Do we know what the problem was?

*if they een gee yuh food you tink they guh gee yuh dirt?*" -wise elderly Bahamian

"*Guyana, the world’s fastest-growing economy, plans to use its newfound oil and gas wealth to fund investments in other sectors that will reduce its dependence on hydrocarbons, its president said.*"

*The government wants to use the revenues from its massive offshore oil deposits to finance investments in mining, tourism, agriculture and other sectors, President Mohamed Irfaan Ali said during a trip to the US.*" bloomberg.com

So they have a thriving industry that just started booming 5 years ago, their economy is projected to grow 47% but they're not hooting and hollering about how hot it is, theyre investigating ways to iinvest the money in other areas, diversify and protect their natural resources. **If** they do what they say, good for them, example of a thinking caribbean leadership.

"*.**government’s plan to** implement new legislation that will create a tax for sugar and excess salt as well as **try to eliminate trans fats being imported into the country***"

Seriously? After they approved iHop?

"*Health and Wellness Minister Dr Michael Darville unveiled the plans on Monday, but **could not give specifics** on what is being proposed*"

of course not, they read a social media post and reacted, how can you expect them to have a plan.. after 50 years?

They've deflected to a problem that they can appear to be addressing by organizing hasty blood drive events, meanwhile the real issue is not being addressed

**"*Blood supply problems*" seems like a straw man argument to me**. While a blood transfusion may have saved the young lady's life after she descended into a critical state and is certainly an issue that needs to be addressed, she was **allowed to descend** into that critical state **over the course of 4 months**. The full story of the last days of her life as detailed by her husband is a horror story of one medical blunder after the next. Mistakes can happen anywhere our priblem is when mistakes do happen we deflect, either there was no mistake or we project onto an issue unrelated to the root of the problem

**I think the need for blood was the result of a health challenge left unaddressed that turned into a crisis**. I dont think the full story is about the need for blood. **Listening to the husband there's a long list of places where they failed her BEFORE blood became an issue**. Did the doctor really say *after her social media post, he'd write her a discharge note before he'd write her a referral to a US hospital*? Who are these heartless people mascarading as caregivers like another one said some months ago *he'd let every unvaccinated patient die*

This is unimaginable. In recent years Ive lost elderly relatives and years later I am still wondering why they had to leave so soon. To lose someone you were lucky enough to find then fall in love with and just started a life with... I cant comprehend it. I dont want to comprehend it.

A week ago I posted this:

*This is a very interesting story reported on cnn.com. It sounds so familiar*

*By Tara Subramaniam and Vedika Sud, CNN Published 6:47 PM EST, Fri January 13, 2023 CNN — .**For YEARS, residents in the northern Indian city of Joshimath have complained to local officials** that their homes are sinking. **Now authorities are being forced to take action**, evacuating nearly 100 families in the last week and expediting the **arrival of experts to determine the cause.***

**Cracks** running through the city **are now so wide** that hundreds of homes are no longer habitable, and some fear that India could lose a key gateway to religious pilgrimages and tourist expeditions on nearby mountain trails.*

*Kwatra added that the natural factors which put Joshimath, home to around 25,000 people, at risk of sinking are “being exacerbated by large scale construction projects as well as climate induced flash floods and extreme rainfall*.”

***Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami visited the affected areas last saturday** inspecting the homes of residents who fear the structures may collapse."*"-cnn.com

*This is what we do with everything. Ignore it, scurry around when the problem becomes too big to ignore then some official shows up with cameras and a large entourage to walk around to see for themselves.. as if that does anything. The next update I expect to hear is the city gone and the officials have arrived with remediation equipment*

I'll try to think of a solution for an automated repost so I can click a button as every unaddressed decades long problem boils over again and again

True no report was ever given for Shenique Miller's sister

We need to identify causes. Maybe volunteers don't address the cause.
