see Meta, which is operating like a crime syndicate, leveraging higher fees on scammers "to discourage" them, retaining their impact on supply side auction prices and well knowing many don't pay with their own credit cards.
They didn't care about being a huge driver behind a genocide, why would they possibly care about people getting scammed out of cancer fundraiser donations. Once you find out that someone has worked at any point for Meta past say, 2020, you know everything you need about them.
The point is to take the money, you see. It's the idiots who give it (which will involve looting the federal government for years to come) who will be screwed, not the guys running the scam. This should be evident after AI now. The entire industry is a narrative manufacturing machine aimed at separating investors from their money. That's all there is to it.
Kind of an odd conclusion to take from a weird question.
I would not subject myself or my property to a foreign court system for various reasons, but first and foremost because I'm not subject to their laws.
If I'm on Brazilian territory or doing business in Brazil, however, the question is equally pointless: barring certain exceptions, you are subject to the Brazilian laws to the extent of your presence in the country - period. You have no choice on this matter.
Courts are fallible and that's why you have levels, due process, and presumption of innocence. The Brazilian system is not perfect and it's slow but you cannot say the American system is much better when comparing decisions at same court level.
"first and foremost because I'm not subject to their laws"
People often shop for good jurisdictions when founding companies or even concluding contracts which need an arbitration clause. Countries which have a reputation for quick and neutral justice tend to attract foreigners for this purpose. In Europe, either UK or the Netherlands are on the top of this ladder.
IDK where precisely Brazil stands on this ladder. They seem to attract quite a lot of FDI, so maybe not as bad as the GP said.
This wasn't clear for me from the question, though I understand where you are coming from.
Investing is certainly not as risky as people from outside of Brazil generally think it is, since the banking system is well regulated and the legal framework is solid.
My two cents: if someone that is a foreigner in both Brazil and the US asked me what I think, I would say investing is Brazil is likely less risky than the US at the moment.
We have already done that, along with all the other countries who signed it. The problem is signing up for bullshit symbolic treaties that we have absolutely no intent of ever meeting the obligations. Nobody was ever actually serious that they would defend Ukraine against Russian aggression.
