He finally realized 90% of the population can't afford the new stuff

yes. he finally realized that not everyone is his wife, who can spend 6 grand US on a hat. the guy lives in a fog. used clothes in the USA are of very good quality, because there are things in that country known as SEASONS. people do not wear the same rags all through the year. come October, the July stuff does not work, at least up North. so, you can get something that is almost new, for pennies on the dollar. i see folks selling sneakers that can almost pass for new, and they can be had for less than a half of the new price. but, what can you think of a guy who allows motorists to buy used tires, but wants to prevent used t shirts? looney? you bet.

the U,S,retailer lobbyists got this whole thing started. Buy NEW.

Hey Dread, the problem is that the used tires pay their taxes when they enter the country compare to the used cloths that are sent to Haitian as a humanitarian aids but instead of staying and give it to the poor haitian people, the haitian polictician sells it to Dominicans. Everything has to pay taxes. Or do you think that they are really concern about the public heealth no is about the taxes that the government doesn't get now with the used cloths. when buying new cloths you have to pay the taxes at the clothing stores.

To give the man some credit ,,I think that he realised that it was a bad decision rather than anything else

"I think that he realised that it was a bad decision rather than anything else


Could the USELESS METRO and denynig children the 4% for EDUCATION be next?

The dominican republic needs a better Border Patrol Administration , that's all. HOW HARD IS IT? There is no way that them haitians are selling THEIR own second hand clothing to the dominicans, i just don't see it. The one in charge of the border should be held accountable, if anything, the used clothing sales should be in the opposite direction..... UnFracking believable!!!!! Out in the open!!!

that might very well be so, bernies, but there are legitimate operators, such as MUN2, who follow the proper protocols. we know that the Haitian political directorate are bottom feeders, and their Dominican merchant counterparts are equally loathsome, but you cannot throw the baby out with the bath water.

I notice a lot of comments about taxing the used clothes coming from Haiti.
But what about the used items sent from the USA, England, Spain, Germany and other countries.
Should these items be taxed.
Items that is going to friends and family?
I understand the health concerns but how is taxation going to resolve that.
Someone commented before, this is all about money.
I don't believe for one minute it is concern for the people.
Ironically this nonsense comes at a time when people are trying to buy things for their children to return to school.
I suspect the clothing businesses want to eliminate any competition.
They put pressure on our weak officials and they fold like a wet noodle.
Once again the people get screwed.

The painful truth is this issue for several reasons, recognize that the population should be allowed to wear any old scrap sheets of hospitals shows a deterioration in the quality of life of the people who walks not in luxury vehicles such as the current staff, while in Bolivia and in many countries of America the ban here, however is allowed to violate several laws, 458-73, 8-90 of the Free Trade Zones and DR_CAFTA, something the president has authority to violate, however have constitutional duty to observe and enforce LAWS.
No developed country in Developing or allows the use of bales, also means a national security problem, because a thousand trucks that are imported are impossible to verify and have been detected repeatedly caches of drugs and weapons inside them. We believe that the Super Tucano aircraft not catch anything, then go elsewhere now .. THAT CAUSE THIS PENALTY AND SHAME.

My friend this not by choice but by NEED, maybe you guys don't have the need!

only in the DR Trinidadians will not be caught dead buying used clothes.

only in the DR? really? you need to read up, old chap. used clothing is big business in the USA these days. besides, if a guy buys a Brooks Brothers suit for 2 grand, and wears it once, do you believe that it should be thrown into the garbage? why? do you think that the world has limitless resources? ever heard of recycling? pride cometh before a fall.

That comes from asia filthy clothes and where you can imagine, visit a recycling plant in the Free Zone and the plague's in there you can not you imagine, not the off-season clothes in the U.S..



p'alante so let's not.Leonel 2016 y vitalicio...........................

Todo esto es para proteger al mercado de ropa nueva interno. Es igual que la protección de los vendedores de carros nuevos y la ley que tiene la R.D. que no se puede importar carros mas viejos de cinco años. Eso es solo proteccionismo. Proteger los intereses de la gente rica y de los negocios grandes, que muchas veces es sinónimo con el partido que esta en poder. Pero, como siempre en la R.D. se le manda medicina al paciente para tratar los síntomas y no para curar la enfermedad. Si los negocios de ropa nueva están malos es seña que no hay gente con dinero que la compre, o que los precios son tan altos por los impuestos de aduanas que tienen que eso resulta en tener que vender la ropa cara. Dudo que ningún gobierno de la Rep. Dom., alla o este tratando de verdad mejorar la vida a los dominicanos. Eso de la droga metida en pacas es solo una excusa, Y si encuentran drogas en un avion? No pueden aterrizar mas aviones en la R.D.? Ja,Ja,Ja. Es todo interes y proteccionismo.

Y esto son guandules.14 de nov 2008. ..SANTO DOMINGO.- La Dirección Nacional de Control de Drogas (DNCD) anunció el decomiso de dos pacas de marihuana, con peso aproximado de 26 libras, así como de dos paquetes de cocaína, estupefacientes ocupados en poder de una ciudadana haitiana y dos dominicanos, respectivamente. La marihuana fue ocupada en Santiago a la haitiana Ninina Luma, en un hecho en la que un tal sujeto Willy logró escapar de la Policía Nacional, institución que realizó el decomiso, mientras los dos paquetes de cocaína fue encontrada por la DNCD en poder de Marcos de Jesús Soto Ortiz, alias El Chato; y Danery Castillo.
El portavoz de la DNCD, Roberto Lebrón, dijo que miembros del Departamento de Delitos Monetarios de la Policía detuvieron a Luma en la Carretera que conduce al Distrito Municipal de Los Almácigos. La droga estaba escondida en pacas de ropa usada, conocida en la frontera dominico-haitiana como ‘pepé’. “no hay dudas de que introducida al país desde Haití"

Electricity and Lightbulb - History

Thomas Edison's greatest challenge was the development of a practical incandescent, electric light. Contrary to popular belief, he didn't "invent" the lightbulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1879, using lower current electricity, a small carbonized filament, and an improved vacuum inside the globe, he was able to produce a reliable, long-lasting source of light. The idea of electric lighting was not new, and a number of people had worked on, and even developed forms of electric lighting.
