        Everybody's an asshole sometimes I guess. Depends on the situation.

        Damn I'm good at questions, I should be a search engine.

    That's a huge jump for them. Their work culture is brutal. Knew a guy who worked at a tourist resort and he worked three weeks straight with 15 hour shifts for one day off so he could take a vacation to Haiti with his family.

      Considering the circumstances nowadays, how's Haiti... and him.... seems like every little nook and cranny in that places is removed due to Western-backed compradors and western intervention...

        This was before things got really bad pre-pandemic. Before that it wasn't entirely unheard of for people with less money to have Haiti as a travel destination. It was a lot like Americans going to Canada or Mexico depending on how close they live to which border.

    Yes but capitalists are so addicted to control they choose it over even higher productivity.
