(...)¿El piso lleva sin venderse un año? Da igual, ya aparecerá un comprador que me pague lo que pido por un piso que es un año más viejo. "Antes que malvenderlo le meto fuego".Son muchos años de no mercado como para ahora bajarle 5.000 euros a un piso de 200.000. Es una derrota moral que muchos no pueden aceptar. Es mejor tenerlo cerrado que "perder", aunque haya que comer arroz y patatas 25 días al mes.(...)
Potlatch (regalo) es el nombre de una ceremonia practicada por los pueblos autóctonos o locales de la costa del Pacífico en el noroeste de Norteamérica, tanto en los Estados Unidos como en la provincia de la Columbia Británica de Canadá. Ejemplos de aquellos pueblos son: los Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian, Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth, y Kwakiutl (Kwakwaka'wakw).El potlatch, vigente hasta el siglo xx, toma la forma de festín ceremonial para el que se utiliza carne de foca o salmón. En este festín se observan las relaciones jerárquicas entre los grupos, que se refuerzan mediante el intercambio de regalos (mantas) y otras ceremonias. El anfitrión muestra su riqueza e importancia regalando sus posesiones, queriendo dar a entender que tiene tantas que puede permitirse hacer todos esos regalos. Por tanto, se puede decir que el potlatch consistía en cambiar regalos por prestigio, que se incrementaba con el valor de los bienes distribuidos. A partir del siglo xix, los pueblos que practicaban el potlatch, y en particular los kwakiutl, comenzaron a comerciar con los europeos, lo que supuso un gran aumento de su riqueza, al mismo tiempo que disminuía drásticamente su población debido a las nuevas enfermedades que estos introdujeron. Ello estimuló una intensa competencia por el prestigio, hasta el punto de que los kwakiult comenzaron no solo a regalar bienes como mantas y piezas de cobre, sino incluso a destruirlos. En algunos casos, los anfitriones destruían la mayor parte de sus propiedades, e incluso llegaron a quemar sus casas. Este hecho produjo el que algunos estudiosos llegaran a considerar estas prácticas como comportamientos económicamente derrochadores, resultado de un impulso irracional de búsqueda de estatus y prestigio.

https://www.marketplace.org/2023/03/14/housing-costs-are-a-main-reason-inflation-is-still-highCitarHousing costs are a main reason inflation is still highInflation is continuing to slow, showcased by the February headline number — 6%. That’s down from 6.4% in January, and it’s the eighth month in a row that the rate of inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, has declined. However, February’s reading is still nowhere near the Federal Reserve’s target rate of 2%. One key reason inflation is still so stubbornly high is the cost of housing. Shelter costs are driving more than 70% of inflation right now, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But there are lots of other data showing that rising interest rates are having an impact on the housing market, including rents. So what gives? Well, it helps to think back to the first year or two of the pandemic, when the housing market — and later, the rental market — really took off.“It took some time for that strength to show up in inflation,” said Ali Wolf, chief economist at the housing data and consultancy firm Zonda.“We didn’t see that much inflation from shelter in early … 2021,” she said. Even though price gains were already in progress.“The same thing is now happening in reverse, where we know that housing was one of the first sectors to slow in the wider economy,” Wolf explained. “And yet today’s inflation release is still showing that overall shelter is growing, and growing at a pretty rapid pace.”It generally takes six to 12 months or even longer for changes in rents and housing costs to show up in inflation data. Wolf said the rental market didn’t really start to slow until late last year — less than six months ago. “That means when we’re looking at … the shelter component of the consumer price index, we’re really looking at a shadow of the housing market,” said Igor Popov, chief economist at Apartment List. “Where it was recently, not where it is now or where it’s headed.”He said that if you look at what’s happening in real time, it becomes pretty clear. “Rising interest rates have already done their job on the housing market,” he said.The Fed, obviously, knows all this, said Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS.“So there’s been a lot more attention being paid not only to core inflation — which removes the volatile sectors of food and energy — but now this idea of ‘supercore’ inflation, which also takes out housing from the overall CPI,” she explained.Not because it’s volatile, but because it’s lagging.

