If true, Brazil really is becoming a beast. Do you have some link to official data and whether the figure is gross or net?

Maybe I've been swayed, if a movie is filmed in Brazil you'll see things like the favelas in Fast Five. If it's filmed in Croatia you'll see things like Game of Throne's King's Landing (filmed in Dubrovnik). There aren't things like favelas in Croatia. There are some shanty towns occupied by gypsies but on a much smaller scale, and the situation is no where near as bad as in Serbia.

It's funny how some of the things most iconic to Brazil are poor people.

just opened a link after a google search

it also seems to be always much higher in november and especially december, maybe extra payments and bonuses or whatever.

numbers are from the "Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, Brazil" and they use "real salaries" whatever that means.

about croatia, i was once there but that is already too long ago to remember and all i remember is that i drank a lot of  "pipi" (which was funny because we say pipi to urine in germany and the colour is almost the same lol)


The name comes from Pippi Longstocking, which you should know, lol. Impossible to find these days.
