As a Brazilian, I can testify that we’re all deeply ashamed of this stupidity.

It has even become a meme.

At least your guy is trying to make money instead of whatever our guys are doing <shrugs> Trying to see it as half full??

...to take money...

Our guys are trying to create money ex nihilo.

Money is always created out of nothing.

The governor even made a video [1]. A professionally produced video (which means expensive, obviously paid by the taxpayer) to convince (!?) Jeff Bezos.

What does he really expect? That Jeff will go "Yeah, you got me, I was waiting for this, here are some billions of dollars to you" ?
