Seems they are having riots in Haiti because the govt announced increased prices for gasoline and other energy. Which lets me know the main problem they have. Apparently govt controls a lot of prices and price controls lead to rationing and rationing leads to poverty which they have tons of in Haiti. Basically they are socialist which explains everything.

Freer markets through government intervention and picking favorites? That doesn’t make sense.

Then why’s he interfering in drug makers pricing with a tweet today?
Nice intermixing Rhetoric. We are talking trade with individual countries not making sure Elon Musk has infinity govt subsidy.
Tweets are not law, and Europe refuses to pay for research on new drugs.
