The government hasn’t published its own figures yet but data from the Getulio Vargas Foundation, one of Brazil’s top universities, show that those living on less than $1.9 a day fell to 3.3% in June from 8% last year, and those below the poverty line were at 21.7% compared with 25.6%. Both represent 16-year lows.No one here has yet to read the link.
I did. It and the OP are trying to make an argument for UBI/socialism by making it seem like some lasting changes have been made by a couple months of some governments handouts in Brazil. The economic damage from Covid is not even fully realized in Brazil yet. Poverty is going to go up and the government handouts are not sustainable at all. It's a terrible article and a terrible thread. Nothing that has happened in Brazil in response to Covid proves that socialism works.
