Golden Krust Owner Suicide

Again. Something not right here. Does this seem to be the woman that drove him to kill himself? Cant swear for anyone but, really? Then it was a few hundred thousand in tax debt? Then it was a few million? For a man already said to be worth US$70 mil.? A few disgruntled employees? Really?
The man had started moving Golden Krust to enter the huge African market. He would easily be worth more than US$100 mil. in a couple years. Guys like him have lawyers lining up to help him fight the Tax Feds. Any business owner knows that disgruntled employees grow like weeds in a large business. He would not have got to where he is without being able to deal with a couple of those. So why kill himself?
Was it fear that his name would be dragged through the mud by Uncle Sam? Many Jamaicans living in the US complain of being treated like third class citizens (1st. you're black, then you're a foreigner on top of it).
Is this what the land of milk and honey holds? When a man who had so much success is driven to this. What is the point of migrating?

Barbados Election and the Change Vote

The English speaking Caribbean is very similar culturally and politically among its member states. So when the old "politicos" see a country throw out one entire side of parliament (and the incumbents at that) they start looking around to see which country is next. The current opposition in Jamaica has formed government for so many years over the last generation that the JLP is still basically the opposition here. Notice how Andrew painted them as such in his recent speech, talking about their 22 years in power. If I was one of the experienced election watchers at Old Hope Road, I wouldn't be too happy to see the apple cart turned over in that violent fashion so close to home. -RG In response to: Attorney elected new leader of Barbados opposition party

Corruption and Growth

5 in 4 is dead. Crime and corrupyion robbing 'Prince Anju' of 3% to 5% growth every year. He knows he can't afford to lose that much longer if he wants another term. Somebody is going to jail. But who? Imagine the shock when they go to Anju to ask for protection and realize he will choose a second term over them in one second flat. Every time. -RG In respponse to: Brazil's Lula negotiating surrender — ally

Chinese Infrastructure Funding

We don't have any talk in that particular deal. The Chinese put up over $700 million in hard currency and we gave them less than $50 mil worth of land. The question is not this deal. The question is when they come to collect for all that they have given us, what will the price be? These are eastern cultures you're dealing with, they are very patient and think long term. By the time they come for the things, it will be to take what's theirs, not to ask for permission. -RG In response to: Thursday, May 11, 2017
