either you tell him how much money you earn or there is no pension

Social Security will apply from 2026 more rigorous control on non-contributory retirement and disability pensions, activating a mechanism already provided for in the regulations. The key is simple: those who do not submit the annual income statement during the first quarter of the year will stop receive your pension until they regularize the situation. In this way, the Administration ensures that all recipients of these aid really continue to meet the economic requirements to receive them. Differences between contributory and non-contributory pension. First of all, it is worth making an important qualification in this new measure. As and how do they clarify from La Moncloa, contributory pensions are granted to those who they have quoted enough throughout their entire working life. The legal age, the years of contributions and the contribution bases determine the final amount of that pension. Once that pension is recognized, the annual personal income they do not modify the law. Instead, the non-contributory pensions They work differently since the beneficiary has not provided prior contributions. They are precisely designed for people who have not had a sufficient working career to access a contributory benefit, or have not contributed directly. In this case, the decisive element is not the working life, but the lack of resources to survive. The system only guarantees this aid as long as the beneficiary can demonstrate that they continue to meet the financial requirements. Social Security improves the verification system. In 2026, no requirement is added that was not already contemplated in the existing regulations, but Social Security has reinforced the mechanism that is responsible for verifying the requirements of beneficiaries. If they cannot be verified due to lack of data, the benefit is no longer paid. He article 368 of the Social Security Law establishes that “the beneficiary must present, in the first quarter of each year, a declaration of the income of the respective economic unit of which he is a part, referring to the immediately preceding year.” That is, the beneficiary of the benefit has the obligation to demonstrate annually that his or her family income meets the requirements to receive it. This certificate must be sent to the Administration through a form available in the IMSERSO portalthe body that coordinates this type of benefits with the different autonomous communities. The regulations leave no room. The existence of the pension depends on the beneficiary periodically demonstrating that he or she is still in a situation of financial need. This is the reason why the system requires that the declaration be delivered during the first quarter of the year. That is, between January 1 and March 31. The failure to comply this procedure It has also been regulated for more than three decades and is included in the article 16.2 of Royal Decree 357/1991. “Failure by the beneficiary to comply with the obligation to submit the annual income declaration will result in the suspension of receipt of the pension.” In other words, if this income is not reported, Social Security will stop paying the benefit. Suspension does not eliminate the right. However, the suspension included in the regulations does not imply the loss of the right to receive it. It means that payments are stopped until the person presents documentation and proves that they meet the requirements. From that moment on, the Administration checks the declared income and, if the requirements are maintained, reactivates the payment of the pension. Reactivation may include payment of arrears, but with a limit: they can only be recovered up to three months prior to the date on which it is regularized. Starting in 2026, Social Security will apply without exception the suspension of payment when the income declaration is not submitted within the established period. It is an operational change, not a legal one. The regulations already existed, what changes is the level of control and monitoring. Hence, the annual declaration is not a formality, but rather a condition for receiving the non-contributory pension.

