... none of us can really do what we want at this time, people are dying. We just have to accept the realities of the day for what they are. The level of testing and transparency concerning testing here is far below what is acceptable. Community spread cannot be accurately quantified and so it is possible that those who are unable to travel here may have just saved their lives!
When things get back to normal we can all travel as much as we want!
This guy writes like a self absorbed child who cannot have their way and does not grasp the risks associated with a particular course of action during a global pandemic that is killing people!!
Of course the government could have been smarter in decision making, but my expectations of them are not very high!
Just realized this announcement was a red herring to hide the fact that they have wasted money buying cars in this economy! This kind of deception is a new low!
... those boat captains who smuggle Haitians seem to do a good job, but they almost never seem to be able to catch them! That alone should make them hirable for the RBDF.
What's the point of becoming a republic, a pig in a dress is still a pig! Until we accept that all political systems are man made and therefore subject to being corrupted for the benefit of a few very little will change. What we need are leaders who actually have character, integrity and the national interest at heart not merely those who project the image that they do!
"Nearby, a new shanty town is growing, this time with solid concrete block homes and modern metal roofs. No one seems to know what to do about what they call “the problem", meaning **poor people of diverse backgrounds, including Haitian, essential to the work force,** but now homeless after Dorian swept out to sea the former shanty towns where they lived and where their micro-businesses flourished."
Very politically correct isn't she! What we need is a policy of no tolerance of illegality or criminality on that island!
@Chucky ... how did our existence or life itself come about if not by creation? Believing in macro-evolution is the equivalent of believing in the statistical likelihood of a loaf of bread gradually developing on its own if all ingredients are present for a long enough period of time!
BTW what does your statement have to do with advancing as a nation? If I remember correctly this nation was much better off when people practiced the beliefs of the "supreme being". People had more character and we had stronger communities!!
