I'm yet to see good major news about Brazil this year. So far it's been microcephaly, the economy flirting with depression, corruption scandals and a political crisis. I wonder how are we going to cope with hosting the olympics amid all that
- benologist 11y agoThe corruption scandals are pretty great news, in that they're being uncovered and prosecuted.
- fgp 11y agoWhat is great news is that they are being prosecuted, but the fact that those scandals happen at all is sad. I do get your point though, those kinds of scandals have probably been happening for a long time so it is good to finally have some of them uncovered.
- geomark 11y agoDid you see the news that Bloomberg calls this year's "final indignity"[1]? A dam holding back mining waste collapsed, killing 17 people and sending millions of tons of toxic mud to the coast between Rio and Bahia.
