The national sport is the sport that underprivileged children play using improvised tools. In many cases it is the sport from which a country develops its sporting greats. Sports "Development" is another topic altogether. Sailing is a good sports development candidate. The question we have to ask is, as much as we tout how it's such a part of us, why don't we dominate in the world, with any adjective you want to put in front of it? And I mean that in a positive way. The answer to that is the path to development.

How does the price of shipping figure into the price at the pump? What percentage decrease should we see? (I saw that before this was as announced the US had started reporting a drop in the price of gasoline). It took local dealers ~1.5 months to increase prices, so by mid May prices should be going down

How many IDB funded projects have run with intelligent planning? Can we get a report of all the IDB loans, the objectives vs what was achieved? and spent

When you can report that corruption is eradicated, then you can give the govt 450m to create a sustainable city. Because every penny will disappear down the same black hole everything else went, then they'll report is 30% complete and we just need 700m more to finish

This does seem to be more about generating business than actually helping

They had a place. Political patronage and "*I know you's*", **most likely above Mrs Larson**, clearly spoiled what could have been a well organized program

Saying "*the data management was extremely poor and we can account for some but cant **fully** account for ALL the money*" is completely different from saying someone "tief"

Glad this story turned out the way it did.

Next time check the weather. I watch alot of smaller boats bouncing up and down catching air speeding through choppy water wondering which bounce will ultimately get the better the boat. If the weather is that bad, wait

Nobody said anybody was "tiefin".

Dont do that. I separate the good work the charities do from what happened here.

**They were set up to fail. A software contract was awarded specifically to capture the data related to clients and the distribution. That data management was key to the running of the program.**

But DAguilar found this firm to give the contract to from God knows where and the system consistently crashed and was then literally shut down. Almost a year(?) before the food program actually stopped. Its almost unbelievable. All of these questions about who got what and what went where was supposed to be answered by that system.

Remember when they had to bring Dahl Reghis back to fix the COVID data? This like that. I dont think that COVID data ever recovered fully, too much damage had been done

You can believe it was an accounting error. I do not. The weird thing is nobody has even given you the courtesy to explain to you what TYPE of account this money was put in that would justify a "reasonable" error or oversight, nobody has told you that their annual operating budget was 200 million so 2 million went unnoticed in the accounting. but you just "believe".

And you do realize this accumulation of money in the account went on for months? And nobody got a clue?? On either side? Neither the Task Force nor the NGO realized overpayments to the millions were being made?

I believe in Jesus. I dont need to see the wound in his side. But that's where my blind faith ends
