Let's cut the crap. Haiti is a "developing country" like one of the Walking Dead is "getting better." Poor Haiti has been and probably will always be a doomed pest hole like most of the Third World.
I was down there ca 1952, courtesy of the USN. We were on maneuvers and pulled into Port-au-Prince for a day. I had mess cook duty then and part of my job was to unload our garbage to the bumboats alongside.
I was on a sub, so we were pretty close to the guys in the boats. Our "garbage" was actually fresh dish scrapings from a recent mess, no more than an hour old.
I remember that we had fried chicken, with desert being those slabs of multi-colored ice cream is a little waxed paper wrapper. I had just retrieved a bin that I had lowered into the boat and was lowering it below deck when a shipmate said, "Geez, will you look at that."
I glanced down and saw one guy pawing through the chicken bones, selecting one that had a scrap of meat on it and began chowing down. The other guy was busy licking those ice cream wrappers. As an 18-year-old brought up in NYC, I thought I had seen poor people, but this was a watershed for me.
Later on, when we were trading with the locals at the dock for hand-made cigar/cigarette boxes, I saw our electricians trading their ragged denims for some goods. Having their denims eaten up with battery acid, they always got a quarterly free allotment, and they were trading stuff off that looked like the only thing remaining was the waistband, inseams and cuffs - and getting trades for them. It was one Helluva education, which made this teen really appreciate what America had to offer.
