Esto escribía en 2018.
“Lula: ‘Cometí el crimen de poner pobres en la universidad, de poner negros en la universidad, pobres comiendo carne, viajando en avión. Por ese crimen me acusan’. Y es verdad. Por eso se lo ama y se lo odia. Lo demás son excusas, operaciones, tácticas y relato”.
Hoy Lula vuelve a ser elegido presidente de Brasil, por cuarta vez. Y sigo pensando lo mismo. La clase alta no le perdona que haya distribuido la riqueza y reconocido derechos a quienes siempre quedaron afuera. Por eso mismo el pueblo lo elige, lo sigue y lo defiende.

One world. One struggle✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
In Serbia, Netanyahu and Trump’s political allies have been shown the door.
In Brazil, voters have rejected Flávio Bolsonaro.
Different countries. Same global struggle against the far right.
TOMORROW ISRAEL AND NOVEMBER AMERICA‼️

A fair point from this article is that the real limit is real resources, not dollars. Fewer workers per retiree does matter. But the Crown issues NZD, so it can always pay NZ Super. It credits accounts. Tax and bonds don't fund it, they drain money afterwards.
So "can we afford it" is the wrong question. The right one is whether we'll have the nurses, carers, builders and care facilities to meet the demand. That's a productivity, migration and inflation question, and 8% of GDP is a call on real output. It isn't a bill the Treasury might fail to pay.
Raising the age cuts the number of people claiming. It doesn't make the pension any more payable. You're naming a real-capacity constraint and calling it a funding problem.

Lula versus Bolsonaro: Passei 1.901 dias em confinamento solitário por revelar a verdade sobre os assassinatos e a espionagem do governo dos EUA, inclusive contra o Brasil e suas indústrias. Lula, fora do poder, lutou pela minha liberdade. Lula, no poder, discutiu minha perseguição com o papa Francisco, que decidiu se encontrar com minha família e ajudar. Depois da minha libertação, Lula e eu nos encontramos em Roma para lamentar a morte do Santo Padre. Lula foi gentil com meus filhos e não pediu nada em troca. Em contraste, Jair e Flávio Bolsonaro nada fizeram e nada disseram. Sem a capacidade de dizer não a Washington e a Tel Aviv, não pode haver política interna, apenas ordens estrangeiras. Essas instruções são sempre as mesmas: “Ampliem nosso roubo de recursos e salários e calem a boca sobre nós assassinarmos crianças”. Os entreguistas entregarão tudo em troca de uma fatia, até a própria língua.

National tanked the economy but blame it all on "oil". The difference to Labour (if we accept the prima facie premise that all debt is bad,) is that Labour ran surpluses until #COVID19 -19 hit & spent to save lives and preserve jobs. National tanked the economy from the start

Brazil chose hope over hate, democracy over extremism, and a future that belongs to everyone.
Lula’s victory over far-right Bolsonaro is more than a political triumph. It is a rallying cry for all who refuse to let fear define our future: justice is worth fighting for, democracy is worth defending, and neither can endure without accountability, transparency, and the courage of people willing to stand up and act.

Why do shareholders get the rewards when workers create the wealth a company generates? Is it time to rethink just what companies are for and to require that the rewards be shared more fairly? youtu.be/15r28WaimP8?si=oiL5…

Any billionaire using their resources and power to unilaterally interfere in foreign conflicts needs to understand they are making themselves a military target.
BREAKING 🚨🔥

Tous les sondages le voyaient perdant au 2e tour.
À 80 ans, grâce à une belle campagne et un élan populaire, il a déjoué les pronostics.
Cette remontada face à l’extrême droite brésilienne est magnifique !
Bravo et merci @LulaOficial ❤️🇧🇷
