I dont know man. read the articles. they set up their friends with economic opportunities rather than provide resources to empower the locals. they refused input from locals and just did wtf they wanted.
ask michael davis, I dunno. I just said that it is understandable that it would look really bad if you actually lived there and everyone was like "here comes the americans and the clintons to save the day" and then after 3 years all that has occurred is a massive company town got built and nothing was in place to help the citizens.
maybe it wasnt clintons fault. the place was corrupt as hell. hell it proly wasnt her their fault. or no, it was their fault. they had the power and ability to do things right.
I dunno. I trust that michael davis is not some deplorable in disguise looking to undermine all liberal ideals like some of the clowns who come thru here (ahem hastendan) and his observational experience is meaningful in a way.
its a dumb derail and there is plenty of other stuff to talk about right now.
