Jamaica's Need

Jamaica is a wonderful country but is currently in a very bad shape as far as I am concerned. That is for citizens at least. If you have the money and time I will recommend anyone to make a trip down here and spend some time on the coast. Even do a road trip; that would be fun. Basically live the life of a Jamaican a little, the good life. But along with everything that is good you have the bad which we the citizens will always feel.

I am not inclined to what the Government do, but based on what I am seeing, the Government right now could not be described as a strong, proud Ox, to look at things figuratively. Instead the Government is like a snake, slithering across the island seeking out how best to poison its prey, slowly stripping them of all that they have. Then you have the monopolists in the country who are like reptiles none the less but worst. They are like Pythons or Anacondas which squeezes out everything you have. Enough of all the figurative speech however, let’s get down and dirty with the situation in my point of view.

I do not see what sense it makes for us as a people in Jamaica to be quarreling and fighting over which party should take over. Both sides are the same, except for how they waste our money. Well some may say, “Who is he to talking about money?” or “Who does he think he is?” but the fact of the matter is that anyone with an education can come in and realize that something is not right.

Then the monopolists have no heart at all. I mean, yes you are out to make a profit but it would be good to get one million (1,000,000) here or there than nothing at all. The way they treat people, they force some to start stealing. C&W was one of the biggest monopoly companies in Jamaica in the area of Telecommunication and is now known as LIME and they were hated. They were cruel when they charged for the service they offered and many persons suffered. Now they are feeling it and it will only get worst for them in Jamaica. Since Digicel came in less people felt the need to have a house phone and now Flow came in and is providing Landline, Cable (television) and Internet. Based on what I have seen many persons are just waiting for Flow to reach all over the island to put LIME in the sack. I will not bother to get into details with how JPS is being cruel to the people of Jamaica but let me just say, that every business has a time.

Jamaica needs improvement in many areas in the business sector. It is time for persons with creative ideas to come up and implement the ideas to make this country grow rather than being stagnant or regress. Although I used just one sentence to say that ideas should be implemented, it will not be easy but it will be worth a try. Other means of acquiring electricity needs to be considered. The Government needs to be watched keenly and look out for the people; as if there is no one around whom will they govern. The laws of the country need to be abided. Finally everyone should have the same goal to see Jamaica being able to provide a proper place to make the younger generation want to stay in the country. All of that is just a start and if considered will make this country a better one for those who live in it.
