[00:03] now putting pressure on parliamentarians: the 6x1 work schedule. The proposed constitutional amendment that ends the 6x1 work schedule has reached the minimum number of signatures to begin processing in the Chamber of Deputies. This PEC already has [00:20] in the Chamber of Deputies. This PEC already has 134 signatures. She just posted on social media: "Thanks to the mobilization of society throughout Brazil, we have surpassed the 171 signatures [00:33] surpassed the 171 signatures needed to file the PEC against the 6x1 schedule." A farmer had a donkey that was very lazy. This donkey didn't like to work; it wasn't suitable as a [00:47] pack animal, nor as a vehicle for the farmer to get around. Until one day, that man had a brilliant idea: "I'll tie a carrot in front of this donkey's eyes, and this donkey will start walking." For the donkey, that [01:01] carrot that was placed in front of his eyes was very close, right? It even seemed possible to reach it, it seemed possible to hit it. So he continued walking and working for the farmer for his entire life. Now [01:15] let me ask you a question: what is your carrot? What is the impossible promise that was made to you and keeps you trapped there in your political system? Regarding the pet, I already know, at least I know what they did in 2024: the end of the [01:29] did in 2024: the end of the In 2024, politicians only talked about ending the 6-day-on, 1-day-off schedule. This [01:41] PEC (Proposed Constitutional Amendment) already has 134 signatures, but now nobody talks about it anymore. You see all the politicians silent, and saying "don't leave it for later," [01:53] right? Later we'll talk about what can't be left for later, which is the work absences due to the news that absences due to Burnout syndrome have increased by 1000% compared to 2014. Quote: "It is estimated that 40% of [02:07] economically active people suffer from Burnout," points out Alexandrina Meleiro, a National Association of Occupational Medicine. But you know what the funniest part about the 6-day-on, 1-day-off work schedule is? They've already brought this subject up for discussion 30 times, [02:23] actually, on average once a year, every year, in fact, the deputies appear saying they're going to end the 6-day-on, 1-day-off schedule. For one reason, nothing changes, why Daniel? Because promising the end of the 6-for-1 pay scale is a strategy, a strategy that the [02:37] deputies you chose use to make a fool of you. Oh Daniel, what do you mean? you will understand why the 6- for-1 pay scale is a dream that won't come true until at least 2050, why the 6- for-1 PEC is frozen in time, nobody [02:51] postpone it. You will also understand the spending thermometer of President Lula's wife, which is already at almost 70 million reais. But stay until the end of the video because today we are going to talk about the end of the [03:06] 6-for-1 pay scale, the deputies' carrot. On November 9, 2024, Deputy Hilton posted this tweet here: "End of the 6-for-1 pay scale. The PEC is [03:18] here: "End of the 6-for-1 pay scale. The PEC is advancing. Many people suffer or have suffered with this pay scale in Brazil. Rick has worked in a pharmacy, I have worked in a snack factory, and like the vast majority of people who..." Those who [03:30] worked or worked the 6-day on the 1-day off schedule, we agree it's inhumane, how beautiful, I almost cried. A promise is a debt, right? So Brazilians started demanding So Brazilians started demanding the end of the 6-day on the 1-day off schedule. Protesters [03:44] take to the streets for the end of the 6-day on the 1-day off schedule, says the news. Another news report says Avenida Paulista has demonstrations against the 6-day on the 1-day off schedule. Promise made, demonstrations, Brazilians in the streets. Brazil started dreaming, how beautiful, [03:59] everyone dreaming of the end of the 6-day on the 1-day off schedule, nobody was talking about any other subject. The people were putting a lot of pressure. And then on November 13, 2024, the news: PEC surpasses minimum number of signatures and can now proceed. [04:14] There are 194 parliamentarians who have given their approval to the processing of Erika Hilton's proposal. The congresswoman needed 171 signatories. My God, the dream will become reality. On November 13th, everyone was [04:27] talking about the end of the schedule. If there's a PEC, it will advance. My God, then on the 14th, which was the day after, it was Fantástico day. Everyone was