Polo Beach: the most exclusive sport in the world arrives in Miami

(By Marcelo Maurizio y Juan Maqueda) Polo Beach is a variant of traditional polo played on the beach instead of on a grass field. The sport originated on the beaches of Argentina and Uruguay in the early 20th century and has become increasingly popular worldwide, especially in luxury tourist destinations. From April 20 to 23, the most important tournament of this eccentric luxury sport, the Beach Polo World Cup, will take place in Miami. The Beach Polo World Cup in Miami is the largest and most notable beach polo event in the world. It features eight international teams and more than 120 horses.

Un colapso del tribalismo fanático ideológico está atacando (y matando) a todo lo que se enfrente a la militancia de izquierda (¿Por qué?)

(Por una cocreación junto Ristretto, con Taylor-Molina-Alonso-Maurizio) Imagine que su cerebro tiene un interruptor tribal. Cuando se activa, su córtex prefrontal —sede del razonamiento— se apaga, y la amígdala —centro del miedo— toma el control.

Impacto mundial: ¿por qué acciones y oro marcan máximos históricos en un mundo que teme el alza de tasas? (cuando las malas noticias… son buenas)

(Por Taylor desde Silicon Beach) Los máximos históricos simultáneos de renta variable y oro no reflejan optimismo económico; al contrario: celebran el temor.

La comunidad internacional está conmocionada. La paradoja es que tanto se dice que la derecha, los conservadores, los libertarios atacan a la prensa, hoy una vez más, todo pensador, esta vez un comentarista y miembro activo de los medios,  defensor de la familia,  del matrimonio, de las libres ideas, de la fé judeo cristiana, del respeto por la mujer,  por los niños, por la libertad, es asesinado.
