If a high ranking politician is willing to make money off cocaine trafficking using police and govt planes, what wont he do?

Ive never seen a country that at a surface level projects law and order but is more willing to embrace criminals than ours. Rather than prosecuting these people the forestry department is making statements like ~*we're talking to see how we can make an industry of this*.

"*Stephen Wilson, Family Island administrator for North Abaco, said bushfires are not uncommon on the island. He explained that **some residents light small fires to produce coal, not realising how quickly they can spread**.*"
But today, with **no investigation**, the national security minister then police commissioner declare, "climate change"
"*warning that climate change has resulted in an early start to the fire season*"
"*This is something as the PM says is climate change, which we don't contribute to in a very large way but it affects us in a very big way in terms of storms and fires.*"
**Please establish a regime for monitoring activity in our forests. Please. Especially Athol Island. It also wont be climate change that's responsible for the removal of the barrier thats reported as protecting eastern new providence from storm surges. It will once again be a mysterious thing called "money to be made"**
"*Mr Campbell pointed to the recent reduction in grocery prices at Super Value, the country’s largest grocery chain, made possible by sourcing products from a wider range of suppliers. *"
According to a previous statement in this paper by a Trade Commission spokesman, **Supervalue did this on their own initiative. Why does the govt keep holding it up as something they accomplished?** Its insulting to the hard work of the Bahamians who actually had the idea, planned and executed it.
This "*they dont know what they're talking about and their details are wrong*" attitude from officials is complete nonsense. Of course we dont know. Because you havent told us anything. Why is a plan to modernize the parliamentary process cloaked in secrecy? And when something is cloaked in secrecy, everybody has a right to start wondering what is going on and to assume the worst. The Bahamian people are left to assume the worst on practically everything because govt has proven to be untrustworthy with our money and resources. Every five years someone reveals another shocking look what they did while in power novel.
"*For the Bahamian public, we are creating an any energy dossier that will break down and explain every part of this project we are creating that, this government that will be a communication piece, in layman’s term, for the main public to understand exactly what is transpiring*"
Pintard is correct, they are "planning as they go", what is the point of creating a "layman's" document for public review after the country is sold off for pittance? What would be the point of that? To keep the public in the load shedding dark?A100mil valuation and a 40% stake for the govt? I'd question competence as well.
I had to laugh. SpaceX came to the Bahamas and announced they were here to conduct a **full** recovery, they left a few days later saying, *we cant find nuttin.

Just this week I was driving past a police car parked "into the road" (because there's no offramp to speak of), when the door suddenly opened. I veered to the right slightly just to be cautious and predictably a police officer got out into oncoming traffic, my first thought was, if some poor driver had knocked that policeman down we would hear an account of what a wonderful officer he was and some admonishment about reckless drivers.
Pedestrians do not use the roads properly. Students are the worst offenders. They literally think it's a game. Some race to beat cars, some demonstrate bravado as if to say you better stop..and some cross like a herd of elephants....or maybe deer
And then you have the drivers who encourage them in foolishness by stopping at random places to let them cross, perpetrating the notion that drivers will always see them, will always stop or even be able to stop safely
Do something about the pedestrians. The police have tools so they say to catch drivers violating road rules.
Which of your children to you love the least and would be willing to let them die in hospital because Musk cut off funding for a research program, or subsidies for a given category of illness? How much pain are you willing to endure as you ask others to do so for this grand chaotic cause?
If you believe any of this has anything to do with helping anybody but Trump and Musk I have land to sell you next to the equinor spill.
If all we have to do is endure pain and disruption, why was Musk with Trump on the lawn of the White House trying to hawk Tesla cars? Is he immune to the endure pain mantra? And Trump.. have you noticed that everybody around him ends up in jail? I watch with amazement as in every single case of an independent authority claiming what **he** did caused massive disruption or was blatantly illegal, he says "*I had nothing to do with it, this was this other guys idea*", the latest being his claim that he never signed an order to deport immigrants in violation of a court order!!?? Claimed he didnt know when it was signed cause he didnt sign it. Someone dug up the order signed by him so the White House spokesman said he meant the signing in 1798!!! These are not the radical actions of a disruptor with conviction in any ideal.
It looks to me like Elon Musk is a person who has to be busy doing "something" all the time. It looks like he's not someone who could sit and meditate for a few minutes. It doesnt matter whether the thing is productive, or indeed destructive, the reward is the serotonin high of *busyness* itself. Trump is the evil twin who wants to be front and center of the news headlines as a "strongman" all the time, so if he has to stir up WWIII to do so, he will. One crisis cant simmer properly before he manufactures another. What a combo.
