According to Poder 360, at least 20 Brazilian states have been prevented from participating in the truck drivers’ strike on this Monday (01). It was expected that the halt would occur only starting from the 2nd. Deputies contest the decision published by the STF, the Federal Supreme Court, and argue that it is against the Brazilian constitution to prevent citizens from manifesting. Santa Catarina, which could have faced crowds on BR 101 and traffic stoppages, also had prohibitions.

Last Friday (29), the Ibovespa, the Stock Exchange, ended down 2% at 103,000 points due to the climate of instability for this week. Markets are already alerting their clients that if there is a block, they may run out of supplies. Adilson Souza, in an interview for our portal, stated that during the strike they had in September, the company he worked for transporting gas ran out of stock and could not meet customer orders.

“We don‘t know how it should work, how it will be. But, I think the consequences will be the same as before. The rise of the dollar, gasoline prices, the decrease in operations on the Stock Exchange. The sector does not have a centralized organization on whether or not to manifest, everyone is deciding for themselves on their day off”, he adds.

Holiday: How It Will Happen for Truck Drivers?

The holiday on November 2 is national and not optional. Therefore, employees have the right to take a day off or choose to receive overtime at 100% if the position mandates this. Due to the impossibility of the truck drivers’ strike addressed by the STF, the Federal Supreme Court, it is expected that traffic to coastal regions will continue to flow normally and without major delays.

Workers in the sector, who promised to hold protests on that day, contest on social media that the STF is imposing a dictatorship. In their petitions and requests, they asked for a reduction in retirement age from 65 years for men and also greater control over diesel prices, as well as gasoline prices. In at least 6 states, the price of both has already exceeded R$ 7 and could reach R$ 8 by the end of 2021.

Impacts Already Felt?

The impacts of the truck drivers’ strike attempt with low adherence can already be felt in the Brazilian economy: the dollar, the U.S. currency, started the day up by 0.06%, costing about R$ 5.65. The exchange rate, in the year 2021, has been one of the main factors determining the constant changes in fuel prices. Regarding the Ibovespa, despite the climate of instability, it started the day with a slight increase of 0.96% to 104,000 points. The Stock Exchange would have ended the day down at 103,000 points, adding a negative valuation of 2% last Friday (29).

Impacts Already Felt?

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

BNDES opens billion-dollar credit of up to R$ 50 million per client for the purchase of trucks, buses, and equipment and promises to accelerate the renewal of the heavy fleet on Brazilian roads.

Pickle juice, molasses, and brewery waste are spread by trucks on frozen roads in Massachusetts to melt ice after a shortage of road salt, repurpose industrial waste, and reduce damage to rivers and lakes used as sources of drinking water.

China places in the sea an 8-story, 25,000-ton steel giant, the largest offshore wind station in the world, capable of transmitting 6 billion kWh per year and bringing clean energy to areas increasingly distant from the coast.

Braking only in front of the radar and accelerating right after may no longer be an option for drivers, because BR-101 in Espírito Santo tested a system that measures the average speed over an entire stretch and caught a car at 124 km/h on a 60 km/h road.

Building a 95-square-meter house in 2026 can start at around R$ 185,000 at the reference base and exceed R$ 330,000 in high standard, but the final cost depends on the land, finishing, fees, and the region, with the South of the country being among the most expensive in Brazil.
