Evolution of underground metro lines in Rio de Janeiro and Shanghai:

Note that Brazil is actually (for the time being) richer than China. We just choose to spend our money paying people to do nothing, as opposed to investing on infra-structure.

And then they argue organizing the World Cup and Olympics is good for infrastructure...

if you look up the great emu war of 1932, they won and we have been occupied ever since...

Spoiler :

“We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Western Australia, we shall fight on the Great Barrier Reef and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength on Aires Rock, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight in the desert, we shall fight on the emu nesting grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving to the evil emu cause, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Australian Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, all the bloody emus will die.”
~ Winston Churchill's famous speech on the Emu War.
