Did I say you **cant** be in the room? The danger is being in there **alone**, you're then subject to your rose eyed glasses judgement. The second danger is exactly what I said *purchasing favour*, its the seed of unethical judgement. Who guh rat on the drug dealer who buy all the kids Xboxes and bicycles for christmas?
The first rule was broken, the PM should never be in a position where he is in the room alone with an investor, financier, good samaritan whether in person or virtual.
These men and women need year round training on ethical standards with real life example of why something like accepting a watch from someone who's submitting a residency application to you is unethical. Basically what they're doing is "buying" you *favour*, in any decisions to follow your judgement will be clouded by the favour already bought. I mean it was a really nice Rolex that you're proud to show to your buddies on the golf course
Christina Rolle also fell into this trap shovelling dirt at the ground breaking for the organization she would hav ed to oversee. "*Favour bought.*"
One thing that's clear in all of this is that theres a pot of gold inside the house of parliament and everybody is desperately scrambling to get inside to get their hands on it. They're certainly not "*fighting like dogs*" to help any of us
They tore down the one they had permission to tear down. The problem isnt so much the quality of the illehal structure but whether there is objective evidence the occupants were given sufficient warning of pending demolition. The key word being "objective".
"*if there is peace, it can be good for everyone.*"
Unfortunately there will never be peace. Its an unsolveable problem. Neither side for their own reasons wants to give up the land thats the source of the contention.
In the bible there's a phrase thats repeated over and over and over again, "*they have hurt the heart of my daughter saying peace peace when there is no peace*". Perhaps on the surface detailing the situation today, people thinking themselves past the conflict only to be jolted one day by the sound of gun fire, rockets and wailing as more children die in the name of peace
"*Mr Lashley explained that the Central Bank has seen a “gradual uptick” in the amount of Sand Dollar customers,*"
This is bad interpretation. What's really happening is the Central Bank is running an aggressive *install the app campaign* by, as stated previously, giving away money through radio contests. There is nothing wrong with that because the first and hardest step is to get someone to download install and register. What needs to be added to this data for a true picture of what is happening is, how many of those persons reload their accounts, use the funds and how long do they continue to reload with their own money. Forcing people to use the app through mandatory govt services is another bad ploy as we can see, immediately after the COVID *you have to take payment in Sand Dollars*, everybody stopped using it.
The whole thing was ill thought out by people who dont understand technology and simply jumped on the digital is the wave of the future bandwagon. You can easily tell them, look at anyone using the term "AI" as today's cureall, they generally dont know what they're talking about #bandwagon
