This was a quote on CNN after reporting on the the flooding and its comparison to Haiti. Would you say this is an accurate statement.
"....The Dominican Republic, a country of 8.5 million people, is more prosperous with a number of luxury tourist destinations, but still has pockets of poverty."
Do you think the reporter is being nice, uninformed or what.
I would not call it pockets of poverty. I would think its worse than that, but I could be uninformed as well, but I'm going by observation and the nations national average income.
