傑克·施洛斯伯格談民主黨為何輸給年輕男性給川普——以及他為何退出拜登競選團隊的真正原因

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   傑克·施洛斯伯格（Jack Schlossberg）有個坦承：他認為唐納·川普（Donald Trump）做了件正確的事。 在紐約舉行的「CEO倡議」晚宴上，這位美國前總統約翰·甘迺迪（John F. Kennedy）的孫子——現為曼哈頓第12選區參選眾議員的民主黨候選人——與編輯黛安·布雷迪（Diane Brady）進行了一場坦率、廣泛的對談，內容既像診斷問題，也像競選宣傳。這位32歲年輕人的結論是：民主黨在年輕男性選民中面臨嚴重問題，而這是他們自己造成的。 施洛斯伯格的首要問題是找出他與川普總統意見一致的議題。「我和川普總統在很多事情上意見相左，」他立即表示，隨後稱讚川普「激發民眾對政治的熱情」。他接著指出，川普「挖走」了許多原本支持民主黨的年輕男性，並敦促自己所屬的政黨深入檢視這一現象發生的方式與原因。 「我認為那些年輕男性並不愚蠢，而我非常讚賞川普總統有能力營造新的互動環境，讓政治變得親民。」 這番話出自一個在2024年為拜登競選團隊製作社群媒體走紅影片的人，頗令人驚訝——直到他離職為止。「我去了威明頓（Wilmington），」他解釋道，卻不斷聽到「不行」。「總而言之，我離開競選團隊是因為我覺得，如果不能按照自己的方式做事，我將無法原諒自己。一個月後，競選團隊打電話給我說：『嘿，你能回來幫我們製作影片嗎？』」 施洛斯伯格擁有耶魯法學院（Yale Law）與哈佛商學院（Harvard Business School）學位，如今意外開拓了第二身份：成為一名進步派內容創作者，運用冷面幽默接觸民主黨長期未能有效觸及的受眾。他告訴布雷迪，他認為幽默與意外感是傳遞資訊的有效工具，並主張社群媒體走紅貼文其實蘊含大量資訊。認為走紅內容膚淺或輕浮是誤解。 在民主黨支持度跌至歷史新低之際，施洛斯伯格表示，問題不在於政策失焦，而是未能觸及年輕選民。「人們不需要超級英雄……他們只想要一個懂得說他們的語言、走到他們身邊，並提供實質價值的人。」 他有個明確論點：「共和黨以民主黨過去擅長的方式擁抱現代性，」他向現場的企業執行長們表示。「無論是太空、人工智慧競賽、加密貨幣，還是投資新科技——民主黨一直以來幾乎反對一切，尤其反商。他們反現代主義。川普扭轉了局勢。」 將民主黨描繪為「反對黨」——這是施洛斯伯格最犀利的論點。他認為，民主黨的問題不在於政策失焦，而是說故事的能力與文化相關性流失。「我不認為這是因為我們突然在政策上迷失了方向，」他說。「我認為主要問題是我們未能觸及年輕人，未能告訴他們我們支持什麼，而不只是扮演反應式的政黨。」 民主黨自甘迺迪時代以來的轉變 他的祖父會怎麼看待這一切？施洛斯伯格形容自己對當前局勢感到失望，並渴望——嗯——讓民主黨再次偉大。 「我以作為民主黨人為榮，」他說，「因為我將民主黨與過去的形象聯繫，而非現在。」他解釋，民主黨過去擁抱母性、科學與新媒體管道，是支持健保可負擔、支持移民、支持教育的政黨。他也談到政治領袖需要「責任感」與「勇氣」，告訴選民他們需要聽的事，而非虛假有害的訊息。他認為這正是川普主義（Trumpism）的危險。 「無論你是否支持總統，我認為當民眾不再相信政府的任何說法時，他就成功了。我們甚至無法確定是否該相信他某一天的言論。」施洛斯伯格補充，他不認為川普「一無是處，那種看法太膚淺」。但他指出，川普未能讓美國民眾對政府產生信心。「他沒有讓我們相信自己有能力解決未來的問題，而我認為我們現在有太多被忽視、急需解決的問題。」 他的競選口號「再次相信某些事」（Believe in Something Again）刻意呼應甘迺迪時代那種失落的信心。他承認這「有點老套」，但強調這精準捕捉了當下政治時刻的需求：不是超級英雄，而是能走到民眾身邊、提供真實價值的領導者。「年輕人並非同質群體，」他說。「年輕人很聰明，他們能分辨誰是真心誠意，誰在說謊。」 施洛斯伯格競選的是美國最「藍」、選區最狹小的地區之一——曼哈頓第12選區（從第96街延伸至第14街）——因此他的國會之路取決於民主黨初選，而非與川普支持者的大選對決。但他在企業執行長晚宴上傳達的論點，顯然針對更廣泛的聽眾：民主黨若不再重拾對現代性與勇氣的熱忱，將永遠失去整整一代年輕男性選民。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

