Remember how strikes and protest marches plagued us as recent as early 2023? Previously we heard daily of cor-ruption and another deceit due to importing medicines being injected or ingested by patients; and this because some devils in human form were making money on med-icine rackets. Even earlier we were in an auto-run government though our state continued to be democratic, socialistic, republic of – in which we suffered seeing open nepotism, corruption, extravagance and a vast presence of Chinese workers constructing huge structures the country did not need. All that seems to be of the past, for which so much thanks. While chaos reigns in some parts of the world we seem to be a green oasis of peace. We do have our troubles, economic mostly, but plus or minus the situation will continue to improve. Two concerns at the very top, with many below them are con-cerned about the country and its people and not themselves, which so far was the given, the attitude of those in power.
United States of America
That man Trump in the US is not Making America Great Again but di-minishing it and causing more damage, contributing to its down-grading. Wednesday April 3 the Island carried a report that the US was down in its tourist economy, fewer persons entering it with dollars to spend. Highest number of sightseeing visitors were from Canada and Europe. Plumented down solely be-cause of Trump's sheer buccaneering spirit. Definition justifies my use of the term: buccaneer “enjoys being involved in risky or even dishonest activities, espe-cially in order to make money”).
