Why don't Brazilians have any overseas colonies or cultural outposts The USA has army bases and media and stuff like that. china has ports and manufacturing and send the chinese people to live in other countries too I think brazil should do something
>>217745497we have an island
>>217745515you do?
>>217745497The people who like us do so precisely because we don't do anything.
>>217745515>>217745523I would prefer if brazilians would have overseas presence. maybe if you could make more appliances and washing machines and stuff and sell them as cheap products in other countries. idk. we can workshop this the only brazilian products that may be common overseas are pots and pans from tramontina I think
>>217745497There is a base in Antarctica.
>>217745497We were actually pretty active in Angola to the point where some questioned if it was neo-colonialism. We still control their religion via the Universal Kingdom of God who has deep ties to Angolan policitians and authorities.
We have influence in african countries. angola, mozambique, Ghana. Ghana is the weird one and it all goes back to a guy named Francisco Félix de Souza
>>217745560yea this is exactly what I'm talking about, why don't more brazilians go to angola, work on oil and manufacturing and shit brazil is actually really good at manufacturing. you should help develop portuguese african countries into manufaacturing hubs Maybe that company WEG could do it?
>>217745560They need to kick out those evangelical scumbags
>>217745536If you've taken a regional flight there's a good chance it was on a Brazilian jet (Embraer)
>>217745582BNDS gave them a shitload of loans to build stuff, Petrobras and Embrapa also operate there afaik
>>217745583>>217745572>>217745558>>217745599how do I understand more about why development in the third world is so difficult should I read something like this? or Adam Smith's "the wealth of nations"?? or should I watch youtube videos by wendover productions >>217745599Yes, I have flown on embraer jets actually, I fly on them quite often! Alaska Airlines uses Embraer for quite a few regional routes (SAN to SLC for example)
>>217745582We were doing just that all over Africa, but Lula gave up the African Project after too many corruption scandals. We invested billions into African countries around that time."For every African problem, there is a Brazilian solution.” - Kenyan professor Calestous Juma
>>217745623You can read Michael Hudson's books. He's a retired boomer now who does plenty of interviews on youtube. He focuses a lot on what you're asking, and why first world countries are declining as they financialize.
>>217745522Trindade (there's also Fernando de Noronha, Abrolhos, St. Peter and St. Paul and many others).
>>217745636OEC still has a big presence in Angola, getting really fat infrastructure projects. But currently the chinese are way more relevant.
>>217745497Because we are a shithole. We are the country that needs to be colonized.
>>217745636>>217745682>>217745813Can you guys please advise me on if starting a manufacturing startup in mexico is wise at this time, through the maquliadores program (where I can import raw materials into mexico and export finished products without paying any tarrifs or customs fees) Why is this not a more popular method of manufacturing in the USA. is there simply too much corruption in mexico for this to be an economically viable development strategy or is something else going on
>>217745844Why are Paulistas and Sulistas so gay?
>>217745724Why hasn't Brazil annexed Tristan da Cunha?
>>217745873>why not ruin your international relations with the UK over some worthless islands bro
>>217745856I don't know
>>217745873The Brits have nukes, but I agree it would be cool if we had more populated oceanic islands.
>>217745888I thought every single brazilian on here was a manufacturing economics expert
>>217745893I guess I could give you some basic layman takes if you were talking about brazil but idk what is going on in mexico
>>217745928yea sure tell me about brazildoes brazil have a foreign / contract manufacturing scene at all? it doesn't really seem like it, potentially just because the Chinese / SEAsian contract manufacturing business is just so much easier for wealthy westerners to engage with, so there aren't really any benefits unless you were personally invested in brazilian development in terms of textiles it seems like a lot of central american countries have a strangehold on this segment, but it's not exactly a particularly lucrative type of manufacturing Pro Dept in El Salvador manufactures a lot of high end clothing for American companies like Lululemon or Arcteryx. They make clothes for like $30 and sell it for $300. Fucking crazy
I will save brazil... the brazilian people will worship me as a philosopher king....
Brazil had lots of foreign contracts in Africa and Latin America under the Lula and Rousseff administrations, but the economic crisis in the 2010s absolutely wrecked our contractors.
>>217746183>esse merdestino acredita em alguma coisa do PTAcredita no PAC também, Merdestino??
why do all the richest people in the world work in software and not manufacturing
>>217746487Digital gives you the opportunity to extract rent for services. Yanis Varoufakis wrote a whole book about it.
>>217745497lol
brazilians on /int/ are generally more intelligent than other races
>>217745497Brazil cannot even exercise effective sovereignty parts of its own territory. How are they going to project power overseas?
>>217745497>overseas coloniesPortugal>cultural outpostsFootball, mixed martial arts
>>217749180>mixed martial artskek this is actually true there are brazilian martial arts studios all over my city, it's the only new type of martial arts gym now, all the old "kung fu dojos" or whatever died off
fart
>>217746203Não foi um elogio ao PT. Foi a constatação de um fato, analfabeto do caralho.
