Haiti won its independence from France, but France extracted onerous reparation payments for many decades to come. This financial burden was partially responsible for Haiti’s long period of underdevelopment and poverty. The Haitian people are hard-working, resourceful and amazingly creative. I have two beautiful paintings from a Haitian artist displayed prominently in my living room.
When Hurricane Irma wrecked St. Martin, you could see the effort of the Dutch to rebuild the south side of the island and the French took practically no action.
The recovery has been slow, but it's great to see it finally improving six years later.

That doesn't surprise me.
