9,000,000 dollars that prevented a major catastrophe in the great recession

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

On October 28, 1929, the Down Jones index collapsed almost 13%. It was one of the most devastating days of Wall Street and the ‘Black Monday‘who marked the Great Depression of 1930. The consequences worldwide were devastating, but it is a cyclical that was repeated in 2008 and that He threatened just a month ago. The financial crisis of 2008 was one of the greatest economic shocks in recent history, and in it there was a history as chanante as representative of the operation of the banks. The 9,000 million dollars check. Collapse. He Origin of the recession was … United States. The banks spent years emitting massively high -risk mortgages (credits to individuals who were not going to be able to pay them) and packaged those operations as opaque products and poorly qualified by valuation agencies (they had more risk than it was said). They were the calls “Toxic assets“That banks and funds from all over the world had bought. It is what caused rampant speculation and an artificial real estate bubble. And all the elements led to the fall of several financial institutions as powerful as Lehman Brothers. The banks stopped lending money, affecting both the entities and companies themselves. There was no money, the stock market fell into chopped jobs and governments had to inject billions to avoid the collapse of the financial system. Aid! Between it was Morgan Stanleyone of the world’s largest investment banks (the US Big Four with Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sach and Merrill Lynch) who needed the same as the rest of the entities: a rescue. The great independent entities sought how to get billions to continue operating, and the state of Morgan Stanley It was critical. After flirting with some banks, including a Chinese controlled by the state, they put their hopes in Mitsubishi UFJ. It is one of Japan’s biggest banks and, after intense negotiations, agreed to inject a stratospheric amount. 9,000 million. It is said soon, but with that figure they would get 21% of Morgan Stanley and an annual dividend of 10%. They would be done with a good piece of the American banking cake and Morgan Stanley could continue to operate, but there was a problem: there was no way that the amount arrived in time to avoid collapse. In fact, everything pointed in one address: if that money did not arrive, the bank would disappear. Time ran against a Morgan Stanley who, in a matter of days, saw how his shares fell from 60 dollars to less than $ 10. Transfer and holidays. We were in 2008 and the methods were the same as today (that does not speak well of traditional banking, precisely). The negotiation between the entities was urgently held a weekend and if you are one of those who make transfers, you already know what that means: banks do not make transfers on the weekend or holidays. Due to Columbus dayIn addition, they were going to be closed until Tuesday and, in addition, a transfer took between two and three days. It may, by then, Morgan Stanley no longer existed. In addition, the entity needed to make the announcement of the fusion as soon as possible to relieve the load a bit and show the investors that there was light at the end of the tunnel. The solution was as archaic as effective: paper and boli. Of joke. In the negotiation, one of the members of the Morgan Stanley team commented a “what a pity that you cannot simply extend a check. account That attendees laughed, but it was a laugh followed by something like “a moment, it can work.” And what if it worked: if Mitsubishi could face extending a check of 9,000 million dollars, nothing prevented Morgan from depositing it at the bank before the markets opened on Tuesday morning. Thus, they could announce the fusion, they would have the money on the account, the investors would be happy and the end of the story. Round. Japanese negotiators called the central, they found that they did have the ability to extend that check and the result was as follows: A role that guaranteed that Morgan Stanley received an injection of 9,000,000 dollars and that caused an increase in the price of shares of $ 9.68 to $ 17.92 when the markets opened on Tuesday. The operation had gone well for both and today, Morgan Stanley has a capitalization of 190,000 million, while Mitsubishi’s investment today exceeds 40,000 million. A round business that, rather than for history itself, is curious for how a piece of paper (the most expensive in history, could be?) It was imposed on the limitations of the Banks computer system. In fact, in the documentary that the firm made About their history a few years ago, they recognize the most important of this matter: they were lucky.

