This is the problem.
I needed a car battery the other day and just wanted to know if it was in stock because it's a little uncommon. I went online, it said they did, went to the store, they didn't, told me to call and verify because online updates overnight.
I called 4 different stores, nobody answered the first 3, 4th one rang forever, then an auto answering thing kept me for 5 minutes and when no option helped me it said "try again later, goodbye."
You didn't misremember, it was a scholarly discussion point that spread too far before it got debunked, like how some people still believe the "gum stays inside you for 7 years"
I was talking with my girlfriend and Tar Shampoo came up, and I said "I don't even know exactly what that is used for other than dramatically killing off a horse" and she hung up on me.
But what if they mutate?!
This is the saddest meme I've seen in recent memory, if only because of its accuracy
It's a common thing in many countries. It's, among other things, a liability issue.
If your "country #1" company does business in "country #2" then what laws apply to them?
In order to distinguish clear lines what "country #2" requires is a representative for the company to be in the country. If the company breaks "country #2"'s laws then the representative is liable for it.
Generally to be a representative you have to have a measurable stake in the transaction, you can't just be a random Jimbo, so it usually falls to a law firm (or an entity that works with one), mainly because if you need people to help your company follow the law, then they should know the law.
If the company breaks the law, the firm has to deal with that, so it's a risk for them.
In this case, X needed that representative, either they couldn't or wouldn't find one, therefore Brazil said "we can't hold you accountable to our laws, so get out of our country."
I'm super, MEGA, oversimplifying, and I'm no expert, but this is my best understanding.
They require a representative in order to establish a chain of responsibility that deals with crime, censorship, social health (lol), public relations, etc.
It does come down to a combination of size, influence, services rendered, and other factors.
He could put a random kid in charge but it would make it worse, like putting a busboy in a chef's hat during Rush hour.
I mean, you're being facetious, but no, the law being "your company must have a legal representative to be within our borders"
X was told about it, given a deadline, they missed the deadline, they can't be in Brazil
Actions have consequences
The beauty of poetry is that it can be whatever it comes out as, because it's you sharing your inner art, outward.
This is a poem, and it made me feel things. I think that's just how art works.
This is some Paper Mario cursed chest vibes. I love it.
Because they have Air Conditioning.
The thing they should have had for the last 40 years. With record breaking heat year after year it should be hazard pay without ac
