Since I was very young, I never felt much admiration for the US. Their cultural influence always seemed overwhelming, maybe that’s one reason I became so drawn to classical music. Today, I can’t imagine living without it.
When I studied physics, I dreamed of earning a PhD in Europe. Why? I wanted to live somewhere where public transportation was the norm, not a privilege.
I was lucky to receive a scholarship that let me spend six months in a wealthy European city during my master’s program. I didn’t finish the degree, but that experience completely changed my life at 23.
I could never relate to friends who wanted to pursue their careers in the US. To me, it always felt like a wealthier version of Brazil. I visited them three times for work, San Francisco, Washington DC, and Sausalito, and the inequalities I’d grown up with were right there in front of me.
I’ve always found American patriotism somewhat suspicious. Maybe it’s a way to compensate for the country’s deep contradictions, to build a fantasy of greatness that so many, even abroad, even in Europe, end up believing in.

Meanwhile, Labour’s plan is to freeze thresholds and make working people pay more, while leaving the super-rich untouched.
It’s time to ask: who do you support?

Lots of data and neat graphs here illustrating the global problem of #inequality and how it is distributed across the world.
Puts into perspective quite a few often repeated myths. Have a look!
