The reality is the islands are dormant, some even foundering. Save for a few bright spots like fishing lodges or familiar boutique resorts, all administrations speak in glowing terms of "potential" while campaigning, only to see those words dissipate as they wrangle with their true capacity for leadership and innovation for 5 years. Time to take the bitter pill, better someone develops than noone. I would suggest an arrangement not unlike Providenciales where a local with ties to the land is inextricably bound to the project, and the lease released after 100 years.

He is of an entitled generation sold on the belief that 'murica is the greatest nation in the world, refusing to see the failings of their educational system and the fact that they are trillions in debt to China & Saudi Arabia. Heartland folks who have never traveled save the rarefied air of a Caribbean cruise. And barely speaking one language.
Rubbish, China contains thousands of manufacturers, many of which supply the finest precision machinery behind the world's best brands. A company builds to spec. If no spec is arranged, knockoffs abound for the silly consumer looking to buy something cheap. Stop this Trumpian ignorance.
This is definitely shoulder to the plough time. Armchair critics will need to shut it....same goes for those who delight in dispensing blame. This affects us all, I for one stand ready to do what I can when tasked.
The United States is following the same new case curve as Italy, offset about 7 days, 2600 new cases today, and total infections crossing through 9000. Why are US carriers and random private jets landing here without any protocol whatsoever. There's no point plugging 4 out of 5 holes in a boat and thinking you've done something.
