The biggest things that our dumb oligarchs here profit from are almost 0 or zero.

It's only the shit that we want to buy retail on Amazon US that are crazy expensive. And a big chunk is ICMS, that is state wide, not federal tax.

On top of that DHL charges a premium.

I know because sometimes I can buy directly using my prime subscription my beloved Nintendo games (that I hope I can buy directly from Asia now and cut one big middleman).

Brazil's deficit in the last decade accumulates hundreds of billions USD already, but only benefits a few. Yet as a good dogs we feel relieved that is only 10%. But you forget our biggest export products are already 35% on top what was before (steel).

This is a oligarchy fight that will splat on everyone, including my eggs since we quintupled the exports to cover someone's asses.

By the way, why do we need to buy expensive ethanol abroad since ours is cheaper, but in my state ethanol is never cheaper than gasoline?
