"*in a battle for control of the crowdfunding platform.*"
I wonder what the dispute was about, but the fact that a financier is willing to battle in court says they see value in the platform. They do need to address some issues with education, they made a statement some time ago that they had issues collecting all the money pledged. I hear too many companies pitching investment like snake oil. (not that they did that) It's not for everybody
Ridiculous. They feed us this bait to fight over who we should send to eat at the table next. Meanwhile people using outdoor toilets and paying 1000 dollar electricity bills.This smacks of the same elitism as Sebas landing at the sports center to a crowd of cheering broke people, minimum wage bahamian oohing and ahhing at who was best dressed at the 50th balls while they on the outside peeping through the slots in the fence. Ridiculous. In 2 years we get to fight over the next highly favored.
In the irony of ironies I was speaking with someone overseas months ago about an activity I was involved in, they asked me is it "*safe*", my response was "*nowhere in this country is safe*. Crime is an equal opportunity offender, transformed by the lockdowns, its now a 24hr anywhere anytime business. We are in our own guerilla warfare
Haiti is essentially guerilla warfare. Life goes on, people go to jobs if they have them, but like every other warzone, nowhere is "*safe*", because noone knows where and when the next attack is coming or who is being targeted. Intelligence can help but it's not foolproof. Ask Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan. So think again, you're not sending anybody to somewhere "safe". Send them if they need to go and fully understand and prepare as best for the risks. And prepare to assist families in some meaningful way.
Human smuggling looks hot too. According to the anonymous source "*everybody on the island know*" and you can get up front financing for a boat if you "*want to get in the game*"
The point isnt who they are or that they are (though that is a point, we've made a mockery of governance), it's the musical chairs game they're playing to give friends of the party a pension. If govt should switch in 2026 they'll appoint a new one midterm they'll switch them near end of term. 2 more pensions. The country could be supporting pensions for 5 GG'S at one time. Ridiculous. I though they were retiring him for health reasons, but no. He gets a diplomatic posting so why are they retiring him?. While I think Smith is an appropriate choice for GG, I do not think Mother Pratt is, hopefully it's just a rumour.
This is ridiculous, what is this the retirement mecca for politicians? Choose someone with the necessary qualities who by the probabilities can serve for 10 years minimum. A 10 year term "might" begin to justify the pension