the household employees of the ultra-rich who earn more than Pedro Sánchez

by

In the month of April we count a trend that was beginning to circulate among that sector of civilization that is capable of having eight or more figures in the bank account. The ultra-rich, after years spending fortunes on home automation of their mansions, had decided to return to analog times by eradicating any trace of technology in homes. But it’s one thing to throw LEDs, and quite another to throw a Picasso. Because they don’t ignore works of art and luxury furniture. In fact, they pay a premium for their care. Even more than a president of the government. The art of cleaning luxury. In the universe of the richest households on the planet, cleaning is no longer a household chore: it is a painstaking science, a highly specialized skill, and a six-figure job. He told it in a extensive Bloomberg report with cases like that of Gina, who with 26 years of experience in domestic service, is today a executive housekeeper in the San Francisco Bay that wins more than $100,000 a year for taking care of mansions where each piece of furniture is a work of art. Her rise from basic cleaning to managing multimillion-dollar residences reflects a global phenomenon: the transformation of luxury cleaning into a skilled profession driven by the sophistication of contemporary design and the shortage of trained staff. In these houseserror is not measured in stains but in thousands of dollars: a miscalculated rub can destroy the original finish of a knob or the shine of a collector’s piece. In this ecosystem, cleaning requires as much technical knowledge as a kind of restorer or even a museum curator. The new frontier of cleaning. All this is understood due to the rise of high-end design, which has raised standards of domestic work at unprecedented levels. In the houses where Gina works, the objects are no longer “furniture”, but investments and fragments of history: tables by Diego Giacometti more expensive than a Ferrarisofas by Jean Royère valued in millions or pieces by François-Xavier Lalanne that reach record numbers at auctions. Cleaning them requires knowing the materials, understanding their chemical reactions and applying precise protocols. Wood, metals, fabrics, glass or rattan become conservation challenges more than hygiene challenges. Common products and tools (such as popular Swiffer) are, according to expertsenemies of conservation: they alter surfaces, remove patinas or introduce chemical residues. The correct thing to do is almost artisanal: moisten your hands, use a cotton cloth and maintain just the right humidity to trap the dust without damaging the material. The border between cleaning and disinfecting, seemingly trivial, is essential: “You cannot disinfect without cleaning first,” repeat the trainers, aware that ignorance can cost more than an annual salary. Shortages and astronomical salaries. The value of these professionals has been triggered. Before the pandemic, a housekeeper with experience maintaining luxury homes earned a few $60,000 annually. Today, that figure easily exceeds the 100,000more benefits and bonuses. In fact, demand has grown at the same pace as extreme wealth and the proliferation of delicate objects. Training companies like that of Charles MacPherson in Toronto they offer five week programs that combine communication with the employer, home security and cleanliness with contemporary design. The lack of qualified personnel has made housekeepers executives in a good scarce and coveted. To give us an idea, they remembered in Bloomberg that some are the subject of “signing” attempts by other millionaires, aware that a good professional can be the difference between preserving or ruining a collection. The competition, Gina explained.is fierce: “There are very few truly professional people in this, and many see it as a minor job.” In reality, luxury has redefined cleaning as a technical discipline where knowledge outweighs strength, and confidence outweighs hierarchy. From home to museum. The cultural change surrounding this new elite of cleaners also reflects a mutation in the relationship of the upper classes with its spaces. Billionaires’ homes have become hybrids between home and gallerywhere maintenance is part of the value of the heritage. Owners not only buy beauty, they buy responsibility: each object requires a conservation regime, and cleaning becomes an extension of curation. Here a mistake can be catastrophic: the case of the housekeeper who, when trying to “reshine” the handles of a door, removed an intentional patina and caused $75,000 damageis already a classic of the sector. In these houses, the hands that clean are not invisible: they are part of the ecosystem that protects the investment and maintains the aesthetics. The paradox is that a historically undervalued profession has become, at the top of the social pyramid, a profession as delicate and exclusive as the objects it touches. Economy of precision. The rise of cleanliness luxury to professional category highlights the contemporary logic of the market: when wealth multiplies and objects become irreplaceable, the care becomes a luxury in itself. In this environment, the shortage of trained personnel raises salaries, but also redefines the prestige of the profession. The professionalization of high-end domestic service marks a new frontier in the care economy: that of maintenance as art. If you like, Gina and her colleagues are no longer cleaners, they are guardians of heritage material of an elite that prefers to pay more than risk a unique piece. Thus, in the meticulous silence of those mansions, where each surface is worth as much as a sports car, the cotton rag has become a symbol of status, precision and trust.

“It is impossible to make an electric car with SEAT if we want to earn money”

