That chart is ridicules everything is over twice of what it costs here that's just not right to make someone pay that much for things regardless whether it be essential or not.

Exactly. I think that it's one of the main factors that makes out economy grow so slowly. The prices are so outrageous that it just scares people away from buying those, or even, importing illegally. The worse thing is that it's never a good deal to buy those things because you'll always end up losing. With the actual taxes and currency exchanges, you have to pay up to almost 4 times the price of the product for its counterpart on the US market.

It's needless to say, too, that the minimus wage here is of R$600 (approx. $300) I don't know you, but would you really be able to live with only $300 per month even with the market in the US being more available?

The govern here is just so filled with stupid people that it really makes me go there and kill every single one that is inside that place for the amount of corruption and stupidity they produce for us. The economy doesn't grow and investments don't occur in a pace that it owuld be much better than it is now. They keep saying "don't pirate", but it's hard not to do so when they just won't lower the prices of the original products.

It's just a huge mess made with the most stupid people you could find walking in the face of earth that just have no idea how that would be better for all of us.