有時我沒服用藣固，選擇 insulin 及汽油，因為 ACA 調整導致

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   最近，Priscilla Brown 不得不在妥善管理她的第二型糖尿病與負擔其他必需品（例如汽車汽油）之間做出選擇。有些日子，她只服用處方胰島素劑量的一半或三分之一，只為了延長使用時間。 「有時候我甚至不吃藥，」這位48歲、住在佛羅里達州奧蘭多的卡車調度員說。「保險費用太高了，簡直是瘋了。」 根據醫療保健研究非營利組織 KFF 的一項新調查顯示，大約每10名美國人中就有8人（像 Brown 一樣重新註冊「平價醫療法案」（Affordable Care Act, ACA）市場保險的人）表示他們今年的醫療費用更高，其中約有一半的人表示他們的費用「高出許多」。費用增加的一個主要原因是，原先抵銷大多數投保人保費的強化稅收抵免已於12月31日到期。 對於 Brown 和其他人來說，這些飆升的費用正對日常生活產生實質影響。在2025年擁有 ACA 市場保險的1,117名受訪美國人中，包括那些放棄保險或更改計劃的人，約有55%表示他們計劃透過削減食物和其他基本家庭必需品的開支來應對醫療費用。 去年，國會中的民主黨人曾努力保留疫情期間的補貼，但遭到共和黨領導層的反對。今年1月，兩黨達成妥協的勢頭破裂，導致約2,300萬名 ACA 投保人面臨更高的保費，或做出艱難的決定，選擇退保或降級計劃，而得不到任何緩解。 這項新民意調查於今年2月和3月進行，並對去年一項調查的受訪者進行了追蹤，以了解他們目前如何應對健康保險問題，這項調查揭示了國會懸而未決的鬥爭如何繼續讓普通美國人感到壓力——即使許多聯邦立法者至少目前已轉向其他優先事項。 許多 ACA 投保人對醫療費用感到焦慮 去年，Brown 的健康保險保費為零。今年，她的新計劃每月費用為17美元，且自付額更高。 Brown 表示，她本週得知她的新藥物補充費用將超過150美元，讓她「差點昏倒」。她只加了所需汽油的一半，因為她知道需要錢來支付藥物費用。 民意調查顯示，人們對意外醫療費用的焦慮非常嚴重。去年擁有 ACA 保險的人中，約有四分之三表示他們「非常」或「有些」擔心支付急診護理或住院費用，而約有一半的人對例行醫療就診或處方藥物也持相同看法。 部分投保人轉向較低級別計劃，而另一些人則完全放棄保險 去年大多數的投保人，約每10人中有7人，仍繼續使用 ACA 健康保險——但這其中包括約每10人中有3人在市場內更改了計劃。同時，約每10人中有2人透過雇主、Medicare 或 Medicaid 獲得保險資格，或在 ACA 市場之外購買了保險，後者通常較不全面。 民意調查顯示，去年約每10名投保人中就有1人表示他們完全放棄了保險，目前沒有保險。 63歲的 Eric LeVasseur 是加州海豹灘的一名軟體開發人員，他就是其中一員。他說，當他看到他的中級銀級計劃每月費用將近三倍，達到1,200美元時，「這不是我的預算可以承受的。」 許多投保人歸咎於健康保險公司和政治人物 約每10名面臨更高費用的 ACA 回流投保人中，有7人表示他們「非常」歸咎於健康保險公司，而略多於一半的人則「非常」歸咎於共和黨立法者、Donald Trump 總統和製藥公司。約三分之一的人「非常」歸咎於國會中的民主黨人或醫院，而約每10人中就有1人將這種程度的責任歸咎於醫生或雇主。 認同某個政黨且看到費用上漲的受訪者，絕大多數「非常」歸咎於對立政黨的立法者。 James Mako 是佛羅里達州博卡拉頓的一名工程師，也是一名政治獨立人士，他說他歸咎於共和黨。他每月500美元的銀級 ACA 健康計劃保費今年預計將翻倍。因此，他降級為具有更高自付額的銅級計劃。 Mako 表示，他對共和黨提出的解決方案（例如將資金注入健康儲蓄帳戶）並不信服。 「我認為那些只是銷售噱頭，」他說。「補貼應該恢復。」 — KFF 的這項民意調查於2026年2月12日至3月2日進行，對1,117名在2025年擁有 Marketplace 保險的美國成年人進行，樣本來自兩個基於機率的調查小組。所有受訪者都曾參與2025年 KFF Marketplace Survey，並被重新聯繫參與這項新調查。完整樣本的抽樣誤差幅度為正負3.8個百分點。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Opendoor (OPEN) 股票下跌 5%，因聯準會暗示利率可能維持在高位。

hk_news

TLDRs; Opendoor股價下跌5%，因聯準會暗示利率可能在2026年前都保持在高位。 抵押貸款成本上升擠壓了線上房屋翻新轉售業務，包括Opendoor和Offerpad。 聯準會將利率維持在3.50%-3.75%，同時對2026年的通膨預期徘徊在2.7%。 可轉換票據到期引發流動性擔憂，給Opendoor的股票帶來額外壓力。 (SeaPRwire) -   Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:OPEN) 的股價在週三下跌5%，至5.28美元，因投資者對聯準會發出的利率可能保持高位的信號做出反應。整體市場也出現回落，標普500指數下跌1.36%，那斯達克指數下跌1.46%。 投資者對房地產相關股票尤為謹慎。Opendoor的商業模式是直接向賣家購買房屋並在線上轉售，當借貸成本高企且轉售速度放緩時，其面臨的壓力會加大。這種動態可能降低盈利能力並推遲盈虧平衡目標，使得市場情緒脆弱。 抵押貸款利率與住房數據描繪出複雜圖景 即使在聯準會宣布之前，住房數據已發出複雜信號。2月份待售房屋銷售增長1.8%，達到72.1，顯示市場仍有一定活動。然而，由於中東地緣政治緊張局勢，抵押貸款利率上週從5.98%攀升至6.11%，這使得買家的負擔能力變得複雜。 Opendoor Technologies Inc., OPEN 行業分析師警告，春季房屋銷售可能面臨阻力。ING經濟學家James Knightley表示：「市場表現並不活躍」，凸顯了可能抑制買家熱情的不確定性。 與此同時，Realtor.com的Hannah Jones指出，不斷上升的借貸成本可能在未來幾個月對需求造成壓力。 房屋建築商保持謹慎 更廣泛的住房行業也反映出類似的謹慎態度。NAHB/富國銀行3月份住房市場指數微升至38，連續第23個月低於中性水平50。NAHB主席Bill Owens評論稱，許多買家「仍在觀望」，而首席經濟學家Robert Dietz警告，油價和持續的市場不確定性繼續對住房市場構成阻力。 其他房屋翻新轉售平台也面臨類似壓力。另一家線上房產銷售商Offerpad Solutions週三下跌5.7%，說明了該行業對利率和流動性條件的普遍敏感性。 Opendoor的財務數據顯示反彈潛力 儘管股價下跌，Opendoor的基本面顯示出復甦之路。該公司報告第四季度營收為7.36億美元，毛利潤達到5700萬美元，期間購買了1,706套房屋。執行長Kaz Nejatian指出，這些結果反映了公司正持續執行計劃，目標是在2026年底前實現調整後淨收入盈虧平衡。 然而，公司文件揭示了迫在眉睫的財務考量。Opendoor有2030年到期的7.00%可轉換票據，持有人可在2026年3月31日前進行轉換。用現金支付可能使流動性緊張，而轉換為股票則可能稀釋現有股東權益，這為投資者增添了另一層謹慎因素。 市場情緒取決於聯準會政策 聯準會決定將利率維持在3.50%-3.75%不變，凸顯了貨幣環境穩定的背景。目前預測2026年通膨率為2.7%，儘管預計今年晚些時候會有一次降息，但市場參與者仍保持警惕。主席Jerome Powell承認能源市場影響存在不確定性，這使得投資者對近期經濟增長持謹慎態度。 對Opendoor而言，借貸成本高企、可轉換票據考量以及更廣泛的市場波動性相結合，意味著即使有正面的盈利數據，也可能不會立即轉化為股價上漲。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

