Há uma indústria de difamação e de acusações caluniosas contra o Supremo. Vou enfrentá-la.
E não tenho receio de reconhecer um erro. Errei quando citei a homossexualidade ao me referir ao que seria uma acusação injuriosa contra o ex-governador Romeu Zema.
Desculpo-me pelo erro. E reitero o que está certo.

You just have to see Rio before you die
Really is unreal
Living there ? You gotta be insane
But visiting…
Hard to argue it’s not a top 3 most beautiful city in the world.

@chilltechbruh @bowtiedbrazil You're lying, it's easy to know that

@bowtiedbrazil Last time I was in Sao Paulo for a week I saw about 5 people get their phone stolen in front of me. It was almost understood as a way of life there

I’ve spent 12 years traveling to every corner of Brazil.
Fortaleza. Florianópolis. Manaus. Cuiabá. Foz do Iguaçu. Belo Horizonte. Rio. São Paulo. Recife. João Pessoa. Salvador. Curitiba. Natal. Small mining towns in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba where I was the only foreigner for miles. Small towns throughout Minas Gerais. Every region of this country from the Amazon to the Southern coast.
I have never been robbed. Never been the victim of a violent crime. Never had a single serious incident.
I move with precaution. I don’t move with fear. There’s a difference.
You know what I have encountered in 12 years?
Friendly people. In every state. In every city. In every small town. People who invited me into their homes. Shared meals with me. Helped me when I was lost. Taught me their culture. Treated me like family before they knew my name.
I feel safer walking through most neighborhoods in Brazil than I do in most American cities.
This comment is the real problem.
Too many Brazilians get off on instilling fear in outsiders. They perform danger like it’s a personality trait. They gatekeep their own country with horror stories and then wonder why foreign capital, foreign talent, and foreign attention go somewhere else.
Every time a Brazilian tells a gringo “don’t come here, it’s too dangerous,” they’re not protecting anyone.
They’re devaluing their own country.
Argentina didn’t steal Brazil’s investors…
Brazil’s own people scared them away.
The most undervalued country on earth isn’t undervalued because of crime statistics.
It’s undervalued because the people who live there won’t stop telling the world it’s not worth visiting.
I’ve been everywhere from the Amazon to the Pampas. I built my life here. I’m raising my business here. I chose this country with my feet, my money, and my future.
Brazil is not for amateurs?
I agree.
It’s for people who actually see what’s here instead of repeating what they heard from someone who’s never left their own neighborhood.

@drewcrawford_ Please gringos, go to Argentina. Brazil is not for amateurs.

@hispanicnomad The problem is ppl think the hole LATAM is unsafe but generally that's only in big cities and in bad parts of it. All the rest it is normally very safe
English
People love to talk about how dangerous Latin America is...
But do you know where I've been robbed the most?
Madrid 🇪🇸
And this was way before things got really bad with immigration:
- I was robbed 5 times on public transportation and got my phone stolen
- Someone broke into my college and stole everything I had with me: wallet, laptop, car keys, phone, etc
- I got stuff pick pocketed while in a crowd a bunch of times
And look, I was lucky; it was all petty, white glove crime
But some of my closest friends were held at knife point, more than once
So... yeah. You can't really escape danger
Go where you're treated best
English
@KevinPetrey @hispanicnomad It's hard to beat Bangkok man but Rio has unique vibes. If you want more peaceful places northeast Brazil is also a gem.
English
@hispanicnomad @SchmidtKlaus79 Would you pick a large city to live in Brazil or Bangkok? Or 6/6months?
English
Something nobody tells you before you go to Brazil 🇧🇷...
There's no single Brazil to move to
- São Paulo: 22 million people, subway system that actually works, same energy as NYC but cheaper and louder
- Florianópolis: beaches, tech startups, Brazilians who go jogging at 6am voluntarily
- Curitiba: clean, cold, organized, the city Brazilians point to when they want to feel superior to other Brazilians
- Fortaleza: 300 days of sun per year, cheap as hell, kite surfers everywhere, crime stats that will make you do more research
- Belém: Amazon gateway, insane food scene, 95% humidity, not for everyone
- Belo Horizonte: best bar culture in the country, nobody outside Brazil has heard of it, locals don't want you to find out
I made the mistake of Googling "is Brazil safe" for years and leaving it at that...
But now I'm SO glad I've visited
And I still have SO much more to explore

@Niko_Drakos @BowTiedMara Rio is beautiful and huge, he is talking about outside danger zones.
English
@BowTiedMara Honestly, what a shitty place to visit. If you are in this situation of constant danger, life is hell.

YouTuber Zazza is being targeted for an alleged crime in Brazil 🇧🇷: the Italian filmed areas of a favela without authorization, areas he had been asked not to record, and uploaded the videos despite the family who invited him begging him not to, saying they would be killed.
Zazza uploaded the videos anyway, showing the faces of the girl and the father he entered with, explaining that he did it to "protect them" so that "the police would know where to investigate if something happened."
Now there are reports that the family was killed in the favela, with some accusing them of exposing many drug dealers in the video.
Zazza deleted videos and comments on the matter after reports surfaced that the family had been murdered.

