Depressed Young Caymanian writes: This government is hellbent on wasting public funds on the most ridiculous projects, and for what reason, I honestly don’t know. With this kind of spending, aren’t we headed for bankruptcy at some point? So many of the proposals, especially during this election season, seem like they’re trying to destroy the main pillar of our economy — the financial services…

Top Hat writes: As a developer who strives to operate ethically and responsibly, it’s incredibly frustrating to see the lack of accountability and poor planning that continues to put both residents and the environment at risk. Development should contribute to a better, more resilient future for Grand Cayman — not worsen the flooding and infrastructure issues we’re already facing. Continue…

tawang tawa talaga ako sa comment niya tungkol sa alarm clock. kaya nga siguro wala tayong Kino Marasigan dahil may alarm clock naman tayo.

pero nung nag-comment siya ng "nakakaiyak naman to" with matching angry emoji pa, napailing ako. user magpatuloy does not know the pain that the next two installments are gonna bring him/her/them.

To those who refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine

Anonymous writes: When your human rights infringe mine, your argument is no longer valid. When did we become such an individualistic, selfish society? Cayman, the Caribbean region and the world as a whole? No longer do we think of the collective, everything is about the individual. The level of narcissism that has permeated throughout our daily lives is staggering. NO vaccine is 100% reliable in…

Multi-generational Caymanians are disadvantaged

You (a first generation Caymanian) aren’t different under the laws, but you have an unfair advantage over multi-generational Caymanians. Your parents and your friend’s parents were smart and worldly and brave enough to move to another country and make a life there. Your average expat is always going to be a higher calibre individual than your average local because of this dynamic. All the…

Tourism sector stacked against Caymanians

J. A. Roy Bodden writes:Bravo to the premier for finally realising that tourism is not an ideal pillar on which build the Caymanian economy. There is no need for me to repeat the ills mentioned by the premier as his catalogue is comprehensive enough. I must add, though, that the greatest hindrance is found in what the academics call “leakage”. This means that all the income derived from the…

Teachers under pressure during pandemic

When this thing started teachers were using online platform combined with Zoom and emails to deliver content and face to face lessons and students were getting comfortable. Suddenly they are given a new platform as a standard… which I understand why. They did as requested, then suddenly another platform was added and another… So now they expected to uproot the kids who are already in unfamiliar…

Some Caymanians are now desperate

There are many of us Caymanians that don’t work in tourism but are without jobs. Why is it that only people in tourism gets the help? I have lost my job and the company I used to work for has gone out of business. I have nothing, I guess they want me to get in line at NAU… I have never felt this low in my life. I have never had to beg anyone for anything, not even my family.
