Last I heard the largest export for Brazil is their meat. The largest producer of meat is in fact headquartered and based out of Brazil — JBS, SA.

They are a very corrupt entity [1,2,3] and likely have many Brazilian politicians in their pocket/on payroll. The list of controversies this company has would put Goldman Sachs to shame [4]. So it would not surprise me if the government was blind to the destruction of Amazon Rainforest.

At this point, I am okay with the world taking ownership of the Amazon Rainforest and delegating protection to the natives that live in the Amazon Rainforest.

Fuck JBS. Fuck the corrupt Brazilian government.

And how would this transfer take place? With Aircraft carriers and a naval invasion? Are we setting up for Falklands v2.0?

Can I make a wishlist?

Somehow I doubt that.
