Brazil AffTournament: USC | Round: 1 | Opponent: Immaculate Heart RR | Judge: Anthony Winchell AC v2PlanText: A just Brazil ought to recognize an unconditional right for workers to strike~1~ A" implies a singular government – common usage.Gorsuch, 20 (Neil Gorsuch, SCOTUS justice, 4-29-2020, accessed on 11-7-2021, Supreme Court of the United States, "Niz-Chavez v. Garland", https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/19-863'6jgm.pdf) D.Ying AND an indifference about whether notice should come all at once or by installment. ~2~ Prefer common usage.Gorsuch, 20 (Neil Gorsuch, SCOTUS justice, 4-29-2020, accessed on 11-7-2021, Supreme Court of the United States, "Niz-Chavez v. Garland", https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/19-863'6jgm.pdf) D.Ying AND are perhaps few better places to start than the rules governing their usage. Therefore, we must specify a single government that if just, ought to recognize a conditional right to strike.Adv 1 – bolsonaro~3~ Brazilians are mobilized, militarized and ready to strike against Bolsonaro – 2017 and 2019 proveAP 19 AND , Guedes said the country could go broke as early as next year. ~4~ Impeachment of Bolsonaro is essential and possible, but it will not happen in the squo, although it’s close and displays of "popular will and outrage" like general strikes and protests are key to ensure itKirby 6-4-21 AND place. But this is a real escalation of the threat against him." ~5~ Current general strikes get shut down by police instantly even if they are peaceful – a radical and obvious recognition of the right to strike is key to stop thisHoffmann 17 AND rally) and a rage so strong that it made some simply cry. ~6~ r2s supercharges Brazilian general strikes – empowers the labor movement by changing the power balance currently struck between workers and companiesGourevitch, PhD, 16 AND based on shared conceptions of justice and human need, not private agreement. ~7~ Bolsonaro will kill the Amazon through deforesting – now is the brink and the election failsWatts 7-14-21 AND is either the Amazon or Bolsonaro. There is no space for both. ~8~ Amazon destruction means extinction – 3 warrantsCo2 capture and o2 production AND , influencing the global carbon cycle and thus climate change," Lovejoy said. Adv 2 – inequality~11~ Inequality breeds instability and conflict and Brazil is the worst caseMaia and OI 19 AND , such as an unfair tax system or insufficient investments in social policies. ~12~ Income inequality undermines democracy making action on existential problems like climate change impossible- it’s the biggest global risk and the root cause of brazilian populism. The only way to ensure we don’t get a bolsonaro clone again is if we address the root causeLingis, PhD, 9-29-21 AND and others have argued that the growing economic inequality is also economically unsustainable. ~13~ The right to strike is crucial to stop decline of labor unions, the vital internal link to economic inequalityPope et al. 17 AND and confront the deep structural disabilities that impede unions from challenging corporate power. ~14~ Studies in brazil show that unions close the wage gapCampos and Moura PhDs 17 AND differential, to check to what extent it is linked to union status. ~15~ Income inequality is the source of Brazil’s failing economy – solvency is reverse causalBessarria et al 18 AND other factors become more relevant in explaining the economic growth of these states. ~16~ brazilian economic success solves everything – nuke war, climate change, development, poverty, diseasePascual, 07 (Carlos Pascual, Vice President and Director, Foreign Policy, The Brookings Institution, September 28, 2007) AND social agenda, so there is a strong com¬mon foundation to build upon. | 12/11/21 |

Covid AffTournament: Loyola | Round: 2 | Opponent: Perry JA | Judge: Dylan Jones Covid Aff1ACContention 1: Vaccine InequalityGlobal health inequality threatens progress in fight vs COVID-19 encouraging vaccine resistant mutationsFink 7-30-21 AND We can test for it and we can treat it," Ghebreyesus said. IP protections are the vital internal link to reduce vaccine inequality. Empirics disprove all pro patent argumentsKumar, PhD, 7-12-21 AND not expedient in a public health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. Contention 2: Great Power WarFailure to contain COVID-19 causes extinctionGuy R. McPherson, PhD, 20 ~PhD Range Science, Professor Emeritus, University of Arizona School of Natural Resources and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology~, "Will COVID-19 Trigger Extinction of All Life on Earth?" Eart and Envi Scie Res and Rev, Volume 3 Issue 2, 4-8-2020, https://opastonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/will-covid-19-trigger-extinction-of-all-life-on-earth-eesrr-20-.pdf AND that a microscopic virus could pull the trigger on our extinction ~15~. Continued COVID spread causes great power war and is the death knell of the LIO—diversion, nationalism, psychologyKitfield 20 AND dangerous period when cooler heads may not prevail among the great power leaders." Risk of U.S.