“This” being the USAid page on Haiti.

USAid’s “vision for Haiti” has always been “stability”. The kind that lets Disney buy labor there for twelve cents an hour so they can make a markup of one thousand percent when they sell their Mickey Mouse footies here for twelve bucks.

Believe me, no one there will be exceptionally grateful except the slimeballs who contract the work orders for Hanes and J.C. Penney.
