So if the vendors wanted better security, why didn't they hire security? If they wanted their stalls be more secure, why didn't they make them more secure? If they were worried about items being stolen overnight, why did they leave items there overnight? At what point is everything "The Government's" fault?
What happened to the million dollars of video conferencing equipment that was installed in the courts and the prison to replace the silly bussing system? If that money was all embezzled, as likely happened, and no working system was ever available, why not simply send a single judge to the prison to hear these cases, instead of moving dozens of inmates? These are not complex problems to solve.
Absolutely. I don't shop online because it is cheaper, or because I want the headache of customs, and shipping, and tracking. I do it because most companies can't be bothered to put their products and prices online. Who wants to spend 20 minutes on hold trying to explain to a clerk what it is you are looking for, and waiting for them to go check if they have it. I sure as hell am not going to spend an hour in traffic just to wander around their store hoping they have the thing I need. CBS and Kellys get plenty of business from me since they are no longer operating as if it were 1962.
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?
