I concur.

I usually agree with blaming the parents but in this case I can't.
A kids anger issue is something that I dealt with personally as a kid and it had nothing to do with the home - normal two parent home, parental love and all that.
For me it wasn't even puberty - it was earlier than that - I just had uncontrollable rage which unleashed itself under fairly specific circumstances. I would literally black out (not in the sense of passing out) and come too in the act of complete rage. Thankfully I never had a stick or rock in my hand at the time, but I remember the look of terror of the people around me when i came too, and I was horrified that I could have killed someone in those few moments of lost time.
After literally trying to attack my sister through my father I decided myself that I needed to get this under control before I seriously harmed someone (and most likely myself, because I was a tiny child). It took a lot of introspective, which was hard at such a young age, and I finally figured out at what point in a conflict I had to walk away. At first conflicts ended with me just crying from extreme anger (which is better than fighting). But that was too embarrassing so I learned to walk away as soon as I even sensed a conflict in the making.
Even now I use the same technique because I know that rage is just below the surface.

Not going to happen. These guys are criminals at heart. If they can get away with something... they WILL do it.

My God! This dude has a seat in Parliament? I guess you just need to be popular but surely a basic education should also be required.

So I should trust the government with more of my money? ROFL!!!

I don't think there's enough freon in an AC unit to fill spaces that large. Maybe?
Also, the guests would probably complain about the A/C not cooling before all of the freon had escaped.

How can they not track money through the web shops? Sounds like there is no due diligence being done. Are web shops just a huge money laundering scheme with gaming as a side gig?

Just another big issue that no government cares to deal with. So again the laws are ignored by those in charge.
In our Bahamas all you have to do to get away with anything is to say you're poor. Sickening!

Can we please put this new pot of gold into a separate account so that we can see how it's spent/taken. I would say 10% every year should go towards creating our own monitoring station and the rest going directly to paying down our US$ debt. nothing else!!!!
Treat it as a new business with separate accounting and reporting requirements.
