Please invite me, I'll be in Rio!

@numazu1 Thank you for the info sir! I also concur with the other gents here. More PLEASE, your writings are one of the only brite spots in this COVID darkness.

I'll give it a try.....some are obviously in the trade while others seem like it's 50/50. Thanks for the info.

Damn, you gotta tell us how you get these twitter and Instagram boys, because those boys are smoking hot.

@floridarob Wanted to ask you if they required a COVID test either coming or going.

Congrats on your fucksgiving weekend!

I wouldn't necessarily say that the currency is far devalued. If you look at most LATAM currencies they have steadily declined or traded sideways in value over the last decade which is a trend I personally see continuing. The political situation in LATAM in late 2020-2021 portend to possible victories by left leaning governments which generally punishes the currency as international investors flee. It is my estimation the Real will temporarily rise just like Mexican Peso but over the long-term will fall in value. Most of LATAM require a surplus of dollars to buy products in the foreign markets. The first way they draw dollars in is by keeping rates high causing investors to borrow in a foreign currency with low rates usually USD or Yen and invest in the local country pushing capital into the banking system and spurring spending and consumption (Lebanon Model). The second way by lowering rates to depreciate their currency and artificially lower the cost of exports leaving export firms flush with capital that makes it's way into the local capital markets (Most of Latin America). Most Latin American currencies are so intertwined with exports that their currencies move in lock step with the commodity they export. (Mexico peso and Colombian peso go up nearly every-time oil rises). I am very pessimistic on Brazil personally because their main exports are Oil&Gas/Ethanol (Petrobras), soy for sorghum (cattle feed), sugar(ethanol), and iron ore. The Chinese just said they are switching to US soy supplies, electrification of car (Teslas ect), and future diets that will be less meat based will long-term sink Brazil's export base. America can print it's way out of debt because most people use our currency to settle debts giving it intrinsic value no matter what despot ascends the throne of presidency but Brazil has no luxury to do that. The only thing they can do is export or tap their swap line at the FED for dollars.

Thank you Gentlemen!

Hey @floridarob since your in SP and know Lagoa, would you happen to know if these two fine gentlemen work there still? Thank you for any info you have.

Thank you for sharing, unfortunately it's only available to Canadians.

It's too late for me, I've got the fight, AirBnb, and travel insurance booked for Aug 31st for Sao Paulo, will be there a month then heading to Rio October 1st because i can't imagine a better Halloween than Brazil, will be there till Dec 1st then will decide if I go to Medellin or Buenos Aires. If your there in November definitely lets team up!! Buyer beware I am younger than most people on here, I'm turning 29 end of month so if you can't keep up i understand.

@numazu1Awesome report! I wanted to ask you about two guys at Lagoa, would you happen to know if these two men are still working? Scouting...

You two are hilarious. I'm not sure why the argument still. Both of you have a hypothesis of how this is going to go in November and are both dead set on it,lets just wait and see. It's clear this forum is not going to sway the overall vote. All I know is I just made plans to go to Brazil in November to avoid the whole shit show. And it will be a shit show.

I will be in Rio too in November, I'm leaving August 31st and will be in Sao Paulo and Rio through Christmas and maybe even into Feb if I like it.

Ditto, I am the worst. I feel they over blow everything. If I listened to them all the time I'd never leave my hotel in a foreign country.

Yeah lost cause. Some people really want to drink the Kool Aide. Not sure he realizes how hollow some of those laws are. The housing law and later lending laws largely allowed for racist to do as they wish with their property as long as they did an arms length transaction and low volume of business. (As a mortgage lending pro I was surprised at the discrimination we are allowed and the blatant racism I saw in lending with private money loans for house flips) If you look at the laws they did the least possible for affected minorities while still giving southerners the right to turn away minorities. The new conservative supreme courts have torn apart the voting rights act and they only stayed so long because we had a more liberal Supreme Court. These were just appeasements when we needed Constitutional Amendments. 60+ years with the war on poverty and Black households still only have 10% of White households wealth.

Don't make me tear through Truman. It will be a long rant!

