All liberals are more than welcome to vacation in s—hole countries!
I vaguely recall a parody travel ad for Haiti on the National Lampoon comedy album RADIO DINNER.
That goes back to the 70s!
Yes, I’m OLD!
There is a small picnic area in Haiti carved out and maintained by (Evil) Cruise Ship Corporations purely out of a desire to help the Haitian people. Thy could very easily skip Haiti altogether but they don’t; they bring passengers there to help people.
Around the area, which is about a square mile, they have constructed a berm which is about fifty feet high. I asked the guide what was on the other side of the berm. He said “Men with machine guns ready to kill bandits who will run over the berm and rob and kill people if we didn’t have the men with machine guns there.”
Absolutely a wonderful place to live, if yer an intestinal parasite.
I really feel bad for the Haitian people, as they got fleeced by the Clinton Foundation, and after a horrible earthquake and multiple hurricanes they needed help. On top of that, they’ve had to deal with political corruption that is amongst the worst in the world. People are people, and children down there also suffer.
There are multiple ways Haiti could increase its socioeconomic status, and offer a much better life for their people. I know many very, very bright Haitians, and they go down to Haiti to help, but it’s a tough battle. It’s very hard to fight political corruption (as we are seeing in the US right now), but maybe one step would be for expatriated successful educated Haitians to run for political office in Haiti. That’s a lot to ask, however, for those who’ve built better lives for their families.
It IS a $hithole.