In the middle of the cold war, the yoke had the honor of becoming “the worst car in history.” Threat with returning as electric

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

It was manufactured for almost thirty years and those who remember it do so with that half smile that only brings you the nostalgia and paternalism of those who love a child knowing that his brother is much smarter. It will return in 2027 in electrical format and retain some of its hallmarks. Hopefully, for the good of all, that it does not retain all its hallmarks. We talk about the yoke, a car that became famous in the Soviet Yugoslavia and that will return to life in 2027 in purely electric format. At least That is what Serbian businessman Aleksandar Bjelić wants. Congratulations, has created the worst car in history Small, simple, affordable … Soviet. The yoke was one of those cars that went down in history on the other side of the steel curtain for its proposal to motorize the masses. Like the Riva Lada in Russia or the Trabant in the Berlin and Communist Germany, the Yugo was part of the history of Yugoslavia during the 80s. In fact the car survived the country itself as eThe yoke remained in production until 2008. His secret resided in the simple of the proposal. Fiat 128 shortened variant, the car was a small utility that was manufactured in Serbia. A three doors that set everything to sit the passengers on top of four wheels and in front of a steering wheel. Its origin must be sought in Kragujevac, Serbia. Over there, Zastava Automobili He assembled cars that exploded a Fiat license. That is, the same as I was doing Seat before Volkswagen passed. Among those licensed cars was the Fiat 128 that the company exploded in Yugoslavia with the novel name of Zastava 128. Jokes apart, the car was a success that added 1.5 million units sold by adding its different bodies between 1971 and 2008 when the car stopped selling. In the 80s, Zastava He decides that he has to offer a cheaper version and puts on the market the Zastava Yugo or Zastava Koral, a cut version derived from Fiat 127. The car is a success in Eastern Europe in part because of its iconic image. It has logic taking into account that the car looks like Volkswagen Golf. In fact, if we observe the first generations of both, it looks a lot at Volkswagen Golf. As much as to affirm that Giorgetto Giugiaro He should not have given the concept many turns when he was commissioned to look for a form to the yoke. Thus, with the firm of Giugiaro and the promise to put on the market a simple car the Zastava Yugo began to make a name. Under his hood he set up a simple Fiat engine of 908 cc and 45 hp. A power that gave the last name to the car when it was exported out of Serbia as a yoke 45. Later a slightly more powerful version of 1.1 liters and 55 hp would arrive. A 1.3 -liter and 65 hp option was even put on the market. As we see, it didn’t seem The car you would buy to travel large kilometers. In spite of everything, you have to understand the time and that, of course, neither Yugoslavia first nor Serbia later had to invite those kilometers. That was what Malcolm Bricklin should not have understood, the businessman who in 1985 wanted to introduce the yoke into the US market. Let’s review, a small, simplistic car and with a dwarf engine on a highway in the United States. It didn’t seem the best of ideas. And it wasn’t. “Cheap to buy. Terrible to drive”. With these words they define Hagerty from the United Kingdom to the healthy yoke that was sold in the United States as a Florida yoke. And that was a version above the aforementioned yoke 45. A car, the healthy one, which mounted a more powerful engine, in versions of 1.4 and 1.6 liters to get a better performance on the road. The lower version, that yoke 45 was sold in the United States with the name of Yugo GV. It was, by far, the cheapest car on the market. But the rolling quality was as bad that it was considered the worst car in the world. The criticisms were so bad that it quickly became a joke, it would have been a meme with wheels if at that time The word “meme” would have existed. Almost immediately, the car was made a hole in the hearts of the fans. In fact, you can find a book written by Jason Vuic entitled exactly like this: Yoke. Boom and fall of the worst car in history. The fascination was huge by a car that simply accounted for breakdowns due to pairs and offered poor results in security tests. So bad was the experience that was the car with the worst note of customer satisfaction in the prestigious JD Power in 1986. Precisely In JD Power they explain that in the Consumer Reports analysis it was specified that “the car dragged up to 100 km/h” and that in the best case the peak speed reached 86 mph (about 138 km/h). But those criticisms arrived after many buyers had already done with the car. A yoke giving everything Its price was so low that they sold more than 1,000 units on the first day. Then, the nightmare of the owners began. The spark plugs collapsed Because the United States gasoline was not adequate, the distribution strap had to be repaired at 30,000 miles (about 48,000 kilometers). Little by little, the ear mouth extended and the lawsuit plummeted. So plumme that according to the American portal they were sold with 2×1 offers despite its low price, with the idea of the concessionaire to take them off as soon as possible. The performance was so bad that in 1992 the American subsidiary of the company broke. However, the car continued its performance in Serbia. The company came to 2008 When it … Read more

