COVID in Jamaica, A Crisis of our own Making

Image
Over the past couple days, I have watching various members of the Government and public expressing shock and dismay at how indiscipline Jamaicans are but I am shocked that they are shocked. It must have been pretend shock because they cannot be that delusional and disconnected, living in their ivory towers. During the pandemic Jamaicans sit at home and watched the advance healthcare systems of some of the world’s most advance countries buckle under the pressures of the COVID pandemic. With eyes open wide, Jamaicans continue to act like idiots throwing caution to the wind and ignoring the danger facing them. Compared to the healthcare systems of first world countries, Jamaica’s healthcare system is backwards. Jamaica's healthcare system is not fit for purpose even in normal times, much less during a global pandemic. But we act as if we are above it all, immune to COVID, listening to an idiot like Buju, that fake ass rasta declaring: " Who fi dead ago dead and who nah go dead ha...

Jamaica Independence 2018 - Happy 56

August 6th 1962 Jamaica Independence 2018 - Happy 56 Year Old Jamaica! In the scheme of things and compare to other countries we are still in our infant stages. There are those among us who believe that Jamaica was a better place before Independence. There are those among us who believe that under crown Colonial life was far better compared to life since Independence. I am here to say that those among us who believe that life in Jamaica was much better under British rule, before Semi-Independence, when Jamaica was a full crown colony, are totally ignorant and delusional about life in Jamaica before Independence.  Perfectly brainwashed by our colonial masters, and their descendants who controlled the whip hand of life. In fact echoing the colonial master’s position that life was better under colonial rule and even during slavery is not wrong on the part of the Colonial Master because their life was perfect, top of the food chain living in luxury at the expense of the Black popu...

Comparing Jamaica to Singapore

Image
I always have a really good laugh whenever one of our bubble-headed technocrats compares Jamaica and Singapore. The confusion and the blame game as to why Jamaica is not as successful as Singapore is never ending because at one point in our history, Jamaica was economically ahead of Singapore.  This really had nothing to do with Jamaica but had more to do with Singapore’s history. One just need to look at the countries violent past to see where it is coming from. Then something changed - Singapore change because the people of Singapore realized that they needed to change. ONE of the world’s great economic success stories. Singapore owes much of its prosperity to a record of honest and pragmatic governments, create by the legacy of Lee Kuan Yew. When one look at the legacy of Lee Kuan Yew one clearly sees why Singapore was successful and Jamaica NOT. In the 1960s, Singapore was known for its opium dens, gang-ridden streets, fetid slums and racial tensions. Under Lee Kuan...
