This article provides one more illustration of capitalist players acting like predators on others who are desperate due to a misfortune. Many of Haiti's population remain in dire conditions from their devastating earthquake of 2010.

The author provides all the depressing details.
The international community is not helping rebuild Haiti. It is improving colonialism in Haiti with its companies, using the country’s population as slave labor to boost profits. The startling difference between the slow reconstruction efforts for Haitians as opposed to the rapid rise of the luxury hotel industry shows that in Haiti, the foreigners come first. Sadly white supremacy and slavery are still alive and well in the “pearl of the Antilles”.
