Brazil has the potential to be good and make anything bloom, be it startups, big corp etc. It has a good geographic area, plenty of natural resources (water, oil) and whatnot.
BUT!
What keeps Brazil from entering the row of 'actually a good place to live' countries is nothing but the rampant corruption and the sheer amount of bureaucracy involved in anything regulation or taxes in the country. It's not a matter of simply high taxes, but mainly a really complex system of hoops one has to jump to incorporate even a small and simple company. This sucks.
- rbanffy 8y agoWe also have a very serious issue with electing the wrong people. São Paulo, the richest state in the country, has been electing the same centre-right (dressed as centre-left) kleptocrats for about 30 years now, with disastrous results. And don't get me started on that "impeachment" shitshow.
