Congratulations to the Agro members of this country. Agro is not just farming, it’s livestock, it’s the food industry, the machine industry. Brazilian agro, my friends, grossed half a trillion dollars last year. This corresponds to the entire GDP of Argentina, which already had the highest GDP in Latin America at the beginning of the last century.
Just look at the result, I hope that Agro will continue like this, although there is an ideology in the government that is biased against Agro and that is still discussing the right to property, which is an ironclad clause that is in the caput of article 5 is inscribed in the constitution along the same lines as the right to life.
Tax reform should not lower taxes
There is a lot of talk about tax reform. Don’t get your hopes up about tax cuts. It will be exactly the opposite, the tax burden will increase. By the way, at the request of governors who support the government, the ICMS tax burden has already increased. The people who will get a R$18 increase in the minimum wage, with the ICMS increase on everything they buy, including fuel, the R$18 will not be enough for that, you can be sure.
And they will continue to pay taxes, because although the current president promised during the election campaign an income tax exemption for those earning up to R$5,000, the exemption will actually apply to those earning up to R$2,112. There are people who say please the middle class, look at BRL 2,112 a month, it’s not the middle class, it’s not even the lower middle class. You make a very, very strange assessment.
mask
Carnival, you’ve already seen the pictures, that crowd. See how strange it is, Anvisa requires a mask at airports and on planes, but it doesn’t talk about a mask at those carnival gatherings, including in clubs that are closed, worse still. It won’t make any difference now. The difference is that someone is sick so as not to pass it on to the other.
An uninhaled virus is of no use as protection for someone who is not sick. Now it’s scientific, metaanalysis, doubleblind test, Cochrane has already approved it, the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) has already told Anvisa that the mask is no good.
I keep wondering, in all this time of deception, deception, irresponsible experience, what have the employees done, for example, wearing a mask for at least eight hours a day, breathing their own air expelled from their lungs, and complaining of headaches .
Another problem that comes up frequently, statistics are now showing excessive deaths in the UK and Portugal. They make the statement that it is climate change and we know that is not the case. The UK has removed compulsory vaccination in children and adults without risk, just in case.
