Brazilian life and death

Human beings are constantly being watched and punished. It's not easy. The biggest bastion of surveillance is the school. The henchmen of the capitalist/imperialist system use a tight rein to symbolically violate students and teachers, fitting them into the funnel method: exclusion/inclusion.

Teachers who receive low salaries are controlled by this. The salary ranges of each public servant or worker have their death sentence decreed in the country, which is still not happy: "Brazil is the 44th happiest country in the world, according to the World Happiness Report, presented annually by the UN on March 20, when World Happiness Day is celebrated," March 20, 2024.

If so many educational setbacks that turn the student into a puppet of the system at the whim of the world elites were not enough, the absence of a humane and effective health system kills: "A pastor died after pleading for care at the 16th Maria Conceição Imbassahy Health Center, in the Pau Miúdo neighborhood, in Salvador, on Tuesday night (11). Adnailda Souza Santos, 42, was asthmatic and suffered from shortness of breath."

How do you report a tragedy like this?

Meanwhile, the turmoil continues, smoking in the back rooms of power. Let's see what the BBC source says: "Amnesty for people involved in the invasion of the Three Powers headquarters in Brasília on January 8, 2023, was one of the main topics of speeches at the demonstration called by Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, for this Sunday (March 16).

In his speech to supporters, the former president said there are enough votes to approve the text of the amnesty bill currently being debated in the National Congress, adding that if President Lula vetoes it, "we will overturn the veto."

Executive governance in Brazil is going through an unprecedented crisis; our leaders (lately) are under investigation by the courts.

Meanwhile, the poor population, which swells the base of the sociological pyramid, is thirsty and hungry for real and immediate change, that is, without delay or fallacy. Let's see what the DCO newspaper says: "The approval of the new Income Tax rule still depends on Congress, which, throughout the government, has always demanded a high price to approve what came from the Executive Branch, even if it was in its interest. If approved, it will be one of the government's most positive measures so far, but, by itself, it will not be enough to reverse the situation of political wear and tear. After all, a minimally popular government should adopt this policy as something basic, and not as a great achievement."

And after observing – a degrading determinism in a world at war – and in an unstable Brazil, especially regarding social equity, I leave the following statement to the readers: "The Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli gave an interview to the BBC aboard the International Space Station (ISS), 400 kilometers from Earth." He stated: "I think we need to be attentive and careful with what we do because the Earth is fragile. It's beautiful, but it's fragile."

And I ask: Who are we in the queue for air? And the same astronaut made it clear in an interview that our biodiversity is at risk due to the fragility of our incredible atmosphere. An atmosphere that could disappear, as evidenced, for example, by the atomic bomb tests, which almost destroyed this miraculous gaseous system.

I conclude this text with another quote from astronaut Paolo Nespoli: "Human physiology evolved to adapt to planet Earth, not to the external environment."