At the beginning of the 20th century European roads were a dust hell

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

We complain a lot about them, but the asphalt is that Gray web that joins towns and cities around the world. Today are something we take for granted, but the roads we know Today they have just a century behind them. Beyond allowing the “soft” passage of vehicles, it was the element that allowed the car expansion At the beginning of the 20th century. And we owe everything to an accident in a town in England and dust hateors. John Loudon McAdam He was a Scottish engineer who had a vocation: build roads. He dedicated his life to perfecting these routes because he realized one thing: the traditional stone and earth were easily embodied and the maintenance was constant. In other parts of Europe the roads were also being perfected, but their method, baptized as ‘Macadán’ was the one who imposed. His idea was to raise the roads a bit and give them some inclination so that the water was stored on the sides. To make them more “waterproof”, stone and gravel were crushed and compacted. That was covered with a layer of sand and seems simple, but it was a revolution. Macadán road Macadan’s roads were smoother than stone, it was more resistant and drained better. In addition, it was cheap, so it seemed like a Win-Win For governments and passersby, right? Well … not so much. The main problem was the dust that constantly rose due to that outer sand layer, but soon the natural enemy of the macadan came: the self -propelled vehicle. The first cars were many things, but of course they were not popular. Not everyone could afford a car, but who did one had to spend some time shaking the dust after a trip along Macadán’s roads. The dust is not a friend of speed, since it is impregnated in the mechanical components, in the clothes and enters through the nasal and mouthpieces of the drivers and passengers. The chance that gave rise to modern roads Mcadam’s contribution was great, but also hit by the new century. This is how Edgar Purnell Hooley enters this story. This Welsh inventor was walking a good day of 1901 along a Derbyshire County road when he realized that part of the road was covered with something black. When he asked what had happened, he was told that a carriage had lost a barrel of tar, spilling on the road and, to try to cover it, someone poured a scum of nearby furnaces. The mixture had solidified and, without pretending, had created a section of smooth road, no dust or potholes. Hooley was lit the bulb and, neither short nor lazy, patented in 1902 the process of heating tar, mixing it with sand, crushed stone and other elements and compacting it. It was baptized as ‘Tarmacadam’ and it is the element that revolutionized the roads for that new ‘animal’: motorized horses. It seemed the ideal solution by reducing dust, having much lower maintenance than the macadan and maintaining those resistance properties to the inclement weather. Besides, Little by little it was improved adding resins and portland cement to the mixture. They soon wanted to try that ‘miracle’ and the Radcliffe Road de Nottingham converted on the first paved road in the world. The Babylonians already used the asphalt to perform some processes, but Hooley’s technique to mix scum and tar was the real revolution on the roads Launching tar in the London of the IGM Those eight kilometers showed that Tarmacadam was the mobility solution of the new century, but the car revolution was not only occurring in England. At the same time that Hooley patented his idea, Alberto I of Monaco confessed that he was fed up with the dust raised by the cars. Dust covered tourism was not attractive, so he asked a Swiss doctor named Ernest Guglielminetti to do something. “We only breathe dust, the flowers suffer and it is absolutely necessary to do something. Would you have any idea?” That was his Challenge/Prayer For Guglielminetti, who had an idea. He recalled that, during his work in Indonesia, part of the hospital floor was composed of wooden planks covered with tar to facilitate cleaning. So, he proposed to spread a mixture of hot tar, sand and records along forty meters in part of the land road surrounding the oceanographic museum. It was a success and they began to asphalt other roads. In addition, tar was abundant because it was a residue of gas plants for municipal lighting that, until it began to take advantage of roads, was thrown … into the sea. Guglielminetti and his machine to heat the tar Unlike Hoolyy, Guglielminetti did not patent absolutely anything, but remained very active perfecting the tar mixture, even participating in the First International Road Congress held in 1908 in Paris. It was there when He explained that dreamed with a network of thousands of kilometers of paved roads connecting all the countries of the world. The conclusion of that congress was that tar was the ideal solution, but before it, there was already a League against dust that promoted the benefits of the asphalting. Everything developed quite fast, something logical if we take into account that the car also began to popularize. Putting Spain as examplein 1900 there were three cars enrolled. In 1905 there were already 275, but in 1910 the figure was almost 4,000. That rapid evolution and adoption of the car required a renovation of roads. With the passage of time, the tar stopped used Due to its adverse health effects, being replaced by oil derivatives, but maintaining the basis of what Hoolyy and Guglielminetti devised. And, returning to the Welsh inventor, the story did not end too well. Tarmac registered as a brand and founded the TAR Macadam Syndicate Ltd, but he was not a businessman and sold Sir Alfred Hickman. In addition to Wolverhampton parliamentarian, he had a siderurgy, so the scorus for the asphalting came out for free. He … Read more

