Rioting in Brazil's capital

Brazil Deploys Troops To Protect Government Buildings As Protesters Set Ministries On Fire

Perhaps we in the US don't appreciate that we still have a pretty stable society. (At least for now.)

As Brazil's president spirals toward near-certain impeachment, there are fights (physical altercations) in Congress, and the Ministry of Finance (Brazil's version of the IRS) and the ministry of Agriculture have been set on fire by rioters.

On a related front, I think I just figured out why my Brazilian customer hasn't answered my e-mails today

Think of the off-duty cops!

They also need bloated corrupt officials, apparently.

I assume you can think of a different more successful model that has no taxes?

(points to US circa 1890)

The EU is at the root of any riot and chaos situation in Brazil since about 1 year. The forceful removal of Dilma was an obvious indicatio of EU interference coupled with serious "real corruption" in Brazil (Real corruption means: not the fake corruption idiotic stories peddled by western brain dead media) possibly leading to what amounts to armed revolts and civil war, less then 1 year after the president was overthrown by their western allies and after many many years their western allies praised them for being a fast-growing BRICS country.

I don't know if this is related, but is a recent upload.

no that was an unrelated matter. This is now available though.
