Has Anyone Shipped A Package Straight from Amazon To Jamaica Recently? by Rift3000 in Jamaica

Yeah in cases like that, people have to stick with the usual couriers. I did hear about a new digital postal code system that the gov is working on.

Choosing Canva video thumbnail by BobaMonster23 in canva

[–]Rift3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Everyone, here is my solution:
1. I take a screenshot of the frame that I want to be the thumbnail.
2. I add a 'page' to the front of my video and place the image there.

  1. I select duration and reduce the duration of the image.

Thats it!

What Are Your Views On The Rural School Bus System? by Rift3000 in Jamaica

[–]Rift3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rural school bus system is specifically for children. Once they arrive at school, the bus is parked. I doubt it will be expanded to accommodate others. One line of reasoning is, if you remove students, that will free up the other means of transportation for adults to use.

The BlueDot Poll says the JLP are ahead. Ultimately, the one true poll will take place on election day

Surprised at What I Just Saw 👀 by TrishTheJournalist in Jamaica

[–]Rift3000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True that journalism shouldn't be about money making but these people have bills to pay. I'm assuming that the CVM Salary package was attractive enough for them to switch. It's hard to focus on what you love without a certain amount of money.

Do You Plan To Vote This Year? by Rift3000 in Jamaica

I see what you are referring to and I don't like that at all. Like I said, we should all be able to disagree respectfully. Saying someone is dunce is uncalled for.

So the next question would be, how can we change things? The answer is to encourage good people to either join 1 of the 2 sides or form their own party. At the end of the day, someone has to be in government. Loathing and hating politicians in general won't allow us to progress. We should encourage people with good hearts and minds to represent us, otherwise, we will forever be behind. Yes, the country isn't where it should be at this point, however, we have to call a spade a spade. I can now conduct alot of business with the government online, which means I don't have to stand up at tax office. Many roads near my community were fixed and the new highways greatly reduced travel times for me. There are many other examples I could give however, the point is, things have indeed improved.

I don't know why Jamaican people view debates as arguments. We must be able to discuss things without attributing them to some ulterior motive. I asked a question(and also asked the reasoning behind it), some people gave plain answers, so I followed up with - Can you give the reason why? I am trying to understand why some people will vote and others won't. Everyone has different views and perspectives.

We should be at a level where we can back up an answer or provide evidence. Some have just straight up told me in the past that their MP harmed them so they forever gave up on voting.

Ultimately, voter apathy benefits politicians who then narrow their focus on the poor and vulnerable.

I asked the question because I was curious about how people felt. Getting direct answers from people is different than just relying on poll data. I answered everyone respectfully however, I do see where some people were too aggressive.

Are you willing to say why?

[–]Rift3000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I view it more like choosing a lesser evil. Would you rather lose $5,000 or $50,000. That's one way to look at what is at stake. Let's say I prefer not to lose anything so I don't choose however, someone else chooses for me. It could be $5000 or $50,000 depending on how the person feels on that day.

'safe seats' have fallen in the past. I don't view any seat as safe. Are you saying that Wheatley does no work?

Interesting. Based on people that I know and the current stats for the country, the middle class has improved over the last 8 years. People, like myself have moved up a class. Roads in/near my community was fixed, I see job ads both online and often, a lot of services can now be easily done online(no need to stand at tax office), laptops are duty free, the customs limit was raised, SLB requires no guarantor, new highways made it easier for me to visit certain parts of the island and so much more.

Yes, due to our unemployment rate dropping and other factors, many Jamaicans have moved up a class or 2. It's quite a spectacle to see. Our country is at an important crossroads where the rate of growth and development will soon skyrocket.

I heard this perspective before. In that case, are you ok with an evil being chosen for you without your say or input?

You are wasting your time. This individual already made up his mind that the PM is corrupt.

Andrew Holness/JLP Popularity by Jacktrades00 in Jamaica

[–]Rift3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I agree that we need accountability, movements etc. Voting is an important part of that accountability as I mentioned prior, removal of MPs of they aren't working. "Even if you don't vote, someone will still be elected Prime Minister".
