Taran RampersadContext: Bodies are a problem here. Forensics is backed up, some families can't afford funerals, etc, etc.
And you need special dispensation for cremation, so...
Just another hidden problem of bureaucratic systems that aren't based on reality that get corrupted.

More fire across the valley. Seems systemic. 😐
When wet season starts, they will likely regret it and complain the government should be doing something to avoid landslides...
🙄
...According to reports, around 10.30 p.m., a group of approximately 12 men, armed with firearms, cutlasses and axes, boarded the vessel Sea Elizabeth II, which was moored alongside a barge near the Hyatt Regency Trinidad for repairs...
Not exactly the high seas, though. Must be the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' training program...
And the country is in a state of emergency, last I checked... 🤣
Meanwhile, in the Caribbean, the Cuban Nurses and Doctors...
Apparently, a few have signed on with the US and the price for that is not something they considered.
Trinidad and Tobago nurses have been on strike over backpay. (That is complicated beyond this context).
#trinidadAndTobago prime minister at it again.

Trinidad PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar escalates feud with Caribbean neighbors
Trinidad's Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is demanding the exit of CARICOM’s secretary-general Carla Barnett after her term ends in August. The demand came during an emergency meeting Friday, escalating tensions within the 15-member trade bloc. The conflict began last year when CARICOM members criticized U.S. military actions near Venezuela. Persad-Bissessar supports the U.S. stance against drug trafficking and organized crime. She criticized CARICOM’s alignment with Venezuela, calling it “zone of peace fakery.” Her campaign against Barnett follows a 2022 incident involving alleged police misconduct. Trinidad contributes significantly to CARICOM's budget, adding weight to her demands.
The outlier being removed (see original post).
Humans suck. Clearing land on a hill for either another house or short term crops.
And all as everyone looks away.

In #trinidadandtobago it *seems* true.
There are questions related to the pitch lake still that are seemingly being ignored. I don't know the truth of it.
#China and their soft power have always interested me. To think they are no longer projecting seems much.
So... interesting times.
Not a big fan of this shield of Americas stuff because of the individuals involved. Kidnapping people and blowing up small boats without real due process? No.