thinking that Fantástico was going to talk about this, that... The PEC (Proposed Constitutional Amendment) can now be processed. And then the main topic on [04:41] Fantástico that day was Janja's religion. Next to Lula, Rosângela da Silva, who prefers to be called Janja, says, "Being linked to [04:54] an Afro-Brazilian religion only makes me proud," Janja affirms about religious intolerance. Ah, actually, people were making jokes about Janja, and we saw some jokes on the internet asking if Janja's religion [05:08] teaches lying. You know why? Because when Janja bypassed police rules to visit Lula in jail, she told the guard she was Lula's lawyer. On July 30, 2018, Janja visited Lula [05:23] presenting herself as a lawyer. Daniel, nobody wants to know if Janja lied. The police lied to the police to see Lula in jail when he was imprisoned, even though she's not even a lawyer, but an economics graduate, but she lied there. Nobody wants to [05:37] know about that. People want to know about the end of the 6-for-1 work schedule. Okay, then came the news discussion. Regarding the end of the 6-to-1 work schedule, it should be postponed until 2025, says Erica Hilton. The parliamentarian states her concern for small business owners [05:50] and is looking for the right moment for the bill's passage through the National Congress. Oh my God, she's will that moment be? I think never. Oh Daniel, there's no way it will never be. I trust Erica Hilton. Oh yes, you trust Erica Hilton, and you trusted her [06:05] the other 29 times, and the other 29 deputies promised you this. The news in Congress: 29 bills have already tried to reduce the Brazilian work week. tried to reduce the Brazilian work week. [06:22] collected all the signatures, but they didn't say, "It'll be postponed," like Erica Hilton did. No, they started the process, and most were shelved because nobody else talked about it like Erica Hilton is doing [06:35] you're saying isn't true, so read the news. Only in the read the news. Only in the 20th century, that is, from 2000 to 2024, the average is almost one such bill presented per year, 20 in [06:49] total. Okay, so our esteemed congresswoman Hilton tried to push through bill number 30, but she can't be considered the number 10 congresswoman who's trying to do this and leave it for later because [07:04] after collecting all the signatures she said she'd only talk about this subject again in 2025. Okay, Daniel, but she will come back because there are countries where the 6- day on, 1-day off work schedule is already illegal. Yes, you know which countries those are? Sweden, [07:19] Norway, and Denmark. Do you know how many inhabitants they have? Sweden has 10 Denmark each have 5 million inhabitants. In Brazil, the news is growing: the number of young people who don't study, don't [07:31] work, and don't look for work is increasing. The government, quote: "Brazil has 5.4 government, quote: "Brazil has 5.4 million young people between 14 and 24 years old in this situation." So if you add up the entire population of a country that has banned the [07:45] 6-day on, 1-day off work schedule, in Brazil we have more young people between 14 and 24 years old look for work. There's another difference there too. Besides, the governments of these three countries don't need to make their populations work in a system of [08:01] near-slavery to... Why fund politicians' privileges? Because Why fund politicians' privileges? Because Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are each governed by a king. In Sweden, we have King Charles X; in Norway, [08:14] King Harald V; in Denmark, King Frederik X. Wow, monarchy doesn't seem so bad now, does it? Because the people have to work to sustain the privileges of just one king. You don't need to work to support thousands of [08:29] politicians like in Brazil. News reports indicate that each Brazilian parliamentarian costs 5 million dollars, with 6 million, almost 7 million, that's about R$33 million per year. And guess who sustains that? The work schedule you work – a [08:43] 6-day work week, 1 day off. News reports indicate that each parliamentarian costs the public coffers 528 times the average Brazilian income. Research shows that in Brazil, we need to gather 528 head of cattle to support one [08:57] politician. That's one of the reasons it won't end. In a monarchy, it's not so expensive to maintain the king. In Brazil, you have to have privileges of the politicians you [09:10] elected. And there's another reason: Brazil, if