Let's hope Brazilians give him a chance.

Well, they elected him, after all.

He's restoring the right to bear arms to the citizens and back to the rule of law.  Brazil is the murder capital of the world, so I think the citizens of Brazil will most certainly give him a shot.  The big worry of course, is bringing their economy forward to make Brazil the great country it can be.  It will take sacrifice by the population, but I think Bolsanaro is no Macron.  He'll do what he says and tell the people how it will actually work and move ahead, protests and all that will certainly occur.

I knew I had a massive challenge on my hand for trying to build economic development models at Aramco when leadership was so excited about Brazil and Petrobras and wanted that emulated. At best the Petrobras model was uneconomical, at worst, prime for generating graft and fraud.
