‘The Young Guns’: Ten Years Later

The country is reeling from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Just years prior the proud citizens of a peerless empire, Americans have become a dispirited lot. The decline of the United States appears more and more like a foregone conclusion. And after patchy Republican rule, the Democratic Party seems invincible — poised to control the presidency for a generation. Within the corridors of power, the country’s fraught race relations dominate the conversation. Debts balloon as John Maynard Keynes is excavated and propped up like El Cid. Conservatism isn’t just uncool— it’s terminal. But this isn’t Trump’s America — it’s Barack Obama’s first term in office.

“History’s hard to know,” as Hunter Thompson once wrote, but the echoes today of ten years ago are unmistakable.

As the United States potentially ushers in a new left-wing presidency, America’s “Right” — if such a thing can be said to exist — will undergo its latest round of psychoanalysis. And even if Trump holds off the sans culottes outside his gates, he will hold onto power a diminished figure, b-lining for lame duck status. His administration will have appointed scores of conservative judges, only to see little to no enduring judicial victories (“Do you get the impression the Supreme Court doesn’t like me?” Trump asked earlier this month). Put in power on a promise of stabilizing immigration, he will have delivered perhaps a tenth of the border wall. And he will have cut taxes only to preside over the perhaps largest collapse in GDP growth in American history.

It’s clear, for now, US Republicans stand for one thing: against the Democrats.

The Democratic Party, on the contrary, in recent months — as Ross Douthat points out in the New York Times — has been reborn. It is now bursting with almost religious fervor, a cult of “public health,” “expertise,” “anti-racism” and armistice with corporate America. The clique — which can plausibly claim to channel a numerical majority — has been infused with a surge of purpose, a revolution more effective than anything dreamed up by Bernie Sanders. Or, as Douthat puts it: “Much of the action around it, the anti-racist reckoning unfolding in colleges, media organizations, corporations and public statuary, may seem more unifying than the Sanders revolution precisely because it isn’t as threatening to power.”

America’s left wing has seized the commanding heights. It’s been a long time coming.

As Janan Ganesh points out in the Financial Times: “Doctrinal liberals stormed the three branches of government handily enough, but not Hollywood, the publishing industry, academia and other trades that form our habits of mind without our knowing it.” And in language I can sympathize with, he adds: “Conservatism has bleak truths to impart: about the fragility of order, the perverse consequences of well-meaning change, the loss of the individual in the push for group rights. Zealots for change who give no quarter to conservatism’s insights are prone to over-reach. In fact, it is not obvious on which side a strict liberal, in the old sense, now belongs.”

For an example of a compact that neither changed history nor thwarted, one need look no further than “The Young Guns,” by Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy.

Originally a 2007 Weekly Standard cover, it’s a trio now as defunct as that magazine, But in 2010, they used this as the title for a brief tract — an encore to Newt Gingrich’s “Contract With America” (which too ended up being largely unenforced) — a blueprint of what they would do with real power (they never got it). By self-acclamation, Cantor was “the leader,” Ryan was “the thinker” and McCarthy was “the strategist.” McCarthy was quietly derided as the weak link, but his moniker ended up most apt, as he held formal power the longest (he remains, at time of writing, the House Minority Leader).

But the group did little else but survive (Ryan is now at Fox News, Cantor in investment banking).

Republicans stormed the House 2010, only to pass tedious Obamacare repeals with no chance of obtaining the President’s signature. In other words, the 190-page treatise explained small government conservatism in large font. When given the opportunity seven years later under President Donald Trump, senior Republicans confessed they hadn’t expected Trump to win and that they didn’t, per se, have an alternative to the Affordable Care Act.

Earlier, these Congressional Republicans had managed to install one of their own — Paul Ryan — on the 2012 ticket.

