Bueno, parece que el presidente de Corea del Sur se ha sometido al Parlamento y se ha retirado la ley marcial. No tiene mucho sentido todo esto.

Que han parado el golpe.

The Number of Americans Wanting To Switch Jobs Hits a 10-Year High
Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 03, 2024 @02:30PM from the stuck-on-the-job dept.

More Americans are looking to switch jobs than at any point in the past decade. In a cooling job market, that's a lot easier said than done. From a report:

White-collar hiring continues to slow, but workers' restlessness to find new work is intensifying, new Gallup data show. More than half of 20,000 U.S. workers surveyed in November said they were watching for or actively seeking a new job. That's the largest share since 2015, eclipsing the so-called Great Resignation of 2021 and 2022, when millions of people quit jobs for better ones.

The result? Job satisfaction has fallen to its lowest level in recent years as employees feel more stuck -- and frustrated -- where they are, according to Gallup, whose quarterly surveys are widely viewed as a bellwether of workplace sentiment. Smaller raises and fewer promotions are spurring some of the discontent, workers say. So are cost-cutting moves and stepped-up requirements to be working in offices more often.

Saludos.

Sobre lo de Corea.

Y lo que nos queda por ver.
La confrontación es a la desesperada. Normal que pasen cosas raras.

En la confrontación hay que apretar las filas. Igual que vimos las dictaduras en América, el Sudeste Asiático y la propia Corea, no debe extrañarnos que las volvamos a ver. No vaya a ser que las democracias vayan por donde no deben (Que sí Sudden, que los otros tampoco son democracias y sabemos como acabaría todo).

A este paso volvemos a ver a Sendero Luminoso, la Fracción del Ejército Rojo, Gladio, la Escuela de las Américas, y toda la gaita.

Ya vimos algo parecido en Bolivia, hace poco. No, no creo que volvamos a ver a Sendero Luminoso, etc. Creo que veremos más bien esto otro.

Lo lógico en Corea del Sur ahora sería una destitución o dimisión del presidente y nuevas elecciones. Obviamente las iba a ganar de calle el Partido Democrático

South Korea Becomes First Country To Replace 10% of Its Workforce With Robots
Posted by msmash on Tuesday December 03, 2024 @09:30PM from the how-about-that dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report:

A new report suggests South Korea is the first country to have replaced 10% of its workforce with robots to tackle its shrinking population due to its low birth rate, reports Independent.

For every 10,000 employees, South Korea now has 1,102 robots, making the country number one in the world in using technology instead of human labour to do tasks, according to the annual survey by World Robotics 2024.

South Korea now has twice the number of robots working in its factories than any other country in the world. Only Singapore has been close to South Korea regarding robots, with 770 of such technology per 10,000 workers.

Saludos.

No conozco mucho Corea, aunque viví en Japón bastantes años. Si esto pasara en España, dormiría tranquilo sabiendo que es otra payasada y otro subterfugio de Sánchez para intentar mantenerse en el poder a toda costa.

Igual van por ahí los tiros.

Ojalá se acuerden de reclutar „voluntariamente“ a aquellos que estaban repitiendo y difundieron el discurso propagandístico de la OTAN también en este grupo.
En breve podrán hacer una demostración en vivo de lo tan superior que son nuestras armas y soldados en comparación con las de Rusia.

Trump’s Economic Challenge in Four Charts

Lean el articulo para entender las cifras y las soluciones

Extractos,

Shown below are “real imports of goods” (deflated by the import price index) versus “real retail sales” (deflated by the Consumer Price Index). Each increment in consumer demand was met by an increment in imports.



Despite the efforts of both the Trump and Biden administrations to stimulate American manufacturing, output hasn’t increased over the past 10 years.



Meanwhile, manufacturing productivity (output per hour) has been falling since the Great Recession of 2008-2009; American industry is becoming less competitive, not more, as the dotted line in the chart below indicates. The solid line shows capital intensity (the application of machinery and intellectual property to manufacturing), which has stagnated since 2008. This explains the drop in productivity.


The United States has made one major recent attempt to hothouse an industry, namely the Biden administration’s CHIPS and Science Act’s subsidies for domestic production of semiconductors. This prompted a boom in plant construction. But the requisite skilled labor wasn’t available, and the cost of new plant construction jumped by nearly 30 percent between 2022 and 2023. Many CHIPS projects were canceled or delayed for years. The necessary inputs simply weren’t there.




As this makes clear, money by itself isn’t enough. Tariffs give domestic manufacturers a price advantage over foreign competitors, but if the tax system penalizes capital-intensive investment, the educational system doesn’t train workers, and regulators persecute manufacturers, they won’t produce at any price.

(,,,)

What do we have to do?

1    The corporate tax system (including the 2017 reform) penalizes capital-intensive investment. Allow corporations to write off the whole investment in equipment in the year it’s invested.
2    Offer low-interest student loans for degrees in hard science, math, and engineering, and forgive the loan if the student teaches in grade school for six years.
3    Use the community-college system to train high-school graduates in industrial skills, in partnership with private industry.
4    Restore federal R&D funding to Reagan levels (about 1.3 percent of GDP, double what it is now).
5    Slash environmental regulation to fast-track plant construction.
6    Protect key industries (like electric vehicles) with tariffs, but don’t impose tariffs across the board; that will raise the cost of capital inputs for US businesses and hurt consumers.
7    Build a national 5G (and now 6G) broadband network, a critical factor in industrial automation.