五分之一的美國人認為成為億萬富翁是「在道德上錯誤的」——Z世代尤其覺得這令人反感

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   在美國夢的發源地，約有五分之一成年人認為坐擁巨額財富在道德上是錯誤的。話雖如此，絕大多數美國人主張，成為超級富豪並非道德問題。 地球上的億萬富翁數量在2026年達到前所未有的高峰：根據樂施會今年稍早發布的報告，目前有超過3,000人坐擁十位數字的財富。位居榜首的是Tesla執行長伊隆·馬斯克，淨資產達6,590億美元，其次是Alphabet共同創辦人賴利·佩吉，資產為2,640億美元。接著是Alphabet另一位創辦人謝爾蓋·布林，之後是Amazon的傑夫·貝佐斯和Meta的馬克·祖克柏。 然而，18%的一般美國人會說他們龐大的財富是「道德錯誤的」。 皮尤研究中心週四發布的一項調查詢問了3,000多人對某些議題道德性的看法。關於成為「極度富有」（定義為擁有數十億美元），大多數人（63%）認為這不是道德問題。事實上，另有18%的人表示成為億萬富翁是完全合乎道德的。 不同年齡層的意見也存在顯著差異。18至29歲的Z世代最可能對極端財富感到反感，其中三分之一認為這在道德上是錯誤的。這種意見的強度隨著受訪者年齡增長而減弱：30至49歲的千禧世代有20%認為成為億萬富翁是錯誤的，而X世代和嬰兒潮世代的比例分別為11%和10%。 與皮尤詢問公眾的其他主題相比，最年長和最年輕受訪者在財富議題上的意見差異最為戲劇性。全體美國人普遍認為在道德上最錯誤的行為是已婚外遇。 向富人課稅 即使不認為億萬富翁在道德上令人反感，絕大多數美國人仍希望看到美國的財富差距縮小。事實上，隨著時間推移，美國的財富分配日益分化：根據聯準會數據，2020年，在總計103兆美元的資產中，頂層0.1%的人持有12.08兆美元。另外99%至99.9%的頂層人群持有18.05兆美元。與此同時，底層50%的人口總共僅持有1.89兆美元。 快轉到最新數據，2025年第三季度，頂層0.1%的人持有總計172.9兆美元中的24.89兆美元。99%至99.9%的頂層人群持有約30兆美元，而底層50%的人持有4.25兆美元。 今年稍早由YouGov進行的調查詢問財富差距是否是一個非常嚴重的問題，52%的人表示同意。另有28%的人認為這是一個大問題。此外，59%的公民表示政府應介入以減少財富不平等——62%的美國人認為億萬富翁的稅率要麼過低（46%），要麼太低（16%）。 事實上，今年在達沃斯，一些全球百萬富翁和億萬富翁親自呼籲世界各國領導人解決財富差距問題。他們在一封公開信中寫道：「向我們課稅。向超級富豪課稅。」 這封由愛國百萬富翁組織、人道百萬富翁和樂施會協調的信件，獲得了艾比和提姆·迪士尼以及演員馬克·魯法洛等人的簽署。信中寫道：「我們都明白這一點。當連我們這樣的百萬富翁都認識到極端財富讓其他所有人付出了一切代價時，無疑表明社會正危險地搖搖欲墜，瀕臨懸崖邊緣。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