But Ryan helped Romney lose a winnable election, failing even to deliver his home state of Wisconsin (which Trump would carry four years later). When Republicans took the Senate in 2014 — completing their sweep of Congress — their leadership attempted to champion Trade Protection Authority, and favored Jeb Bush (who took the plurality of Republican Congressional endorsements in the early 2016 race) as their standard-bearer. Or. as Rep. Adam Kinzinger said in late summer 2015 after Trump was already dominating the race: “I think Jeb’s the guy.” No, he’s wasn’t

It’s worth noting that in order to win back power in 2016, the Republican Party needed an ex-Democrat, Mr. Trump. The kinds of voters who went Obama-Biden in 2008 and 2012 — and then flipped to Trump in 2016 — are exactly the demographic that could give a fresh chance to the bottom of that old ticket in 2020. For all the ink that has been spilled on Trump as an avatar of white reaction, he is losing even that contingent — and fast — if polling is to be at all believed. Republicans have also started this year by reviving another mistake of a forgotten era — dismissing the polls, as they did in 2012.

If Trump is jettisoned from office this autumn, as seems likely, it will be an event rich with irony. As some of his conservative critics point out, he campaigned in 2016 with elements from the old Democratic Party (some might say a “conservatism”), emphasizing the need to curb special interests, military overstretch, and runaway capitalism. Should he lose, the fact that he actually governed like a Republican of old (focusing on tax cuts, deregulation, and the pursuit of a bizarre obsession with Iran, to the neglect of worker protections and immigration) will have played no small part.

Many will vie for the title. But if they’re actually interested in power, Trump’s attempted successors would do well to consider — and avoid — the example of the “young guns.”

Resumen del Sprint de Usability & Productivity de València #KDE

Si ayer hablada de la parte de Plasma, hoy toca hacerlo de la de usabilidad y productividad. Y que que hace casi un mes que un buen número de desarrolladores de la Comunidad KDE se reunió en la capital del Turia para celebrar un par de Sprint. Es hora de saber qué hicieron a lo largo de esos días. Bienvenidos al resumen del Sprint de Usability & Productivity de València donde se contará lo que se pueda contar de ese tiempo de convivencia y hacking.

Como decía ayer, hace casi una semana que Nathan Graham, uno de los mejores comunicadores de la Comunidad KDE, publicó en el Dot, nombre que recibe vulgarmente el blog oficial de KDE, un resumen del Sprint de Plasma y Usability & Productivity de València.

Evidentemente, os recomiendo leerlo con atención pero para los que tienen dificultades con la lengua de Shakespeare (y no es que yo vaya sobrado) he decidido hacer un resumen del resumen, aunque dividido en dos partes por eso de tener una lectura ágil.

Resumen del Sprint de Usability & Productivity de València

Para empezar creo que es conveniente recordar a a los participantes: Méven Car, Noah Davis, Filip Fila, Nate Graham, David Redondo y el hiperactivo Albert Astals Cid.

Todos ellos, en mayor o menor, tuvieron una semana llena de tareas, siendo la sede de casi todas ellas las oficinas de la empresa de ensamblaje de dispositivos libres Slimbook.

Y el trabajo desarrollado durante estos días se centró en dos aspectos, la discusión de asuntos necesarios a mejorar y el trabajo de campo. Del primer aspecto se pueden destacar las siguientes conclusiones.

Conseguir que sea más fácil probar una versión compilada de Plasma.

Hacer obvio que Plasma está hecho de widgets y poder mostrar como funcionan y se configuran.

La necesidad de unificar los métodos de escalado de los elementos visuales.

Planificar qué elementos pueden ser añadidos a la pantalla de bloqueo para mejorarla.

Y unas pinceladas del trabajo realizado:

Spectable utilizará KGlobalAccel, se añade la funcionalidad de «quit-after-copy» al finalizar la tarea y se añadirá el soporte para crear anotaciones en las capturas.

Se implementó el orden personalizado de fondos de pantallas en el carrusel de los mismos.

Ahora los usuarios podrán cerrar ventanas con el botón central del ratón en el efecto Present Windows.

Se ha empezado el trabajo de mejora en la sección de imágenes de avatares por defecto,

Se ha iniciado el trabajo de una nueva funcionalidad llamada «Usados recientemente» para Dolphin.

Como vemos, un buen impulso para el equipo de Usabilidad y Productividad de la Comunidad KDE, ya que no olvidemos que este tipo de eventos suelen ser un punto de partida excelente para seguir trabajando a lo largo de muchos meses.

Empresarios respaldan reformas estructurales en pro de la competitividad

En México hay más de 6,000 sociedades hispano-mexicanas en su territorio

El empresariado hispano-mexicano reafirmó ante el presidente Enrique Peña Nieto, su compromiso de respaldar la implementación de las reformas estructurales, para que México sea más competitivo.

