The president of Brazil is not a forward thinking person. With a population that size they should be competing with China but they are just a bunch of economic n00bs who will go no-where except the beach.
I think their primary hobby is murdering each other.
There are some exceptional operations there like Embraer but overall I really don't understand why South America is so consistently useless. They have brains and natural resources.
As for the president, he seems like the type of person who'd like to keep women chained up at home so I would not expect any announcements worth listening to about anything remotely futuristic.
