That's right, the minimum wage in Brazil is worth about 217 dollars a month, below the value of some things here in Brazil in dollars for comparison:
used popular car: 2000 dols = 8 minimum wages approximately
new popular car: 12000 dollars = 50 minimum wages approximately
small house: 24000 dollars = 100 minimum wages approximately
monthly basic food = 140 dol = 50% minimum wages approximately.
And here they still vote for liberal candidates haha
