I meant on my commute/Amazon comment in regards that people would rather have it developed, so they can all profit from it, because they need it, rather than have it. If you are an American living in Brazil, you didn't see too much of how it's to to be born there in a very poor family suffering all kinds of abuse as in less developed regions you barely got light or proper education. I didn't live exactly like this, but I too come from a poor background and could see this happening across the street. Many teachers on those regions barely got any education and it's hard to get smart people to move to those regions. There isn't much opportunity there. Things has been improving over time, but we need more than a century to get where other more developed regions(such as Sao Paulo) is right now. Actually, it's so problematic that for instance, a big percentage of my circle, the one who had opportunities and took them, moved abroad, as soon as they could(like I did). The ones who end up staying in the country are the ones in need, that can't leave because they are stuck there, and the riches, which need to stay there because of their businesses. You do learn about brain drain there at school and it's a common topic, but given all the other big problems, it's not often talked about in the media. Of course that there is a lot of people who enjoy living there, I did a lot too, but it's only possible if you don't get caught with the amount of shit happening right now. I don't have much intentions of coming back right now, but would definitely would like to help it once I'm in a certain life stage I can afford moving there to change things, so like many other Brazilians who move abroad. BTW, it isn't the ruling elite that give out the good stuff there for free to other countries, it's actually our inability to get good trade deals, just because we are the bitches of the first-world, we take care of our forests to them, meanwhile we get nothing. My point is that if they want to pay cents for our bananas, sure, we still sell them, but we don't give a single fuck for whatever they say and instead focus on developing our country. |
