Drogas La Rebaja, en sus dos años de intervención, ha perdido más de 114 mil millones. Petro y su interventor quebraron esta empresa que por muchos años fue rentable. 5.500 personas están ad portas de perder su empleo.

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!

“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

“We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.”

Hypatia of Alexandria (c. 370–415 AD) was a pioneering female mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher. She is renowned for her work on conic sections and her role as a prominent educator in Alexandria. Tragically, Hypatia was murdered by a mob in 415 AD, leading to the loss of many of her contributions.

Milton Friedman said it best:

“Keep your eye on how much the Government is spending, because that is the true tax.

There is no such thing as an unbalanced budget. You PAY FOR IT either in the form of taxes, or indirectly in the form of inflation or debt.”

Fact check: TRUE ✅

DE PASEO A JÚPITER

Júpiter es un "planeta gaseoso", sin superficie sólida.

Si tomamos una nave hasta este gigante ¿Podríamos caer por un extremo de Júpiter y salir por el otro?

¿Será como atravesar una espesa nube?

Cuídate del pariente y del hermano