you didn't know, is more broke than... Never. Oh, you understood? No, you don't. For those of you who don't understand politics, I'll explain it to you in the simplest way possible: there's a measure of poverty, and [09:23] that measure is called the price of the dollar. The higher the value of the dollar compared to the country's currency, the poorer it is. In Brazil, the dollar is R$ 6.30, almost R$7. So Brazil needs to work, and what does Brazil [09:38] work with, Daniel? I'll tell you what. First, the news from the United Nations: the world will need to produce 70% more food by 2050. Ono calculates that Brazil realized that the world will have to almost double its food production by 2050, [09:53] double its food production by 2050, and what did Brazil decide to do? CNN reports: Brazil has become the world's breadbasket and already leads world exports of seven foods, says BTG. (Quote from BTG) With a little over 200 million inhabitants, the [10:07] for the caloric needs of approximately 900 million people, The news continues: according to the bank's survey, Brazil has become the world's largest exporter of soybeans (56% [10:23] the world's largest exporter of soybeans (56% of total exports), corn (31%), coffee (27%), and of total exports), corn (31%), coffee (27%), and sugar (40%). 44% orange juice, 76% sugar (40%). 44% orange juice, 76% beef, 34% chicken, and 33%. [10:36] Furthermore, it is the second-largest seller of two other commodities: ethanol and cotton. And 50.8% of everything Brazil sells to the rest of the planet is agribusiness. In [10:48] other words, Brazil, to have money to pay bills and provide income for Brazilians, lives off agribusiness. The engine of the Brazilian economy is agribusiness. Now, with the dollar at R$7, do you think farmers will want to [11:01] sell the promised sirloin steak for $1 to Americans or will they want to sell it for R$ 100 to Brazilians? To compete with the Americans, you'll have to pay R$700 for your kilo of sirloin steak. It doesn't exactly work that way, but you understand one [11:15] of the reasons why the dollar is causing food shortages in your house, Daniel. Okay, I understand that the dollar is very high. I understand that Brazil is broke, and I understand that agribusiness is what is bringing money to the people. [11:29] What I don't understand is why the 6-for-1 work week will never end here in Brazil. I'll tell you. Of all the jobs that exist, the news reports that agribusiness generates 38% of jobs in Brazil. So, almost half of the [11:45] jobs are in agribusiness. You know where the working hours are also the longest? In agribusiness, according to CP, it's around 40.57 [11:57] hours per week, followed by 40.24 in industry, 39.29 in inputs, and 37.66 in agriculture. So, one of the biggest reasons this is [12:10] a lie is that agribusiness, which generates half of Brazil's jobs, almost always works a 6-hour work week. Oh Daniel, but then you just leave agribusiness alone to work 6 hours on, 1 hour off, and the rest of Brazil will [12:25] and the rest of Brazil will work on a 5-hour on, 2-hour off or 4-hour on, 3-hour off schedule. That's impossible! The news reports that economists say the problem is Erica Hilton's proposal to reduce working hours with the same salaries. [12:39] Daniel, I don't understand this news. I'll simplify it for you to understand where the problem is. Let's read the text against the C against the V of the other 29 texts that the congresswoman, Erica Hilton, put forward. There, quote Article 7: Normal working hours not [12:53] exceeding 8 hours per day and 36 hours per week, with a 4-day work week, allowing for time compensation and reduced working hours through a Collective Bargaining Agreement. To simplify, what we read is that [13:07] 36 hours of work is the maximum a worker can perform in the profession, and 4 working days are the maximum working days. Currently, 44 hours is the maximum, and six days are the maximum working days. What is the difference, Daniel? From 44 [13:23] hours, which is the current maximum, it will become 36 hours of work per week, and from six working days, which is the maximum, it will become 4 working days per week. Understood? Now we're going to do the calculation, which certainly none [13:38] do the calculation, which certainly none of the 29 deputies before Érica did, and and pasted the text of others, also didn't do this calculation. For those who like math, the editor left the calculation on the screen, but in the end, [13:53] the