It's baffling just how much situation has degraded here (in Brazil) in several aspects, and I worry about how bad things can still get. I seriously thought we would have a bright future and be living in an awesome country by the time I was earning any money. Fast forward and now, all we have is massive environment disasters, a fundamentally broken economy, worse than wild west violence levels and just straight out, in your face, government neglect and corruption.

And it STILL ends in feijoada! How! Wtf happened?

Deforestation over there is going to affect the entire planet, not just Brazil; I wonder what kind of pressure other countries could put in place to discourage that practice. In the meantime, get rid of Bolsonaro ASAP!
