    The Brazil controls the prices of nearly all agricultural and livestock products on the planet Earth.
    The next step is to bring to South America the major commodity exchanges too.
    The Western speculators are vile and wish to dominate markets producing very little or nothing.

    We, South Americans, should be able to change that environment hostile to our interests.
    We, South Americans, are the largest agricultural producers in the world and Westerners speculate about the fruit of our labor.

    This is wrong and we need to fight!

    You're either ignorant, stupid along with an outright moron to think a world commodity trading center would ever be put in a undeveloped country. You fucked up the chance with the World Cup and the OCO is more than concerned about you fucking up the Olympics.

    “In an interview with The Associated Press, Francesco Ricci Bitti said Rio's troubled preparations are reaching a stage where some sports may need to consider ”Plan B“ options for their venues.”

    You can't play a game and you want to trade commodities?

    “The Western speculators are vile and wish to dominate markets producing very little or nothing.”

    Seriously? Agriculturally, the US produces very little, or nothing?

    You don't say very intelligent things sometimes. You are why commodities aren't traded in Brazil.

    “The Australian, who has made six visits to Rio as a member of the IOC Coordination Commission overseeing the Games, painted a dire picture of the progress being made, which he said was of ”critical concern”

    Really.....a commodity echange? You can't host a sporting event let alone deal with commodities. I think this will be the last time SA sees the World Cup and the Olympics.

    The last time Brazilian coffee took a nose dive, coffee boomed in Papua New Guinea. PNG would love to see your coffee production decline.
    Brazil is not indispensable, Brasileiro, no matter how much you wish it so.
