💭 Critical Reflection:
Do the numbers really show reality or are we being manipulated by statistics that mask the country's structural problems?
Who benefits from GDP growth? Does this economic progress reach workers or remain concentrated in a small elite?
Is the high dollar just a reflection of external factors, or are we facing an internal crisis of confidence that is not being clearly explained to us?
Inflation and the Selic rate on the rise: are they necessary measures or a disproportionate burden for the population that is already facing difficulties?
Are we looking at the real picture or just seeing what they want us to see? Does the economy, as it is being presented, solve our problems or just postpone them?