Nobody but Barack Obama and any other human with historical knowledge would say otherwise. Sure he did pass a weak ass Civil rights bill instead of a Constitutional Amendment and spent 20 years opposing Blacks prior to his ascendancy. He's not racist it's just the Blacks 20 years prior didn't deserve their rights. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2014/apr/14/barack-obama/lyndon-johnson-opposed-every-civil-rights-proposal/

They just want you to vote so they can throw it in your face. We'll you voted for him or conversely you should have voted as if the choices were any better. I'll vote 3rd party instead or won't vote. Not voting is just as power a statement that nether choice is acceptable.

If people are stupid enough to listen to medical advice from Trump that's on them. Do I care what these past presidents would think, HELL NO. Those past presidents were the progenitor to Trump. Trump didn't just evolve out out some Petri dish. The racism was sown in by FDR and his exclusion of Blacks from federal subsidized FHA loan for homes, exclusion from the GI Bill (Hurt my family Great Grand Father Airforce WWII). Don't let me get on all the other virulent racists and sexists who have run this country. I could go on for days with all the other presidents on your list but I think people think most fondly of FDR so I hit him. If you look at Biden he is in the same club of sexists and racists. How does Biden solve Black crime due from poverty- Incarceration How did Obama/Biden handle Immigration from Central America caused by gangs (MS-13) that were started in Los Angeles- Deportation, where they can be killed by MS-13 because we decided to turn Guatemala into Narco state because we wanted right-wing Juan Orlando Hernandez and his drug trafficking brother because they would allow for American business interest to continue. How was Medical handled under Obama/Biden- Greatest blowjob to the insurance industry ever, not only was every American forced to buy private health insurance they were fined and the costs were astronomical. No public option, no expanded Medicare, didn't fix Social Security (Super easy just raise the cap on earnings). Biden is also the reason for the 1.5-2.0 Trillion dollar student debt crisis, he made it hard for regular people to discharge debt and impossible to discharge student debt. He is so far up Wallstreets ass that who cares if he didn't recommend Hydrochloroquine. He'll probably end up killing more people with his economic policies. You'll be lucky to afford the co-pay on your Hydroxy, because handsy Joe doesn't believe in universal healthcare for all citizens like most of the developed world. Finally, all the sexual harassment claims against this man and his apparent lack personal space with young girls hair makes me think, Why is he so much better a choice? All of the past presidents have sucked why assume Biden is better when he is cut from exactly the same cloth. This is all a game and political illusion to think the Obama's, Trumps, and Clinton's all don't just hang out in the same social groups but put on a big show for C-Span. It's why you see Michelle Obama hanging all over GW Bush after they spent their time in the WH saying he was the Devil. There are pictures of these people all at the same parties. It's a sham and Biden won't get my consent to be abused.

@floridarob Thanks for sharing!

I think it's a lost cause to try and persuade this group. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who wins. We will still be in wars, have a rigged economy, and a crumbling democracy with untrustworthy institutions. But hey, some of our sauna aficionados will get to see more desperate Venezuelan guys when they visit Colombia or Brazil.

I'm going to be perfectly honest with you Black people are not pleased with her. There are conversations that Black people (Excluding Africans or Any Person Not of The African American Diaspora) that we don't have in front of guests. The non-politically correct Black folks that you don't see on T.V. are telling me they can't stand Kamala because she is only conveniently Black now, but when she won her Senate seat the headlines were first Indian-American wins California Senate seat. Her criminal record layered on top of Biden's Crime Bill just kills her chance. This conservative Black YouTuber is on right now with 20,000 viewers trashing Kamala with some arguments I really find hard to refute. Now the majority of Black folks will more than likely vote Biden/Harris. But a full quarter of Black men voted for Trump in 2016, just imagine how that number will go up especially after his soft criminal justice reform in light of the polar opposite presented by Biden & Harris. Criminal justice is an acute issue for Black men when a full 1/3 to 1/4 of Black men are incarcerated. The vote that shows up will heavily go Democratic but turnout will be low, low enough to push Trump to squeak a win in key need to win states.

@numazu1 Thank you for sharing info. Do you happen to know what the minimum coverage is? Do you need 100K or outpatient care? It looks like all they want is travel insurance that has a medical component that covers you in medical emergencies or the need to repatriate for medical reasons. Am I right?

I am Black, I don't need to live vicariously through friends. And I refuse to vote for her. I don't represent all Black men, but I think I know my people better than you.