Durante el Encuentro Empresarial con la Colectividad Hispano-Mexicana, el presidente del Consejo Empresarial Mexicano del Comercio Exterior, Inversión y Tecnología (Comce), Valentín Diez Morodo, subrayó que “debemos insistir y continuar en la implementación total de las reformas estructurales”.

Esto, sobre todo, “para eliminar las grandes diferencias que marcan a nuestra sociedad y para que impere un régimen de pleno derecho”, dijo ante el titular del Ejecutivo federal y la cúpula empresarial mexicana de origen español.

“Los empresarios hispano-mexicanos renovamos nuestro compromiso con la sociedad y nuestra obligación de respetarnos y apoyarnos recíprocamente; hombres de trabajo que se superan día día”, aseveró.

Esta comunidad busca hacer negocios “en buena fe y en espíritu de progreso, que son el símbolo de nuestros tiempos, pues redundará en grandes beneficios para nuestros respectivos países”, apuntó.

Ante directivos de los centros españoles establecidos en México, el empresario destacó que hoy México y España gozan de un nivel extraordinario en sus relaciones, y comparten “los avatares de una economía mundial que ha sufrido enormes transformaciones y que todavía no se repone de la crisis iniciada en el año 2008”.

En este escenario, “destaca México como un país que ha podido mantener las condiciones básicas de estabilidad macroeconómica necesarias para el desarrollo sano de la actividad productiva, lo que se manifiesta en un crecimiento constante de nuestro Producto Interno Bruto durante los siete años más recientes”.

Diez Morodo indicó que en este sentido, “la comunidad hispano-mexicana se siente muy orgullosa de haber participado activamente en el proceso de desarrollo económico de nuestro país y una muestra de su confianza en México es la corriente de inversiones hispano-mexicanas que se han registrado en nuestro país”.

Actualmente, México cuenta con la presencia de más de 6,000 sociedades hispano-mexicanas en su territorio, de tal manera que España es el segundo país en importancia por su participación en el número de empresas establecidas en México, y por el monto de su inversión, el día de hoy supera los 60,000 millones de dólares.

Destacó las inversiones españolas que se han realizado en sectores clave para el desarrollo del país, como el eléctrico, nuevas fuentes de energía, distribución de gas, turístico, aeroportuario, automotriz, transporte y financiero, así como el comercio de productos del sector agroalimentario.

Gran parte de estas empresas son pequeñas y medianas, “pymes que por sus características esenciales generan un gran número de empleos”, afirmó el empresario.

En su oportunidad, el embajador de España en México, Luis Fernández Cid de las Alas, señaló que “el carácter excepcional de los vínculos y la naturaleza estratégica de las relaciones entre los dos países no se explica en el entramado institucional que lo soporta, ni en el flujo de intercambio económico y comercial, ni tampoco en las constantes visitas y viajes oficiales”.

“Nuestra relación tiene un componente esencial, permanente durante los 500 años transcurridos desde nuestro primer encuentro: el elemento humano”, resaltó el diplomático español.

Las relaciones entre España y México se han construido a lo largo de estos siglos, basándose en relaciones entre personas, lo que les confiere un carácter único. México ha sido destino de muchos españoles por muy diversos motivos, expuso.

La transferencia de tecnología, las franquicias, la utilización de marcas, entre otras, ha impulsado grandemente la creación de fuentes de trabajo, contribuyendo con ello a mejorar el nivel de vida y a eliminar gradualmente las desigualdades en nuestra sociedad, sostuvo.

Todd McCarthy: On Tentpole Turkeys, Franchise Fatigue and Blockbuster Imitators, Then and Now

http://styleveryday.com/2017/07/14/todd-mccarthy-on-tentpole-turkeys-franchise-fatigue-and-blockbuster-imitators-then-and-now/

Todd McCarthy: On Tentpole Turkeys, Franchise Fatigue and Blockbuster Imitators, Then and Now

For industry observers with historical perspective, the current phenomenon of movies being made on ever-bigger budgets, but to diminishing box-office and critical returns, has made for a major deja-vu moment.