A young computer scientist was looking for work. So “hacked” LinkedIn to always receive offers first

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

The youth of generation Z face serious difficulties in starting their work career in a labor market so competitivein which for Each job offer hundreds or thousands of candidates are presented. Find The slightest advantage To highlight in job requests it is fundamental. Michael Yan, a 25 -year -old founder and CEO from Simplify, has shared A trick on LinkedIn which allowed him to receive job offers from large companies such as Meta, Microsoft and Google. This method allowed him to access before the rest of vacancies candidates, thus increasing the possibilities of being hired Faced with other candidates. Yan’s trick. Like Yan told to Business InsiderIn 2018, the young manager was in his first year of computer science at Stanford University and was looking for companies to do his first practices. Given its technological training, Yan warned that the URL address of the LinkedIn Employment Section showed an “86400”. That number is not accidental: it is the number of seconds that have 24 hours a day. Therefore, when Yan asked LinkedIn the job offers of “the last 24 hours”, he always showed him those that had been published the day before, not in the last hours. A simple change to be the first. From that discovery, Yan accessed LinkedI’s employment tab and made a search for the professional profile that demanded and applied the filter “publication date” to “last 24 hours”. Then, the number “86400” of the URL address in the browser bar for “3600” changed, which is the seconds that have an hour. In this simple way, the young candidate “hacked” LinkedIn’s job search obtaining the offers published in the last hour, so that always He was one of the first candidates in postulating for vacancies. “I got job offers in Meta and Google because I postulated offers a few hours after they were published,” said the young manager in his publication. Access to better opportunities. Yan discovered that manually modifying these URLs could access the newest offers before other users, which placed their curriculum among the first in the list, causing their hiring options to improve considerably. Although this trick does not guarantee that a company hires someone for a position for which It is not preparedit does offer an important advantage in the selection process. Many companies establish an order of arrival to review the candidacies, so being among the first to apply will place you among the first to do your job interview. That served him to do your practices In the best technological companies. Any advantage is welcome. According to a report of Handshake of 2024, 57 % of the Z generation that will be incorporated into the labor market in 2025 is pessimistic about the start of its careers. 63% ensure that pessimism comes from an extremely competitive labor market. The data suggests that these newly graduated young people have already sent 24 % more employment requests than last year students of the previous year. Although skills and experience remain crucial, response time can be decisive to advance the selection. According The published by Business InsiderAndrew McCashill, expert in professional racing in LinkedIn, said that “being one of the first to run, especially for jobs you really want or for those who are super qualified, should undoubtedly be part of a job search strategy.” In Xataka | A LinkedIn function opens a debate that divides recruiters: the #Pentowork label Image | Unspash (Sign Pratama)

