I believe
Timbirland is already planning on moving its Puerto Rican manufacturing plant into a "world-class Dominican Republic-based facility." I'm quite certain DR-CAFTA influenced their decision, ..
Big deal !!!
Kill the agriculture to create some cheapo Zona Franca jobs that don?t even provide enough for eating every day !
DR-CAFTA is BAD for the nation.
I am just so amazed that no one seems to realise it... I read the dominican press everyday, and there?s absolutely not a single word of analyze. It is so cristal clear...
There must be so many huge interests among the folks in power, that they don?t let the word out about the IMMENSE CATASTROPHE that this so called "free trade agreement" would bring for the nation, and the whole island in general.
I can?t unserstand how suddenly every smart journalist forgot about the deadly effect that came after Hait opened wide its gate to the US rice !
And in that very case, Haiti and DR are so much alike, it?s obvious...
Now they want the dominican pharmaceuticals to die as well so we would all have to buy expensive US medecine !!!
At least Puerto Rico uses the US$, and Puerto Ricans have a US passport, so it?s fair enough for them...
But DR-CAFTA will just wipe the Dominican Republic that we know today, with its countryside, and campesinos, transforming it in a giant SLUM, with Uzis, AK-47, crack, and KIDNAPPINGS !!!
Big deal then to quote some cheap labor agreement with a textile manufacture...
-DR CAFTA postponement effects = GOOD !!! i hope it never comes into effect !!!
