The key point here is that it's impossible to travel long distances in a short amount of time... Of course people travel. What's not normal is to log in in Miami and in the next minute log in Seattle....

Brazil does limit land purchase (officially land purchase) by citizens from other countries. The country could be forced to comply or sanctioned - and that's URGENT. It won't simply 'grow up' because the President himsel

Well, those are 'tricky' regions. I don't believe that in Rondônia they will say: "what, this tree belongs to Bolívia! don't take it down, please!". It's like a mess in the that 'border'. When Br
