Truckers' strike? Not to worry about. For the average Brazilian fed a diet of fake news and "let's go to the streets" calls the truckers are protesting against the politicians and the status quo. I am laughing here. The truckers' strike was high jacked as the causes are more mundane. Recession has plummeted number of truck trips Fleet, which had been inflated by government subsidies, had idleness and unemployment after the crisis According to economist Samuel Pessoa, as a result of the policy of financing trucks by Bndes in the second Lula government, the fleet expanded by 40% while freight by only 10%. Interest was only 2.5% per year. Were they protesting when they were they getting the subsidies to buy trucks? No they were not. It is the most natural thing that during a recession transport of goods go down. Now the Brazilians are looking like idiots by supporting the truckers. www1.folha.uol.com.br

US investors are pouring millions into a healthcare company that doesn't take insurance and lists its prices like a 'McDonald's menu' Meet Dr. Consulta, a Brazil-based healthcare company that provides set prices for services like checkups and MRIs. Founded in 2011, the company has already seen 1 million patients through its clinics and raised $100 million, with plans to raise even more. The company could be a model for healthcare in the US, which has been putting pressure on patients through higher out-of-pocket costs for doctor visits and prescription drugs. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-dr-consulta-is-changing-the-brazilian-healthcare-system-2018-8?IR=T