change is quite simple: For every four employees that companies have, they will have to hire one more employee to cover the hours. Less than two days, four fewer employees, increasing by one translates to a [14:08] 25% increase in the number of employees needed by all companies to remain open. Daniel, that's great, it will generate jobs. Yes, how many jobs will it generate? To find out how many jobs it will generate, let's start [14:22] with agribusiness, which is the engine of the economy. The news is that agribusiness employs 28.6 million people in the second quarter of the year. For every four employees, you'll need one more, right? So that's a 25% increase. Another [14:35] thing we need to know is how much money an agribusiness employee earns. The news says the average amount an agribusiness worker receives is R$ 2,248. So, Daniel, it's just a matter of applying [14:50] the 25% increase to the number of employees and multiplying that by the salary those employees will receive. Correct? Just one detail: employees who stay in the position for less than a year cost the [15:04] company 2.8 times their gross salary on their employment contract. A study by FGV shows that a worker with a salary of R$790 costs the industry R$2,000 monthly. To find out the cost of this change, you can't [15:19] just multiply by the salary because the worker costs three times their salary. So, to do the calculation, you ca n't simply increase the number of employees by 25% and say it will cost R$2,000 because the [15:34] employee receives R$2,000 in salary, but it costs the company three times what they earn. Daniel, why does it cost all this? Because here's the company's expense for workplace safety, the company's expense for staying open, the [15:47] company's expense for the employee's vehicle, the 20% INSS (social security), 1-3% for accident insurance, 2.5% for education salary, 20% corresponding to paid weekly rest, R$8.33 corresponding to the 13th salary, R$3.3 for the [16:04] corresponding to the 13th salary, R$3.3 for the S system (CEBRA, SENAI, SES), and 11% corresponding to vacation pay, considering one salary per year plus 1/3 bonus. But to be very precise in my calculation, I'll use the number from the news article, which is that the [16:17] number from the news article, which is that the employee costs 2.8 times what they earn, so 28.6 Millions of employees, a 25% increase. We need to hire 7,500,000 more employees, and they will receive a salary of [16:31] R$ 2,248 per month, but the cost to the company 2,248 per month, but the cost to the company will be 2.8 times more than that, that is, R$ 6,294.40 in costs just for [16:45] agribusiness. The calculation is simple: 7,150 employees pay R$ employees pay R$ 6,294.40 per month times 12 months per year, 6,294.40 per month times 12 months per year, totaling R$540 billion [17:01] in additional costs just for agribusiness to remain open with the same number of hours worked as they already do today. Daniel, but the farmers are very rich, they earn a lot of money. Do you know how much all the farmers in [17:16] Brazil earned in 2024? The news: Agribusiness GDP continues to fall in the second quarter, accumulating a decline of 3.5% in 2024. Based on this partial performance, the GDP of Brazilian agribusiness could reach R$2.5 [17:31] trillion in 2024. In 2024, the GDP was the total amount of money that agribusiness companies generated. So, all agribusiness companies together billed 2.5 trillion in [17:43] 2024. They will have expenses of 500 billion, enough to pay everyone and still have money left over. You just forgot about the 28,600,000 people who already work there, and we have to do the same calculation for those 28,600,000 employees. [17:58] Today, it will be 2 trillion 160 billion R$ 278 million 80,000 just to keep agribusiness open today. 2 trillion in sales, 2 trillion 1660 million in costs. Ah, you [18:12] understand, but there's still 440 billion left over, enough to hire more. Well, I haven't even calculated the cost of fertilizer, pesticides, feed for the cattle, the cost of seeds, the cost of planting, the cost of transportation, the cost of rent, the [18:26] cost of equipment, the cost of leasing, the cost of fuel storage, environmental licenses, livestock licenses, and so on. Okay Daniel, E1 to become a reality. No, mathematically it's possible by doing [18:41] something that makes people poorer. What do you mean, Daniel, make people poorer? That's called inflation. The day the six-to-one pay scale