「我們正活在借來的時間裏」：隨著國債突破39兆美元，一位頂級外交官 warns of a crisis America isn’t ready for

hk_news

(SeaPRwire) -   美國國債本週首次突破 39 兆美元，在達到 38 兆美元不到五個月的時間裡就達到了這個嚴峻的里程碑——預算監督機構現在普遍認為這種累積速度是“不可持續的”。週三晚間，在紐約舉行的 CEO Initiative 晚宴上，一位備受尊敬的美國外交政策權威人士對這一時刻做出了嚴厲的評價：債務不僅僅是一個資產負債表問題。它威脅著美國的實力本身。 理查德·哈斯（Richard Haass）是美國外交關係委員會（Council on Foreign Relations）的前任主席，曾領導該組織 20 年，並在多屆政府中擔任高級國務院官員。他指出了自己在此問題上的思想領導力。哈斯與卡羅琳·基薩內（Carolyn Kissane）為 Peter G. Peterson Foundation 共同撰寫了一篇論文，警告不斷膨脹的債務對國家安全的影響。當時，他告訴的 Eva Roytburg，他感覺“有點像保羅·里維爾（Paul Revere）”，但不是英國人來了，而是危機即將來臨。“這是一場慢動作危機。” 週三晚間，哈斯告訴的 Diane Brady，對國債的焦慮感巨大但又遙遠。“這就像一句老話：直到某一天它不再是，它就一直沒事。所以我認為我們是在透支時間。” 他謹慎地迴避了時間問題——“我只是不夠聰明，不知道是從現在開始一個月、一年還是五年”——但他更廣泛的警報是明確無誤的。“我確實認為我們正在侵蝕對美國能力和領導力的信心。” 永不停歇的債務時鐘 哈斯擔憂的數字很難被忽視。國會預算辦公室預計，聯邦赤字將在 2026 財年達到 1.9 兆美元，並在 2036 年膨脹到 3.1 兆美元。目前為 31.3 兆美元的公共債務——預計將在十年內達到國內生產總值（GDP）的 120%，超過第二次世界大戰後不久創下的歷史最高紀錄。Peterson Foundation 預計，債務將在今年秋季的期中選舉前突破 40 兆美元。 也許最引人注目的是僅僅維持債務負擔的成本。2026 財年，國債的淨利息支付已超過 1 兆美元——幾乎是 2020 年的 3450 億美元的三倍——並且僅在財政年度的前三個月就已超過國防開支。Peter G. Peterson Foundation 的首席執行官 Michael A. Peterson 此前告訴：“利息是聯邦預算中增長最快的‘項目’。” 在 CEOi 晚宴上，一位與會的首席執行官進一步加劇了警報，指出 39 兆美元的總額掩蓋了更為驚人的負債。如果將社會保障、醫療保險和其他長期義務的未撥備福利納入考慮，實際財政缺口接近 100 兆美元——這一數字與美國最傑出的財政經濟學家之一、賓夕法尼亞大學沃頓商學院預算模型（Penn Wharton Budget Model）主任肯特·斯梅特斯（Kent Smetters）的分析一致。這位首席執行官說：“如果你將其名義化並將債務與 GDP 進行比較，則超過 200%。”“這是一場災難。” 斯梅特斯此前估計，如果沒有重大的政策變革，美國財政部債務可能在約 20 年內無法償還其累積的債務。 哈斯的警告：國家安全視角 哈斯將債務問題與標準的財政鷹派區別開來的是，他堅持認為債務最危險的後果可能根本不是經濟上的——而是戰略上的。他擔心的是，債務將迫使下一任美聯儲主席做出決定。“傑伊·鮑威爾（Jay Powell）的繼任者將不得不提高利率，不是為了給過熱的經濟降溫，而是因為財政部拍賣不會順利進行，”他警告說。到那時，美國可用的政策選擇將遠不如今天有吸引力。 他對政治的看法同樣尖銳。當在場的本編輯指出，的讀者似乎對債務問題特別關注時，哈斯反駁道——不是反駁關注本身，而是反駁這種痴迷是否曾轉化為有意義的政治行動。 “人們說他們對此很痴迷，但他們的政治行為絲毫沒有反映出對債務的擔憂，”他說。 哈斯認為，這種聲稱的焦慮與選舉行為之間的差距，正是問題得以惡化的原因。哈斯沒有指出這一里程碑的特殊背景，即它發生在特朗普總統 2016 年競選承諾在八年內消除國債的十週年紀念日之前約兩週；然而，自那以來，總債務已從 19.9 兆美元翻了一番，包括喬·拜登（Joe Biden）總統四年任期內的增長。 反駁：症狀，而非疾病 並非所有人都對 39 兆美元的數字感到同樣的恐懼。斯梅特斯本人指出，總債務數字的經濟意義有限——它包括政府間債務，如社會保障信託基金，本質上是“政府左手欠右手”。更有意義的數字是公共債務，為 31.3 兆美元。儘管如此，斯梅特斯告訴，“公共債務已超過 31 兆美元，這並不好。” 對危言聳聽的論調更深層次的批評是結構性的：美國以本國貨幣發行債務，並且仍然是世界儲備貨幣的發行國。當全球投資者恐慌時，他們仍然會湧向美國國債，而不是逃離。日本的債務與 GDP 比率多年來一直超過 200%，但其債券市場並未出現批評者長期預測的崩潰。在早些時候接受布雷迪採訪時，哈斯強調日本首相高市早苗（Sanae Takaichi）是“當今世界上最能幹的兩三位領導人之一”。他說日本“一直在認真思考如何適應其不斷變化的人口結構”，並稱其為領導力的絕佳範例。這暗示美國提供了一個對比鮮明的負面例子。 相關的問題不是債務的規模，而是哪些條件最終會打破投資者的信心——而這些條件與治理和地緣政治信譽的關係，與任何資產負債表數字的關係一樣大。 這就是將哈斯的國家安全論點與財政現實聯繫起來的線索。華盛頓機構專業知識的侵蝕、從全球參與中的撤退、哈斯本人週三晚間詳細列舉的機能失調——他認為，這些可能正在加速債務從一個可控問題到真正危機的時間表。債務是症狀。疾病是政治機能失調。而現在，華盛頓沒有人在認真治療其中任何一個。 哈斯說：“總有一天，會有惡果的。” 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