Enquanto a farra dos intocáveis se mantém intacta, existe um povo que bota a mão na massa pra sustentar esse Brasil de pé.
Chegou a hora da gente acabar com essa falta de vergonha, e fazer um Brasil sem rabo preso, que trabalhe pros brasileiros.
Concorda? Então compartilhe!
Português
🇧🇷 BRAZIL 🇧🇷
The biggest country in Latin America by population, size, and sheer amount of things to do
Yet most Westerners skip it
Why?!
→ Portuguese — everyone else in LatAm speaks Spanish
→ It's massive — people don't even know where to start
→ The crime headlines scare everyone off before they even research
→ No easy, quick flights from the USA like Mexico or Colombia
→ Visa process used to be a nightmare (it's gotten better)
→ Dollar goes further in Colombia, Argentina, etc. — so the "cheap living" crowd skips it
→ Most Americans can't name a city besides Rio and São Paulo
→ No digital nomad hype machine pushing it on Twitter
Meanwhile Brazil has:
→ World-class beaches that make Tulum look mid
→ Nature that makes Costa Rica blush
→ Cities with real infrastructure
→ People who are genuinely warm (not just polite)
→ A culture that's impossible not to fall in love with
Brazil's biggest problem is that gringos are too lazy to learn Portuguese
That's it, that's the whole thread

Tem gente ficando milionária dentro do governo… enquanto você trabalha pra pagar a conta.
E querem que você ache isso normal.
Não é. Nunca foi.
Quando eu entrei no Governo em Minas, encontrei exatamente isso, um sistema feito pra proteger privilégio de poucos.
Sabe o que eu fiz? Fui pra cima.
Cortei mordomia. Acabei com a farra. Enfrentei os intocáveis.
Porque dinheiro público não é prêmio pra político. É suor de quem acorda cedo.
E quando você muda isso, o resultado aparece.
Minas voltou a crescer. Sem esquema. Sem padrinho. Só trabalho.
Agora eu vejo os mesmos que destruíram Minas acabando com o Brasil.
E uma coisa eu te garanto. O sistema só parece forte até alguém ter coragem de enfrentá-lo.
Esse ano nós temos uma decisão a ser feita. E a pergunta é simples: até quando você vai bancar essa farra?
Meu nome é Zema.

Um desabafo
Eu to ficando velho, e algo que perdi com a idade é a necessidade de consumo de bens., não sei se isso é normal...
Eu não tenho mais nenhum interesse em roupas, relógios, carros, bugigangas nada. Tenho um celular bom com 4 anos de uso só pq de câmera boa para meu e-commerce, mesmo tendo uma loja de calçados com modelos de mais de R$ 900 eu uso tênis de R$ 150 que ganhei de cortesia, tenho zero interesse em lançamentos de tecnologia, no máximo troco de PC a cada 4 anos novamente por causa do trabalho, meu único objetivo é ganhar $$$ para dar alguma segurança material a minhas filhas.

@JakeNomada @bowtiedbrazil @Airbnb He forgot to say many buildings prohibit Airbnb rentals especially in nice areas
English
@bowtiedbrazil @Airbnb now it makes a bit more sense, but damn is it rough
English
Was talking with a broski about this the other day...
Why are the @Airbnb options in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷 so horrific?
Have Cariocas never heard of renovating apartments?
Why must I pay $5,000 USD a month to find an apartment that doesn't have decor similar to my grandparents house?
You've got apartments within walking distance of the most famous strip of beach in the world and the blankets look like they're from the 90s
Someone please give me the inside scoop

I have bad news for my Brazilian brothers...
My dad didn't like Rio 🇧🇷
He literally said:
"It was alright but looked too dirty and crowded. Buenos Aires was better"
Now, don't kill the messenger! He still loves you guys
Hispanic Nomad | Remote Work, Travel, Growth@hispanicnomad
My parents are STILL on their Brazilian 🇧🇷 trip In case you're not following the story, they came to visit me in Argentina and are going back to Spain on a cruise ship It's their first time in South America and I was a bit worried... but they're loving Brazil so far Today they were in Ilha Belha, and they had only nice things to say about it: ✅ Beautiful waterfalls ✅ Nice beaches ✅ Great, friendly people ✅ Hot but bearable All in all, not bad for two sheltered boomers! I'm proud of them Tomorrow they're going to Rio... that's going to be the real test

@Skylarjderouen I'm from Ipanema. Its The best, there's not even close

Is Ipanema not the best looking beach in the world?
I just can’t stop looking at it and I live here. Can any other beach top this?

Uma pessoa que ganha R$ 1.500 não pode pagar R$ 400 de aluguel, porque se não ela não come. O governo é responsável pelo preço do gás, da energia elétrica. Durante o meu governo nós não aumentamos o preço do gás. Nós vamos voltar, e o preço da gasolina vai baixar de verdade.

Actually Cuba is next. But with Syria, Venezuela, Chile, Columbia, Brazil, IRAN, and MANY MORE countries in the Western Hemisphere and beyond coming to our side. #BRICS is all but destroyed.
America will be one of the greatest super powers through out history. And our Golden Age started last year.

@FedotOff90 Guys, don't fall for that. Ecom in Brazil is EXTREMELY saturated.
English
Nobody talks about Brazil for ecom.
They fucking should.
180M+ people. Growing middle class obsessed with beauty and health products. Meta CPMs at $1-3. Conversion funnels that work with simple emotional storytelling.
I know operators doing $50k/day there running proven US winners translated into Portuguese.
Zero new product development. Zero new creative concepts.
Just copy what's already printing in the US and meet a market that's 5 years behind on saturation.
Now, payment processing can be a bitch, but nothing that can't be figured out.
The easiest arbitrage in ecom right now is geography.

When I quit my electrician job to build a business online, my friends and family thought I'd lost it.
Three years later I run everything from Brazil and haven't worn a hard hat since.
The people who doubted me still clock in at 6am.
