Michael Crawley has some advice for running in his new book "Out of Thin Air," describing his experiences running in the high altitude conditions of Ethiopia. There one does not run on roads but in backcountry conditions. Runners do not go fast to conserve energy in the thin air. Crawley is preparing for the Commonwealth Games in 2022. Running uphill has some special benefits during the pandemic, because of the benefits to health. And it helps to keep out distracting thoughts and just put on shoes, then get out and run. This could also apply to walking or hiking uphill in backcountry.

This NYT report shows how Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, decided to first put off any indictment a year ago because he was not convinced about the evidence being strong enough in other areas. It was after hiring a new team, bringing in additional prosecutors and resources, and studying different areas of evidence on different issues that he settled on the one related to the hush money payments to a porn actress. It is at that point that the information for the indictment was put together for the grand jury, a year later.

San Diego Padres go all in for hiring the best players with a huge budget of $250 million. Diamond Networks is setup by Sinclair Broadcast Group with $8 billion of borrowed money to finance aggressive sports television expansion including major league baseball. The Padres depend on Sinclair's spending for television broadcast rights which are turned over to Comcast cable television and other cable providers, who face reduced subscribers because of cord cutting and people shifting to streaming services as cable television becomes prohibitively expensive. At some point the costly deals arranged by Sinclair cannot find buyers and it goes into bankruptcy.

The Russian central bank under Elvira Nabiullina raises interest rates by 3.5% to 12%. In the first 5 months of 2023 the Russian government spent 50% more in rubles than in the same period in 2022. The increase in spending meant increase in wages and more hiring for production of goods including production for the war effort. The policy was to carry on the war effort without the effects of the war being felt by ordinary Russian citizens. The result has been higher inflation at 7.6%. Nabiullina faces a unique set of challenges to control inflation, maintain the economy even as Russia continues the war effort in Ukraine.

Opinion | Russia Will Miss the World Order Putin Upended

Was Russia better off in 2021 than after the invasion of Ukraine. Was it better for upward mobility, health, openness of the economy and growth, and standards of living. Was the US perceived as a hegemon when it also lacked control of its own companies that preferred to invest elsewhere and ignored US workers for a long time. This report in the WSJ asks whether it is not true that not just Russia, but the US, the EU, China, India, other large nations faced a world order that was in many ways difficult, not to their liking, and in some ways posed risks for their countries.

100% pure rip-off? New Zealand voted second-worst place to move to

  
The Guardian - 07.14.2022 Original article ›
LyrArc Article Gist
A survey of immigrants all over the world asked about their new living standards shows Mexico at the top with Taiwan, Portugal and Spain. And Kuwait at the bottom. Surprise is that New Zealand ranks next to Kuwait at the bottom. The reason is the high cost of living and jobs not paying enough, fewer opportunities, a growing rich poor divide. New Zealand ranks high in the natural environment and climate, yet the cost of living is too high in relation to salaries. New Zealand ranked below global averages in worklife- in feeling fairly paid for work, seeing purpose in work, or liking workhours. By comparison Australia ranks ninth from the top- for the economy, compensation and work hours.

China’s Banks Are Hiding More Than $2 Trillion in Loans

Chinese banks have 20% of total loans as receivable in 2016, up from 6% at the end of 2011, according to WSJ analysis. Many banks disguise loans as receivables. The government regulators have warned about this, but are hesitant to take strong action so that there is no shock to the system. This has created a parallel buildup of debt next to official debt of over 250% of GDP. These are seen as "hidden credit risks" by Shang Fulin, top banking regulator. As a result about $2 trillion is missing from broad measures of credit reported by the central bank, according to economists at UBS, using shadow lenders to mask loans as investments.

White-Collar Recession: Why Job Cuts Are Hitting Professional Workers

  
WSJ - 01.10.2023 Original article ›
LyrArc Article Gist
Companies in retail, construction  entertainment sectors made layoffs in the first 2 years of the pandemic. White collar workers worked remotely and were not affected that much. In 2023 the layoffs are now affecting professionals and white collar workers. White collar workers are also paid more which creates savings for companies when they layoff higher paid professionals who do not perform critical tasks. In manufacturing and blue collar worker industries there are not many layoffs because companies are hoarding these workers as there are worker shortages. Many workers retired in manufacturing and blue collar leading to shortages in these sectors. Because this is not typical in the layoffs and hiring cycles seen previous to the pandemic this is an unusual situation.

Aalborg, Denmark, is the third largest city after Copenhagen and Aarhus in Denmark. It is located in Jutland in the far north of the country. It is one of the cities in Europe best known for its transformation from an industrial city making cement, boilers and other products to one of the largest makers of wind turbines in the world.
