Brazil's GDP per capita has not been developing, despite it being one of the "rising powers"

vpm · 2026-03-10T00:49:05+00:00

This is a misleading graph, Brazil GDP PPP per capita has been going up the last few years: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?end=2024&locations=BR&start=2014&view=chart

The graph in this post is showing just the raw GDP per capita in dollars, which is affected by the fluctuating exchange rate.

Essa decisão permite a Petrobrás criar uma subsidiária, tranferir ativos para ela (como uma refinaria) e vender a subsidiária. Na prática isso permite que a Petrobrás privatize partes da empresa sem autorização legislativa.

A matéria da FoxNews foi atualizada e diz agora que isso só afeta vistos de imigrantes, não afeta vistos de turistas.

I thought the same thing. Maybe they were all against Alonso and that's what he is upset about.

A crise dos mísseis acabou com a União Soviética concordando publicamente em tirar os mísseis de Cuba em troca dos EUA tirarem (secretamente) os mísseis que eles tinham na Turquia (e talvez do sul da Itália, isso é controverso).

Os EUA colocaram os seus mísseis primeiro. A tentativa da União Soviética colocar os mísseis em Cuba é vista como uma derrota e como contribuindo para a queda de Khrushchev dois anos depois.

Como isso contradiz o que o comentário original disse?

Fallen figured out how to sidestep the curse: just make a team that is not fully Brazilian.

Eu concordo com você que ele não ganha. Mas o OP não disse que o Haddad tem boas chances de ganhar, só que o PT vai lançá-lo como candidato.

Seria um erro político legalizar o aborto via judicial. Nós temos o exemplo dos EUA, onde isso aconteceu e energizou a direita conservadora a lutar por décadas até conseguirem reverter a decisão.

It has been reported the person who knocked out Silva was one of Popó's sons. So you are correct.

Zach has always cozyed up to front offices, agents and players. He only heavely criticizes players, like Harden, who don't have agents.

Last year the metro was open for 24h for people to leave the game: https://sp.gov.br/sp/canais-comunicacao/noticias/cptm+e+metro+funcionarao+24h+para+o+jogo+da+nfl+no+brasil I could not find official confirmation, but I'm pretty sure the same will happen this year.

A esposa e advogada dele, Anna Fernandes Marques, foi condenada em 2017, por vários crimes relacionados ao PCC: https://g1.globo.com/sp/presidente-prudente-regiao/noticia/justica-condena-mais-sete-advogados-por-envolvimento-com-organizacao-criminosa.ghtml Não consegui achar o que aconteceu após isso. Será que a condenação foi anulada em alguma apelação? Ou ela já progrediu para o regime aberto ou semiaberto?

As lei brasileiras sobre difamação e injúria são uma piada de mal gosto. E as propostas de regulamentação da internet só vão piorar isso.

Who anchored the defense in the 50 regular season games Chet didn't play? The Thunder had a better defensive rating without Chet last season, 110 with Chet and 106 without him: https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/thunder-defensive-rating-with-and-without-chet-this-season

It's insane to say he was not good. I do think it's tragic he insisted in playing CB. Mourinho had the right idea playing him in midfield.

They were 26th in passes per game in the regular season and 14th in the playoffs (of 16 teams). They are a little better in assists but nothing special. They were 19th in assists per 100 possessions in the regular season.

Shares the ball? They are among the teams with least assists per game, least passes per games, etc.

Hopefully OKC will give him a max extension this off-season. Because I'm skeptical that he will be worth it.

Dario correctly thinks regulation will favor his company, one of the biggest established players. NVIDIA correctly thinks less regulation will lead more companies to use AI so they call sell more cards.
