I think a good first step would be a reliable source of ... uh ... electricity. I read somewhere that digital stuff requires it. But whadda I know?

Bullshit, Part II:

Think this through: This guy claims the reason he was extending his stay was to remain close to his professor to plan for his graduate school semester, starting next year.

Now, if this guy can’t come up with $150 for a Bahamasair fare from FLL to NAS, how in bejeezus was he planning to fund a graduate school program at the University of Arkansas, in the United States? Was he hopin’ mummy could get a second job to pay those bills, too?

This whole story smells like a week-old grouper.

You were not facing a deadly global pandemic. This is a 24-year-old man who now has an (expensive) engineering degree from a major American university, and he is whining to his mummy who is whining to the newspaper over a lousy $150 Bahamasair ticket from FLL to Nassau? He’s now an engineer and he can’t figure any of this out?

Spare me. You make it sound like him and mummy are facing something disastrous, like cancer or a broken back. It’s a $150 airline ticket. This boy gonna ‘xpect mummy, or the newspaper, or the government to bail him out all his life? I’ll bet you he spent more than that on his last pair of Air Jordans.

I’d be so ashamed if I was 24 and still expected my mummy to work to pay my rent, pay my airfare, and wipe my runny nose.

Amen.

The government is not stopping anybody from worshipping. Any Christian who believes they need a big building and stained glass windows — or even a priest or a parking lot — to honor the Lord might wanna go back and reread the Gospel according to St. Matthew.

I suspect somebody gettin’ squirrely ‘cause they ain’t able to pass the collection plate.

... and a college education.

Why this story is bullshit: I went online and checked, The University of Arkansas shut down completely by March 13. The excuse that this man had to be physically near his professor, rather than returning to Nassau, is simply false. He could be in contact with his professor via computer, like every other student. This story is based on ... lies and nothing more.

He could fly home on a one way ticket.

Not so. The U.S. only flew home citizens who were stranded in places where commercial flights were no longer flying. That’s not the case here, as he now has a commercial option available.

You raised the analogy of “if Dorian2 hits”; I’m just saying your analogy does not apply here: you’re talking apples vs. oranges. Nor do the 6 wealthy Americans have anything to do with it — and, by the way, pay attention: they did not bring “test kits,” they brought “swabs,” which are nothing more than a Q-tip on a longer stick, which makes it even worse.

It still has nothing to do with a 24-year-old adult male who needs his mummy cryin’ for him. I’m sure his cell phone cost far more than his ticket home would.

“Ms. Moss” — under her fake name — said, “Don’t start something that you can’t finish.“ I agree with her on that: Don’t fly to the U.S. if you can’t afford to fly home. If there had been no Covid, would the government have been responsible for flying him home? Uh ... no.