After a lackluster Cannes Film Festival and a handful of would-be blockbusters that turned out to be franchise killers, June gloom settled in over Hollywood in a big way. How could the latest editions of Transformers, Pirates and Cars all underwhelm and under-perform so significantly? Isn’t Tom Cruise surefire in a big movie anymore? Why did the critics have to go and dump all over Baywatch and make it flop? All the conventional-minded industry-watchers were having fits over the fact that the public could smell these turkeys a mile away and decided to save its money.

As it happened, the masses didn’t stay away for long: Baby Driver and then, spectacularly, Spider-Man: Homecoming restored box-office order, the excellent and commercially surefire War for the Planet of the Apes will further bolster summer returns and Dunkirk is waiting to be unleashed.

Still, the specter of ever-more expensive franchise extensions continues to loom over us. And, for industry observers with historical perspective, the increasing phenomenon of such films continuing to be made on ever-more egregious budgets, but to decreasing box-office results, harks back to the late ’60s, when similarly bloated and costly pictures were made to fill the perceived need for more mass-appeal “roadshow” films, but to diminishing returns.

Spurred by the 1950s success of Cinerama and giant-grossing spectacles such as The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur, roadshow bookings were earmarked for prestigious, expensive productions with long running times that were presented in the manner of live theater engagements, with single nightly shows, matinees on Wednesdays and weekends, and runs that lasted as long as business warranted. In the cases of big hits like West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia and How the West Was Won, films might run for a year or more in just one big-city movie palace per territory before entering general release.

Many of the biggest grossers of the era — My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music, Doctor Zhivago — went this route, and seeing some of these films in 70mm under “special event” circumstances in gorgeous theaters indisputably added to the experience. And these were the films that, as often as not, won the most Oscars, so prestige-hungry executives put a great deal of their time and money into these productions (roadshow releases won the best picture Oscar eight times between 1956-68).

But as sequels were impossible to such the-hero-dies-in-the-end films as Spartacus, El Cid and any life of Jesus (of which there were two giant-budget roadshow versions within four years, King of Kings and The Greatest Story Ever Told), as well as to stand-alone adaptations of Broadway musicals, imitations became the order of the day.

Keen to follow their smash The Sound of Music (with box-office returns adjusted for ticket price inflation still the third-biggest grosser of all time, ahead of E.T., Titanic, Jaws, Avatar and all Star Wars films other than the first one), Julie Andrews and director Robert Wise rushed to find another musical to do together and the result was Star!, an utter disaster.

The occasional musical, in the right hands with the right stars, continued to connect with audiences — Barbra Streisand’s screen debut in Funny Girl, Oliver! and Fiddler on the Roof all scored — but the list of botched, misguided, money-draining and, today, essentially unwatchable musicals made for the wrong reasons is head-spinning: Half a Sixpence, Camelot, The Happiest Millionaire, Finian’s Rainbow, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Paint Your Wagon, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Song of Norway, Darling Lili and Man of La Mancha. Even The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales may be more tolerable than some of these.

The same syndrome afflicted other genres that lent themselves to epic, roadshow-style films. After a run that extended from The Robe in 1953 to Ben-Hur, Spartacus and Cleopatra, the public infatuation for Roman spectacles collapsed with The Fall of the Roman Empire and would not return for another 35 years, with that film’s unofficial semi-remake, Gladiator (which proceeded to win the best picture Oscar). And no sooner did the public’s Russian ardor spike with Doctor Zhivago than it was laid to waste by Nicholas and Alexandra.

Too many expensive films like these imitative versions of previous successes not only led to the radical change in release patterns — away from exclusive downtown big-city runs in favor of wide simultaneous release in hundreds of theaters — but also to a kind of industry fossilization that spurred studio regime change and the beginning of corporate takeovers by outsiders. And as the old dinosaur-type projects and filmmakers faded away, a new generation quickly seized the day.

So the issue then and now is the old gambler’s problem, of knowing when to quit. When you’re on a winning streak and it looks like there’s pots more money to be made — as seems to be the case with the much-reviled latest Pirates and Transformers editions thanks to overseas and ancillary revenues — it’s hard to resist staying at the table. But there’s another bromide that advises quitting while you’re ahead. There’s little doubt that the bottom-line bean counters will always endorse playing a string out until the till is empty, while artists who care about their reputations might prefer not to keep playing the same hand until the public tires of it.