ends, companies, to stay open, will decide to raise prices. Businessmen will think, " [18:56] raise prices. Businessmen will think, " We made two and a half trillion, and now that the six-to-one pay scale is over, I 'll have to have 500 billion in additional costs." That is, my cost, which was 2 trillion 100, will go to 2 trillion 600. [19:12] loss of 100 billion reais? Mathematically, 0.5 trillion more in costs means 20% more cost on top of what I already make. So if I raise prices by 20%, I won't have a loss. But the [19:29] businessman thinks, "Well, I had to think about logistics, open positions, increase the number of employees I have by 25%, which will generate a cost of 500 billion, which will be 20% more than..." What I [19:42] already earn, if I raise the price by 20%, I will have worked and hired everyone here from 20 to 25%. Finally, the math adjusts. Business owners have to hire 25% more employees, so they [19:58] raise the price by 25%. Rice becomes more expensive, soybean oil becomes more expensive, meat becomes much more expensive. All companies in Brazil had to hire one more employee for every four they already had. Eating out became much more [20:12] expensive because, in addition to agribusiness increasing food prices, restaurants, fast food chains, and burger joints also had to increase their staff. Everyone raised prices to stay open. You just understood [20:26] mathematically what " potion" means and how Erik Hilton's project makes you poorer today. Okay, Daniel, I understand that it would be a disaster for Brazil if the six-to-one fare ended, but if they know that will [20:40] never happen, why did all the left-wing politicians talk about it all day long? And why did they make the same promise 30 times in a row, and every year they promise the same thing about ending the fare? A six-by-one scale, knowing [20:54] that this is impossible, is because while they point this carrot at you, they point this carrot at you, you won't look at the 1.5 billion reais that the Lula government spent on hotels and travel in just the first six [21:07] months of 2024, the highest spending in 10 years. While Rede Globo talks about While Rede Globo talks about Janja's religion, you don't realize that in the last two years of Lula's government they received R$77 million more in [21:20] commercials. If it weren't for this carrot from the deputies to distract the little donkeys that are the Brazilians, without paying attention to where... Maybe in the R$33.5 million that the government sent to pay for the Janja Palusa show, the [21:34] news that Taipu and Petrobras gave R$33.5 million to Janja Palusa and G20, other state-owned companies omit the values, or maybe you look, I don't know, at the 4... 000 that Janja [21:46] spent per hour since Lula was elected, or maybe you would look at Lula when he said he doesn't feel frustrated because he's poor. The ex-president's net worth is 7.4 million, a poor man whose wife spends 4,000 per hour [22:00] for 2 years, and the inauguration cocktail party alone cost 6.6 million. Really, very ugly to spend money on war while millions go hungry. I agree with you, Mr. Poor President Lula, except [22:13] with you, Mr. Poor President Lula, except that here in Brazil in 2024, hunger affects 8.4 million people, according to a UN study. Okay, it's ugly to spend money on war while millions go hungry, but is it beautiful for your wife alone to [22:28] spend R$4,000 per hour for 2 consecutive years while 8.5 million go hungry in Brazil more than your wife? Only you, sir. The news: Lula spent 65.9 million in 62 days of travel abroad in 2023 (quote) is as if the [22:43] $ million for Every day spent outside of Brazil, expenses don't include Fábi's flights. It's ugly to spend money on war while millions go hungry, but it's certainly wonderful to spend R$1 million per day for 60 days while 8.5 million [22:56] go hungry here in Brazil. While we're discussing the end of the 6:1 work schedule, the government is squandering the money it took from you in taxes. But rest assured, amidst all these lies and expenses, the [23:10] hour over there, and the president is spending R$1 million per day over there. In the midst of all this, the discussion about the 6:1 work schedule has been postponed to 2025, but in 2026 we same representatives you already voted for. Now, this way, we Brazilians will keep [23:27] this way, we Brazilians will keep the carrot in front of our dumb eyes. Thank you very much for your attention and until the next video.
