Unless we are talking about pesticides, where Brazil is effectively dumping grounds for substances banned in EU. Every time some pesticide is forbidden in Europe, brazilian regulators are happy allowing local agribusiness import it by the ton in fire sales: https://www.brasildefato.com.br/2025/10/14/export-grade-pois...
Ok, good for Taleb, he made a good investment potentially, but gold increasing in value relative to the dollar doesn't make it the reserve currency. Being used in transactions makes it the world currency. Otherwise, nvidia stock would be the new world reserve currency.
It's more like people are corporations' gut bacteria that are always in dire health because the organism loves junk food of all kinds so much and sometimes is doing drugs too.

Bare minimum it gives chinese tech suppliers a great pitch to convince buyers to choose their products over US suppliers. Even if theirs are also full of backdoors, at least they have no history of taking advantage of them to kidnap heads of state far away.
I recently installed and spent some weeks testing the past release, Mageia 9. Nice system. I'm currently learning R, one thing I noticed is that mandriva-derived distributions are some of the few that have RStudio packaged in the repositories. When LMDE 7 was released I installed it instead, as the package versions in Mageia 9 were quite old, but once Mageia 10 is released I intend to go back.