by

The current interim CEO of the brand has put a brake on any short and medium term electrification plan for SEAT, focusing the entire electricity bet of the group in Cupra. In fact, it has been in the Munich Motor Show where some of the coupra models that will mark the future of the brand have been seen. An electric SEAT that does not arrive. “Today it is impossible to make an electric car with SEAT if we want An interview With the media. The shadow of An electric volkswagen for 20,000 euroswhich would materialize according to the company in 2027, unbalance all SEAT electrification plans. “If Volkswagen sells at that price, how much should Seat sell?” Haupt continued. The Raval Cupra makes an appearance at the IAA Mobility. Image: Cupra A two brand strategy. The decision to keep Seat out of the electrification responds to a clear commercial logic that HAUPT himself explains: “Seat today is an ideal complement to coupra, because they are in different segments, aimed at different customers.” While Cupra is positioned right now as the premium and sports brand that can assume electrification costs, Seat will remain in the field of combustion and hybridization. To this strategy is added the launch next month of The new versions of Ibiza and the Aronademonstrating that the company wants to continue betting on renewing its range of supervent vehicles. Cupra takes the electrical prominence. The group’s electric future is concentrated exclusively in Cupra, which next year will launch the ravalits entrance model from 25,000 euros with up to 450 kilometers of autonomy. This vehicle will occur in Martorell next to the Volkswagen Id.polowith an estimated capacity of 300,000 units annually between both models. HAUPT has also presented in Munich the Cupra Tindayaa concept car that will reach production “at the beginning of the next decade” and that marks the new brand design language. Of figures goes the thing. In the first semester, Seat and Cupra barely reached an operational benefit of 38 million eurosand Haupt It has been clear on the need to “reduce our cost structure.” Tariffs to the coupra tavascan manufactured in China have negatively impacted these results, although the manager is optimistic about a resolution before the end of the year after negotiations with Brussels. The future is still electric, but not for everyone. Despite how resounding his words have been with Seat, Haupt maintains that “the day will come where I suppose that the amount of electric cars will exceed combustion. That will allow us to improve component prices and make the electric car more affordable for the consumer and cheaper for us.” Meanwhile, the group continues to make the decision to play with Cupra and Seat to satisfy its entire audience.

With the bird between Galicia and Madrid cut by the fires, someone has taken advantage of it to earn money: the airlines

by

Spain burns. And Zamora, León and Ourense are taking the worst part. The number of spotlights and their virulence is such that it has forced to cut the circulation of high speed between Zamora and Galicia. Some roads are cut. Renfe does not offer a solution. And, in the background, the airlines win. Cut. Rail traffic between Zamora and Galicia is cut. Renfe has confirmed today that trains will not circulate again in what remains during the day and there is not a single glimpse of hope that The situation can be reversed in the short term. In the Last DGT updatethere are six lonely cut roads and two in Zamora. None of them correspond to the great highways such as A-6, A-66 or A-52 that structure the northwest of the country. Despite this, Renfe does not offer a bus alternative to those who cover Madrid-Zamora or Zamora-Madrid by train, only open section in the high-speed Galician corridor. What can the traveler do? Those who had a high speed ticket in the Galician corridor have three options. The first is evident, do only the section between Madrid and Zamora and then take a bus or a car to Galicia. The second is to perform the entire road tour. The fastest road is obviously the plane. Prohibitive prices. But those who are obliged to travel will find exorbitant prices to cover the distance that Madrid separates from Galicia. Especially if the traveler travels from Galician lands to Madrid. In that case, if you are in a hurry, you will have to assume the expense of more than 300 euros per ticket. Using the Skyscanner search engine, which offers all available flights and allows you to filter for price, schedule and time spent, we have sought what options are available in the short term, simulating the situation in which those who have to travel irremediably and have already hired a train will be found, trying to endure until the last moment. The results are as follows. Options with direct flight between Vigo and Madrid for Tuesday, August 19 Vigo-Madrid. Travel the August 19 between Vigo and Madrid It already costs at least 350 euros. At the moment, there are 14 alternatives available but only two of them offer a direct flight. In the week, the options relax their prices but it is still necessary to spend 237 euros if we want to travel on August 20 and between 130 and 114 euros if we want to fly between Wednesday and Friday. The cheapest ticket between Santiago de Compostela and Madrid is to make a 18 -hour scale in Seville Santiago de Compostela-Madrid. Perspectives are not much better Between Santiago de Compostela and Madrid. Making the trip tomorrow costs 331 euros. On Wednesday the price of the cheapest ticket is 299 euros and Wednesday is 231 euros. On Friday they fall below the border of 200 euros but only momentarily. The weekend is firing again above 200 euros. There is another cheaper option but, obviously, totally advisable. The cheapest flight between Santiago de Compostela and Madrid costs 249 euros and a scale of more than 15 hours in Seville. Same situation for Wednesday (with almost 22 -hour scale in Malaga) or for Thursday (this time with a stop in Barcelona). Cheaper options to fly between A Coruña and Madrid tomorrow, August 19 A Coruña-Madrid. On direct flights, The cheapest flying alternative Between Galicia and Madrid he is in A Coruña. Leaving from this airport, the ticket for tomorrow, August 19 costs 272 euros late at night. If we wanted to leave early in the morning, the border of the 300 euros is exceeded. Of course, unlike the previous cases, the rest of the week can be traveling for less than 150 euros. Almost an oasis watching the rest of Galician alternatives. Among the Madrid-Galicia flights, Vigo is the most expensive journey And from Madrid? The options from the capital are not so bleeding for the traveler’s pocket. Facing tomorrow, August 19, the tickets between Madrid and A Coruña They are below 100 euros and the rest of the week in half of this price. Similar situation will be those who travel To Santiago de Compostela. Vigo, again, is the most expensive option. In this case, the cheapest price from one day to another is 142 euros. If you want to travel in the morning, you have to pay more than 200 euros. Of course, prices the rest of the week move between 50 and 40 euros. Although there are no clear data that confirms it, everything indicates that prices from Madrid are not so high because the march of travelers from the capital is motivated by a holiday getaway that can be postponed and, nevertheless, the flow between Galicia and Madrid may be motivated by a return to the office, which entails less flexible plans. Not only Renfe. The pressure on short -term flights and the fall in later days shows that travelers are waiting until the last moment to confirm an alternative to the reserves of their trains but is also motivated by an offer that has been reduced. The voice of Galicia He pointed out a few weeks ago that Iberia had reduced her daily offer in the Galician corridor in 80 seats. To this movement we must add the Partial output of Ryanair This same year of Galician airports, offering 61% less trips in Vigo and 28% less in Santiago de Compostela. This reduction in the offer and the most expensive prices have led to a reduction in the number of passengers. In A Coruña, the number of passengers flewing at the Galician airport until last July was 0.3% higher than 2024, According to AENA data. However, the figure fell 6.5% in Vigo and 12.4% in Santiago de Compostela. Photo | Ume In Xataka | The megaindios of Ourense, Zamora and León have paralyzed the Galician bird.

