It's a real jungle hahaha I live in Brazil and it's not easy to live with a stupid market that consumes 10 to 1000 times the cost of physical or digital products. I would say that there is no freedom due to the high cost of everything. This is our main reason for backwardness. I believe that the market reserve since the 90s has been manipulated to have a fraction of freedom of consumption. I see technology as financial rape and decrepit and too stupid to realize that opening up technology factories or purchases to everyone within the country at the same cost as other nations, everyone in Brazil, including the salaries of even those who impede growth, would be 100 times more while incompetent and stupid governments are in control. We will have another 40 years of backwardness, just like in the 80s.
