In today's episode of Despegamos, César Vidal and Lorenzo Ramírez begin by discussing the World Cup, memes about Trump, Spain's victory against Portugal, and symbolic theories surrounding The Economist. They analyze the sharp rise in electricity prices in Spain, the limitations of the renewable energy model when wind and sun are lacking, the use of gas to avoid further blackouts, and the impact of extreme heat on the electrical grid. They also address work permits related to heat alerts, the situation of the self-employed, small businesses, agriculture, industry, and construction, as well as the functioning of unemployment benefits, the lack of oversight of those receiving unemployment, the role of public employment services, and the reality of the Spanish labor market. In politics, they examine regional funding, the spending cap, the absence of a national budget, Pedro Sánchez's electoral strategy, the increase in public spending, the structural deficit, and possible scenarios up to 2027. In the technology sector, they study Samsung's stock market collapse, the artificial intelligence bubble, Nvidia's dominance, inflated valuations, Chinese competition, and the US Treasury report that compares AI to the dot-com bubble. They also analyze opaque private lending, community opposition to data centers, the enormous energy and water consumption of these infrastructures, and the abandonment of decarbonization targets. Lorenzo also previews an upcoming miniseries of The Great Reset dedicated to MK Ultra, the CIA's mind-control experiments, and their background. In the energy section, they denounce the French blockade of electrical interconnections with Spain, the Barcelona-Marseille project, and the clash between Spanish green hydrogen and French pink hydrogen. In geopolitics, they discuss Mexico becoming Spain's main oil supplier, the incidents near the Strait of Hormuz, the attack against a Ukrainian oligarch in Monaco, and the corruption investigations linked to Ukraine. They also analyze the use of stolen data to train artificial intelligence systems, the NATO summit, the increase in European military spending, the roles of Ursula von der Leyen, Mark Rutte, Macron, and the new Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, as well as the tensions between Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni. On a positive note, they highlight the drop in alcohol consumption among young Spaniards and the stability of drug use. Finally, they discuss Louis van Gaal's legal victory against the Treasury, the cases of César Vidal, Shakira and other taxpayers, the actions of the Tax Agency and the high number of proceedings it ends up losing in court.