在Disney任命新執行長之前，已確保財務長留任

(SeaPRwire) -   早安。華特迪士尼公司（The Walt Disney Company）的首席執行官（CEO）交接備受矚目，不僅是因為即將上任的人選，更因為公司在任命新CEO數月前就延長了首席財務官（CFO）休·約翰斯頓（Hugh Johnston）的合約，刻意圍繞這次交接建立財務穩定性。 喬許·達馬洛（Josh D’Amaro）在迪士尼任職28年，於週三的年度股東大會上接任首席執行官一職，接替長期擔任CEO的鮑勃·艾格（Bob Iger）。達馬洛於2月3日獲任命此職，最近擔任「迪士尼體驗」（Disney Experiences）部門負責人，該部門涵蓋公司的主題樂園、郵輪、度假村及消費產品業務。 社群媒體上有一些對艾格的讚譽。「你所建立的不是職業生涯，而是一項傳奇（LEGACY），」NBA球星克里斯·保羅（Chris Paul）在LinkedIn貼文中表示。 艾格在迪士尼擁有長期職業生涯，曾於2005年至2020年擔任CEO，其首位繼任者鮑勃·查佩克（Bob Chapek）任職期間爭議不斷，因此艾格於2022年重返職位。他將暫留擔任高級顧問及董事會成員，提前八個月卸任。 派拉蒙全球（Paramount Global）與華納兄弟探索（Warner Bros. Discovery）的潛在合併可能加劇對迪士尼（《財富》500強第46名）的競爭。但達馬洛可能處於領導增長的有利位置。據報導，在他領導下，迪士尼的主題樂園及體驗業務成為公司主要獲利引擎，儘管僅佔總收入不到40%，卻貢獻超過70%的營運利潤。串流服務則是另一大增長動能，已連續數季獲利。 去年11月，迪士尼在新CEO尚未宣布前，就將約翰斯頓的合約延長至2029年1月31日。他於2023年加入迪士尼，此前在百事可樂（PepsiCo）有長期職業生涯。艾格在2023年的聲明中表示，約翰斯頓「確實擁有美國頂尖CFO之一的聲譽」。 在本月稍早的摩根士丹利科技、媒體與電信大會（Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference）上，約翰斯頓稱讚迪士尼的CEO繼任流程是一大優勢。「我可以告訴你們，他們進行了內部和外部的考察，認真篩選候選人，最終得出了一個非常出色的結論，」他表示。 他形容達馬洛與即將擔任公司總裁兼首席創意官（新設職位）的達娜·沃爾登（Dana Walden）為「傑出的成長導向型高管」。此前廣泛報導指出沃爾登曾是CEO人選之一。 「人們對喬許感到興奮，也對整個流程如此順利感到振奮，這帶來了許多動能，」約翰斯頓表示。「大家都知道迪士尼過往的CEO交接歷史，甚至可以追溯到邁克爾·奧維茨（Michael Ovitz）時期。這次的情況與過去截然不同，整個過程非常順利、運作良好，幾乎沒有戲劇性紛擾。」 約翰斯頓重申，迪士尼2026年及2027年每股盈餘（EPS）將實現雙位數增長的目標。談及併購（M&A）時，他表示迪士尼不需要進行重大交易。「我們非常幸運，鮑勃·艾格在擔任CEO期間採取的行動——無論是收購皮克斯（Pixar）、盧卡斯影業（Lucasfilm）、漫威（Marvel），還是後續收購福斯（Fox）——讓我們在建立龐大知識產權（IP）庫方面領先同儕，」他說。 謝麗爾 埃斯特拉達sheryl.estrada@.com本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

This marks the first time a Honda product has won the Gold Award at the iF DESIGN AWARD.As the first Honda electric naked model in the FUN category, the Honda WN7 was developed with the concept of “Be the Wind.” This model represents part of a Honda initiative toward the realization of a carbon neutral society.  Adoption of a frameless structure, with the battery case functioning as the body frame, contributed to the realization of a lightweight body with a great layout flexibility. Moreover, the Honda WN7 features a maximum output of 50 kW, equivalent to a 600 cc ICE (internal combustion engine) motorcycle, and maximum torque of 100 Nm, comparable to a 1000 cc class ICE motorcycle. This ensures powerful yet composed performance both in stop-and-go city riding and cruising on open roads.Honda WN7Key design featuresAiming to “refine functionality and realize the essence of motorcycle design,” the design features seamless and smooth surfacing when it comes in contact with the rider, while combining a distinctive and powerful silhouette. The signature headlight features an iconic horizontal bar design, and the color styling features a black-based body accented by gold component parts.iF Gold StatementThe Honda WN7 electric motorcycle masterfully combines classic motorbike DNA with a confident electric identity. It respects Honda’s legacy while embracing clean-energy aesthetics. The synthesis feels authentic, not forced, resulting in a unique design that is more than the sum of its parts. Bravo!Comments by Toshinobu Minami, Managing Director, Chief Operating Officer, Design Center, Honda R&D Co., Ltd.“The Honda WN7 was able to win the Gold Award in the Product Design discipline of the world-renowned iF DESIGN AWARD. We are extremely honored to receive the Gold Award for the first time ever.  We believe that this is the result of the jury’s understanding of the new value befitting the era of electrification – the joy of riding freely like the wind – from the perspective of both functionality and design. Honda will continue to create new values that surprise and inspire people and provide the joy of expanding their life’s potential.”Honda Design award history:https://global.honda/jp/design/work/#award (Japanese)https://global.honda/en/design/work/#award (English)Official website of the iF DESIGN AWARD:https://ifdesign.com/ja/winner-ranking/project/honda-wn7/740437 (Japanese)https://ifdesign.com/en/winner-ranking/project/honda-wn7/740437 (English)* The iF DESIGN AWARD, established in 1954, stands as a symbol of design excellence and it’s considered one of the world’s leading design awards, alongside the Red Dot Design Award.

