It depends a lot on the region of the country. Each region faces different problems but in general is the corruption of the politicians we have

1) Low quality education. Our schools have an awful system, called Progressão Continuada, that approves students even when their grades are trash and they know nothing, which often creates ignorant adults that are not ready for the job market or get in a university. 2) A vulgar culture. Brazil doesn't encourage artists to create music, write books, create movies etc, so the people dont really appreciate the art of our own country, but instead just takes things from others. A Law called Lei Rouanet was created some years ago to fix this issue, to give money to small artists, however the dishonesty of artists and politicians made this nearly useless as its often used to fund artists that are already famous, and ignoring the new ones. Brazillians often take interest in low quality entertainment like soap operas, reality shows like Big Brother Brazil and music genres like Funk, that has an extremely obscene dance, with songs full of horrible lyrics that talk about sex, in the most discusting way possible, crimes, and wealth. 3) Unemployment. Nowadays Brazil has a very high percentage of unemployment due to instability in the economy and politics in the past decades. There is a huge amount of taxes a Sole Micro Entrepreneur that wants to open business needs to pay, and the paperwork necessary is absurd, i remember i saw an article once that said it takes 79 days on average to open business in Brazil. 4) Prejudice. Brazil is not one of the most tolerant countries out there, i had to answer a question from someone here about this, so i discovered our contry was ranked 7° among 27 contries, for the most intolerant contries in the world. 5) Social Inequality. Brazil has a huge difference between the poor and the rich, and was ranked high on this aspect, the money a rich person makes per month can be 29 times greater than what a poor person makes, compared to France this is only 7 times, according to the website Fia. 6) Health. Most of the population, around 70%, depends on a public health service called SUS, and because of this the service is often overloaded, and lacks quality. Recieving medical treatment can take months in certain cases and people already died waiting.

No momento, incerteza na administração do país, frente a questão política.

Porque não é possível, esperar de uma brincadeira de legenda política,
escolher entre um direitista ou um esquerdista.
Isto só pode ser uma brincadeira, com um país.

E não temos candidatos.
