I am blessed. I live in the East, currently in one of those 'important' areas. It is an area that didn't flood because our roads have drainage that actually works. Our trees didn't blow down because the wind wasn't that...

kay lar @jaylar (3735) • Kingston, Jamaica 15 Oct

Trade with the U.S.

kay lar @jaylar (3735) • Kingston, Jamaica 7 Sep

Many years ago, my country used to take 'String Loans' from America. This meant we had to use the money to buy American goods. This was the stupidest thing I ever heard and I spoke of it, often in language NSFA. Can you imagine...

We didn't want him here. We stayed quiet, no demonstrations. We were expecting the usual boasts, threats, and other crap Americans are known for. Instead, Rubio came across like a sugar puppy, acting so nice and...

Living in a Kakistocracy

kay lar @jaylar (3735) • Kingston, Jamaica 30 Aug 24

In most countries there is some kind of obligation those who hold office have for the citizens. Not in the Kakistocracy of Jamaica. Politicians are in it for the money and power, and only care about the voters just before...

Free health care?

Rachel @rachelennia (211) • Montego Bay, Jamaica 3 Aug 20

Do you have free health care in the country you live? If so, where and how is the quality? Here in Jamaica we have it but where I was born in the US we don’t. I actually think the quality is pretty good considering it’s a 3rd...