Yes, to earn more money all your life

Does income education influence? Greater degree is equivalent to a better payroll at the end of the month? Are there differences for example between those who have passed or not? And between a graduate and someone with a master’s degree? They are manida questions and that in recent years have given rise to all kinds of debates, but their answer is very clear, as you have just reminded us The last report on education indicators published a few weeks ago by the Government. Shark: The formation does influence salary (and enough). Clearing unknowns. In Your report State System of Education Indicatorsprepared with data from 2022, the Ministry of Education answers (and updates) some key questions related to training in Spain. Among them an issue that usually leads to debate: Does training really influence income? Does a graduate charge more than a person who only has the ESO? Their data reflect statistical measures, but leave a clear answer: yes. A figure: 18,916 euros. From the entrance, the study recalls that in 2022 the average labor income was in Spain at 18,196 euros. That is the general ‘photo’, the average of the whole country. When we go down to detail and divide people by educational levels, the drawing changes however considerably. “Income increase as the level of training does,” The report indicateswhich recalls that those people who do not even have the first stage of ESO receive a medium job income of 11,180 euros while the most qualified professionals, who have a second university degree, a degree or master’s degree, see how that average rises to 28,468. Is there more data? Yes, there are. Those are the two extremes of The listbut among them there is a wide intermediate scale of grays in which the same pattern is maintained: the higher formation, the higher the remuneration. Those who have finished the first stage of the ESO perceive on a half labor income of 13,860 euros, those who have finished the ESO reach 15,880, those who continue to form but without going through the university are located in 18,069 and those who have a first university degree, as a diploma or grade, enter average 22,509 euros. At the top of the rental scale are people with extra training, such as masters, with 28,468 euros. Education … and something else. The study reflects that there is Other factors that clearly influence labor income, such as experience. The titles matter, but also (and not little) the years of profession. For example, among the less qualified people, who do not have ESO, there is a clear difference between the people who have just started in the labor market and have less than ten years of experience and those veterans who accumulate at least three decades of trade behind them. Among the first the average income is 9,125 euros. For the latter that same indicator is triggered until it is placed at 11,332. The same goes for graduates and graduates with master. Those who have been working for only a few years earn 18,319 euros, data that rises above 31,100 when we talk about the most breginated professionals. “In 2022, according to work experience, workers with 30 or more years of professional career receive, on average, 62.3% more labor income than those who have been working for less than 10 years,” Slide The report of the Ministry of Education. Does something more influence? The answer is affirming again. Sex influences. Clear, also. For example, medium labor income amounted to 2022 to 20,701 in the case of them and 16,871 in them. This difference is maintained regardless of training or experience. If we go to the most qualified and valued segment, that of professionals with a master’s degree or degree that has been working for more than 30 years, we see that men charge 37,850 euros while women receive 31,162. However, that gap is not the same in all cases. “The biggest relative difference is observed in the average income for women with first -stage secondary studies, which is 11,128 euros, compared to 15,531 of men with the same formation, 28.3% lower. At the other end of the scale, women with diploma or university degree have an average income of 20,494 euros for 25,225 euros of men (18.8% less),” he clarifies. Beyond education. The education report is not the only one that reflects these differences in training. The INE It also confirms Very clear differences between the income of the less formed and the most qualified people. According to their data, the average monthly gross salary of people with incomplete primary studies barely went from 1,400 euros in 2022. Among the most formed people, with higher education titles, that same average exceeds 2,600 euros. In A report In which he analyzed the deviations with respect to the average salary based on the formation of the wage, Bankinter also appreciated the same phenomenon: the least qualified were 35.7% below the general average while the most prepared exceeded it in 65.8%.

