“Karl Denninger, writing about this, turns around and criticizes Royal Caribbean for having a resort there surrounded by razor wire.”
I’ve been to Labadee a few times (while cruising RC). The island is a great stop for the day and it is really great to visit with the local vendors and buy their products (wood carvings, etc.). I remember one instance when some of the vendors expressed their gratitude for people like us stopping by. The business they conducted provided a means for them to feed their families.
I’m heading down there again in March and I plan to spend some money there again.
I sure hope that RC doesn’t cave to the idiot leftists on this one.
I don’t get Denninger sometimes. On some economic issues has has really good analyses, but then he goes and throws a populist comment like this, completely oblivious to the benefits of an enterprise like this.
I’m starting to think he is just opposed to anything “big” because he is “small.”
