I wish the DR would stop pretending to be a nation and just let the good times roar. No precautions, no shutdowns, no restrictions. They act as if the population is paying attention. The DR ain't Sweden.

For every success, I'll bring you a 100 dead bodies, economically speaking. Every single Dominican and Foreign Piker and Peddler who saved up dollars in the US and Europe to exchange them for worthless pesos to build their villa or shopping center or purchase an apt. has immediately seen a loss...

Every Haitian movement internally and externally should demand that they be given immediately their citizenship papers. If we take your anecdotal and baseless claims as valid of an economy growing, then the massive Haitian population within the DR specifically those born on Dominican soil are...

Don't worry about the buildings going up. Worry about the destruction the peso wreaks on your dollars or other hard currencies. I don't buy the DR economic miracle story. But to each their own. If so, the millions of Haitians in the DR should be given their citizenship papers since the DR...

You proved my point so don't backpedal on this one. Only with your "special contacts" and mysterious "partnerships" can anyone make any money in that country. By your own words, you have made business success in the DR a mystical experience. Logistically speaking, the DR is a complete disaster...

Asking Dominicans to obey curfews is like asking a cat to do brain surgery. The gov't should give it up and let the economy open full swing.

Please explain? The origin of DR Spanish is Andalucia?

It might be in the RAE as a matter of academic intellectual discipline but I never heard a Spaniard in Spain using those words. If I did I'd start laughing at him or her immediately and ask where did they learn those words. How about conuco and huracan? Are they in the RAE? Spaniards view...

I've traveled to Spain and they never heard those words. What Spaniards do you know of are aware of those words? Only if Spaniards have been exposed to Dominicans would they know those words. As for Palla, that's not even Spanish. It's a word that earns the user low marks amongst those that...

In reference to the DR, that particular brand of Spanish contains indigenous Taino words such as bohio, conuco and huracan unknown to Spaniards in Spain. It contains Africanisms in terms of mode, tone, expression and delivery and the chopping up of Spanish words such as Para alla transformed...

Caribbean Spanish is so hard because it is not proper Spanish grammatically and linguistically speaking. It is a chopped up bastardization of a European language transformed into the necessities of a region. It contains comical colloquialisms, euphemisms, metaphors and sayings such "debajo de...

LOL!! The DR doesn't even have the resources to support itself. Yet, if each subsequent Dominican government continues preaching the gospel of prosperity, the international community will force the DR to keep Haiti afloat. The ones left to suffer the consequences of this institutional...

Agreed!! But the increase in the Haitian population represents an existential threat to Dominican sovereignty and culture and the people. They have annihilated their country economically and ecologically and will do the same to the DR. An impoverished country such as the DR can not support a...

I disagree completely. There are many Dominicans who will do the jobs that Haitians do at the low wages Haitians accept. In a country of 10 million plus, I guarantee you there are at least 1 million Dominicans who are unable to find work at any price and are borderline hungry practically...

I hope you are right because I have dozens of videos showing the Haitians doing what no nation would allow. Gangs of Haitians violently protesting in front of police stations, attacking police stations demanding that their criminal gang members be released. Haitians dealing drugs openly on the...
