I don’t post as much or engage at all with certain people on this site anymore because I seriously don’t have time to respond to faux moralizing and dishonesty instead of real arguments where each side thinks critically and gets to learn something. I’d rather spend my time learning something new instead of hearing the same old same old because then I have to TALK about the same old same old. You can’t get to solutions when people still refuse to address the actual problems.

Information to dispute every word of the above 2 posts already exists in the other posts on this thread and the links in them, and I’m not going to retype them.

Except one point that I thought was obvious but apparently isn't to some: a decrease in production is wholly unnecessary for economic collapse of a system. The absence of economic/production growth to keep pace with other dependent growth=the collapsing of a system. For example, a stock market crash could be defined as an absence of expected growth (i.e. continued buying of stock) to keep pace with other factors, just like Haiti's food production and actual economic ability to import food couldn't keep up with population growth when the U.S. policy was to force cheap grain into their market, which in turn forced the unsustainable population growth.

The damage has already been done, of course, but the answer is not "more of the same" but rather more like giving very SHORT TERM food aid at the same time forgiving debts so the Haitian people can get their economy & ability to grow their food production back. Obviously, they can continue to import food if they want or need to, but it should be on THEIR terms. The point is to let them get to a place where they rebuild their economy without the burden of economic colonization. I think that's pretty much common sense.

And that's all I have to say, I've already made my case in previous posts.
