'killer robots'

We survived, that's the main thing. Love the line today 'how come the Aztecs looked at the multitude of eclipses without special glasses'. I think it is brilliant how we can predict down to the second what is going to happen. I truly marvel at science and technology not understanding 99% of it but still am amazed at what is happening.

I read where the head of Tesla is hoping that companies do not develop 'killer robots'. Imagine growing up reading Popular Mechanics and thinking that these people were crazy and now it is all coming together. There is a private island in the Caribbean that is converting all things power to solar. Every single item that requires electrical power will be supplied with energy from solar power. We still fighting up with what to do with an old, inefficient, broken oil refinery.

Imagine ' killer robots' are being talked about and we cannot get a ferry service to operate between two islands. The emergency meeting that took 10 days to put together started 45 mins late. You know me and late do not agree at anytime for any reason, PMOTT or not. I have tried to get some idea of what went on in the meeting and it would seem that excuses were the order of the day and that finally the PMOTT has figured out that all was not well with the tendering procedure for this new ferry contract. Well, blow me down, who would have thought that! With all that has transpired over the last year you are now coming to the population with this insult? People in Tobago are about to loose their businesses, you have singlehandedly destroyed an already weak tourism sector and this is what you bring to the table. As the PMOTT you must be ashamed, you must feel some remorse, some responsibility for what has been inflicted on Tobago.
After the meeting and media conference what did you do? Jump on a plane back to Trinidad basically telling them tough luck! I hope the country understands what is being sold as governance and leadership and are making themselves very much aware of how bad the system is and that it must change! I keep saying we need a new contract with the people.

We as a people cannot even help someone without the entire affair becoming mired in bacchanal and embarrassment for the recipients. Very sad indeed that a simple good Samaritan act turns into a media circus. Who gave what is the important thing here not the fact that very quietly we all gave. Dollar amounts are boasted about, big smiles for the cameras, and the less fortunate who are the beneficiaries are pushed to the side.
It's like relief for a flood victim, big smiles receiving a mattress or a case of bottled water. The actual photo op should be the remedial work that has been done to prevent the flooding.

In all seriousness, the Tobago ferry debacle is showing exactly where this administration is. This situation will be the hall mark of the success or failure of the current administration and it seems that the situation has been totally misread by the PMOTT. I want to state once again, less we forget, he the PMOTT, is totally and singularly responsible for this debacle.

Hey, there is no eclipse tomorrow but we will survive, the rock will be there!

Good night and good luck!
