Default Re: Dole Drops Lawsuit Against 'Bananas!'

Curious, I watched the entire movie and must admit that I had no idea such animal-like treating had been going on in banana countries occupied by Dole company.
But in the end, they are neither first nor last big company to exploit the "poorer" countries of 3rd, 4th and other worlds.
It's just money. It's always been.
Ever since it was invented.

Well one day they won't be dependant on foreign money and will live happier lives.
They deserve it.