-China nuclear escalation to total war is high – Chinese planners don’t believe nuclear weapons are usable and US decisionmakers are too confident in limited nuclear war.Fiona CUNNINGHAM Poli Sci @ GW AND Taylor FRAVEL Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science and Director of the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ’19 "Dangerous Confidence? Chinese Views on Nuclear Escalation" International Security 44 (2) p. EBSCO AND but it investigates only one of multiple pathways to nuclear escalation.~11~ Conention 3: WTO CollapseCOVID vaccine debate will kill the WTO- there are no alternate causes and solvency is reverse causalMeyer 6-18-21 AND all our ambassadors to the table to negotiate a text," she said. The WTO dampens US-China great power conflict which is crucial to solve a laundry list of existential threats. Cooperation on global vaccine distribution is a vital test caseShaffer, JD Stanford, 21 AND outcomes, such as to provide vaccines globally and to develop green technologies. The WTO reduces war through peace dividends, interdependence, and rule of lawBaldwin, PhD, and Nakotomi 15 AND only – example of a multilateral and nearuniversal framework of rules and law. The WTO is crucial to make global trade equitable and reduce povertyNarlikar, PhD, 18 AND lose for all, but particularly the poorest in developed and rising powers. Contention 4: SolvencyPlan: Member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines for COVID-19, as per the request by India and South Africa to the WTO.The plan creates a new goldilocks patent law that exempts pandemicsLindsey, JD Harvard, 21 AND up by blocking competitors and raising prices pushes in the completely wrong direction. Critics of the IP waiver are wrong- it’s the most effective way to combat covid inequality, alternatives failErfani et al, 21 AND other people’s" problem. It is not. It is our problem. Removing IP protections will increase production, diversify supply, and spur innovations that protect against future pandemicsHuman Rights Watch 6-3-21 https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/06/03/seven-reasons-eu-wrong-oppose-trips-waiver~~# AND and safety for vaccines, which have a very stringent process for approval. Waiving IPR is the vital internal link to equitable distribution- patents are a key deterrent to expanded manufacturing capabilitiesKang, PhD, et al., 7-14-21 AND fulfil this promise and, in so doing, to end the pandemic. FramingThe standard is preserving human life. Prefer –Reducing existential risks is the top priority in any coherent moral theoryPlummer, PhD, 15 AND be acting very wrongly." (From chapter 36 of On What Matters) Underview1. 1AR theory –A~ AFF gets it because otherwise the neg can engage in infinite abuse, making debate impossibleB~ Fairness and education are voters – debate’s a game that needs rules to evaluate it and it teaches portable skills that we use lifelongC~ Drop the debater – the short 1AR irreparably skewed from abuse on substance and time investment on theoryD~ 1AR theory first – it’s a bigger percentage of the 1AR than neg theory is of the 1NC which means the abuse was probably worse and only the 2NR has time to win multiple layers2. Apocalyptic images challenge dominant power structures by contesting the implausibility that inequitable structures can produce catastrophe – attempts to describe the world in its totality lock in the squo and close of revolutionary potentiality.Jessica Hurley 17, Assistant Professor in the Humanities at the University of Chicago, "Impossible Futures: Fictions of Risk in the Longue Durée", Duke University Press, https://read.dukeupress.edu/american-literature/article/89/4/761/132823/Impossible-Futures-Fictions-of-Risk-in-the-Longue AND of the Native nations who are most vulnerable to the site’s dangers.7 | 9/4/21 |
