Here in Sao Paulo in Brazil nothing is really really different, because a hell lot of people are going out anyway

Unless Bloomberg starts running a series on how we can seriously transition away from our oligopolistic corporatist late-stage-capitalist system, I'll say this poor dude was given some token airtime before the wealth generating class can return to Business As Usual.
