https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/19/opinion/trump-trade-and-tantrums.html

The article was about how Trump may cause businesses from small to huge may lose billions of dollars if he decided to terminate or reshape NAFTA because of his ego, something that is vital for business in 3 countries that do trade amongst themselves and save millions of dollars in goods.

This article reminds me of the course material on 'Trade' we discussed in class, how trade affects development and how FDI is a big part of trade, how U.S. businesses sent their work to Mexico for cheap labor compared to U.S. and may cause growth in host country]]> 2017-11-27 19:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/r46ljhnx6ns8/wish/210630708 Post #7 (October 30, 2017) miguel_mendoza834 https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/r46ljhnx6ns8/wish/210745928 Remittances to Mexico Spike in anticipation of Donald Trumps Wall
https://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2017/01/daily-chart-2

The article was about how based on Trump's threat of building a 'big beautiful wall' on our southern border payed by Mexico. if Mexico does not agree, Trump threatens to block remittances which Mexico can't afford to lose, but it wont be easy as Trump thinks without the consequences it will bring.

The article is relevant to the article on The Economist 'From Russia With Love' because it talks about how Mexico, similar to Tajikistan migrant workers sending home money(Remittances) to loved ones back home, also in class we spoke how Mexico thrives off remittances from natives in other countries like the U.S. ]]> 2017-11-28 05:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/r46ljhnx6ns8/wish/210745928 Post #8 (November 8, 2017) miguel_mendoza834 https://padlet.com/miguel_mendoza834/r46ljhnx6ns8/wish/211537344 Sub-Saharan African Migrants Face Old Enemy in Libya: Bigotry

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/10/business/wineries-california-wildfire.html

This article was about how Wine County's in Northern California are suffering the effects of the wildfires, not to mention tourism which is a multibillion-dollar economic industry which has effected of course tourism and jobs around the area causing major losses of attractions which attracted 23.6 million visitors to the affected areas.

This particular article is relevant to our class discussion on tourism because these Wine county's brought millions of visitors to the state of California before the fires. With California being the 4th largest wine producer globally, it automatically brought people from all over for the bars and wine tasting.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41109572
This article was about how Bulgaria's population is shrinking, partly due to no opportunities in the country whatsoever. villages & towns have been shrinking and young people leave due to the government not caring about them, Bulgarias government wants to stop depopulation by offering help with child care or mortgage support.

This article is reminds me of the class discussion of the discussion & material we had in class about Bulgaria. Due the fall of communism & the lack of competitiveness, there is no jobs for the young Bulgarians who leave the country for better jobs leaving Bulgaria with 'Brain Drain'.
