A Factory Grows in Haiti | The New York Times

[@josettel1514]

This truly errupts anger on the inside of me. My heart goes out to the farmers, this is a crime and yet these people are getting away with it. Total exploitation....

[@pamsing3012]

Don't you know those people were pushed off but that la n d came at a price. Now 3$ a day to work

[@summerbunny612]

Tax free, $3.75/ day, displacing farmers from arable lands, surely polluting the waters, flooding the town with thousands of people, and more--I'm just curious how this is a benefit again. Instead of a factory, why isn't Caracol becoming an eco-tourism landmark that can be an example of sustainable development?

[@gilgabe66]

It seems like you are more interested in selling your book! Having a great-grand mother imprisoned during the US occupation, a grand-father tortured under Magloire, a father arrested under Duvalier, & having to leave Haiti as a kid for our safety. Trust me you are so remotely in a position connected to Haiti as we are as an old Haitian family. Good to see that you read so many books but the parallels are non-existence. The Haitians' mind set follows its own course like no others. It's UNIQUE!

[@sergebaron9086]

when you are in a desperate situation you get play by the same country that played you before ,I don't know when Haitians going to learn? ????.

[@skydaddy5834]

Where is this now

[@peter-johndejong9880]

The biggest challenge in haiti is not poverty , or resources, or money, but the educational vitality of the human resources.

[@pamsing3012]

What is this suppose to mean.

[@markensleyR7475]

when are we truly gonna have a Real Government that's stand for his nation

[@elegantmarketer]

What is that korean flag doing there? They didn't mention it. I'm guessing it was one of the investors.

[@cvzdez]

why didn't they do this in port au prince ? has a city of people and they would have cleaned the land allin one and close to the port. No taxes I do not aggree on that at all

🖤👑🇭🇹

[@mrbeenfils9220]

Too many organizations in Haiti 🇭🇹 all they do is giving aid but look where they put the Haitian nation now more than 50years help look at the country now

[@beenn15]

you don't know much about investments... Haiti needs to attract foreign investors. They can charge a tax later when they have some bargaining power. Now, those who invest are simply doing Haiti a favor, albeit a very profitable one.

[@Towoawawabo8]

That's what they did with some of the money..took their lands too

[@marieassouman645]

According to the Constitution outsiders should even allow to purchase land there. Tic tac Esau Yah is sending our rescuer Yahawashi can you dig it.

Revolution (political, cultural, or socio-economic) does not bring any destruction. Revolution, if political, is only a radical and thourough change of a nation's political structure. Very often, it is accompanied by violence that is because the ruling class elite / bourgeoisie is resisting the changes when the time has come for the changes to occur. I am not talking about eliminating anybody in my book. You are speculating about my vision and my intentions. The peasantry has been the nation.

[@semmanuel12]

3 dollars and 70 cents a day actually.

[@oopshilarious35]

I thought he said $3.75 an hr....but he said a day

[@gilgabe66]

I advise you to take a trip down to Haiti. Go observe & study the political scenes in Haiti then try to write a book about it. Trust me, you wouldn't see any parallels to all the books you have read. Haitians have not been tamed yet as a people. There are so many elements that make up a Haitian even Haitians themselves don't quite understand them yet. We are a living history; such an oxymoron! Indeed we seem to be this people who are constantly redefining the laws of reality to its purest form.

[@reginaldfrancois4244]

because they want to decentralized

[@pamsing3012]

Even in America its happen like this. Love to know why

[@2friendly2u]

he was being sarcastic

[@blondyjean8583]

[@reginaldfrancois4244]

no tax

[@cvzdez]

what is the paying wage! tax free no

[@rubenstitus7273]

Of course I am interested in selling books, just like any other authors. But I have a different message, a new vision for Haiti. No nation is totally good or totally bad; no people is totally good or totally bad. Look at the atrocities the Germans did in the 1940s not to mention those of the Japanese against the Chinese during the period. And those were litterate and educated people. Go figure! I have been to Haiti quite often and the Haitian people just need to be indoctrinated into democracy.

[@banajikakad9907]

youtube good web

[@davidsejour4718]

Thank you the Clinton family for this poison gift . Why chose this part to make the parc ?

[@jubilee203]

Any place in the world has historical value. Haitians need jobs so people can pay taxes thus for more things to be built. Stop complaining. All the industrialized countries went through the same phase. Korea and China are perfect example. When people are starving what's the value of historical monument. Those farmers barely cultivate enough to fee themselves.

[@sem2006fr]

really? they are doing Haiti a favor? Yeah, paying them 3.75/day while they will be making millions is definitely a favor. It's such a big favor that these people can't buy food, send their kids to school or even pay their rent while they work 12 or 16 hours/day 6 days/week at 3 bucks a day. God bless these investors, they are saving the Haitian people

[@gilgabe66]

You'll rather slave for the success of other countries rather than Haiti's but so many of you just don't see it that way. Go to DR & other islands & see how hard & in some cases inhumane they are making the Haitians work but they would rather stay there than moving back to Haiti & work the same ways. Millions of Chinese & Indians work nights & days so their countries could move forward MOST IMPORTANTLY SO THEIR CHILDREN & THEIR NEXT GENERATION COULD LIVE BETTER THAN THEM. Something so UNHAITIAN!

[@rubenstitus7273]

I fully support that you are investing in Northern Haiti and creating jobs for the impoverished people of Haiti. I am also creating jobs in Haiti by putting in place plan of actions to guide the Haitian diaspora how they can maco-economically manipulate the remittances they send to Haiti to support job creation at the national level. I am no fan of the NGOs either. Yes, revolution saves nation: the American revolutions (America has had at least two revolutions), Mexican revolution..all the rest.

[@rubenstitus7273]

Since you are throwing insults, this cannot be a fruitful conversation nor a knowledge sharing exchange. Haitian people or Chinese people, no people is born with a mentality; mentality is taught (John Locke 1690 Essay on the understanding of man). If the Haitian people is not hard working (I believe the Haitian works just as hard as any other people) then it will be indoctrinated in that mentality. That is all. Read the book; I cannot summarize 232 pages of hypotheses in a few lines on youtube.

[@MarioLopez-si8jb]

I read a few books myself and they're very helpful changing the mindset. How can contact you to read the kind of books you read?

[@rubenstitus7273]

Some of the world's greatest changes (revolution...) started out with talk or a book to be perfect exact. Let truthful information be submitted to a candid youtube user. Aristotle's Politics, John Locke's Essay on the understanding of man, Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, Montesquieu, Jean-Jacques Rousseau's On Social Contract, the American Federalist papers (lots of talk there by Alexander Hamilton and John Jay - doubt you can call their talks cheap). I dont have cheap talk; I invent solutions.

Yeah finish building your resort using the blood and sweats of my people, you time is coming take a good look at Relation 13:9-10
