero adolece de un crecimiento insuficiente de la productividad. 🏭 La trampa del modelo 'low cost': Más del 94% del tejido empresarial español está formado por microempresas de menos de 10 trabajadores. Esta falta de escala limita su productividad y la inversión en I D al 1,4% del PIB (frente al 2,2% de la media europea), lo que obliga a buena parte del país a competir por precio y no por valor añadido. 🚀 Urge ganar tamaño y tecnología: para elevar el poder adquisitivo real y cerrar la brecha con Europa, no basta con crear puestos de trabajo. La solución pasa por la consolidación empresarial, la mejora del capital humano, de las regulaciones y del funcionamiento de las AA.PP., la automatización y la inversión en nuevas tecnologías. elpais.com/economia/negocios… cc @BBVAResearch

i used to fear mamdani was too young to oversee a city like new york and now i realize our politicians should ... have energy? and stamina?

It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.

Una forma maravillosa de que cuando cumplan la mayoría de edad voten a Reform

Lo de hacer una campaña contra el gobierno autonómico de Madrid dirigida a gente que no puede votar en Madrid porque no está empadronada en Madrid me parece precioso

Dude just showed up handing out pizzas, people cheering each other on to close down the street, everyone scooching over to make room for one more … never seen more love and unity. #knicksinfive

what a great city

Tenemos a un sector de la izquierda en el que ya se defiende abiertamente que se puedan recibir regalos de 200.000 pavos por tener un cargo público y que ni se declaren ni se tengan que entregar a Patrimonio Nacional. Una falta de vergüenza sin límites.

Financial markets have been decoupling from the intrinsic value that should support the multiples of their valuation for quite some time already. Even then, this is quite wild

The taxes are high and the rent is astronomical but it’s the greatest city in the world

Most major luxury brands have a two tiered structure today: a cheaper more entry level model, as here, and then the *real* luxury product at a much more expensive price The reason for this is several-fold. One is that the luxury brands have realized that there’s huge unmet demands for their products and that they can meet this by putting their name on a product that has a much lower price point. Customers at this level mostly want the label anyway, and the brand will outsource the production to China and lower the quality of the components (the Rimowa here is their plastic version). This is basically a huge subsidy for the brand; the name costs nothing to put on the product, but it’s much cheaper to make, so the profit margins are really good In contrast, the real luxury product is usually still made in house. Rimowa makes its Original lines in Cologne for example. You see this tiering strategy everywhere today. But if you aren’t aware of it, you think you’re getting the luxury product for a cheaper price. It really isn’t *the* luxury product. But you have to know this

I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management. Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134–137, 139, ... The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too. That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site. Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices. Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.
