Живеем в Не!Новините... 🥲
Подобни на домашни климатици, които стърчат над кабините на ватманите на трамваите в София? Не, не е шега. Турски климатици за по 8595 лв. без ДДС ще монтира общинското дружество Столичен електротранспорт ЕАД върху „до“ 70 стари трамвая. Цената изглежда сравнително висока. Намирам почти същите в Амазон за 805 евро. Не може уред с монтаж, който изглежда да може да се монтира и в камион, кемпер, ван и т.н. да струва в пъти повече, отколкото се намира на свободния пазар. Дори не искам да коментирам факта, че са сложили вертикални, а не хоризонтални външни тела. Климатиците са на турската фирма Webasto Thermo Comfort İklimlendirme Sis. Tic. Ltd. Şti. от град Маниса. Изпълнителят на обществената поръчка е „Кампус М“ ЕООД, представлявано от Мустафа Кадир Мустафа. Фирмата ще получи за климатиците 601 650 лв без ДДС и е единствен участник по тази обособена позиция. Към 2021 г. има само двама служителя и 65 000 лв оборот. През 2024 оборотът ѝ е скочил почти 10 пъти с поръчката на Столичен електротранспорт ЕАД. В никакъв случай не отричам нуждата от климатизация на кабините на ватманите. Имаме нужда от нов подвижен състав - трамваи, тролеи, авотбуси. Работа е на ръководствата на общинските транспортни фирми да търсят финансиране. Ще добавя и че в трамвай 20 например все още няма никаква климатизация през лятото и почти всички прозорци са отворени, за да не прегреят пътниците.

“A journalist should never join the Establishment, no matter how tempting the blandishments. It is our job to hold power to account, not join it.” ― Frederick Forsyth, The Outsider: My Life in Intrigue
A pilot who turned to writing to clear his debts, British author Frederick Forsyth, who died Monday aged 86, penned some 20 spy novels, often drawing on real-life experiences and selling 70 million copies worldwide ➡️ u.afp.com/SGrs

Well, I’ve officially lived a long life because people are excited Germany is rearming.

I would define the best skill an investor can have as “uncompromising humility”. That’s the ability to assume your highest conviction idea can be wrong, and let this have a near zero impact on your mood and process.

Random data find. While computers displacing TVs within Americans' recreational consumption expenditure is rather "captain obvious", another group's share stays flat all the way from the 1960s: sporting equipment, supplies, guns, and ammunition More data and tools @CEICData1

#Germany's economy is struggling and Eastern Europe braces for negative spillover effects, as #exports of those countries to Germany account for large part of their total exports. #Czechia tops the list, sending 32% of its exports to #DE. For Bulgaria this % is lower: 15.7%

#Russian #exports now and then (pre-war). Non-surprisingly, #China, #India and #Turkey eclipsed the #EU and the #UK. The selected economies in the treemaps accounted for 85% of Russia's exports as of 2021.

After the invasion in #Ukraine, Russia stopped publishing breakdowns of its foreign trade, neither by partner, nor by product. Here we have IMF data: imports from Russia, reported by the partner countries. On @CEICData1 platform, you can easily build visuals like these.

And a bonus chart, highlighting where my native #Bulgaria stands, and EU and NATO member state, by the way. Bulgaria increased its imports from Russia by 6% in Jan-Nov 2023 compared to the same period in 2021. #Eurozone's imports from Russia dropped by 73% over the same period.

I have always considered myself very lucky for not having a sweet tooth. Nowadays even more so, as #cocoa #futures are skyrocketing. The question is when those prices will feed through to the final consumer, not if.

At @CEICData1 we monitor daily environmental data in #IvoryCoast, the world's top cocoa producer by far, to look for silver linings about the harvest in West Africa and the cocoa futures prices outlook.

The ASEAN-6 nations (#Singapore, #Indonesia, #Malaysia, #Thailand, the #Philippines, and #Vietnam) shift from the #UnitedStates to #China, as their main import source since the 1990s is a stark indicator of changing global trade dynamics #ASEAN6 #imports #exports #foreigntrade

By 2023, China's exports to these nations tripled those from the U.S., hitting USD 330 billion versus USD 100 billion from the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. This pivot underscores the evolving geopolitical landscape and China's expanding influence in Southeast Asia.
