New level achieved by corporate debt

Corporate debt is reaching such a point that it is also reaching record levels. In fact, there could be a threat to the global economy. And it is that if the rates increase or the profits fall of the highly leveraged companies, these would become a threat.

While for some individuals and families they initiate a long and painful process of deleveraging due to the financial crisis, for others it is the opposite. And it is that those companies that moved quickly go in the opposite direction. Since they are charged with cheap debts to the point where many observers now worry that highly leveraged companies pose a threat to the global economy.

For US President Donald Trump, the long-term benefit of a trade war with China justifies the pain in the short term. Both for consumers and investors. It should be noted that it would now be more difficult to defend that case. Due to the collateral damage, it is causing, which now includes one of the most recognized brands in the United States, Apple Inc.

Panama, an excellent destination for 2019

Panama is a country in Central America. Bordered by Costa Rica to the west, Colombia to the southeast, the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south. The capital and largest city is Panama City, whose metropolitan area is home to nearly half the country’s 4 million people.

Tourism in Panama is growing rapidly. It has maintained its growth in the last five years due to government taxes and price discounts for foreign guests and retirees. Real estate developers in Panama have increased the number of tourist destinations in the last five years due to the interest in these incentives for visitors.

It should be noted that Panama City turns out to be really attractive because it is the oldest and continuously occupied European settlement on the Pacific coast of the Americas. Being that it is 500 years old. There are ancient walls, glass skyscrapers and a mixture of African, native Panamanian and Spanish cultures. This combination has had such an impact that it has helped to form the frantic “Miami of Central America”.

Men occupy the 20 most dangerous occupations in the United States

Men die at work more often than women, which is not very important for some people. Recent statistics that run through the news seem to provide a salient point about gender differences. Both in the so-called “wage gap” and even human rights.

In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it has been noted that during 2015, men dominated the 20 most dangerous occupations in the United States. Examples of this are logging, which is the most dangerous work in the United States, followed by fishing. Mining is the twentieth most dangerous profession. An important fact that can not be ignored is that more men than women occupied these jobs between 85.4 and 99.9 percent.

It has caused some discomfort that “security at work” was not seen anywhere in the memes or tweets of #HumanRightsDay. However, there was room for calls for medical attention, contraception, and awareness of global warming as human rights.
