investments aren't for the immediate they are for the future

What can they offer in the future?

We already have people trying to scare us because automation will make labor obsolete

if they wanted a fast injection of cash they could have basically low businesses tax set themselves up as a tax haven and build from there, take that money build good infrastrcture and hotels turn the country into a tourism hotspot

Not really, their instability makes them high risk, noonne is going to do high risk low return investments. The return has to offset the risk

which is why you're training their next generation of accountants, politician, police etc

the west does that for their countries in exchange they agree to certain terms like freeing up their markets and keeping the crime rate low as possible etc

this is long term investment

better to help them feed themselves than deal with them at your doorstep

Haiti doesnt need accountants and police. Copenhagen consensus already outlined their prioritize. And guess what, it needs immunizations, micronutrients, healthcare. Things that will take them a generation before making accountants

And 4 year election cycles have no interest in long term investments

you brought up Haiti I was keeping it general

Why general? Just creates room to hide from facts

Move the goalpost

because different countries have different needs

and "Etc" would include doctors

Maybe they don't need doctors, maybe they need population control

maybe they need llamas what ever they're in need for they could make an arrangement for in the terms, they need like a 1000 dentists they can the make a deal with say Germany to train some of their people in exchange for favourable trade agreements or whatever

What trade? They have nothing to trade

yet

hence it's an investment

it could be access to their ports

And once again, its a high risk investment with low return

And its a multigeneration investment which makes it unattractive to a democratic system

They'd have to get the support from a monarch or an authoritarian

more unattractive than taking on millions or migrants?

spending billions of aid and getting nothing back?

Taking on migrants does give you labor

it would seem not most of the migrants in Europe are unemployed

a lot are homeless

Because of european labor laws

and labour shortages aren't exactly hard to solve, Japan already has plans for their issues, temporary migrant labour

which could also work with my idea, they could take on workers temporarily as well

Which is what i said, your getting something in return

but that's not what most Western countries are doing

Here's the main thing, refugees should be resettled into countries that are most like the countries they are from.

There's a reason why people from the Dalai Lama's country went home.

assuming they're refugees in the first place

because they migrated to India not across the fucking world.

its one thing to live 8 hours away from your country, its something else entirely to be on a separate continent.

that's true
