Your rant is so off the track with a populist tone that I don't even know how to start a proper response to it. You complain about stuff that have no basis for discussion considering all the points the article make, like, you failed to even disagree with its 3-line-long summary. The Tucuruí dam mentioned near at the end of the article had a small village next to it (which is now a town). I was born and raised there, and I saw most of the problems the article raises happening in front of me for years, and guess what? It's still a fucking poor devastated area without much human development after decades. I think I can confidently call your comment BS.

When the damn starts working, they will get very nice royalties from the electric generation.

Tucuruí was built over 30 years ago, how's that working out for them?

Sorry, my mistake. I thought it was about Belo Monte.

Don't forget about the ability of our political class to divert money.
