Can you expound on this?

"Common Knowledge"...but not really that common imo.

I worked with this cat on a gig.



And he put me on. (I think we were talking about development, and Jamaica has been exporting bauxite for generations. But the bauxite gets smelted into aluminum in Louisiana (I believe). JA has nuff engineering talent, why isn't JA turning the ore into aluminum, and then aluminum into finished goods? (like vehicle and aeroplane frames for instance) (the official answer is lack of cheap electricity, but I'm not convinced...)

Lead me down a rabbit hole.










There's nothing particularly special about this, every former colony from Thailand to Colombia has the same sort of framework in place.
  • In East Asia/Southeast Asia you'll find a Chinese upper classl
  • In Africa and Latin America - Lebanese/Syrians along with children of the colonizer families
And to keep it a buck,

The Wealthy in Florence Today Are the Same Families as 600 Years Ago​



Informal Oligarchies? Neo-Feudalism? "The Elite"

They are leaving the country far too much.

The Jamaican diaspora is almost as big as the native population.

they need to go home and fix it up

2 million Jamaicans outside of Jamaica and 2.8 inside

that’s ridiculous

Why would we want to go to that wicked ass nation beside vacation

You go back gotta watch your neck

This isn't just a Jamaica thing. It's a worldwide thing cuz there aren't gonna be enough young people to support the old folks. Look at south Korea and China.

There are a ton of reasons

- cost of living
- contraception
- feminism
- less religion
- acceptance of lgtbq
- ppl realizing life and this world is kind of pointless/ shyt - nihilism
An underrated reason☝️that doesn’t get mentioned enough, IMHO…
My girl said she absolutely doesn’t want children and at first I was on the fence about it but recently I’m like “that’s a damn good idea “
My girl and I decided on this. Dink life.

I'd be a piece of shyt to bring someone into a world like this just so they could take care of me when I can't do it myself. I'll hire a person who's trained to do it.

Topic is about birth rates and retarded coli nikkas are deflecting to a diaspora population as if the wealthiest nations in the world don't have abysmal birth rates. You FBA nikkas man:snoop:
:what:

Yet another reason why FBAs are delineating.

The Black Diaspora is getting their licks in but the focus is on FBA. It’s been so easy to hide behind FBA. No more, friends. :camby:
