After slamming into Haiti, where at least six people died in storm-related incidents
Slamming? a little over the top? the six people probably died from earth quake related issues, like my tent blew away with me in it or got washed away with me in it. Any idea where all the donated money went to relieve these poor bastards? Bubba? Bush sr? They are still running commercials for donations years later with a hollywood actress/actor begging for help.
A lot of the initial money went to building temporary shelters. For example , my company was involved in selling 3/4” plywood and metal roofing to building 4’x 8’ shacks. The plywood was for the floor. Can you imagine living in a shack the size of a sheet of plywood ?
Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphire. Their side of the island is almost completely deforested. They cut down all the trees to burn the wood to cook food.
The Dominican Republic has armed guards all along the border to keep the Haitians from flooding across. They have almost no infrastructure. Corruption is the standard. It is really a shame.
