Seven years ago, just after the country was chosen to host the Olympics, the country was really looking on the up and up. Economy was improving, people were investing, Brazil was looking like a strong, positive role model for South America. Now the Olympics are weeks away and Brazil is in alot of trouble.
Economy is in the tank since the drop in oil, crime is widespread and rampant, Zika is spreading, the new subway isn't finished, the bay is badly polluted with untreated sewage, and now the hosting city has declared a state of financial emergency.
It's just been one bad hit after another, compounded by widespread political corruption. Will this years Olympics be horrible? Will we blame it on Rio? Blame it on the rain? Chocolate rain? Discuss.
Let's hope nobody takes a shower in the wrong place. They might erradicate billions.
Elijah Hill
Damn, that is bad.
Cooper Sanchez
No, It's just a meme.
The problem is brazilians are corrupt as fuck.

Seriously Brazilians, like how bad is downtown like where shops and businesses in rio? Rampant crime? Or is it only in suburbs/favelas
Jacob Allen
Also, I want to know why haven't they spent the last several years improving the sewage treatment problem and the Olympic event area with more attention? The crime , I know it's bad , but crime is crime, you're going to find it anywhere. It seems like there are parts of this that really could have been fixed earlier, though.
Carter Gomez
are there alot of trannies in brazil or is like america where they're more rare than adamantium?
Liam White
>Will this year's Olympics be horrible? No. Quite the opposite.
John Campbell
Gringos don't know the pau de arara is, my fellow monkey.
It depends of the city. In Rio they are largely occupied by the military police and private security, while also monitored with MP outpots and cameras. Houses are full of electrical fences, barbed wire, guard dogs, cameras, guards etc. on the middle class suburbs.
Rampant crime is mostly prevalent on poorer areas only. And drug lords ironically don't allow violent crimes inside the favela under the threat of death penalty.
Because the government doesn't give a fuck. They are only interested in projects that can be overfinanced and embezzled. And to make matters worse they manipulate the entire political system so you can only vote on these fucks and make it harder for outsiders to join politics.
Austin Smith
This. even Brazilians will straight up tell you that Brazil's biggest problem is Brazillians.
There is a joke that I heard while living there: God was creating the world and an angel watching him remarked at all the natural beauty and abundance in Brazil thinking God was being unbalanced in his creation. God says "Oh no don't worry, wait till you see the PEOPLE i put here."
not that funny but point being brazilians know why they suck. they have every resource a country would ever need but they are too greedy and corrupt to improve.
Samuel Parker
Brazil is dying, and will only get worse over time.
It's pretty much the same in all of South America. It doesn't matter the political ideology in power, right or left, the people in the government will just steal steal and steal.
But for a big country in the third world, like Argentina or Brazil, it's even worse, its IMPOSSIBLE to track everything that's going on, corruption will stay rampant forever and ever.
That's the only advantage small countries like Chile or Uruguay have, and that's why we're doing slightly better, it's easier to track down and punish corruption.

>Valerie Harwood, an expert in recreational water contamination and antibiotic-resistant bacteria at the University of South Florida who was not involved in the studies, said that if anything, things were getting worse, as the super bacteria naturally spread by infecting other microbes.
WE NEED TO MEME HUEPLAGUE

I'm so sorry to all the sudacas that are bludgeoned into mediocrity and submission by wanton criminal shits that deserve nothing more than a snug rope around their neck and a good, long drop.
If you've got a mind to immigrate to the States, I'd feel comfortable recommending northern Georgia; low cost of living, precious little in the way of crime or open niggerdry, relatively low regulation and very little firearm restriction.
We love right-wing, like-minded folk, especially those fleeing from corrupted and/or irredeemable leftist shitholes.
Good luck, guys.
Asher Morgan
Lol. The south is on par for Brazil in terms of crimes and niggers
Kevin Foster
I'm not particularly irritated that you'd say that. Much of the Southeastern US, including nearly all of Louisiana, Mississippi, and much of Alabama are goddamn awful and I wouldn't willingly set foot there. Southern Georgia is the same.
I've actually not been to the Carolinas or southern Virginia very much, so I can't comment.
The southern portion of Appalachia is very nice in my experience.
Kevin Carter
hows you and chile doing i might move there some day
Brandon Roberts
If niggers were removed it would be pretty based.
Julian Hernandez
>Brazil now is America's future
Parker Roberts
I'm no fan at all of niggers nogging. Shit, I honestly feel that any major violation of the non-aggression principle (something niggers take part in often, like rape/murder/armed robbery) should result in a penalty of hanging and gibbetting. Smaller violations would result in forced labour. Of course, our justice system would need to be nearly-perfect to really support this.
But most of the black folks around here are just fine people. Black fella down the road from me flies 3 flags in his yard: The US flag, the Marine Corps flag, and the Battle Flag of Northern Virginia.
The Stars n' Bars is the tallest, naturally.
Camden Wright
they brought too many niggers from Africa
Logan Williams
Unless you're living in a really shitty part of the states, I don't see a single reason to move here right now or in the foreseeable future.
If the situation in the states continues to deteriorate, in a decade you could reconsider again and see which place is doing better.
As I said, we're not doing that much better than the rest, but the benefit of being small is immense, we will never have neverending favelas full of niggers, crime will never be as bad as in Brazil or Argentina, and corruption (even tho it exists) gets tackled much faster than anywhere else, that's for sure.
Mason Roberts
Although the comparison between the US and South America is quite a long one, I still think that this serves as at least soft evidence that a small nation-state with a strong identity is superior to a large nation-state.
Shit, the United States should have balkanized more than 150 years ago, and now its too late!
Daniel Jenkins
It's okay, Brazil will fix itself by electing based Bolsonaro
I'm comming to your country in 2 weeks. Should I be affraid of that in SP as well?
Evan Garcia
Do you need medicines an shit?
Blake James
Jews are to blame. It was the same for us in 1992. Then the popular party controlled by jew bankers got into power and they started stealing and exploiting the country until they turned it into the sack of shit it is today.
Popular Party, Rajoy in power: "we must lower debt" 4 years later debt jumped from 69 pct of gdp to 99 pct
Now banks are gonna need more money off the gubmint
Jews in charge of banks, jews infesting the popular party
laws to bring more jews into the country
don't let anyone tell you this is because of the leftists; its the jews who control PP.
Benjamin Nelson
You really shouldn't be afraid of it anywhere. Unless you're going to a literal shantytown, your trip will very likely be uneventful, but that doesn't get any (You)'s.
Wyatt Reyes
It is going to be a complete fucking mess. They already have security concerns (ISIS); their buildings have been shown to collapse easily; they're running out of money; the government has a tenuous grasp on power at best right now, after that corruption scandal; the Zika fiasco; the unchecked crime of the favelas; the drugs... much of the construction for the olypmics is unfinished, too. And that bacteria thing.
Brazil's gift to the world will be a happening we won't forget for decades.
Andrew Miller
Maybe brazil should start a shit-cleaner business here. Clsan our shit, get money for olympic.
Dominic Parker
I think this will be the first year in memory where we can safely say the previous Olympics outdoes the current.
No way Rio 2016 will outdo London 2012. Especially when we already know who'll win the medal table by a mile because Russia's DQ'ed [Murica]
Jeremiah Barnes
Nah i will hang out with natives most of the time, so i wont get lost. The only problem is that they are strongly bluepilled but meh, ill deal with that somehow.