There is a whole neighborhood battle to try not to reach Madrid. “They are selling my health to earn money”

by

A protest earlier this week at the Edinburgh roundabout, marks the start of a new phase in the neighborhood battle against The Madrid Grand Prix. The platform Stop F1 Madrid It is mobilized after the beginning of the elimination of trees to clear the area where, in September 2026, the engines of Formula 1 will roar for the first time in the Ifema enclosure. A new F1 showcase. What began as a “future commitment” by Mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida has become a war of wear between the City Council and the neighbors of neighborhoods such as Canillas, Las Cárcavas, Valdebebas and San Lorenzo. More than 142,000 residents within a radius of four kilometers will be affected by the implementation of the F1 circuit in the city, an event that promises to exceed the law of the 65 decibels as a noise limit. “The event will generate more than 95 decibels that we will suffer directly the neighbors of the neighborhood”, complaint Constantino Blanco, spokesman for the citizen platform. More than noise. In addition to noise pollution, the works foresee The elimination of 729 treesof which 295 will not be able to transplant according to the environmental impact report to which we have been accessible. The cuts in the streets, the modifications of the urban layout and the fact of putting upside down all the mobility of Madrid for a decade are more than enough reasons for the neighbors to consider the arrival of this unsustainable event. “They are selling my health to earn money,” says Stop F1 Madrid representative. The legal trick. To overcome the noise regulations, the City Council Plan suspend temporarily the noise law alleging “exceptionality”. The strategy is based on considering the Grand Prix as an “special public transcendence” event, a legal figure that allows us to exceed the usual limits for “duly justified general interest reasons.” However, the neighbors question if a private event with “at the exorbitant price” really meets these requirements. Battles in court. Two judicial resources They already complicate the path of the circuit. In May, the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid admitted to process the complaint of the environmental platform against the Special Project Plan. Days later, more Madrid managed to study another demand for “serious deficiencies” in the approval process. Ricardo Ayala, a lawyer specialized in noise cases such as Santiago Bernabéu, commented to the environment Eldiario that “it is an absolute aberration and they barely have arguments that support it.” A domino effect. The F1 case is not isolated. Madrid usually becomes a permanent amusement park, from macrofestivals to projects such as The largest noria in the world. Madrid pursues what is happening in cities such as Miami or Baku, where F1 have also used as a global tourist showcase. However, this also leads to a generalized complaint by neighbors who suffer the noise and consequences of this type of event. The most popular case is The Santiago Bernabéuthat since his new work and transformed into the palace of events of all kinds, beyond football, he has caused The complaint of many neighbors that live around the stadium. What comes now. The project advances with A provisional license until 2026fragmenting the process to complicate legal actions. The courts have not yet decreed the precautionary suspension, but the specialized lawyers predict that the judicial consequences could reach when Formula 1 is either a reality. Meanwhile, the neighbors maintain the pressure: “It would not be here if I did not believe that we can get it,” says Blanco. The battle has just begun.

