Cool deal. It just seemed odd that Haiti got so much help while I don't ever recall hearing the DR being mentioned once on the news cycles. It kind of reminded me of Katrina and you didn't hear much of anything about Mississippi or shitville despite they got hit pretty damn hard (if not harder) than Louisiana

But between reading the histories of Haiti and seeing that the Dominican Republic seems to have their shit together. It would seem logical to put the Dominican and Haiti together and let the Dominican run them and see how they work out.
