Brazil in chaos (2016 Olympics)

[OPoraquê]

Mass demonstrations 4+ months out in many if not most Brazilian capitals and largest cities, oil prices far below where Brazil (which had been going to use very expensive procedures to extract newly-discovered offshore deposits) thought they would be, the current epicenter of the zika virus...the IOC has to be patting itself on the back for choosing one of the largest third-world countries on the globe to host these games.

I hope things can calm down before August.  And I hope security can still be strong as well for the games.

Release of tapped phone calls between (former president) Lula and (current president) Rousseff sparks mass protests in Brazil.
