It is fulfilling its intended purpose. The lame thing about Rio is that it is the cosmopolitan microcosm of the brazilian civilization. That means it is corrupt, inefficient, dumb, but also fun.
Brazil only works on a completely different prerrogative from the rest of the West. They killed God for money, now they struggle with their civilization because they are not getting richer. We never traded God for money, we were always poor. Instead, we are ruled much alike the kingdoms of the ancient regimes, overruled by a tiny crowd who lives like kings in the Versailles that we must tolerate or die. The bargain of our civilization is not faustian, we still live much alike the romans of bread and circus.
But instead, Brazil is bunda and circus, which, as we have found, works much better.
