1. The worker in the video had a point. He said Haiti's sweatshops. producing clothing
at phenomenally cheap prices helps the U.S., but not Haitians.

It's not a help when all they can earn is enough to cover their transportation back and forth from work, and some food.

What a shame greed finds a way to rationalize exploitation of so many helpless people trapped in poverty all over the world. I hope the people involved will have to meet the consequences one day for the suffering they've caused to others.

So thoughtful of the people with Hillary to translate her "pep talk" into another language not spoken by the workers. That must have really impressed them.

One look at those faces tells me all I need to know about how life is treating them. Why can't people like Hillary and the International Republican Institute pigs who crawl all over the island trying to find new ways to put the screws to them even take the time to be human, and look at their misery, and FEEL for once in their life, just the way a human being would, seeing suffering. Good people would look for better answers than stuffing the pockets even fuller of the scum living off the energy, and helplessness, the desperation of the poor.
