If the issue is trust, or the fear of having it violated, doesn't that suggest that you're expecting some reciprocation? Wouldn't it be clear to you then that you're in the "favor" territory

Must be a fun story for sure. One of those movies that come to mind when one thinks of NYC in the 70s/post Moses-era
Edit: originally had written the year as 1873!
In my view, largely influenced by Ribeiro, Brazil's elites are immensely selfish and petty, as well as always stuck in outdated economics and politics (e.g. rural elites have always been way too influential, ). The State is blatantly *negligent* and does not think about serving its people (e.g. let them build and live in favelas and leave them to their faith, build a new housing project but make it 20 miles from the beach and nevermind planning for transportation or education in the area).
There's definitely much that I love about Brazilian culture and the "general disposition" of my fellow nationals, but I agree that as a whole we have developed this sense of morbid ironic detachment from our social environment.
I also believe his rant is more likely just a rant. And he may or may not have long or short positions in Bitcoin. I also like to believe he is too sophisticated (well, to be fair, as a quant/professional trader he is very sophisticated) to think that he's influencing the market in his favor with his tweets (he knows he's not Elon Musk).
Things like armed robbery and just plain mugging in the middle of the street in broad daylight is RAMPANT in every major city in the country except perhaps in some cases in the Midwest, Southeast and South (richer regions of the nation and often showing better local governments).
Everyone looked very friendly. I guess it's not my taste, but she treated it like a place I had to visit haha
1. Do not buy an expensive car; 2. Do not buy a car unless really necessary (of course not feasible/practical in many parts/cities of the world); 3. Avoid all kinds of subscriptions you can. Anything that consistently affects your income; 4. If you're making good income, don't act like it's going to be like this for ever; 5. Try to stay ahead in your career so that you're eligible for the upper end salaries;
Here in Brazil (perhaps specially in the older Northeast, where I'm from) having a maid is still very strong but has changed considerable in the past two decades.
It used to be the case that these maids would work for a family for decades without any of the guarantees that Brazilian work laws guarantee. Whether or not one agrees with those laws is secondary to the fact that these workers were largely kept out of it for ages.
It used to also be the case that families would require maids to sleep in the house. Woman who had their own family often had to accept spending nights on their "patrões" home to make sure they were there ready to work at 6am.
