There is a lot of rhetoric in this political season regarding the cultural differences between Americans and our international guests or “aspiring future Americans”. Like any time a large group migrates to America in search of better lives, they bring along their different languages, styles, dances, and cuisines.
We have a lot to learn from other countries, and it would be wise for us to heed those lessons in order that we may benefit from them. We are not without sin, and are amongst the highest carbon emissions nations in the world. Many people coming here come from places far lower in the carbon emissions front. Countries such as Haiti have barely any carbon footprint. So we should start asking: What are they doing to impact their carbon footprint?
We may scoff at the idea, but the Haitians are clearly doing something right. Often we are going to talk about their transport networks, greenifying their housing, or something like that. But Haiti barely has a transport network at all. But their housing is already made of recycled goods, which really helps to reduce their load on the environment. Open sewers are much less expensive to maintain, and if you can handle the smell, contribute to animal life which feeds off of it in a food chain that at some point ends up back in the stomachs of the respectful Haitian people.
But there is more! Perhaps their dancing and lack of modern conveniences makes them less needy too, where things like television and refrigeration are just nuisances that get in the way of everyday healthy activities like dancing. Dancing would probably ease the birth rate collapse if you know what I’m saying, perhaps a little less stiffness and a little more rhythm would help.
But now that I’ve mentioned refrigeration, what do Haitians do differently with their cuisine? We may too scoff at this idea, but why have a refrigerator to store meat when you can just have meat wandering around in public in the form of pets like cats and dogs? Rather than heading to an expensive carbon producer like a “Grocery Store”, or having to buy, maintain, and power a refrigerator with electricity, you can just pluck a plump cat or dog off the street (they would starve to death anyways, so no loss) and butcher them up for a nice Haitian Barbecue? With the delicious ethnic spices and seasonings you won’t realize that Fluffy or Fido was even missing. As they say in Haiti: Bon Appetit (they speak French in Haiti).
Frankly if we can get over and past this “love” (compulsion) of “pets” (slaves you gaslight), and consider the benefits (carbon offsets, reduced carbon, reduced animal starvation, reduced human starvation, reduced refrigerator production, reduced energy costs, cheap and accessible nutritious meat), then we can really synergize the Haitian experience with our own culture and launch into a new era of human civilization and prosperity. Think of all these benefits and I haven’t even touched the benefits of Voodoo yet.
Well, here is hoping people get the joke lol
Hilarious.