Hitachi, The University of Technology Sydney and NTT DATA Sign MoU to Accelerate Green Transformation in Australia

jcn

TOKYO, Mar 19, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, “Hitachi”), The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a strategic partnership aimed at expanding Green Transformation (GX) business in Australia.As Australia pursues a 43% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030, large companies now face increasing pressure under the Australian government’s Safeguard Mechanism to provide transparent, verifiable ESG data to reduce emissions. The demand for practical digital solutions to manage energy consumption has become a priority for the commercial building sector.Under this MoU, the UTS campus will be used as a Living Laboratory, where industry, academia, government and citizens co-create new technologies and services, gathering feedback from users within an environment where services and products are used. This Living Laboratory will serve as a real-world environment for the development, value verification and commercialisation of advanced GX solutions. The parties aim to establish a scalable proving ground for decarbonisation that can be effectively implemented across the Australian market.The first initiative under this MoU is the Australian localisation of Hitachi’s ESG data management solution, EcoAssist-Enterprise. Unlike generic monitoring tools, EcoAssist-Enterprise is being adapted to align with Australia’s stringent environmental frameworks, including the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS). Initial value verification conducted across multiple UTS buildings has confirmed the solution’s applicability in visualising and managing energy consumption within the Australian context. Following this success, the parties will expand the deployment at UTS before wider market rollout.A key differentiator of this partnership is the integration of EcoAssist-Enterprise with NTT DATA’s AIbased air-conditioning optimisation solution, HUCAST, that uses AI to predict weather patterns and human occupancy flows, automatically adjusting air-conditioning systems in real-time. This approach ensures that energy efficiency does not come at the cost of occupant comfort, representing a significant leap in Smart Building technology for the region.Future DevelopmentsBeyond the commercial building sector, Hitachi, UTS and NTT DATA intend to leverage the insights gained from this Living Laboratory to expand GX solutions into other industries.The partnership underscores a shared commitment to positively impact society through responsible innovation. It will accelerate the realisation of a sustainable society in AustraliaAbout Hitachi, Ltd.Through its Social Innovation Business (SIB) that brings together IT, OT (Operational Technology) and products, Hitachi contributes to a harmonized society where the environment, wellbeing, and economic growth are in balance. Hitachi operates globally in four sectors – Digital Systems & Services, Energy, Mobility, and Connective Industries – and the Strategic SIB Business Unit for new growth businesses. With Lumada at its core, Hitachi generates value from integrating data, technology and domain knowledge to solve customer and social challenges.

(SeaPRwire) -   有媒體報導聲稱Binance協助與受制裁伊朗實體相關的資金流動，此說法已遭駁斥。與此同時，整體加密貨幣市場再度升溫，BNB逼近700美元，Monero也錄得強勁漲幅。 在此背景下，近期的DeepSnitch AI價格預測在交易員中相當受歡迎。該專案已籌集超過220萬美元，並從0.0151美元顯著飆升3倍至0.04487美元，成為尋求指數級回報者的焦點。 隨著興趣增加，DeepSnitch AI的預測和價格目標指向潛在的爆炸性上市階段。 Binance駁斥協助受制裁伊朗實體資金流動的指控 媒體流傳著Binance協助與受制裁伊朗實體相關資金流動的說法。Binance已發表聲明駁斥這些指控，解釋其具有誤導性且不符合實際情況。 在X平台的貼文中，Binance聯席執行長Richard Teng詳細駁斥了這些指控。他解釋媒體報導中的若干說法與事實不符。 他進一步說明，沒有員工因合規問題被解僱，且他們並未違反美國或國際間的任何制裁規定。 DeepSnitch AI上市後價格預測：為何4美元目標有望達成 儘管有Binance的新聞和市場其他監管動態，DeepSnitch AI的價格預測使DSNT成為焦點，尤其是在其上市日期公佈後。現在，投資者正搶在預售優惠結束前把握機會。 DeepSnitch AI是一個以AI為動力的智能網絡，具備五個獨特的AI代理和一個探索工具。這些代理執行不同功能，並透過獨特的UX布局運作，讓新舊用戶都能輕鬆使用和理解平台。 或許推動DSNT 100倍預測的最重要因素是，DeepSnitch AI代理確實是交易員的天堂。SnitchGPT執行即時研究，讓用戶能在瞭解市場的情況下交易；SnitchFeed協助用戶追蹤市場情緒；AuditSnitch驗證新代幣地址，並標記哪些是安全的、哪些是可疑的。 這些代理與SnitchCast、SnitchScan和探索工具一起，提供了一套經得起時間考驗的高級實用套件。隨著採用率可能提升，用戶不必擔心其持有的價值增長問題，這確保了長期的相關性。事實上，許多人認為DeepSnitch AI可能成為全球交易員的日常工具。 因此，距離3月31日截止日期只剩幾週，投資者紛紛購買該代幣並享受其獎勵。上市後緊迫性只會增加，因為DeepSnitch AI的價格預測顯示該代幣可能飆升100倍，意味著4美元的目標。   BNB月漲6%後，投資者目標看向700美元 BNB在市場上再度走強，從2月23日的619美元上漲6%，截至3月17日達到668美元。 儘管加密貨幣市場情緒變化，心理價位700美元顯然仍在視線範圍內。 分析師指出，重新積累和技術強勢是積極指標，且突破700美元絕非遙不可及。 Monero帶領隱私幣反彈，XMR月漲7% Monero（XMR）表現優於大多數加密貨幣市場，從2月23日的331美元上漲7%，截至3月17日達到372美元。 這種上漲趨勢反映出對隱私導向資產的重新興趣，因為交易員將資金轉向具有強大身份保護功能的代幣。 隨著XMR持續在關鍵心理水位以上交易，對其價格走勢的興趣將持續上升，突破400美元的可能性非常大。 結論 到目前為止，即使BNB和Monero的動能也未能蓋過DeepSnitch AI的價格預測。隨著即將上市的需求上升，其走勢只會向上。 除了增長潛力外，其預售激勵措施也推動了這種增長。參與預售的投資者仍可獲得獎勵優惠，也就是說，購買10,000美元可獲得222,866枚DSNT代幣。使用150%的獎勵代碼（DSNTVIP150）可將其增加到557,165枚DSNT代幣。 這些獎勵優惠進一步推動了DeepSnitch AI的價格預測，該專案已被視為本輪周期的巨大機會。 造訪DeepSnitch AI的網站，並查看其X和Telegram以瞭解最新動態。 常見問題 DeepSnitch AI在2026周期的價格預測是什麼？ DeepSnitch AI在2026周期的價格預測非常樂觀，許多分析師指出，快速採用將帶動強大的增長潛力。 DeepSnitch AI在預售後仍會繼續增長嗎？ 是的，DeepSnitch AI的設計考慮了長期實用性，這支持其在預售階段後的增長。隨著更多用戶採用DeepSnitch AI的工具和生態系統，其價值預計會增加。 DeepSnitch AI打算如何維持市場相關性？ DeepSnitch AI透過持續創新來保持相關性。隨著交易員每天使用DeepSnitch AI工具進行交易，這確保了長期增長。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

