: Where we are in economy today? (Part I) This is a key question that everybody tries to avoid. However, we are not in the best time of our economic history. To confirm, today posted a story titled “The Invisible Recession of 2016” by Neil Irwin (SundayBusiness, Pag1)
: Where we are in economy today? (Part II) According to N. Irwin (), between 2015 and the middle of 2016, the world lived a new recession period, despite China or US didn’t talk in public about it. In that moment, China had problems, as I remember for my think tank.
: Where we are in economy today? (Part III) N. Irwin () thinks that it is probably that the invisible mini-recession of 2015-2016 had impacted in the 2016 American elections. Irwin doesn’t talk about the current moment in economy, however, his analysis is good lesson!
: Where we are in economy today? (Part IV). The conclusions of Neil Irwin () are important for us. He says:“Like it or not, the complexity of our global connections means that policy can’t just focus pm the home front. In 2016, we learned that lesson that hard way...”
: Where we are in economy today? (Part V) After analysis, here my analysis: 1) Till now we don’t know where we will arrive in the US-China war. 2) Canada-US differences can be serious. 3) The problems between Europe-US are complex. Does anybody can guess the effects?

: Is possible a definitive nuclear deal with North Korea? This week, President Trump talked in the annual assembly of the United Nations, in New York, showing optimism about a possible deal with North Korea. This opinion confronts a previous declaration of the C.I.A. director.
: North Korean deal: “Gina Haspel, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, said that North Korea has spent decades building its weapons program, and noted that the government in Pyongyang had said it was 'essential to their regime’s survival.' ” (, Sept.r 24)
: Skepticism versus optimism about North Korean deal? According to , “Ms. Haspel’s remarks echo the skepticism of former C.I.A. officers, who are said to believe that North Korea will be reluctant to give up weapons as a part of negotiations with the United States.”
: What really North Korea is looking for? According to , Ms. Haspel said "Mr. Kim wants to better the economic situation in his country.", but this doesn't imply that in the end, the North Korean dictator will give up the nuclear weapons.

The open accusation against men for a possible sexual misconduct is unfair. There are good men like also good women. From the other side, there are a lot of women who enjoy playing with men and after that they act as victims..

: The era is powering the rape victims to reveal their dramas. (This is good thing.) However, the accusations of accusations can sink us in a dirty swamp. Why? Because we cannot ignore that a lot of stories only have economic or political reasons. (This is bad thing.)

: Trade War effect: Yesterday, posted a story titled: “U.S. Tech Finds Itself Tangled Up in Trade War” by Cecilia Kang. We talked before about this issue: the American companies are very depending of the outsourcing operations linked with Chinese manufacturing plants.
: Trade War effect: The story says that: “President Trump says his trade war with China will protect America’s dominance and derail Beijing’s plan for technological and economic supremacy.” Good goal! But we are tangled with the Chinese businesses in bad way.
: Trade War effect: The same story of says that the new tariffs will hit “tech and telecom companies that provide much of the gear that powers the Internet, mobile networks, data storage and other technology.” According to the news, tariffs start at 10% & grow to 25%.
: Trade War effect. Like remarks, the effect of the trade war will damage to Intel, Dell, Apple and important American tech companies. In other story, wrote: “Quit China? It’s Not Going to be Easy”. The new story suggests to move tech plants to Cambodia. (?)
: Trade War effect: Rob Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a think tank referenced by , “The tariffs affect the heart of the infrastructure of Internet.” In summary, the tariffs to Chinese imports punishes American market too.
: Trade War effect: Despite companies like Intel or Apple design the technology in U.S., during last few years, Chinese outsourcing plants in charge of the manufacturing of our products are learned a lot of secrets of the tech business and they can compete with us.
