Tower Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 For you Fullbuster. I know you like lists. Look for Brazil on this one http://www.visionofhumanity.org/#/page/indexes/global-peace-index/ranking How "peaceful" a country is could mean could mean a lot of different things. You could easily change that ranking completely and still have a reasonable explanation for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 BRAZIL : ADMISSIONS IN 2013 and 2014 -> COMPARISON Admissions between January-August 2013 : 107.1 million admissions Admissions between January-August 2014 : 108 million admissions Evolution : +0.84% It's a very weak year-over-year improvement and the growth of this market will mainly rely on the growth of ticket prices. Still, we can't complain given the Brazilian economy is in recession with a pretty gloomy outlook..Let's just hope 2015 won't be hit too much by this economic weakness.

Our economy is in recession indeed, but there's no crisis. This was mainly driven by Petrobras' demise. People aren't losing their jobs or anything like that and we pay our bills. It's quite the contrary, we actually need more people to work. Dilma Rousseff isn't a good president, but the ones wanting her spot are worse. Marina is an enviromentalist and Aécio wants to give the banks total control. Edited September 20, 2014 by Wally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'd rather vote for her than for Aécio, because she's been through the worse, so I believe that she'd never do something to jeopardize the Workers Party work to erradicate poverty.

pepsa Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Yeah, we got the same in belgium, always saying, never acting... Btw the double is not a number I am sure of, but if I remember correctly from the reportage it was something like 1.8, but it's I saw that one 5 months ago so I could be wrong. Also you never know if the information of a reportage is accurret. And there is no beter candidate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 There is. Luciana Genro, but she doesn't have a chance. She has only 1% in the polls.She is extreme left, that fact alone should disqualify her as the best candidate, the actual president is the second worst option, and Brazil's economy actual state is a proof of that. The ideal candidate would be center-right or center-left, and both Aecio and Marina fits the description, not too far in one side or another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't tell out of the blue there is no effect. According to the last statistics Brazil is still creating jobs but the pace of jobs growth strongly slowed, creating around 20,000 jobs in July...20,000 is weak in a country with 201 million people (a young and growing population), the US created around 210,000 jobs this same month, it's like Brazil creating 133,000 jobs. And if this slow growth doesn't stop soon some people could start feeling it, in the auto industry for example because the production is falling (less sales, less exports to Argentina).

Well, then we should fit well together since I'm a leftist. lol I never thought someone would buy those fear based TV ads by Dilma I guess I was wrong. That's something he actually said. I don't even watch TV. "Em entrevista ao UOL, ele afirmou que o BC "deverá ter a independência formal garantida. Num primeiro momento não acho necessário [uma lei] (...) Não me fecho a uma discussão lá adiante de uma eventual autonomia em lei. Não acho que isso seja necessário porque é a autoridade presidencial que vai garantir que essa autonomia seja exercida permanentemente."

Wally Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Though, Goffe, what I do find funny is that Dilma, in 2010, said she was in favor of the BC independence and now she's doing the same thing José Serra did in that year to her against Marina.
