Far West Revisited Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro intends to allow Brazilians to carry guns wherever they go. In a country which has one of the highest homicide rates in the world, this policy would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. This rings a bell: it reminds us of NRA, the National Rifle Seguir leyendo
Argentine politicians aspiring to become our next President seem to be practicing “polyamory”. Those who used to hate each other and said it openly, have now become best friends.
