That is exactly the problem. The idea is good, the implementation leave a lot to be desired. When was the last time you heard of a shooting at the cruise port? I'll wait.
This is why building codes require concrete firewalls between sections of wooden buildings. Surely these buildings were up to code, right? If not, how were they able to receive certificates of occupancy and business licenses?
So will this sit on the reef for a decade like the other one? I'm sure the owners will never be held accountable in any way, just like the other barge sitting on top of a reef in Abaco.
And how is it that the Defense Force, with all their fancy new boats, wasn't on the scene before all the looters?
Electric vehicles are amazing, and are absolutely the direction things are moving, particularly on our small island. The thing nobody seems to be talking about is how our power generation isn't going to be able to keep up. We already lose power dozen of times each summer due to supply shortfalls. Now we're going to add these cars to that same "grid"? Phenomenally bad idea.
Revoke their licenses. It is a very simple thing. Taxis are an antiquated relic of the past. Regularize the usage of ride sharing apps like Uber and Lyft, it would be a breath of fresh air, and move us forward from the 1970s.
Let me translate "We hate this thing that doesn't negatively impact us in any way because we are hateful closed minded bigots, pass the collection plate!"
This is sure to end well. But hey, everything is cyclical. Our politicians throughout the '80s were funded with drug money, then in the '00s it was pedo money from Nygard, and now it is ill-gotten gains from gambling.
