It means that no matter how much you pay them and how much you love them - you may easily become the next "Cabarete Teacher" or " Lindsey". If you forget who is who in this country.
As long as local people is happy and satisfied with it - it is acceptable. At least when I lived in Greenville, Liberia, locals were very happy been paid $5/day.
And Dominican people are free to go on strike and demand whatever. $5 or $20 or $100/ hour. It is OK. In just 90 short minutes Spirit will bring me back to the beautiful South Florida.
I can give you a ride to the airport..

Is The Dominican Republic headed for a dictatorship?
I hope so.
Frankly even at 300 pesos a day you are paying too much for much of the domestic help that is available. On a global scale you cant get worse value for an employee than a lazy Dominican.
This gets us back to the need for a strong hand. Pinochet took care of business in Chile, many of my mom and dads friends speak of him in high esteem.
Both American teacher in Cabarete and Lindsey were VERY generous and loving to locals. Both were brutally murdered nevertheless.
A lot of people reading DR1 are very very very upset about Lindsay. Please don't throw her murder into your discussion to score points on this forum, it's incredibly insensitive. Out of respect for her it would also be nice if you could spell her name correctly.

On the other hand it is good for expats. Plenty of cheap labor. Desperate for ANY income at all.

I have found that many white Americans and Canadians take their racist, right wing, mussolini loving ways with them when they expatriate. Why is it that so many Spanish speaking countries, e.g. Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, and apparently the D.R. seem to harbor an overabundance of assholes from North America?
Well, this part of my research is done: I have found that among those who appreciate simpler ways of life, are those who wish they could oppress brown people like in the old days in the USA.
I got my first passport as a means to get away from the latter. Sad to know they are everywhere, spreading their biggotry.
Perhaps you should add some brain food in with your fruit and nuts. You must have an indoctrination degree from a liberal arts school. Your above statement shows you to be another indoctrinated progressive that is quite clueless about the " majority " of white Americans and Canadians that are expats. Racist people do not move to Brown or black population dominated countries. Give you head a shake, rfp is a non-white Dominican living in the USA. Certainly his opinions are extreme, but then yours seem to be as well.
