#CM x #LMM

1 - #GreveGeral: é possível e útil um acordo entre Governo e UGT? CM diz que entendimento é difícil com um pacote tão maue os insultos que o Governo tem feito aos sindicatos. LM acha acordo possível e útil. Acha que o acordo devia ser mais abrangente em matérias afectadas, e que a CGTP não interessa se quer ou não, o que interessa é UGT e patrões. CM perguntou a LMM o que mudava no pacote, LMM diz que não diz que isso é trabalho dos negociantes. Mas se ele diz que promulgaria com diferenças e não diz quais não é muito transparente aos eleitores… CM elenco vários pontos maus do pacote. LMM continua a dizer que não diz, e diz que CM só diz porque não tem probabilidade de ser eleita.

2 - independência: CM diz que quando há um Governo tão inclinado à direita e ataque aos trabalhadores, é importante ter uma presidente que faça contraponto e diga desde já que vai proteger o trabalho em vez de fragilizar. LMM pede que se parem os falsos moralismos, todos os candidatos querem o bem, só por caminhos diferentes. (Ele não pode acreditar isso…) Em vez de falar de independência acusa CM de ter causado instabilidade e crise ao chumbar o OE da geringonça (espero que ela responda).

Can This Simple Invention Convert Waste Heat Into Electricity?
Nuclear engineer Lonnie Johnson worked on NASA’s Galileo mission, has more than 140 patents, and invented the Super Soaker water gun.
But now he’s working on “a potential key to unlock a huge power source that’s rarely utilized today,” reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. [Alternate URL here.]

#ptpol #debates #presidenciais

0 - Há uma pergunta mas #LMM diz que responde a tudo mas primeiro tem outro tema obrigatório: a acusação de #Cotrim Figueiredo há 15 dias de LMM ter feito pressões, pede a Cotrim que concretize - Cotrim não pode ou consegue, tenta atacar LMM noutro tema com um book review, a dizer que LMM vai lançar um livro que é pior que o livro que Cotrim lançou - isto não se inventa. De certa forma isto influencia o debate porque quando o jornalista pode então fazer perguntas já não fala do que queria falar, e em vez disso pergunta o que distingue as candidaturas deles e voto útil e essas coisas. Cotrim responde que ele é o mais energético ou qq coisa dessas, mas em prática só diz que vai jantar com jovens mais vezes que LLM. 12 minutos de debate e ainda não se disse nada - mas só menos mostra bem que entre estes dois há claramente um menos sério que outro. Cotrim critica LMM estar no Conselho de Estado há tantos anos e Portugal está cheio de problemas - pena que LMM não diga a Cotrim que foi deputado e eurodeputado, e Portugal e Europa estão cheios de problemas também…
1 - finalmente a pergunta que o moderador queria: o pacote laboral. LMM repete a conversa de que é preciso uma reforma e esta é uma reforma por isso não entende as críticas. Cotrim promulgaria (duh)

(cont.)

Pena que não haja tempo para Catarina demonstrar como votou bem nesses casos (com o estado da Saúde como bom exemplo).

3 - Inverno Demográfico: CM responde com um desapontante solucionismo tecnológico. Seguro defende o mesmo.

4 - jovens: Seguro diz que a coisa está mal, quer um plano de fusão de PMEs para melhorar o emprego jovem (não teria o efeito contrário?), Catarina quer debates, dá exemplos das micro-produção solar descentralizada (uma boa ideia mas isso não é bem uma solução para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos jovens, quer dizer, é para todos…)

5 - NATO: CMartins quer cumprir a constituição e chama a atenção que o programa do PS tb defende a dissolução da NATO. Fala também da Palestina, lamenta que não tem sido tema, acusa Portugal de continuar a financiar o genocídio, e critica a Europa continuar com o acordo de associação com Israel quando Israel viola a sua parte do acordo. Seguro não quer o fim da NATO apesar disso estar na constituição. Catarina diz que a NATO está na mão de Trump.

Considerações pessoais: continuo sem entender eleitores PS a votar Seguro e não Jorge Pinto ou CMartins
