Who is the worst? DR. Why? Words explains thousands words, my friend.
Also, remember this. DR gave people $1500RD, ONE TIME. Thats it? No other help. Nada.
We got stimulus checks, more food stamp help, rent help, etc....
But DR doesn't do anything esp. one time $1500RD? You must be kidding me.

$1500 is absolutely not correct. Try Looking up FASE payments. Folks got those for months.
For those of you that support curfews I would really like to hear your thoughts on Colombia who had a 24/7 lock down from March - Sept. You could go out once a week based on the last number of your cedula, and yet they had a big spike in cases in July. I'm sure some will try to explain this away as people not adhering to the curfew but that would only prove your lack of knowledge regarding the police in Colombia compared to the D.R.
I left the D.R> because of the curfew and have been in Colombia for the last month+ on the coast and the curfew is midnight which has only effected me twice because of watching boxing and UFC in my favorite spot. My Colombian friends tell me that the Gov realized what they did, not only to businesses but to the population and that I don't need to worry about a return to those draconian measures. They have initiated some partial curfews in Medellin which were a bit harsher and over Carnival weekend in Barranquilla which has the largest Carnival in Colombia.
Even if this improved schedule goes into effect it is still too early for my likes, I'll be staying put here.
I hope for you guys that live there it is more than rumor.

Los pagos de FASE fue de 2500 pesos mensual depositado directamente en los cuentas de las personas.
It's 7500 for people who have been suspended, and 5000 for people who are still working, all paid directly into the employee's bank account. But the system doesn't work well, the only employees I know who have received it have been after their employer has made about 40 phone calls and 3 visits to TSS.
$7500 Pesos? That's not enough. They should had done $20,000 or so. That will be more than enough. When we had unemployment way back in the summer, I get $600/weekly and lasted me 55 weeks. Thats 50X more than the $7500RD.
That explains DR system is broken.
Why would I comment on Colombia when I live in 🇩🇴 ❓
I do not have an opinion on the curfews here one way or the other.
I am tired of them and I do not like what they are doing to businesses.
But I live here and follow the law.
And no one in DRGOV has asked my opinion.
As for asking for a comment:
I have friends that goto Colombia because of the curfew here in 🇩🇴.
Others come to 🇩🇴 and make it work for them.
Does not prove a thing other than we all have personal preferences.
And where would that money come from? Problem with giving people money without them earning it starts when you stop giving it.
And being the fact that last administration laundered so much money. If you haven't followed the news, the last president's immediate family took billions of pesos basically just because they were related. So the new administration earned a very broken country with all of that corruption. So I guess the majority should be happy they could get anything at all.
and they get away with it? thats blow to DR. If I was the new president, I would arrest all previous administration officials and put them in jail for life without parole. I will recoup all the money where they laundered and also sell all the properties they own. Hell with them. Then with that billions, they can pay 2x more for the FASE. Just sayin .....
That's exactly what he has been doing. The ex presidents brother is in prison. But the corruption is so systemic here and the government coffers so empty it is not easy.
The issue is going to go on for a long time as well. Because we were basically closed for months my business has run up a huge ITBIS and tax credit. So we won't be paying any taxes for most of 2021 at least. And so many other businesses are in the same position.
OFF TOPIC but I'll bite
Colombia has sh!t the bed and the DR is doing above average
COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country - Wikipedia

You can consult the link for all countries. There are "thousands" of other site if you don't like mine. None that I saw that refute my point or support yours. Suerte
wikipedia is garbage... and only reports what people edit it to say.. you really think China has had under 5k deaths from this?
