Justo estoy teniendo la misma experiencia con @skycontigo @skymexico. En WhatsApp te mandan a la línea telefónica; allí te envían a una opción que no existe; en la app no puedes cancelar. Cuando les reclamas, te ignoran. Es claramente una práctica corporativa @Profeco
Para variar, otra empresa abusiva y ladrona en México @skycontigo @skymexico ni te dejan cancelar un servicio y cuando les dejas de pagar hostigan sin parar.
That was the worst World Cup final in ages mostly because Argentina is such a horrible team: violent, pedestrian, cry-babies, a bunch of cheaters. Gladly, they didn’t prevail. We live another day to fight FIFA and awful Argentinian football.

Read the UN report on GDP. What we aim to maximize makes big difference. I realized this when a friend told me every 10 min jogging increases life by 8 min. I began jogging. Then it struck me every 10 min jogging cuts my non-jogging time on earth by 2 min.

GDP measures economic activity. It doesn´t tell us whether progress is shared, whether societies are thriving, or whether today’s prosperity is undermining tomorrow. That is why the Beyond GDP conversation matters. Read the High-Level Expert Group Report

After a long absence, returning to this space. Big moment coming Thursday at the UN. #BeyondGDP

"You want to limit billionaires’ (1) ostentatious consumption, (2) political influence, and (3) media power.
The need to limit (or thus to punish by exorbitant taxation) ostentatious consumption is to maintain a society where huge differences in wealth, while some may be unavoidable, are not displayed in front of everyone and cannot become the object of adoration or of hate.
The goal of (2) is to make billionaires (which despite everything will still have disproportionate political influence) more like other members of community or nation. We are not talking here of democracy but of isonomia, a much better term to indicate an approximately equal influence of all individuals in political decision-making. Today’s so-called democracies are places without any semblance of isonomia precisely because the political power of the rich is unconstrained.
Finally, (3) is needed for the same reason as (2): to limit the power of a few.
A pedagogical tax

Get Thomas Frank out as soon as possible. He’s timid, limited in his tactics, and completely out of his depth. He’s got no excuse to play this poorly week in and week out.

GDP is important but the obsession with GDP is doing damage to the planet & making us look away from the huge inequalities in today’s world. It’s time to go “Beyond GDP.” This was a fascinating discussion with the Beyond Lab. Read:

Mexico’s retrograde path on the rule of law on.ft.com/3Xsa6N4
Looks like we’re getting close to runaway climate change. Anyone in Mexico City in the last few weeks can attest to the unbearable and abnormal temperatures.
Last June was the warmest on record,
last July too,
last August too,
last September too,
last October too,
last November too,
last December too,
last January too,
and last February too.

Un modelo de negocios donde se prefiere una columna de propaganda con prosa infantil a una columna critica de análisis escrita con pulcritud no es un modelo sostenible. @Reforma pierde mucha credibilidad con sus decisiones recientes. Allá quienes toman estas decisiones.
Pésima decisión de @reforma, que hoy ya es peor periódico que ayer. Carlos (@carlosbravoreg) tiene una mente lúcida, crítica y preocupada, además de una prosa muy clara. En tiempos como los que vivimos haven falta más columnas como las suyas.
Aston Villa is running over Man City. Can't remember ever seeing a Guardiola team so thoroughly dominated.
