Welcome to Jamaica where millions of tax payers dollars are laundered under the guise of developing the country. Where else could one say our money have gone?
Minimum wage doesn’t feed you for the week, ‘beautification’ cost nuff but look cheap and as soon as it rains the island literally begins to fall apart.

The hurricane that could have been.
May we be reminded that just last week, on September 18, 2022, the Jamaican Observer reports that Minister Everald Warmington (the minister responsible for works), refused to comment on the fixing of an impassable bridge in Troy, Manchester. His reason simply being that he “don’t need to give (you) no update at all” and he goes on the ask the concerned resident that recorded their conversation if “that is the only bridge in Jamaica that needs repair or replacement?”
We might have forgotten them in our own rush to prepare for the damage the storm would bring to us but let us think of our people now.
What will happen to the education of children who are literally cut off from the world? The people who have minimum access to health care?
In all parts of the country, roads and bridges are considered impassable to people who are still expected to show up to work. They are still expected to show up at school on time, get back home and past their exams. The Jamaican people are suffering in their own home and struggling with little to no help from the government and are still expected to remain in a country that does not look out for them. Den Jamaica a real place?
