Enough about bugs..Lets talk about all this free labor...

The Human resource is perhaps the largest underutlized renewable resource in the world..IMHO

Incentives, non,incentives, counter productive policies, it is wide spread..

How can I feel good about (for instance) paying a man (or woman for that matter)....

Less than a living wage...It just cannot be done. What does it lead to...Bunch of thieves..ETC. I will not be at fault for being stolen from, if I can help it, just for the basics.

One friend, once told me, he had a horse, and tried to teach him to work and not eat...

The horse soon died..Never did learn.

How do YOU feel about this subject?

If you have some decent internet bandwidth, this is very interesting. From the author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman:

I'm afraid that it may get worse before it gets better JW.agreement ends on Jan. 1

It looks like the article

Submitted by marlies on 15 December, 2006 - 04:30.

It looks like the article was written in 2004. What ever happened?

I've been watching dates better but I missed that.

Submitted by Jack Davies on 15 December, 2006 - 04:57.

Where did you see the 2004 date Marlies? I just took another look and all I saw was Jan 1, no year anywhere.

It probably is an old article or you would think there would be reports in the local press.

The Fly-in Site

They do not sugar coat anything. Thanks for bringing them here Jack. I think it is a good place to go read about "the other side" of Nicaragua. They help promote mission oriented tourism which may not be as obvious as investment or eco....but essential. Anything helps so long as it doesn't exploit or displace. Balance.

If you go back to the index

If you go back to the index page... http://www.internationaljournalism.com

All of the articles are excellent.

You're right, I should have caught that.

http://www.internationaljournalism.com/2005index2.html shows that the Niacaragua Fly-In was in 2004.

I wonder if it did turn out as predicted.

that was....

a sad article.

I thought it was a wealth of information

Submitted by toms on 15 December, 2006 - 06:37.

Altho it sounded negitave, and I liked the part about the selfemployed being "Working under the table"

What it said to me was Nicaragua is going to have to get on the stick with its specitaly Items like Cigars, Coffee, seafood products, both wild caught and pond raised.

Nicaragua cannot compete in a Worker Bee situation, so we have to backup and go in another direction...IMHO

the human resource in Nicaragua

Submitted by rogertroll on 13 December, 2006 - 21:54.

is their biggest asset. They learn quick - they work hard and they should be awarded more money for their labour. I am not telling what I am paying, but I can tell this: I sleep at night. There is far to many companies coming in just harvesting the people here as a example I can tell you about a Zona Franca run by a Guatemalan/Korean outfit that pays 1.200CS a month, that is if you meet the quota, I am so mad at this people and their moral values that I can puke. How would we expect Nicaragua to prosper and grow ? with salaries that is less than cost of living, just BS if you ask me.

Am I right in my conversion?

Submitted by modhatter on 15 December, 2006 - 16:07.

Is that only $67 a month? That can't be right. How many CS to the US dollar?

the sad truth

Submitted by rogertroll on 17 December, 2006 - 11:32.

just very sad.

17.94 to the dollar

That is my point

Submitted by toms on 13 December, 2006 - 21:59.

Cost of living here is different than a fully devoloped country, but should be factored in...

The most dangerous man in the world, is a good upstanding man, whose family is starving.....
