We hear stories all the time, corruption in high office, corruption in parliament, corruption in contracts, police torture, abuse of women at the detention center, fraudulent identity documents, money paid to politicians under the table, politicians handing out contracts for votes, corruption in the courts.
And for years there've been people who tell us they will **not** say theres a problem, they will not link these things to their country's name, it's only a few bad apples, politicians arent corrupt, police arent corrupt, theres no corruption in the church...
Other than the 1970s and 1980s I cant think of another period when so much actual evidence has surfaced that something is systemically wrong. The Head of CDU charged with soliciting bribes based on voice tape evidence?? The head of the police airport division caught on camera negotiating deals to facilitate cocaine trafficking and naming a high ranking politician?? The PM saying, ~"*well they didnt say the politician actually received money, he just asked for it*". Multiple cases of fraudulent passports and voters cards, these didnt just happen and it's not only the five, it could be thousands.
**The problem **is** us. We're the police force, we're the politicians, we're the church pastors, and we are corrupt,** we're the immigration, customs, passport office workers. We believe someone should give us 20, 50, 100, 1000,000 dollars if they want us to do our job or some corrupted version of it. We believe 13 year old girls are fair game for 40 year old men, we believe every woman is available to us, we believe in victimization, we believe in bullying. Its us who rise to the top. **Broad is the way to destruction and MANY there be who find it**. I reject the **few** bad apples theory, my eyes and ears tell me, there are very few good apples and the bad apples are multiplying rapidly like a virus.
So when I see Chester Cooper talking about a black Bahamian team that will oversee safety of Musk's space "*garbage*" landing in Exuma, our most beautiful of waterways, and how great this is for tourism.... I know Musk will do whatever he wants and noone will interject, irrespective of safety concerns. Look at the Rubis "*we were bathing in toxic oil for months??*" in Old Trail. "*I could have lost my job if I spoke up*"... And the heralded Bahamian consultant they contracted, it sounds nice, but what skills are needed to oversee this operation, and does she have them, or is it all just nice sounding I worked at XYZ PR? Dont know the industry, dont know.
From what I see, the dangerous thing about Musk is he is silently removing people who hinder his business interests, irrespective of the downstream implications. To get blind sycophant support they call it, "*draining the swamp*: This is dangerous. We only need to look at the deep sea Titan explorer to see a similar tech forward, *ignore the pesky rules and protocols, get it out quick* innovator to see some of the darker implications. People died. And then all the experts spoke up post multi death, ~"*what he did was unsafe, protocols lengthen the process but there's a reason they're in place*"
**But I didn't "blame" Trump for the crash. Granted I made the assumption that people would understand the NTSB function and the implications of gutting the agency**
The NTSB are the people who do crash investigations. They use the findings of those investigations to adjust safety standards if necessary. If the entire staff are sent emails to resign telling them their service is no longer needed, **who will do the investigations? The 20yr olds from Musk's team? That would be a dark day for air safety**. The reference to "*the plane crash the next day*", was to say that it likely *woke* (ironic) them up to, *hey, we might actually need these skilled people*
Do you know who resigns first when everybody is asked to resign? The best people, not the worst and the lazy, because naturally the best have the best opportunity of immediate alternate employment.. That is the point.
Musk tried this same *fire everybody, costs are too high* at Twitter. Do you recall what happened in the early days of his takeover? Twitter suddenly and inexplicably started experiencing widespread outages. Who knew? The story now comes out that he ordered some servers shutdown without any kind of risk analysis and double whammy, he fired the people with skills and knowledge to adjust operations. Do you know what the ultimate solution was? He hired them back.
His strategy makes absolutely no sense. It makes no good business sense to intentionally cause months of chaos and instability to claim at the end of the day, months post chaos, look we're stable with less people.
I've met people who glory in "*getting lots of things done*" just to say "*look at all the things we've done*". It's never a good thing without proper context.
Well, we see what *Making America look great* looks like, basically taking away jobs from white middle class and working class people (oops we were targeting the gays, brown's and blacks), bumping up inflation through ill thought out tariffs thus making food more expensive , cutting programs that provide assistance to white working class families with disabled children (oops we were targeting gays, browns and blacks), firing the entire NTSB staff body responsible for keeping air traffic safe... but oops that plane crashed in Washington the next day so they may have had a come to Jesus moment...
"*there'll be a little pain*" he said..
Well if he does that to his red state, white supporters... I guess...
General comment, real estate is one of the most common methods of money laundering.
As a people we will applaude and worship anyone who has money. I'm sure if Hitler showed up he'd get the red carpet treatment if he offered 200 jobs... in a "factory" and gave out a few meals at Thanksgiving

That is the question. For a billion dollar research operation, cost of transport to from California is not a reason to move to Exuma.
