Hu? I thought the excuse was we didn't have enough resources. Why waste resources on this? Let people say/write what they want.

I am living while I am living to the Father I will pray,

Only him know how we get through everyday,

With all the hike in the price,

Arm and leg we haffi pay,

While our leaders play

Buju Banton - Untold Stories

Things keep burning down while surrounded by water, I'm concerned about our ability to stop fires inland. Don't they have a truck or boat with a high-volume water pump to put out the fires with seawater?

The most likely 90% will go to politicians family and friends and 10% to the public so they appear legitimate.

True. However, children are taught to have blind faith and obey authority. Children should be taught to see the world for what it is and to stand up for what is right regardless of authority or laws which don't serve the best interest of the people.

The people behave in the way they're generally treated. Our government goes around the world begging. They sell the country to tourists and foreigners to create servant-type jobs. A job where we must feel grateful for the tourist who allows us to serve them and hope they give us a tip. We need an industry that creates jobs which promote competence, confidence and self-respect

What democracy? We have a merry-go-round of political elite oligarchs. Democracy is about the people having power. Our government has too much power over the people and they abuse it. They hand out the people's money to family and friends. They give a small percentage back to the people to buy their support. Our country is a joke, we need someone who respects the people.

These aren't stalls. These are illegal restaurants with no bathrooms or fire protection systems. It's a health and safety hazard. The government allows these government-subsidized businesses to renovate the government-funded structures into illegal restaurants. Meanwhile the private owners profit. If it burns down, no problem the government will pay the owners for losses and pay for the rebuild. Please don't spend taxpayers money on this.

I agree they shouldn't be settling on private property. The government and the private owners had over 20 years to stop this settlement. Before a generation's life was built around the settlement. My position is the government and private owner both have a greater responsibility for allowing this 20-year settlement. Otherwise, this will happen again. A new illegal settlement for the displaced. These new homeless will need a home.

I'm not here to have a personal argument with you. Focus on the topic, not the individual.
