BLOG COMMENTS: 2016/01/26 - 016/02/04



MY COMMENT: German Police has to arrest more than two suspected Islamic terrorists.

Surely, now Europe is invaded by armies of terrorists.

MY COMMENT: The golden times of Sharp had ended long time ago. The current situation of this technology company is very bad.

Sharp is another sample of the Japanese defeats in battle with Korean and Chinese younger competitors.

MY COMMENT: EU has not to warn on China slowdown. It has to put on guard for its own problems, for example the border checks.

By the way, the Europeans have a lot of own problems today.

MY COMMENT: Now, according to the news, Hillary Clinton is a fighter. In the terrible night of Benghazi, she didn't fight for her people...

MY COMMENT: Rand Paul - one of the GOP favorites before the campaign started - is another dead of this hard presidential race. 

The reality is that in the end of the campaign, only one candidate will be the winner.

MY COMMENT: As we see in the introduction of this story, after the small victory against Sanders in Iowa, Hillary Clinton is smiling in front her fans. But does she smile inside her for herself?

MY COMMENT: The Iowa’s GOP voting has more than one reading:

1) It is important victory of Ted Cruz, a politician with an interesting political career: rebel Senator, strong fighter and with Christian roots.

2) It is a serious defeat of Donald Trump, a rich businessman who believes that he can buy the heart and the mind of the American citizens with money.

3) It shows a trend: Marco Rubio, the third ranked in this election, is like Ted a young politician with different roots and style from the old generation of politicians.

4) Both candidates - Ted and Marco - reflect an internal revolution in the Republican Party associated with social principles.

MY COMMENT: Yes, "no one in Europe wants the U.K. to leave" However, Germany and others expect a constructive attitude from Cameron.

MY COMMENT: The new systems of electronic translations together with digital dictionaries with voice and computer advanced tools are reducing the language barrier.

However, the “machines” never will replace the human interaction that is key to understand others who speak different from me.

For example, in only two years walking the streets of a German city and reading German newspapers with the visualization of the pictures and graphics of the papers, I learned more German language than in an intensive course organized by the German educational authorities.

The visualization of pictures when you know the subject in your language helps to understand the same subject in other language. And this is not an electronic system; this is a human system to work with newspapers. Of course, you have to make the effort.

01/29/2016 09:45:49 PM



MY COMMENT: The plan of Xerox Corp to split itself into two companies is the definitive collapse of one of the top heroes of the technology revolution.

MY COMMENT: About the U.S. GDP, 0.7% of growth is better than nothing, but it shows our economy is walking terrible slow. No good signal!
01/29/2016 02:57:44 PM



MY COMMENT: This is a good political experiment: a presidential debate without the front-runner. We have to see the echo in many days.

MY COMMENT: The Iranian leader is making very good sales in his first trip to Europe after the nuclear deal and thanks the Obama’s flexibility.

Will the Iranian leader pay fees to President Obama for the businesses he is making with the Europeans now?

MY COMMENT: Sweden starts the 'purge' of the migrant influx. They know how to clean the country from human trash.

It is reasonable that the Swedes don't want contaminate their country with people who only come to Europe to enjoy a good life without the own merits.

MY COMMENT: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has to find the way to put its business in the best line to improve its net profit while is growing in revenues simultaneously.
01/27/2016 12:45:03 PM



MY COMMENT: Normally, the “economic migrants” are not loyal to the country that receives them. They only use the country to make money thinking in a return to their home lands.

They are not interested in the integration to the people and communities of the country they receive. They don’t care about the roots of the country, its history, its traditions, its culture.

They are not a good inversion for the countries that open them their doors with a future perspective.
