Haiti was the poorest nation on Earth anyway, a disaster couldn’t make it any worse and anything can make it better. Basically that makes this entire thread a waste of time.

Maybe.

But I still wanted to state what I thought Katrina “taught us”.

Haiti has been a disaster for decades! Money has been thrown at the problem but it just goes down a rat-hole.
Some African Countries are offering land to Haitians,
they should take the offer and migrate.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking - "Rising From the Ruins?" Folks, this is HAITI you're talking about. It has been a ruin for years. Any improvements in infrastructure quickly returned to Nature (as with our aid to them in the '20s and '30s - and ever since). What doesn't rot away from neglect is stolen by the corrupt elites. Combine that with voodoo tainting every religion and you have a recipe for a festering wound that will never heal.