MHI Thermal Systems Expands Lineup of Air-to-Water Heat Pumps for the European Market

jcn

Hydrolution EZY Series (Left: 6 kW, 7.1 kW Right: 10 kW, 14 kW)TOKYO, Mar 19, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has expanded its lineup in the "Hydrolution EZY" series of air-to-water (ATW) heat pumps for the European market that utilize R290 natural refrigerant. New models with capacities of 10kW and 14kW have been added to the two existing 6kW and 7.1kW models to meet a wide range of needs in the region. MHI Thermal Systems plans to release the new models successively in European markets starting this spring.ATW heat pumps extract heat from the air to supply cold and hot water for hot water supply, heating, and cooling. The monobloc type models added to the lineup have a water heat exchanger built into the outdoor unit, so only water lines need to be fitted, allowing for easier installation than split-type ATWs, which require refrigerant pipe connections. In addition, R290 refrigerant has an extremely low global warming potential of 0.02,(Note) and has been attracting attention, mainly in the increasingly tight regulatory environment of Europe, for its high energy efficiency and low environmental impact.The newly added 10kW and 14kW models, like the 6kW and 7.1kW models, have the basic features of high temperature hot water supply, high efficiency, low noise, and safety. Modifications to components to be compatible with the new refrigerant, and the adoption of a new in-house developed compressor, allow the units to maintain a high flow temperature of 75℃ under a wide range of conditions, from an outside temperature of minus 25℃ to plus 43℃. The 10kW and 14kW models are also equipped with separate electronic expansion valves for heating and cooling, allowing for optimal control and high efficiency over a wide range. For low noise operation, the units have a double vibration isolation structure, a triple sound-absorbing structure, and a large fan, and can be set to quiet mode to further reduce operating noise, thereby providing flexibility to comply with noise regulations in densely populated residential areas. Additionally, the units have been designed with safety in mind, and are equipped with a refrigerant leak detection sensor.The design concept is the same as that for the 6kW and 7.1kW models. The units are black to blend seamlessly with European residences, and are fitted with a fan guard accented with a silver vertical stripe. The structure makes it difficult to see the fan from an angle, completing an exterior design that is powerful and sophisticated, while also blending into the background in a variety of installation environments. The only difference in appearance from the 6kW and 7.1kW models is the height, creating a sense of cohesion even when multiple units are installed.In terms of power supply specifications, the 10kW and 14kW models offer a single-phase 230V power supply or a newly added three-phase 400V power supply, making them suitable for a wider variety of installation environments and power supply requirements. Control specifications, as with the 6kW and 7.1kW models, allow for up to eight outdoor units to be connected and controlled with a single indoor control unit, allowing for use in buildings of various sizes.In October 2021, MHI Group announced its MISSION NET ZERO declaration to reduce CO2 emissions throughout the corporate group and achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, including cutting emissions from its own plants and other production-related facilities, as well as reducing CO2 emissions at customer facilities that use MHI Group products. The Hydrolution EZY series, by supporting the transition from boiler combustion using fossil fuels that emit high concentrations of CO2 to ATW using electricity, can contribute significantly to the promotion of carbon neutrality in European countries, and help MHI Group achieve its environmental goals.Going forward, MHI Thermal Systems will continue to develop environmentally friendly technologies, and by taking advantage of synergies that leverage the company's broad business foundation in the heating and cooling sector, provide optimal thermal solutions, and contribute to carbon neutrality in countries around the world.(Note) Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a coefficient expressing the greenhouse effect of a gas relative to carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a fixed GWP of 1.0. The lower the value, the lower the greenhouse effect and the better for the environment. The GWP value of "0.02" is based on the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense. MHI Group combines cutting-edge technology with deep experience to deliver innovative, integrated solutions that help to realize a carbon neutral world, improve the quality of life and ensure a safer world.

