My unrequested opinion on this:

This was written by someone who knows anyone reading this doesn’t have the full picture (english speaking foreigners), so I’m just going to try to be the least biased in any favor and just put some additional information.

The correios (the state owned postal and parcel service) is in crisis, they aren’t profitable, mainly because of the standardization of tariffs on imported items from China, some items that didn’t pay, now pay, some items that were “lotteries” were regulated, so everything above 50 dollars (if i remember correctly) now pays the standard tax, plus state to state taxes that already existed. This affected them, because there’s less imported items from aliexpress, etc, and almost all of the items were shipped through them.

They are now trying to negotiate some loans, like the denied loan from the state bank (Caixa Econômica Federal), the government gave the option to take some other loans that they would need to reestructure to take (like giving plans for people to retire voluntarely, which is always bad, because these plans are always scams). This strike seems to only happen in São Paulo (and the person writing this seems to be paulista, for their way of writing).

Now my opinion:

This is bad, really seems to try to go ahead and enshittify another service, now a service that is literally the backbone of the logistics of the country. The logistics of a country shouldn’t need to be profitable, it should do the logistics, as they are a public service reaching like 99% of the country in unprofitable regions, and the workers should not be outsourced. The workers should try to fight for their rights and make their voices heard. All the power to them!

The Gripen is quite interesting, who would have guessed that licensing fighter jets for manufacturing on other countries (Embraer is building them too, Colombia bought some, other countries seem to want it too) would be a good strategy?

I’ll wait 50 years for a Gripen to be sold on Aliexpress for 150 thousand dollars, 250 thousand with replacement parts with a cool paint job.