@charliebilello Silicon Valley Bank is now marketing themselves as the single safest "place to keep or transfer your deposits (fully insured with no limits or caps)."
Credit Suisse to Get Liquidity Backstop if Needed, SNB SaysSwitzerland’s central bank and financial regulator said Credit Suisse Group AG will receive a liquidity backstop if needed, in an effort to arrest the slump in confidence around the troubled lender. “Credit Suisse meets the capital and liquidity requirements imposed on systemically important banks,” Finma and the Swiss National Bank said in a joint statement late Wednesday. “If necessary, the SNB will provide Credit Suisse with liquidity.”Shares in Credit Suisse fell by a record amount Wednesday and its bonds fell to levels that signal deep financial distress, as doubts over the scandal-ridden lender combined with a global selloff in banking stocks. Credit Suisse remains above regulatory capital and liquidity minimums, though it has suffered historic withdrawals by clients nervous over its future direction. The Swiss government and regulators have been discussing options to stabilize the bank, ranging from a public show of support and the liquidity backstop to more structural remedies including a separation of the Swiss unit and a tie-up with larger Swiss rival UBS Group AG. The crisis was accelerated Wednesday after the Saudi National Bank ruled out increasing its stake because of regulatory constraints. The plunge helped drag all European lenders lower as investors were quick to move away from banking risk after turmoil induced by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. “There are no indications of a direct risk of contagion for Swiss institutions due to the current turmoil in the US banking market,” Finma and the SNB said in the statement. “Finma and the SNB are following developments very closely and are in close contact with the Federal Department of Finance to ensure financial stability.”

Titular: El Mundo 15 Marzo 23: La Inflación empobrece a los asalariados a niveles de 1996.Cualquiera que haga la compra y pague sus facturas domésticas de energía (Luz, Gas, Gasóleo) sabe que la subida está por encima del 40%. Si además está hipotecado euribor variable su cuota habrá subido en torno al 25% y sus amortizaciones de capital se han reducido en una proporción superior. Contra esta realidad, las Instituciones siguen manipulando la opinión y los datos para hacernos creer que los precios han subido la tercera parte de la realidad.Este efecto es muy superior en los niveles salariales más bajos.Con lo cual se debe recordar a quienes se dedican a comprarse votos inocentes subiendo por ejemplo el Salario Mínimo, que hoy están peor que antes de la subida y lo que en realidad ha hecho el gobierno ha sido buscar Incrementos de Recaudación --que han llegado al ritmo de la inflación real-- y empeorar la situación del Factor Trabajo.España ya era de los países con un coste de la S. Social más alto. De los peores, realmente. el Coste de la SS era ya el 33 % de las nóminas brutas y hoy sobrepasa el 36%. Recuerden esto cuando la diva nibelunga de osada nariz y labia engañosa nos trate de camelar mientras nos roba la exigua cartera.El resultado de sus subidas de SMI ha sido un 40% de Inflación alimentaria y una degradación de nuestra competitividad con quienes nos reemplazan como proveedores: Marruecos, Turquía, Argelia, etc. El trabajador está hoy, tras el subidón, con un salario real inferior en 157 euros/año según el mismo artículo de El Mundo citado. 15/3/23Este esquema de una Inflación deliberada de Costes impulsada por nuestros gobernantes sin piedad se repite en toda la UE. El Coste del Impuesto sobre el CO2 --que incide en todo-- se ha multiplicado por 25 desde 2012 y el 85% % de esta subida ha tenido lugar en los últimos 4 años. Titulares del día 10 de este mes.Están acelerando el daño en cada decisión. Pero ellos van "en canoa"Nos han tomado la medida perfectamente.Que descansen
UK Treasury Is Giving Older People $90,000 a Year To Keep WorkingPosted by BeauHD on Wednesday March 15, 2023 @06:00PM from the work-to-live-or-live-to-work dept.An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg:CitarConvincing older British workers to stay in their jobs will cost the UK Treasury 75,000 pounds ($90,000) per person in tax breaks for some of the country's wealthiest savers, analysis of Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt's budget shows. In his budget speech on Wednesday Hunt scrapped the lifetime allowance on pensions -- the total that workers can pile into their retirement pot without incurring tax -- and increased the tax-free annual limit on contributions by 50%, to 60,000 pounds.The shift is designed to reverse a trend in the number of older workers dropping out of jobs since the pandemic, which has contributed to a shortage of staff and is fanning inflation. But the Office for Budget Responsibility, the independent fiscal watchdog, calculated (PDF) that Hunt's pension reforms are likely to add just 15,000 more workers to the labor force by 2027/28. They will cost 1.1 billion pounds, meaning the reforms effectively offer a 75,000 pounds per person boost to those able to save enough in their pensions.
