This type of thinking of what allows the problems to exist. Even if it isn't as bad as before, it should be criticized and protested to stop things from getting worse and to help things get better.


Yeah, I know, the social inequality here in south america as a whole, i think, is very comon... :/

Yeah, and I feel bad for many of them. I have to imagine myself in that position, living in horrible conditions and with horrible wages, but too afraid to speak out as if protesting doesn't get enough support and fails things could get even worse. I hope that things will improve, but I understand why people are weary to speak out against it.

so it will get richer like Argentinia is?

Well, I live here also, in Brasilia, and it seems that you're exagerating things a bit. It is difficult, but we've been through worse times.
Brazil is a great place to live if you're rich, but if you're poor, you're f*cked

Prices in Argentina are ridiculous especially in technology. That's what you get with an incompetent president.. things are getting worse in my country too, sad to live in South America really.

Things are not that expensive here anymore.

 

Everybody I meet says they are in a bad time but nobody stopped to drink a lot of beer and makes/go parties yet.

The situation is not THAT bad.

BTW. The situation is way better than Argentina crysis or some EU counties for example...


Completely agree with you. People say things are bad, but nobody had to make a drastic change in his/her life. The only diference now is that U$ is worth more than it used to compared to R$.

I'd say that there is a politic crisis though, because most politicians just thing about their own interests. I see that these times could mean that the country is changing for better, that people will not accept some situations anymore and we finally have a strong sense of democracy.

Also, I'd like to say that most Brazilians just don't help to give a good image to our country. Brazilians always say everthing is worse or everthing is wrong here. I just imagine what people from other countries think that is going on here after reading such things, they must think we live in hell. Interesting that most people who come here are surprised to see that it is actually a good place. I'm not saying it's perfect, because we do have many problems, but it is not even close to beeing bad. 


Pretty much this.

 

I don't know if this help, but something that changed with the brazillian mindset is that we're getting more economic. After the hidric crisis when the water bills raised like a rocket, people got more conscient. People are now having priorities and are only buying things for necessisity, not for luxury. Maybe these changes have impacted on the economy since people here are thinking more before buying



 

 

We reap what we sow

Did you not read my last post? I basically stated that I sympathize with the people that are too afraid to come out.

I know that I should do it and that this may not be a very good excuse, but I highly doubt that many people would want to side with an anarcho-communist.



Just read some older posts and people from almost all coutries that commented here said almost the same thing. So, saying bad things about your home country is not an exclusivity from Brazil.

I also would like to add that it is very offensive the way that some people here refer to Venezuela and Argentina. We, Latin Americans, really need to improve somethings, like the respect for each other. This just shows that our problems with politicians start with ourselves. If we can't show respect for the other, why would we expect the politicians to do so? They are people like all of us, they (literally) reflect our choices and values.

Yeah, and I think all of the South Americas Countries are going through the same crisis. Some places is worse than others, but yeah. We all need to work together in this. 



Things are bad, yes, the problems is we hardly care. We get more worked up about people closing streets making protests than about payng double for what was alreadly expensive. We are really, really passive. No surprise people in power get away with everything.

Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
