Brazzil

He gives the same old speech - no more hunger, booming economy, falling unemployment, new jobs - occasionally throwing an extra ingredient in - damning the "elite" which can't stand the idea of a son of the soil like him being President or highlighting the virtues of his right-hand woman, Dilma Rousseff, the "mother" of the Accelerated Growth program which is apparently going to resolve all the outstanding problems facing Brazil.

He is doing a wonderful job, just like Harold MacMillan did. I am so glad that the writer of this article remembered that fact and is gracious to concede that Lula is the Brazilian version of the greatest Prime Minister that Good old Mother England ever had.

I would venture further to say that never before in the history of our Republic, we have had such a great President like the one we have now.Wouldn't mind electing him again for the third, fourth, fifth term again.

every thing in brasil has gone up

food , fuel , taxes , public transportation . drugs booth leagle and illeagle .

beer , what has not gone up

that is right your income if you are one of the 80% working for minum wage .
or cutting cain , washing the ass of some spoiled rich kid .

lets see if you are one of the elite your money has grown off the backe of your workers .

or a politician who votes there own raise , or can take what they want out of the public coffers and not worrie about the department of injustice .

the democrats are getting more like the republicans in the USA all the time but are in brasil

Yes this is great news for Brazil. Strangers who have never set foot in Brazil probably think Brazil is now becoming a sort of tropical utopia: great weather, sandy beaches, great economy. However, compared to many countries, Brazil is still riddled with immense problems. Just looking at the increasing homeless population in the center of Rio, or at the total, absolute polution of the Guanabara bay, shows that Brazil still has a long way to go.

What,Carlos Minc hasn't cleaned up the bay yet? Before he could complete the task he has been promoted to the Minister of Environment!

beer , what has not gone up

Dozens of my friends and relatives share your view!

Hi Joao,

How are you?

I have a question for you before I finish my next article for publication.

Please tell me why the Brazilian government should not renationalize the Petrobras company?

Thanks,

Ricardo

BECAUSE ALL INCHARGE WOULD LOOSE MONEY ON KICKBACKS.

the share holders would all be the richest families in brasil and elese where and would stop congress ,

would not want to have to face all the court cases that would be brought out on the country of brasil .


and the best one

by doing that it would show brazil is a turd world country

Question for Joao da Silva

Hi Ricardo,

I already answered to this question in www.brazzilmag.com, which stopped working! I do not know if you managed to retrieve my message, before it went haywire.

Forrest pretty much summed up what I had written in the other thread. I asked a question: Who will be benefited by renationalizing a part of Petrobras? I had also mentioned about the movement to do the same with CVRD.

and what mexico did in the late 70 to form PEMX hurt them for over 10 as the pretty much screwd all the compaines from all over the world there under contract helping to recover the oil , to date mexico still has not caught up whith what they would have had by now doing the free market econmey they killed by the goverment taking over the oil insdustry .

it would be like brazil government managing the amazon !!!yakies they do and we all see what job they are doing there !!

most of theis will slow when the US gets a new president later this year , again look at there choice a
woman that lets her man cheet ,
a man that does not know what race or religon he is
an old man that by there own standardes should have retired 4 years ago .

I liked your comments, Forrest!

To Forrest Allen Brown,

I am a Brazilian so my English is of poor quality but you, my friend, with a name like Forrest Allen Brown (American, British, Australian, ?) should get back to school where you live and learn how to write better in your own native language.

i have spent many years booth in front and behind the desk so come up with another thing to say .

kajulane alto at 10 kts on a breach sea

www.brazzilmag.com seems to have gone off the air permanently! Hope Ricardo got my messages.

Brazzil has been suffering server problems for several weeks now. The brazzilmag.com server, which also hosts our forum, has passed away and we are getting a new machine. We will hopefully be back on the air later today. If they only could also find the problem that's troubling the brazzil.com server.

Thanks for sticking around!

May its soul RIP

If they only could also find the problem that's troubling the brazzil.com server.

Where exactly is your server located?

Thanks for sticking around!

No problem. Good luck and hope you fix the problems soon. Otherwise, you will lose lot of traffic. Fortunately, I have copied the e-mail addresses of some interesting commentators and writers, except that of Ricardo Amaral. Hope he sees this post and provides his latest e-address.I am looking forward to reading his latest article.

I say.... Hahahahaha

Another very good news, thanks to the tireless efforts of our Prez. First to grant this investment grade was Poor and now Fritz follows suit.

Thank you Poor & Fritz.

I'm new to Brazil so I don't have any past experiences of politics in Brazil. I think Lula is very popular and is trying to do a good job, but I feel the economic situation is down to luck more than careful planning and open, flexible business solutions. Luckily China, India and Russia are booming and many resources required are found in Brasil.
So Brasil becomes richer. This is great, I feel Brasil has a fantastic future ahead of it, if only Lula can revolutionise his government. The Government is bureaucratic, slow and wasteful. How much money gets wasted by politicians and slow legalisation? A lot. More than most countries. And the people? What happens is that they still suffer. Who cares about them? Well we all should. Investment into education should be a priority for this country if it wants to come out as a super power in the next 10-20 years. If not, the resources will soon be used or not required any longer, and Brasil will be left where it has always been, a place with a great football team.
I pray that the people of this country start demanding better service from the Government and that business becomes more open, flexible and with a lot less bureaucracy and corruption.
Good luck to Brasil. I wish you all well.
