      Haiti has an agricultural economy. Over half of the world’s vetiver oil (an essential oil used in high-end perfumes) comes from Haiti.

      It is always oil.

            I mean if it a situation where they could drink venezuela’s milk shake from over in Haiti I’d find it plausible.

            it is a funny joke, I’m just sadly focused on how fucked this country is, has been, and apparently will continue to be.
