Fans of the Mortal Kombat series have noticed a detail that will make Johnny Cage a truly special character in the upcoming MK1. The fact is that the Hollywood star will be the only Western character in the main roster of fighters. Whereas all the other fighters available for the game are Asians or represent other nations far from the West. According to Reddit users, this is due to the fact that the plot of Mortal Kombat 1 will be associated with a purely Eastern theme. In addition, the number of western fighters will increase significantly with the release of DLC. Characters from the DLC will be able to become cameo fighters in Mortal Kombat 1It was previously reported that Mortal Kombat 1 will add microtransactions and many cosmetic items.Top photo: MK11

Not only oligarchs themselves, but also their parents, children and spouses were targeted by the European Union in the course of the sanctions. The reason for this is obvious: villas, yachts and foundations often do not belong to the businessmen themselves, but to their family members. The EU wants to put a stop to possible bypass constructs.

Wall Street ends lower, profit taking in a lackluster market

The New York Stock Exchange ended lower on Wednesday in a lackluster market marked by profit-taking in the absence of new major economic indicators, once morest the backdrop of the specter of inflation.
The Dow Jones lost 0.57%, the Nasdaq dropped 1.06% and the broader S&P 500 gave up 0.70%.
“There is a kind of unease today,” reacted Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers.
Added to concerns regarding rising rates and the oil boom on Tuesday was the feeling that “China is not stimulating its economy as much as the market had hoped”, added the analyst, s relying on targeted measures and not a major recovery plan, as has been the case in the past.
Still on China, “the fact that they’re going following Apple weighed on the market, because it’s the biggest capitalization.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, the authorities have banned employees of government agencies from professional use of the iPhone, or even, for holders of the Apple smartphone, from taking it to their place of work. The directive would also affect other non-Chinese phone models.
The Cupertino company lost more than $100 billion in market capitalization in Wednesday’s session alone (-3.58%).
Besides Apple, “we saw profit taking on all the big players in tech,” noted Steve Sosnick.
The darling of Wall Street this year, Nvidia, thus lost 3.05%, followed by Amazon (1.39%) and Alphabet (-0.98%).
These four stocks weighing a quarter of the Nasdaq, they alone dragged the index down.
Overall, the variations nevertheless remained moderate, in a New York square that was not very lively.
“I didn’t see any nervousness or fear today,” said Steve Sosnick. “It’s more of a general sentiment that there aren’t a lot of positives to pull the market, which is entering a traditionally tough time,” September being the worst month of the year for equities.
The VIX volatility index, which measures the possible feverishness of investors, has certainly risen in recent days but remains at a very low level.
Elsewhere on the value chart, shared office specialist WeWork took a shine (-3.38%) following the publication of a letter from chief executive David Tolley, according to which the amount of rent to be paid each month by the group “remains too high”.
The New York company, which had recognized last month that its survival was at stake, has thus begun the renegotiation of “almost all” of its leases to reduce its charges.
The Canadian oil pipeline giant Enbridge was mistreated (-5.89%) following the announcement, Tuesday following the stock market, of the acquisition of assets from the American energy company Dominion Energy (-1.80%), for 14 billion dollars in total including debt.
Comcast rose (+0.83%), as a deadline approaches for the sale to Disney (-0.26%) by the cable operator of its stake in the Hulu streaming platform, of which it owns a third of the capital. Managing Director Brian Roberts felt that the value of the platform had increased and justified a higher price than originally set.
Cinema operator AMC (-36.80%), whose share price is extremely volatile, paid the announcement of a program to issue 40 million new shares, the proceeds of which will be used , according to the group, to deleverage and strengthen its cash position.
Manchester United rebounded (+2.17%) following its slide the day before (-18.22%), amid doubts regarding the sale of the club by the Glazer family, majority shareholder.

Massa promised to eliminate the income tax for workers if he is President

Sergio MassaMinister of Economy and presidential candidate of Unión por la Patria, announced this Wednesday that he plans to eliminate income tax that employees with the highest income must pay, in case they reach the Presidency on December 10.
“If I am president, the workers will not pay profits”assured Massa in the context of the program Minute Oneconducted by Gustavo Sylvestre, broadcast on the screen C5N.
Likewise, the head of the Palacio de Hacienda recalled that the tax burden of this tax for employees is being reduced.
“I am going to send a law with the topic Profits if I am president, or there before”said the Minister of Economy.
In addition, he charged once morest the “directors of companies that do not pay profits for exemptions that they have.”
On the other hand, he confirmed that the draft Budget for 2024 that he will send to Congress will have “tax surplus”in the framework of an interview in C5N in which he dedicated himself to attacking the proposals of his competitors, Javier Milei and Patricia Bullrich, ahead of the presidential elections on October 22.
“Miilei’s mask fell off,” argued Sergio Massa
The candidate for president of Unión por la Patria criticized this Wednesday, September 6, the “adjustment and dollarization” plan proposed by the libertarian candidate, Javier Mileywhom he severely criticized for his statements regarding the exchange rate that he would implement in case of dollarizing the economy.
“Which [Javier Milei] sold even the PASO as dollarization, is actually the 100% devaluation that the International Monetary Fund asked us four months agopreluded by an adjustment that, in terms of people’s daily life, represents going from public universities to paying universities, that the train ticket becomes worth $1,100, that the bus ticket becomes worth $650,” Massa explained during the program Minute One (C5N).
In that sense, Massa questioned the statements of Javier Milei during the 9th edition of the Latam Economic Forum, where the economist had calculated the exchange rate in case of dollarization. “Today it would be at the price of the CCL, which is trading at $730,” said the leader of La Libertad Avanza.
Regarding these statements, Massa expressed in the program hosted by the journalist Gustavo Sylvester that “one thing is to speak with nice phrases and another thing is to take it to the numbers of the people”.
For the minister, to the libertarian “His mask fell off. When Milei says $730, she’s talking regarding a 100% devaluation“.
“According to him, there are too many people in the job market. That means that the program is the same as that of the entire Argentine right: adjustment and devaluation. They disguise it as a flirtatious thing, they put dollarization on it… The way out of Argentina is to export more than it imports and make the Central Bank strong by accumulating reserves“, considered Sergio Massa.
Survey: Milei adds a couple of points, Massa remains the same and Bullrich falls ahead of October
Measures that the Government is preparing to ‘mitigate’ inflation in August
Regarding the immediate measures that he would take if he were the next national president, Massa stated that he plans to eliminate the income tax, even before the end of Alberto Fernández’s term.
“If I am President, the workers will not pay Income Tax. Or, there, before. And I’m not like (Mauricio) Macri, because I’ve already been lowering it. I raised it from Congress, I raised it once more from the Executive and soon I am going to send a law with the subject of Profits,” declared the Unión por la Patria candidate.
“Why don’t we compare how much they charge the laburante while company directors do not pay Income Tax for exemptions that they have from the tax point of view?”, said the Minister of Economy in C5N.
Regarding the 22% devaluation resulting from the new IMF demands to meet the goals of the last review of the agreement, the head of the Palacio de Hacienda indicated that from the Economy portfolio they are studying “measures to offset the damage of inflation”which would be applied in the coming months.
“We are going to continue with measures for retirees and workers,” said the minister in Minute One. “We are going to continue compensating for the damage caused by inflation in August, also knowing that September, October and November are going to go down a path of reduction of what inflation was in August and that is going to allow us to improve the income level of the worker”, Massa graphed.
