- random9749832 2y agoMore Western arrogance from people who can't even spell losing. It is so over.
- skhunted 2y agoI think you are confusing can’t with didn’t. In this era of auto correct and typing on mobile devices a bit of leeway should be given to minor spelling mistakes.
- random9749832 2y agoYes I am sure trying to spell losing got autocorrected to loosing and doesn't instead come from low level understanding of the English language.
- skhunted 2y agoYou propose stupidity as a plausible explanation for the error. It is indeed plausible that the person is stupid. Another plausible, and more likely, explanation is a minor mistake. One should try to use the most generous interpretation in such a situation. We don’t actually know the person in question so harsh judgements are not justifiable.

- _lvbh 2y agoNote that this already happens to Malaysia. It won’t get better or worse by joining BRICS.

The main “contributors” to this exodus are the economic powerhouses – Germany and Luxembourg in the EU, but also Switzerland

- s_dev 2y agoThat's not what the BRICs are best known for; Brazil, Russia, India and China are all best known for being emerging super powers. I see plenty to disagree with here -- from conflating the 'richest' with the 'most talented' to odd use of parenthesis and quotation marks to conflating brain drain with the flight of capital. Brain drain refers to people with real accomplishments or potential in academia, science, entrepreneurship etc. who aren't necessarily rich.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Brazil, Russia, India and China are all best known for being emerging super powers India and China, yes. Russia, South Africa and Malaysia, far from it. (Brazil is sort of a regional power, sort of not; it’s unique in being a soft power first type.) BRICS was known for being strong economic growth candidates in the early 2000s. It was a package term for Goldman bankers to be able to sell their securities more effectively.
- meiraleal 2y agoBrazil is currently the 8th global economy by GDP. Ahead of Russia but behind China and India. Also ahead of some G7 countries. And a population of more than 230 million people. It might not be considered a power-house on its own yet but the potential is there. Obviously the current top dogs don't want one more big player at the table so the Brazil struggle is always to find a way to develop without getting into colission route with the West or the East. Latin America is a whole "unexplored" world far away.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoSuper power != powerhouse. Brazil is already a powerhouse and potential regional hegemon.
