El anuncio estadounidense se acaba de publicar. Coincide.

¿Qué aranceles se ponen en pausa los estadounidenses o los mexicanos? Hasta que no haya pronunciamiento de Washington, los aranceles del 25% siguen. El anunciado Plan B de retaliación de México ni siquiera ha entrado en vigor.

[Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo @Claudiashein]

Sostuvimos una buena conversación con el presidente Trump con mucho respeto a nuestra relación y la soberanía; llegamos a una serie de acuerdos:

1.México reforzará la frontera norte con 10 mil elementos de la Guardia Nacional de forma inmediata, para evitar el tráfico de drogas de México a Estados Unidos, en particular fentanilo.

2.Estados Unidos se compromete a trabajar para evitar el tráfico de armas de alto poder a México.

3.Nuestros equipos empezarán a trabajar hoy mismo en dos vertientes: seguridad y comercio.

https://t.co/eY61untzNZ ponen en pausa los aranceles por un mes a partir de ahora.

1) A significant issue in the ongoing USMCA RRM is the definition of covered facility, which includes that it "produces a good traded ... between the parties." Does this mean that goods made in the facility are traded, or that the type of good produced is traded?

@DeniseDresserG @jacobin @lopezobrador_ Who is @KurtHackbarth and what is @jacobin anyway? Moreover, who reads them? Therein lies the answer.

[Denise Dresser @DeniseDresserG]

In an effort to distract @jacobin readers from the fact that Mexican president @lopezobrador_ has militarized Mexico, promoted crony capitalism, tried to do away with incipient checks and balances, avoided government transparency, allowed corruption among his allies/family members, violated electoral legislation, attacked journalists in a country where they work in permanent danger, left millions of the poor without social safety nets/healthcare/vaccines/medicines, disparaged feminists, fudged the numbers of the disappeared and refused to meet with their mothers, installed party hacks in the Supreme Court, allowed the military to use Pegasus to spy on citizens/activists, dismantled shelters for victims of domestic violence, resorted to the use of fossil fuels, and refused to take action on climate change @KurtHackbarth distorts the meaning of my satirical tweet about Ixtapalapa, a working class neighborhood in Mexico City.

In a government that should no longer be classified as “leftist”, or “progressive”, its elites do not live in Iztapalapa. They travel in first class, send their children to private schools, host over-the-top social events, fly in private planes, do business with public funds, cavort with oligarchs like Carlos Slim, go to private hospitals when they’re sick, etc.

So make fun of me and my analysis as much as you want. The president has done so 117 times in the morning press conferences and I’m used to macho mansplaining and distortion of my views. I’ll continue to underscore the hypocrisy and contradictions of a “leftist” project that only the seduced by authoritarianism still defend.

@cmkourtu @sceniusmexico A true measure of an economy's robustness is not its size (which may depend solely on population), but GDP that is the amount of wealth each person/household creates.

#Perspective

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

"For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900…

Then on your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war, including many of your friends who volunteered to defend freedom in Europe.

Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.

On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 38. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. If you were lucky, you had a job that paid $300 a year, a dollar a day.

When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren't even over the hill yet, but don't try to catch your breath. If you lived in London, England, or most of continental Europe, bombing of your neighborhood, or invasion of your country by foreign soldiers along with their tank and artillery was a daily event. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war.

At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish. At 55, the Vietnam War begins and doesn't end for 20 years. Millions of people perish in that conflict.

On your 62nd birthday, there is the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could have ended. Sensible leaders prevented that from happening.

In 2020, we have the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands have died; it feels pretty dangerous; and it is.

Now think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you think they survived all of the above? When you were a kid in 1965, you didn't think your 65-year-old grandparents understood how hard school was, and how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above.

Perspective is an amazing art. Refined as time goes on, and very enlightening. So, let's try and keep things in perspective. Let's be smart, we are all in this together. Let's help each other out, and we will get through all of this.”