We are in 2025 and millions of men worldwide continue to deny one thing: shorts

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

In a couple of months I have a wedding. And although I still don’t know what I will wear exactly (suit, I don’t suit), I am clear: I will not go in shorts. Nor will I get them out of the closet for my next working meeting, or for food with former schoolmates, or surely for my next family dinner, just as I did not do any of the 11 years I worked in an office. Well seen, in my day to day there are few moments for the shorts, let’s not say the Bermuda. And mine is not a unique case. The relationship between shorts and men It is not simple And (almost) at the doors of summer maybe it is a good time to ask the big question: why? “Only for tennis or beach”. A few years ago the reporter Jefferson Hack, from the magazine Anotherhe asked the designer and filmmaker Tom Ford to give him Some lessons simple to be “a modern gentleman.” He quoted five and one reserved it specifically to talk about the garment that, in his opinion, any man must handle cautiously: shorts. “A man should never use them in the city. Chanclas and shorts are never appropriate in the city. They should only be used on the tennis or beach,” He collected Hack in his Pentalog. Is it the only one who thinks like that? No. For more prestige that Ford has won in the fashion world, his opinions are just that: opinions. However, it is not alone in his posture on the scarce male pants. In ABC of Men´s Fashion The deceased Hardy Amiesanother heavyweight in the design world, also pronounced Roundly On the subject: “A man should never wear shorts, except when he is on the beach or during a walk.” The list of designers and professionals of the fashion world who look suspiciously the short man-pavement binomial is wide and encompasses many other names. Nicolas Gabard I recently confessed that you never saw them, the comedian Brian Park He joked in another podcast ensuring that they should be used “only to do sports or aquatic activities” and a quick search on Google reveals a good handful of articles with A similar toneof editors convinced that a man I should never put on shorts to go to work or that garment It has no place in the closet of a gentleman. “Made me reflect”. The trend is sufficiently pronounced (and curious) so that it has given rise to analysis in media like The country or the magazine GQwhere a few days ago Daniel Varghese signed an article in which he launches a question in the air: “Shirts, why do so many men refuse to take them?” The piece is interesting because, in addition to remembering the opinions of Tom Ford or Gabard, Varghese shares own opinions and some friends. And while they do not deny shortThey do admit that they do not face it with the same approach as the rest of the garments. “A few weeks ago I extracted from my closet the trunk where I keep my summer clothes. I took almost everything without thinking, but there was a garment that made me reflect: some Patagonia Baggies,” Remember Varghese: “He had begun to assimilate the idea that men should never wear shorts.” After consulting with other colleagues he found that they agreed that they only carry shorts In certain contexts (as in very sunny days), they do not feel comfortable with them or even are childish. “I would feel ridiculous”. A similar exercise made in 2019 in SMODA Beatriz Serrano, who asked some men what they thought about the possibility of presenting themselves to their bosses with shorts. The answers go in a similar line. “The offices are formal places where some composure must be kept,” I commentedA 33 -year -old journalist. “The clothing standards can be lightened a bit in summer, but the Bermuda are out of the equation in any case, as well as going in a swimsuit or flip flops (…). There are hundreds of light tissues with which to cover the legs and not look like a kid in the courtyard of the school.” Another man, engineer, about to meet 40, It showed Even more reluctant: “I honestly, I am not comfortable. I would feel ridiculous with the Patorras in the air in my office (…). I am both afraid of seeing me in short pants and seeing the calves of my classmates. “In other cultures, such as the Japanese, it is not usual to meet men in shorts except when they do sports, as you collect The style guide of Inside Tokyo. Why these misgivings? That is the question that was asked just a year ago Guillermo Arenas in in Icon And his response goes beyond aesthetic, cultural or functional issues: he connects directly with the chronicle of the last centuries and “a mixture of puritanism, clash of classes and chance.” After all, the pants (like any other garment) is fashion, but also history. The rise of the bourgeoisie was accompanied by the consecration of the pants to the ankles and the short He went to associate with very specific areas, such as school uniforms. The result is an association that is still maintained today. “They are childish,” Recognize Photographer Daniel Arnold to Vogue. “I feel a giant child.” Another factor that indicates Arenas is its contestant capacity and the use that has been given to the garment in recent decades between rock bands (with fallen and cut shorts) or the gay community. An immovable norm? If something is good for fashion, it is to reinvent and knock up pre -established norms. And with the shorts it could happen exactly that. There are those who have been Wondering openly why a man cannot go to work in shorts And in recent years, prominent names of the world of cinema or fashion have been seen wearing the garment in important quotes.

