I could not agree more about it. Costa Rica's banana industry is complex, with positive and negative factors. The positive factors were the economic development contributions to Costa Rica via infrastructure building and job creation, exploitative labor practices, and political influence. In contrast, the negative factors were environmental damage associated with large-scale banana plantations' recruitment of migrant workers under challenging circumstances. The cycle of history is rarely broken. The belief is that some lives are worth less and some territories easier to dominate. What we see today is not an ethical stance but a continuation of dominance.
