Opinion: The US is supposed to reach trade deals with more than 180 countries in some 84 days. That is ridiculous, says our columnist Martin Wolf. Can businesses plan long-term investment amid the chaos? Business, after all, must think in years, not days on.ft.com/4cy3Fit

TODAY! My 88 yr old father, Ernesto, who spent 50 years at Princeton University's Plasma Physics Lab, is one of the most honest and rigorous scientists I know, dedicating his entire life to curiosity, discovery and experiments--and especially never scared to speak out when

Another shot in the foot! Apart from removing R&D funding, Trump and his team are taking away visas from international students. It is well know that foreign graduates keep strong economic and scientific ties with the countries where they studied.

Finally a bit of good news: Financial Times "Donald Trump pledges to cut drug prices for Americans" That is what Biden tried to do too. Price levels in the US are literally criminal. But if imports are finally allowed, will they be tariff free?

Ha ha ha! Exactly what we are all thinking! A cartoon with many shots... in both feet!!!

¡Obvio! ¿Quien lo está dudando? ¿Será que las autocracias populistas decidieron reivindicar a Pinochet? Sospecho que las cosas van a empeorar aún más antes de mejorar. Sin embargo y a pesar de todo, la historia me permite confiar en que mejorarán.

Excellent analysis by Anne Applebaum, author of Autocracy Inc., showing how autocrats the world over join together above ideologies. youtube.com/watch?v=tKdpLF…

Incredible! #AssistedDying (#euthanasia) could be denied to many who really want to end unbearable suffering, because a few people (who are going to die soon anyway) ‘might’ be encouraged by their relatives to ask for it. Big business for Big Farma!

Great book by Hilary Cottam called #TheWorkWeNeed discussing the modernisation of the workplace for the 21st century, to be released on the 29th.

Unbelievable! How will the #beautifulbill' affect the MAGA followers and everyone else? Robert Reich summarized it in Substack. Here are 8 points from it. But I don't suppose X will post it for many to see.

Strong warning from Kyle Chan in the The New York Times . He published an article about the increasing danger for the US of losing the technological race with China and the need to urgently shift policies (the opposite of what is being done). nytimes.com/2025/05/19/opi…

After solar panels, electric vehicles and batteries, China will probably succeed with airplanes. There aren't enough markets in the North for both camps' production. The only way to expand markets is to develop the Global South scmp.com/economy/global…
