Oh. We don't hear that much news/information about Brazil these days except for their relationship/alliance with BRICS

 

[Joe]

It's as if the only nations that matter these days are Canada, Europe & China.

The Hilux is a helluva beast, @Seamajor

 

[Joe]

And after that, nobody else matters. But of course the reality is the world is much bigger than that & every other nation's economy matters.

Economical Increases exports, Promotes diversification of the industrial base, Facilitates trade and investments, Allows bargaining in multilateral forums, Expands the capital base of the BRICS bank.

In short - pure political bullshit and probably used for mostly money laundering

Trying to export anything to China is a pain in the ass, just like to any other country

The other day they stopped buying beef from several companies here because they complained about sanitary conditions

 

[Joe]

I've often thought the 1st World countries media slags Brazil because most of its population is Brown and isn't White.

 

[Joe]

They did this to Brail during their Olympics. yet the thruth be known Brazil did a much better job hosting its Olympics than many other cities.

 

[Joe]

Including China's and Vancouver's.

Yeah Joe, it costs us a shitload of money, we were left a shitload of useless infrastructure and it was one of the reasons people booted Dilma in 2016

 

[Joe]

Vancouver's was a fuckin' mess cuz the Premier at the time refused to move the skiing events to Whistler mtn where they had some snow.

That's how great the Olympics was

 

[Joe]

and yet judged solely upon performance I think that Brazil's effort was better than average, and most of the recent Olympiads.

 

[Joe]

I think there was a incident where an American swimmer hurled racist incidents at the locals there.

Yeah, well, I'm glad you enjoyed it watching it, because I sure as hell didn't enjoy paying for it, as most brazilian taxpayers

 

[Joe]

Brazil def did a better job than Vancouver, and it was many times larger and had to accommodate many more sports and athletes.

 

[The Prowler]

Hahaha!!! Senile @Joe read something about the Olympics in Brazil, so he wants to talk about it. In 15 mintues he will forget everything!!!

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

We're the kind of the country stupid enough to host a World Cup and Olympics in sucession

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

I'm glad you enjoy it, no, really

 

[Joe]

Just saying from an objective POV they were pretty decent. Better than Russia's and Greece too.

 

[Joe]

Vancouver couldn't get it into their fuckin' minds to move the skiing events to a mountain that actually had snow.

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

But you know what, Joe? Ours cost 13 billions, but the Russian blew almost 60 billions on theirs. And it was a winter one.

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

So I'm done saying anything

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

But these BRICS fellas sure know how to host expensive events, that's for sure

But you know what, Joe? Ours cost 13 billions, but the Russians blew almost 60 billions on theirs. And it was a winter one.

 

[Joe]

Greece's Olympic Effort offcially cost $10 Billion. adjusted for inflation it was about the same cost as Brazil's. and Greece barely got the venues completed on time. They were marred by strikes, refusal of Greek workers to get the job done.

 

[Joe]

I thought the American media especially was condescending and racist towards Brazil and they were the shittiest and most ungracious guests towards a hot country.
