This uprising of the poor has been witnessed throughout history when starving poor people reach the point where they see no other option, prices are increasing, the rich are getting richer and the ruling class is totally out of touch with the suffering of poor, partying while people starve. It has never been pretty, and the walls and security have never held up against the mass of zombies
Just think what happened here when people saw an unvaccinated person as a threat. Doctors openly stated that theyd let them die rather than treat them and families threatened their unvaccinated relatives. People lose their humanity very quickly when they believe their survival is threatened.
The urgent need is to stop the violence and feed the starving. But someone also needs to think longterm, because if in that process of aid corruption continues fuel is getting stored for the next fire.
Haiti needs transparent corruption free govt and aid. I'm not sure it's even possible. Leadership in these tropical nations appears to be a magnet for get rich by any means necessary flamboyant scammers. You only need about 10 to be involved, the rest just have to maintain silence for job security while the deals go through. Was the murder of the former PM and links to Haitian leadership ever resolved?
If Haiti sounds like future Bahamas it's because all the seeds are here.
I read the headline and thought, thank goodness they've stopped talking about the "*first Bahamian astronaut*"... unfortunately, the tricky word is in the article.
According to NASA's part of the criteria for that designation is : "**Aspiring astronauts must have a master's degree in addition to at least two years of relevant professional experience. Alternatively, they may complete at least 1,000 hours of PILOT-in-command time on a JET aircraft.**
At present **she will be the first Bahamian commercial passenger to space**. That either means she has enough money to pay for the privilege or some sponsor willing to pay for her. **Despite the hype of this trip, (i.e. William Shatner and Jeff Bezos went too) she is very accomplished and has several outstanding achievements over her career that surpass this.**
Two months ago it was reported locally that her company "won" a 9m contract with the govt. Actually reading the govt release, her company was one of 5 others chosen to BID on 9m dollars of contracts. Meaning, her company could win all 9.5m or it could win 0. The relevant words and sentences to comprehend are all in a google search
Let's use terms correctly. If she gains her pilot's license in future, she could indeed become the *first Bahamian astronaut*
I honestly dont get the "*return after 10 years*". It's the same as every other event, homecoming, regatta, etc etc it's the same food, same entertainment, same setup... the difference might be the streamers.
Wow. *"Will" get fooled again*. The vendors *cant open a store outside the port area without permission*. This does not sound like a company that wants visitors to venture outside the port area.

The root of this problem is corruption.
