Nice try to distract from a horrible earnings release!

Ultimately both winning is consensus finding in democracy. It should never be absolute on either side.

I literally saw the smugness and confidence get wiped off their faces in real time. They thought they were going to win straight up in the 2nd round of the election, and by the end of it they looked like they were attending a funeral

It shows how little VCs know about technology

There is effectively no practical difference between supply and consumption once you isolate domestic use?
What do you think happens to that supply if it isn't exported? Why do you think they supply that much if no one is eating it?
Maybe this is helpful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

Ironic this was written on a plain text page

That's meat supply inside the country, domestic, not including exports.
FAO figures: production + imports − exports (± stock changes) = meat available in the country
Or, if you prefer a Brazilian source, here is one confirming 105kg per person of 'internal availability' inside the country after exports: https://seucreditodigital.com.br/disponibilidade-carnes-bras...
Brazil's 104.6 is what is available after net exports. With exports it's more like 148(!)
And yes of course vegetable based diets are included. That's a perfectly reasonable and in many ways healthier diet, followed by individuals in countries across the world. It makes no sense to exclude it.

> Irrigation technology. Solved.
And where do you think the water comes from for that 'irrigation technology'? Rainfall.
> Are you absolutely sure you want to to disdain our "completely unnecessary decadent meat consumption" ?
Brazil has one of the highest meat consumptions per capita in the world. 50% higher than Germany. 40% higher than France. More than twice the world average. So yes.

Meat consumption per capita (kg/person)
US 122.1
Brazil 104.6
France 80.3
Germany 70.7
World average 45.1
Rainforests are being cut down to feed cattle so people can eat beef multiple times per day. It has nothing to do with not being able to afford food.

Because deforestation will mean your farmers across the country won't get reliable rainfall. That sounds like something will obviously harm your entire agriculture industry and also put your food supply at risk.
And for what? Completely unnecessary decadent meat consumption (50% more meat consumption per capita than Germany)? Good luck with that.

Sure, I won't object if you have a few mines for rare earths, if you stop deforestation for cattle feed (90%) and deforestation for cheap metals (iron etc - which is the other 10%). 1% for rare earths would be fine tbh. However this is not why the rainforest is being cut down. It's being cut down so that people can eat beef multiple times per week (with the resulting public health crisis that will come from that).

You're cutting down your rainforest (one of your greatest assets) so middle/upper class people in Sao Paulo can do Churrasco 3X a week and have so much meat left over they have to throw it away. It has nothing to do with technological development, sorry.

You need to go for a walk in nature. There’s more to life than semi-conductors. Sad!

What an absolute mess. Nothing but stress with railway over the past year.
Sounds like what happened to the idealism of Silicon Valley
