Jones Manoel stated that the end of the 6x1 shift had already been approved, with two days of rest per week and a workload of up to 40 hours, without salary reduction. He said that Flávio Bolsonaro had signaled to entrepreneurs that, if elected president, he would advocate for changes to this rule. According to Manoel, the proposal supported by Bolsonaro provides for contracts based on hours worked, which could reduce the remuneration of those who worked fewer hours and eliminate the right to proportional vacation and 13th salary. He added that the two days off would not be guaranteed. Manoel also accused Bolsonaro of governing for the rich and large companies and wanting to hand Brazil over to the United States. In the end, he urged workers to mobilize against the senator's candidacy and defend power in the hands of the workers. #Trabalhadores #DireitosTrabalhistas #Eleições2024 (translated)

Gabriel Sá wrote that Internacional lost to Mirassol and sank into the Z4, despite playing in an organized way. According to him, mistakes by Matheus Cunha and Felix Torres were decisive. Sá criticized the signing of both by Fabinho Soldado and claimed that executives considered professionals were accumulating mistakes, leaving debts, and then changing clubs. He added that the contracts he called absurd tied the institutions and left the fans to bear the consequences. #Futebol #Internacional #Mirassol (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca wrote that Tesla and SpaceX stocks fell after a measure against Ukraine was announced, despite the success that, according to him, Elon Musk's flying car presentation had. He suggested that the declines could also be due to other events. According to Montes de Oca, the Italian government halted negotiations to contract Starlink services for $1.63 billion, amidst the controversy over the reliability of the service and repeated threats and incidents of signal cuts in Ukraine. He also noted that Germany had accelerated the development of its own constellation of sovereign military satellites. He added that Valérie Hayer, president of Renew Europe, and Andrius Kubilius, EU defense commissioner, had advocated for the urgent need for a European alternative to Starlink. The author stated that Democratic and Republican senators had sent a letter to the Defense Department's inspector general demanding an urgent investigation into the restrictions imposed on the network. He said this could affect SpaceX's contracts with the U.S. government, which he estimated at $29.68 billion. Of that total, he indicated, $8.05 billion corresponded to new military contracts awarded and based on Starshield, the company's military division. Montes de Oca maintained that Musk's accusations against Donald Trump and Trump's response— where he denied being responsible and also said he didn't believe Musk was responsible— had harmed the conglomerate's reputation. He attributed the drop in SpaceX's stocks to a loss of $28.6 billion for Musk. He also estimated that Tesla's decline between October 13 and 16, 2026, had reduced its market capitalization by between $35 billion and $38 billion. To those losses, he added the revenues that, in his opinion, could cease to be obtained from the Italian contract and agreements with other countries interested in the system. Finally, he noted that it remained to be seen whether Musk would maintain a strategy that, as he wrote, imitated Trump's aggressive stance towards Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky, or if investor pressure would lead him to change his decision. He also stated that support for Vladimir Putin had a high and self-destructive cost. #Tesla #SpaceX #Ucrania (translated)

Alejandro Alvarez stated that a law passed assigned funds outside of the Financial Administration Law and that, therefore, Article 5 of the Budget Execution Law 24.629 should be applied. He explained that this regulation establishes that laws authorizing expenditures must expressly indicate how they will be financed; otherwise, their execution remains suspended until the allocations are incorporated into the national budget. He also noted that the regulation requires budgetary backing for certain contracts and provides for asset liability for officials who authorize acts or contracts contrary to Law 24.156. Alvarez asserted that, in his opinion, this was how the Republic was protected: by studying and complying with all laws. #Ley #Presupuesto #Gobierno (translated)

Marco Bello Jr. stated that the president of Corinthians, Osmar Stábile, and members of the Gaviões da Fiel leadership, including Alê and Fantasma, were in Brasília. According to what he gathered, Caixa Econômica Federal would make an important announcement that day and would sign a confidentiality agreement with the club regarding the negotiations, after which the amounts would remain confidential. Bello Jr. said he had spoken with representatives of the Public Ministry, who, according to him, stated that the agency could nullify the agreement or demand reimbursement from Caixa to Corinthians if the amounts charged were incorrect. He added that, at the very least, the penalty imposed would be incorrect and could amount to nearly R$ 200 million. He also mentioned Summary 286 of the Superior Court of Justice, according to which the renegotiation of a bank contract or acknowledgment of debt would not prevent the discussion of possible illegalities in previous contracts. #Corinthians #CaixaEconômica #TransaçõesFinanceiras (translated)

Jones Manoel stated, on Teacher's Day, that the date should also serve to demand better conditions for the category, of which he is a part as a historian. He said that fewer and fewer people wanted to work in education and attributed this to overload, low salaries, what he considered excessive targets, devaluation, and threats to the safety and integrity of professionals. Manoel stated that in 2027 he would be in Congress advocating for a 30-hour work week without a salary reduction, decent working conditions, career plans, physical and mental health and safety, more public competitions, and the end of precarious contracts. He also advocated for the repeal of the New Spending Cap and all austerity policies, saying that this was fundamental for the future of education and teachers in Brazil. He stated that he wanted to make teaching again a profession desired by young people and emphasized its importance for history, national memory, and the development of the country. #Educação #Professores #DiaDosProfessores (translated)
