The so called de-industrialization of the economy started in much before the current government came into power. One simple question to our fellow Brazilian commentators: In 1998 the Telecoms industries were privatized. Have you seen any great innovations in this sector, since then, except more than 200% increase in the monthly subscription rates? Or any innovations in the Pay phones? BTW, when are we going to avoid "Soy Bean Curse"? >:( - João da Silva Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:32:46 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10298/1/#pc_18601 1) I know how idiot I am, but I believe choclate should be CHOCOLATE ! I wonder now who of the two is the MOST IDIOT ! 2) As long as Swiss Chocolates or Swiss Cheeses command a high premium over SAGE - Soyabeans....Anal...Genital....Ethanol, feel free to chose by yourself if ch.c. means Cheesy Choclate or Choclate Cheese !!! And with a big smile let me add that even the Swiss Cuckoo Clocks are LOVED by Asians and different nationalities. They queue with full buses to buy them. Somewhat funny from Asians...since these clocks are made in...ASIA !!!! Every tourist not even with lot of money, including many asians funnily, are also queuing to buy HERE watches MADE IN CHINA.... TAIWAN..... OR JAPAN..... !!!!! SURE....those with more money...are taken elsewhere.....where they can buy watches from anything between US$ 300.- to US$ 300'000.-.... and more ! Dont worry for my country. We are only 1/25th the Brazilian population but import and export AS MUCH AS THE WHOLE BRAZIL....if you did not know ! We should do something right....that Brazilians dont ! Especially knowing our land is small, mountainous, overall bad climate, not even with sea access, and nothing much underground !!!! Better yet - Brazil has actually its HISTORICAL RECORD CURRENT ACCOUNT....DEFICIT ! Even in the rosy exceptional years, the c/a surplus was barely not even 1 % of your GDP. While my country....year in....year out....has a Current Account SURPLUS of around 15 % of its GDP ! - My country has 100 % of paved roads, Brazil 5 % !!!!! Brazil paved roads are lower than most THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES !!!! - Despite having no sea access and overall bad climate, my country has more foreign tourism revenues than Brazil with so much sun and 7000 kms of dirty beaches ! Yesssssss...we should do not one but many many many many things so much better than idiots like SAGE are doing ! Stats are here...for proofs ! Feel free to swim in your oceans of ethanol, muds, corruptions, crimes, poverty just to name a few ! - ch.c.
