Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

@xpinvestimentos Continua bastante instável. Finalmente consegui entrar na conta mas cai ao fim de uns segundos. Além disso perdi a janela de entrada em bolsa esta manhã...

[Valter Roldao @vrroldao]

@xpinvestimentos app e site inacessível... Someone needs to scale up infra!

[Valter Roldao @vrroldao]

@ClaroBrasil num processo de Kafka com vosso atendimento. Péssimo serviço. Até desligam telefone na cara

[Valter Roldao @vrroldao]

A pity they didn’t put it out before my laptop got stolen 😭 https://t.co/GHh7LKMpWz

Lisbon airport is hell these days. Still amazed with how such a small airport had almost as many passengers as the the Berlin airports... put together

[Alex Taussig @ataussig]

Lisbon = 50% cost of living of SF, but same quality of life. 👏

A ouvir Paulo Portas que veio à campanha do @_CDSPP dar o seu apoio. Pergunto-me, porque será que não vemos os ex-líderes do PS na respectiva campanha?

@mao_invisivel @sofiarocha Got you!

[Valter Roldao @vrroldao]

@mao_invisivel @sofiarocha prazo. Percebo que o governo do passos o tenha feito nesse momento, mas o continuar desse esforço trará consequências negativas muito para além dos comboios sem funcionar

[Valter Roldao @vrroldao]

@mao_invisivel @sofiarocha Não percebi o ponto... mas talvez estejamos a falar do mesmo. só quis dizer que, para manter o equilíbrio do défice se tem de escolher entre gastos produtivos (investimento) ou não produtivos (eg 35h). You can’t get both. Sendo que o não investimento tem consequências de longo...

@mao_invisivel @sofiarocha 35h ou investimento público. Investimento público vai para além do TGV. Manutenção e capex e sem manutenção/melhoramento... podemos falar em uns anos, ou podemos olhar pra a Venezuela como exemplo
