The USA is relatively safe and definitely wealthy when even inside the USA 'Brazil zones' where mostly black and latin gangs carry out warfare - most of those people would never spend a night in a 'Favela' in that kind of poverty. Shit, you gotta boil your fuckin water, no ESPN and who the fuck doesn't have one pair of new nikes at least?

but my understanding is that you go back far enough to the earlier days of the 'New World' and Brazil (and much of South America) was assumed to be the next big thing. So much so that one documentary says its why you see magnificent (but now crumbling) cathedrals in what are surprisingly shitty places. Its because the church itself also invested in the massive architecture and 'infrastructure' for the coming superpowers that would be Brazil, Mexico, and nope.

Do this:

You can only choose one country and you must live and work and raise your family there for the rest of your life. (so not just hold a passport). Nope, you are exiled to one country but the good news is you are a full citizen with all rights, opportunities, freedom of movement.

Brazil or USA?

Without even a microsecond of thought its obviously the USA. Its not even a debate or discussion in your mind. You'd even choose it if you knew you'd have to start out in Harlem or Detroit and work your way up. In a heartbeat without a doubt the USA is your choice.

Nope, you pick the real life situation today over real life Brazil in real life.
