Ya de vuelta a casa después de una #RetroBarcelona llena de experiencias maravillosas y gente bonita. He hecho un hilo de agradecimientos en la red del pájaro porque está todo el mundo allí.
Pero aquí también quiero dar las gracias a todas y cada una de las personas que ha venido a la mesa redonda y las que se han acercado al stand de #HéroesDePapel y de #RBA a que les firmara un Resilibro, un Kratitos o un Brujerlibro. Espero traeros un rincón de lectura feliz.
Sure, it costs businesses money to deal with cash, but it always has. Isn't making customers pay extra for a cost that should already be priced into product or service delivery double dipping?
What we really should be talking about is how companies like banks are mining transaction #data and usin g it to profile people #SurveillanceCapitalism
#cash is still less traceable than card, and I am tired of being tracked and surveilled digitally.
I am appalled this is the thinking of the #RBA - it's clear whose interests they are serving.
why the #rba is living in an ivory tower of theoretical ideas which have nothing to do with reality but do harm real people in their cacophony of incompetence 🤬 #profit#billionaires#bullshit
RBA: "The latest reading on CPI inflation indicates that while goods price inflation has eased further, the prices of many services are continuing to rise briskly."
And why is that? Because the poorer segments of our society insists on spending more on services like power, communications, water, and repairs than is necessary, or because companies charge like wounded bulls while paying massive Executive bonuses because they know they will get away with it?
RBA: "The Board judged an increase in interest rates was warranted today to be more assured that inflation would return to target in a reasonable timeframe."
I'm sorry, but I find it hard to trust the RBA Board after their ludicrous performance during the initial COVID-19 years.
Upping the interest rate will hurt the poorest the most. That seems to be the go-to for the RBA Board, populated by people who don't have to give a second thought to how they will eat tonight or where they can sleep safely.

What would you say if I told you there was a social terror organisation operating in Australia.
They have seriously harmed more than 3 million Australians, are indifferent to the suffering they cause, they are beholden to foreign influence, are prepared to sacrifice civilians for their cause and they openly and brazenly intended to cause even more harm.
Their name?…….
The Reserve Bank of Australia #auspol#rba#costofliving
I can fully understand why the Reserve Bank would want to raise interest rates even further.
Without this measure the cost of living might become so inflated that many people could become homeless or have to choose between rent and food.
We wouldn't want that now would we?
Secret #RBA documents reveal even high-income, middle-class #Aussies are in financial crisis.
Details of briefings inside the Reserve Bank that you were never meant to see have been released – and they show growing concern about a rapidly worsening crisis. #ausecon
Drivers face pump pain as profits fuel #inflation debate
>Think tank The Australia Institute and unions have been arguing companies have been charging more than their growing input costs and pushing up inflation and this was doing more to drive up prices than expanding worker pay packets.
The index, which tracks the impact of unemployment, inflation and interest rates, is going in the wrong direction amid the Reserve Bank’s aggressive tightening of monetary policy.
