... and I thought she was going to lead the effort in encouraging all corrupt politicians that benefited from their political office in handing over some of the proceeds of their corruption to the hurricane relief effort! I was wrong again!
People are conflating climate change (which is a natural phenomenon based on Milankovitch's theory, with which I agree) with damage that occurs to the environment from deforestation, solid waste (plastics etc) and chemical waste. In reality, no matter what we do (and we should try to protect and preserve our environment and its ecosystems) if countries like China do not do what they should, our efforts will be the equivalent of pissing on an exploded oil rig to put the fire out!
This current crisis has exposed how ill prepared all branches of government were despite massive budgets. It also shows that we can no longer afford to allow inexperienced and incompetent people with no problem solving skills to hold high positions. Based on the governments poor response to this situation, if Nassau had been hit by this storm, the Bahamas as we know it would have ceased to exist.
Parliament writes the laws in this country. If government makes the necessary amendments to the so called squatters rights law, the courts will have no choice but to enforce it. The question is are they smart enough to do that!!!
For all the fancy talk, I bet if Ms Russell found a stranger had broken into her home and made a sandwich or took a bath, she would immediately call the police.
We are a country of laws and those laws apply to every class of persons ,illegals included!
