How long will the new “government” last then?
Certainly not 1st world, not even 3rd world, more like Uganda or N Korea in the making.
What strike? What shortage?

@2. So there's no strike. And we know where you aren't. It's a lovely attitude. Not affecting you at present. And you don't 'work' in anything worthwhile. Bet you're a 'student'. Never done anything and 'Think' you know it all. But you got one word right. 'Simple'. As you are! You need to leave commenting to those of your classmates with a brain. Just the one brain between them. Oh look, there's a shortage. Do what you do best. Go out and murder someone! I'd suggest your mother and/or father. But you don't know who they are, do you?

Brazil needs a Thatcher not a Dilma.

The price of goods and services needs to reflect their real cost, so that people know what they're dealing with.

No strikes, no shortages, no corruption in Petrobrás, no government incompetence, no poor people....Any idiot that reads the shite you write and believes it, must think Brazil, socially speaking, is a paradise.....for a parasite like you, it probably is.