SBI 推出日本首個獲許可的 USDC 借貸服務，提供 10% 年化回報

hk_news

重點整理 SBI VC Trade 向散戶投資者推出為期12週、收益率10%的USDC出借服務。 日本境內穩定幣出借收益超越傳統美元存款。 收益低於20萬日元的小額USDC投資可享受免稅優惠。 定期出借確保高收益，但流動性受限。 SBI 透過受監管的區塊鏈服務拓展日本USDC生態系。 (SeaPRwire) -   SBI Holdings旗下子公司將於2026年3月19日在日本推出USDC出借服務，該服務允許用戶將USDC出借給平台以賺取定期收益。首波方案期限為12週，年利率10%，高於一般美元存款利率。 正常市場狀況下，平台將持續提供年利率約5%的USDC出借服務。該服務開放給零售客戶使用，每次方案每人最高可出借5000 USDC。此產品是日本首個面向普通大眾的持牌穩定幣出借服務。 此次上線讓SBI VC Trade成為受監管穩定幣服務領域的先驅。該公司自2025年3月起就已開展USDC相關業務，具備充足的市場熟悉度與營運經驗。本次推出的USDC出借產品結合了區塊鏈技術與SBI集團的金融專業能力。 高回報與稅務優勢 與傳統美元定期存款相比，USDC出借的年利率更高。一般3個月外幣存款的年利率落在0.01%到4%之間，罕見的優惠利率最高也僅5%。相比之下，USDC出借能為日本客戶帶來更穩定、更具競爭力的回報。 該出借產品針對小額投資提供潛在稅務優惠。根據日本稅法規定，USDC收益屬於雜項收入，金額低於20萬日元即可免稅。用戶可從小額投資開始參與，無需承擔外幣存款適用的20.315%固定預扣稅。 SBI強調該服務易於使用、操作簡便，出借人在出借期間無需進行額外操作即可自動賺取使用費，讓首次投資美元的用戶也能輕鬆、高效地參與。 服務細則與營運架構 每波USDC出借服務的標準期限為12週，客戶獲得的租賃費用按年利率乘以出借天數計算。申請將依序審核，每個帳戶每次方案僅可參加一次。 透過該服務借出的USDC可由SBI VC Trade轉借，因此用戶需承擔交易對手風險。資金未進行獨立隔離，公司的營運穩定性將直接影響還款。客戶無法提前終止合約，這一規定雖然限制了流動性，但能保障固定的定期收益。 出借期間若因區塊鏈分叉產生新代幣，平台不會予以補償，客戶在合約到期時將收回數量、種類與出借時完全相同的USDC。這一架構與傳統銀行存款不同，更依賴出借方的經營穩定性而非市場擔保。 SBI拓展USDC生態系 SBI透過合作夥伴關係與監管核准持續擴大其USDC布局，該公司已與Circle Internet Financial、Startale合作推廣穩定幣的普及。SBI的相關舉措旨在日本境內提供更多元的美元計價投資選擇。 本次推出的USDC出借產品與SBI現有的數位資產產品線互補，提供了一種受監管、高回報的穩定幣市場參與管道。此次上線強化了日本的數位資產生態系，同時推動USDC的更廣泛應用。 這項新產品為持牌穩定幣出借服務建立了先例，結合區塊鏈技術與傳統金融專業能力，提供安全、高收益的投資機會。用戶可在規範化的架構下安心出借USDC，同時賺取具競爭力的回報。  本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Moving forward, the payload will be manufactured and integrated into the satellite bus, the common functional component of the satellite, which is scheduled for launch into Earth’s orbit in fiscal year 2027.Rendering of a Small Technology Demonstration SatelliteIn satellite constellations where numerous satellites collaborate and function together, optical communication is increasingly favored over conventional radio for satellite-to-satellite communications. This shift aims to avoid communication interference and enable high-capacity data transmission. However, in order to equip a large number of small satellites with optical communication devices, it is necessary to shorten the development and manufacturing times and reduce costs. Therefore, it is important to utilize general-purpose technologies that are highly functional, high-performance, and have a proven track record of mass production.Furthermore, in optical communication satellite constellations—which consist of tens to thousands of satellites and function as high-speed, dynamically moving mesh networks—high computational power is required for routing processes that enable low-latency, high-capacity communications in orbit. Consequently, high-performance applications are needed that differ from routing designs based on terrestrial network environments.Against this backdrop, NEC will conduct demonstrations of the underlying technologies needed to solve these challenges.Overview of the Technology Demonstration SatelliteThe technology demonstration satellite will conduct the following demonstrations in orbit. This will enable the acquisition of insights that are difficult to obtain using ground-based test facilities, thereby enhancing competitiveness.1. Demonstration of Radiation-Hardened Design for Commercial Optical TransceiversNEC will evaluate the radiation-hardened design for space environments of low-cost, high-performance commercial optical transceivers capable of enabling high-capacity transmission even on small satellites.2. Demonstration of High-Speed Network Routing Processing Technology in SpaceNEC will conduct operational verification using a Versal(TM) Adaptive SoC (*1) device manufactured by U.S.-based AMD, Inc. (*2) for high-performance signal processing, as a key technology required for high-speed network routing processing of data transmission via optical communication satellite constellations. Furthermore, aiming to enhance future satellite development, NEC will also demonstrate the effectiveness of an application development methodology that integrates NEC's accumulated satellite technology assets with generative AI.3. Demonstration of Next-Generation Millimeter-Wave Band Communication TechnologyIn anticipation of a future shift to higher frequency bands that will enable high-speed, large-capacity data transmission, NEC will demonstrate the operation of millimeter-wave Q/V-band transceiver equipment (*3). The equipment will also communicate with ground stations to acquire data on radio wave propagation characteristics.The bus, which constitutes the common functional component of this satellite, will consist of the compact Aries satellite bus, an existing product of U.S.-based Apex Technology (APEX, *4).Comments from each company regarding this matter are as follows."NEC is exactly the kind of partner we built Apex for — a world-class technology leader pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in orbit.