China is one of the countries that is most promoting the adoption of renewable energy thanks to Great ‘farms’ and market saturation of solar panels. At the same time, they have approved the Construction of ten new nuclear reactors. It may seem a contradiction, but in the midst of a Strong commercial warit is another step in energy self -sufficiency, and to achieve it they will need tons of uranium. Your solution? Squeeze the uranium of the seas. Marine mine. The country account with 56 nuclear reactors and has between 25 and 29 under construction. This implies that they need a lot of Uranium and the problem is that they do not produce enough. HE esteem That, in 2023, China’s production was only 1,700 tons, 4% worldwide, and although they have strong reserves, they need more. In turn, China imported Some 22,000 tons in 2024 and have begun to put solutions. In 2024 began The construction of the National Project of Uranium Nº1 in Ordos. It will become the largest uranium mine in the country and a few months ago They announced that had discovered another important site, also in Ordos. However, it still is not enough, so they have seen the sea. Uranium fish. Because yes: there is uranium in the oceans. Its concentration is extremely low, about 3 micrograms per liter, but due to oceanic immensity, it is estimated that the total is 4.5 billion tons of uranium. There are a thousand times more uranium in the seas than in known land reserves. Extract Uranium from the sea is not something new and, during the 80s, Japan led the development of marine uranium extraction techniques. The problem is that it is a complex and, above all, inefficient process. That is why researchers focus on active uranium collection methods‘dapando’ different materials to be able to extract more material per liter. It is also a expensive method, about ten times more to extract it from terrestrial sources. Miraculous material. But this is where the Chinese team of the Frontiers Science Center For Rare isotopes of the University of Lanzhou enters. In a study published in NatureThey explain that the key to extracting more efficient marine uranium resides in the MOF, or metal-organic frameworks. It is a crystalline material composed of metal ions that are coordinated with organic elements to form structures of great porosity. It is like an extremely efficient fishing network to catch small particles that, in the case of uranium, allows you to better separate this element from others to which it can be attached. The Chinese team has dopa with Dipniletinelo molecules and claim that this new DAE-MOF material allows an uranium absorption capacity of 588 mg per gram, according to the tests. This involves an efficiency 40 times higher when separating uranium from metals and vanadium and has been tested both in simulated and real sea water. Aim. The idea is now to create test extraction plants this year, with pilot plants on the tons scale for 2035 and with a continuous production by 2050. wait That China’s demand for uranium is more than 40,000 tons in 2040, so land mines in conjunction with these marine alternative sources are essential to achieve the goal. Without a doubt, it is an advance in marine uranium extraction at a time when the rest of the players on this board are also found Looking for ways to get more out of the sea for energy independence at a time when buying to other countries He has put up legs. And the United States, of course, is also in that fight, with the US Department of Energy analyzing The technical, economic and environmental viability of large -scale uranium extraction in its waters.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on May 10

