    Labor is cheaper overseas. The Philippines, Indonesia, and Bangladesh have people working in what amount to little more than slave camps. Latin American governments struggle harder to keep their populations in line, as evidenced by socialist uprisings in Nicaragua, Cuba, Bolivia, and Venezuela.

      I think we’re in agreement. “Kamala leads a 4.5 gagillion dollars in private investment in central america” might as well read “American companies exploit central-American destabilization by securing their cheap labor”

      It’s not a policy we should be celebrating as a success.

      as evidenced by socialist uprisings in Nicaragua, Cuba, Bolivia, and Venezuela

      What a crazy coincidence that the policy in question specifically excluded Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela lol
