Also as far as water distribution goes we have gotten the memo of water disruptions long time now actually for years. Water comes on for a few hours and goes off for days sometimes, meanwhile I have been to the laundromat at Humtoms Ghut above the Church and they have almost 24/7 access to water that I can u sweat and for the usiness but when their system is overflowing from 2-5A.M. that makes residents feel like they have an u fair advantage. So now to LIMIT the water further is almost very insulting especially when the mount of money being laundered around isn’t helping the country. Nanny Cay is one of the few places many people have been talking about with being a place where locals aren’t welcomed yet we should take a page from their book and have stations and plants in not only the 3rd district but every district needs a station of utility. Whether it be Water,Electricity or other things needed for basic living of a society.
I hear people both Older who have seen the prime of Government work and the youth speaking of nothing but not having anything fair come their way and then those in the middle are just surviving on hoping for change.
Yes, change cannot come without speaking and action but yet Action only comes (partially) because votes are needed and when the people speak it’s only for publicity purposes do the ears of Government representatives open.
If the colony cannot maintain its position currently it doesn’t matter how much or how long anyone shouts and protests for independence, because whether we want it or not, admit it or not, accept it or not, We cannot function without the British Empire and instead of fighting the hand that feeds, you (The 13 Representatives of the Virgin Islands) beg for food and when it is eat throw the plate at the person when you stomach’s are filled without appreciation or a thank you.
Yes, secure your futures but at some point things will take a turn for the worst. Either be the 13 that are hated because they get things done, or Do nothing and be loved by the “friends” you help now (until they finish leeching), I personally would rather the Govenor use colonial powers to get things DONE than to see another BRAND NEW government vehicle park outside a Bar or another District Representative take pictures and be apart of the community ONLY when they WANT something in return.
Seeing the good is hard when so much of the bad shows, want to be a tourist destination make this a place they’ll want to come again and again. Or even live if they are really in love with our country, take a page your own book. Take money from the funds and instead of fixing your houses and funding trips, fix the COUNTRY and FUND the people, then the people would then be willing to VOTE happily and Visitors wouldn’t be riding the safari’s confused seeing 2008 pictures compared to 2026 upheaval of roads and infrastructure.