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

The weekend arrives. And with the weekend on Saturday. And with Saturday the Sabatino does not circulate today. Because, indeed, one more week we have active today does not circulate of the most special day of the week, the day on which restrictions are more problematic. In this article we will try to describe the restrictions that you will find with the program devised by the Ministry of Environment of the CDMX (Sedema) with which we try to improve the quality of the air we breathe. A quality that suffers with the advance of cars. Therefore, what are clear with the application of this Today does not circulate It is that some cars have to stay at home for the good of all. What are those cars? Those who decide the restrictions and are specified below. But first, remember that everything we are going to talk about from now on only applies in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbed municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Having these simple clear bases: what restrictions are we found? Well, simply, that some cars cannot circulate. What are they? It depends on each week, as you are going to check in the next lines. Because as you can see in the image superior, every day the restrictions of today do not circulate are applied depending on the hologram and, in some cases, of the latest plaque. That is what must be taken into account for Saturdays. And this day the following conditions occur: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. With these clear basic notes, how do we know if in today’s wise we do not circulate at home or we can circulate without problem? Very simple: looking at the first hologram and the plate number later … if it touches us. To begin with, cars with hologram 2 rest every Saturday, there is not one that can move. On the contrary, those of Hologram 0 and 00 can circulate whenever they want because cars are considered less pollutants. So, it is those of hologram 1 that have to pay more attention. It is exactly these cars that rotate week by week and, therefore, do not always have to stay at home and cannot always circulate. It will depend on the latest issue of its plaque. The week of the Saturday, May 10, 2025 The cars with Hologram 2 and those of Hologram 1 will have to rest with a plaque finished in even number since we are in the second week of May. Next Saturday, being the third week of May will be the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number those that rest. However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

A metal fence 4.8 meters high and a door with security camera. That was the spark of a legal dispute that involves a property of West Lake Hills, an exclusive residential area on the outskirts of Austin, Texas. The house is linked to Elon Musk, According to information obtained by The New York Timesalthough it appears in the name of a limited society called Stratford House LLC. A property in the spotlight. The property was acquired in 2022 by this society and since then has been in the center of an urban controversy. According to municipal records, the structures were built without the required permits, contravening the local code. The case was discussed on April 16 in a session of the Zoning and Planning Commission, whose public act includes all the details. The Commission voted against granting the requested exceptions and the matter will now go to the City Council, at a meeting scheduled for June 11, after the applicant asked for a postponement. The before and after, captured by Street View. Google Street View images help visually draw the change. In a capture taken in 2018, the area appears without visible security elements. There is no metal door or closed structures, and in the background you can see a partially exposed building, as well as two vehicles parked on an open platform. View from Street View from an area close to the housing related to Elon Musk: before the reforms (2018) and then (2024) However, in the view corresponding to 2024, the environment has changed substantially. The entrance has been replaced by a metal door, accompanied by at least one visible surveillance chamber. In another capture you can see an imposing wooden door that did not exist in previous records. These transformations would have been carried out without municipal permission. View from Street View from an area close to the housing related to Elon Musk: before the reforms (2018) and then (2024) A story that has changed. All this contrasts with the image that Musk projected in 2021, When he said he lived in a prefabricated house in Boca Chicarented to Spacex, and that the only house of its property was a home for events in the San Francisco area. However, the aforementioned media maintains that the businessman has added at least three mansions in recent yearsamong them this controversial residence. The interior of the prefabricated booth in Boca Chica Beyond an urban issue. The controversy has also revolved around the privacy of the process. According to Correos obtained by the American newspaper, representatives of the alleged owner tried to persuade local authorities to keep the case secret. They argued that, due to their relationship with the Donald Trump government, it should be considered a “federal public official” and that both records and communications with the city were exempt from transparency laws. The city lawyer rejected the petition, protecting himself in the Texas Open Meetings Law. An additional request signed by lawyer Inna Kplun was also dismissed, in which he claimed that the presence of armed security personnel, including federal sheriffs, justified to deal with the matter outside the public scrutiny. The day everything came to light. As Kxan points outDuring the April 16 hearing, the owner’s representatives submitted six exception requests to the Municipal Code, including the five -meter high fence. They recognized that the structures were installed without permission in 2022, when the house was bought. Several neighbors expressed their rejection. The process is still open. But what began as a series of discreet reforms in a property associated with the employer has ended up becoming a public issue, exposed to detail in acts, internal emails and official documents. All in one of the most exclusive areas of Texas, where privacy also has its limits.
