DGT recommendations to face the output operation on August 1

They say that the flow of travelers has changed over our country. The holidays are usually chosen for weeks and not for fortnights, as before. Therefore, it is Fridays and on Sundays the days that are usually registered on roads in summer. But this year we have a particularity. This Friday is August 1, the day that was traditionally used to go on vacation. One more reason for The DGT theme that the roads become hell this weekend. The usual summer traffic between Friday and Sunday must be added that it begins (or ends) the fortnight, so a huge flow of workers who go out to enjoy their vacations or begin to return to them is expected. These movements, the DGT estimates, will add some 6.88 million journeys Between yesterday, Thursday, July 31, and Sunday, August 3. During all this time the Operation of August 1 will be activated. A campaign that gives the starting gun to a month in which they are expected to count about 52.87 million displacements. These are the recommendations of the DGT. Better with full tank What can we expect from an operation holiday? Traffic. A lot of traffic. That is why the DGT already advances that the most complicated hours will be condensed in the August 1 (starting at 3:00 p.m.), throughout the morning of Saturday, August 2 and, of course, on the afternoon of August 3 (between 4:00 p.m. and 23:00 hours) when they are expected to meet both those who go out to spend the day and those who have lengthened the entire weekend and, of course, those who return on vacation. What remains in our hands? The DGT gives a series of Recommendations. The most basic is that we move outside these schedules, whenever possible. Thus we will reduce the risk of seeing ourselves wrapped in a jam. But, in addition, they ask for a certain forecast: Prepare the trip: check the car components well, such as the pressure of the tiresbrakes or lightsthinking that you will demand much more than usual. In addition, have an eye on the browser to avoid possible jams and be aware of the possible accidents or breakdowns of other vehicles. During the trip the DGT emphasizes a “circulate with the Full fuel tank. It will be of great help in case of being faced with any anomalous situation as retentions, accidents or unforeseen weather. “This recommendation is usually given in winter where the fuel tank It is key to keeping heating alive of the car but it is always a good idea because, in case it is complicated and the night is over, we can have problems to find an open gas station or face an alternative route if, for example, for example, for example, for example, for example, A road has been cut by a fire. Food and drink: always carries water inside the car and avoids heavy meals since they can sleep. Of course, try to sleep as well as possible before and drive rested. And the DGT ends with a sentence: “Do not take the mobile and avoid any other distraction. Your only task is to drive“ Photo | Tsai Derek In Xataka | The problem is not that the air conditioning of the car breaks more in summer. The problem is that the rest of the year we do not look at it

A 54%tariff, an iPhone of $ 2,300 and no easy output for Apple

Trump has announced A tariff pack He has shaken the markets and put Apple in the spotlight. The company, which manufactures most of its devices in Asia, faces 54% tariffs for products from China, 46% for Vietnam, and 26-27% for India. Just the countries where it has concentrated its production. Apple opted for diversify its manufacture After Trump’s first presidency, but this strategy It has been counterproductivesince the new tariffs affect precisely all their production centers. There is no escape. It is the same that has happened To another company closely linked to Apple: Nike. Why is it important. The Impact for Apple is double: financial and industrial. The company depends on its devices to generate 75% of its almost 400,000 million dollars in annual income – the rest comes from services. This tariff imposition could increase its annual costs by about 8,500 million dollars, reducing its benefits in approximately 7%. Its action – like those of many other technological ones, although Apple’s even more – has noticed, with a 9% drop and another 5% in the Premarket Friday. And now what. Apple’s options are limited and none is ideal: Absorbing tariff costs, which would erode their profit margins, which are so baggy (around 25%) as sacred for directive and investors. Move consumers cost through important price increases. And Apple has a much less elastic demand than the rest of the brands, but also average prices closer to the limit that the client can assume. Combine both strategies, distributing the impact and waiting for the result to be as favorable as possible to your interests. Another option is to get a tariff exemption such as the one already obtained in Trump’s first legislature. In figures. The analysis of Rosenblatt Securities project that Apple would need to increase the price of its devices to 43% if you wanted to keep your current margins. This would mean: A iPhone 16 base would go from $ 799 to $ 1,142. A iPhone 16 Pro Max With 1 TB of storage could reach $ 2,300 (from 1,599). Even the iPhone 16Elaunched in February to $ 599, it would rise to $ 856. The context. Apple has cultivated a relationship with Trump for years that allowed him to avoid tariffs during his first administration. Tim Cook attended Trump’s inauguration and promised large investments in the United States. And has received Trump’s presidency With much better predisposition than in 2017. In February, Apple announced an investment plan of 500,000 million dollars In the United States, including a plant in Texas and 20,000 jobs in research and development. However, he has not achieved the exemption he obtained in 2018. The background. Cook has commented several times Apple’s difficulty to produce in his own country, referring among other reasons to the scarcity of the type of qualified personnel in something so specific. Apple, despite its enviable position in inertia of income, margins and stock capitalization, was already coming from some previous turbulence. For example, iPhone sales without expected growth or His difficulties with the implementation of his AI. Now, a tariff crisis. In summary. The clash between the Trump administration and companies such as Apple (but not only Apple) is a clash between two opposite ways to see the economy: the national protectionism of the first and the optimized globalization of the second. Looking ahead to the consumer, the message is clear: we can prepare for some more expensive iPhone. In the face of Apple, less margin to innovate for the reduction of its benefits. In any case, it will depend on what the company’s response is, if you get an exemption or if there is negotiation in extremis before April 9.