Alibaba had been left behind in the Tech China race. Now you will invest 52,000 million dollars to earn the AI

by

A little less than a year ago Joe Tsai, co -founder of Alibaba and current president of the company, gave a worrying fact: China had a two -year delay compared to the US in AI. That disadvantage seems to have faded completely in recent weeks, but the company chaired by TSAI is not a protagonist in that segment. It is precisely what you want to change. THE TROZÓN DE MA. The company, one of the most important in the world in the technological segment, – and The 29 of the global ranking By market capitalization – it has had somewhat difficult years After what happened with Jack Ma. Now he has a clear plan to recover lost time. But Alibaba gets serious. The firm advertisement on Monday that plans to invest at least 380,000 million yuan (about 52.4 billion dollars to change) in cloud computing infrastructure and artificial intelligence. He will do it in the next three years. It will have (a lot) competition. The announcement occurs just at the time the AI ​​segment in China It is especially hot. Bytedance, owner of Tiktok, hopes to have a capex of 150,000 million yuan only in 2025 (20,690 million dollars). Others such as Tencent, Baidu or Startup Deepseek They are certainly putting very interesting things in this area. The gold fever of the data centers. In recent weeks we have seen how technological companies in the US have announced astronomical figures for their budgets and their capital expenses (CAPEX) in the coming years. Except Appleall Big Tech will make colossal investments ranging from 65,000 million finish to the 100,000 that plans to invest Amazon. Most of that money will go to data centers for AI, and here Alibaba seems to not want to be left behind. With Xi Jinping’s blessing. The Chinese government has been maintaining its great technological government very at bay. However, the Recent meeting of President Xi Jinping With the top responsible for these companies, he has raised a change in Chinese policies, now apparently more open than their private companies – although closely linked to the Xi Jinping administration – grow remarkably. Up to rise. Alibaba’s announcement occurs days after their financial results, which were slightly above expectations. That has been a revulsive for their actions, which rose significantly and that seem to reflect the optimism of the investors, which is probably even greater.

How to earn money and what role does the Chinese government have in this AI

by

Deepseek is the artificial intelligence (AI) of the moment. There is no doubt about that. It has been occupying the center of attention for almost three weeks, and it is not for less if we do not overlook that The debate about hardware used by this Chinese company to train your AI model Keep on the table. And also the cost of this process. After Depseek other models of AI have arrived that are presumably even cheaper, as S1but this is not the most relevant. The reason why Deepseek has shaken the foundations of the AI ​​industry is that a model with a quality similar to that of Openai or Google IA or Google is given free of charge. What is not at all clear for the moment is that The cost derived from your training It has been as moderate as those responsible for this emerging Chinese company say. Whatever the purpose of this article is to investigate two very interesting questions about Deepseek: how it earns money and if it has the support of the Chinese government. Deepseek is already the Chinese symbol Just three days ago Zhou Xin, Josephine Ma and Matt Haldane, three editors of SCMPparticipated in a web seminar dedicated to the technological future of China. A priori he would not have had too much importance, but its content is not going unnoticed by one reason: they have shed light about some of the most relevant questions that flutter around Depseek. And, in addition, they have done it with solid arguments. Otherwise we would have overlooked it and we would not dedicate this article. High-Flyer uses advanced mathematical models and computational algorithms to make investment decisions According to Xin, Ma and Haldane at the time Depseek has not received any financing from the Chinese government. Your parent company is called high-flyer and is a quantitative coverage fund specialized in trading algorithmic. This simply means that this company uses Advanced mathematical models and computational algorithms to address investment decisions with the greatest possible success guarantees. Deepseek was born as a high-flyer secondary project to take advantage of its computer resources and “put one foot” in the AI ​​industry. At the moment there is no indication that reflects that it has received money from the Chinese administration, but the relevance it has achieved and the fact that it has raised as the most visible symbol of China in the AI ​​sphere invites us to accept that It is possible that in the future it does receive some type of support from the Xi Jinping government.
