Flooding, Health care, road works, access to a water supply, inflation, unemployment, violent crime, miseducation, the Public disService, and our tax dollars are spent to make us the only Country in History to host two major summits in a year. When Uncle Patrick needs health care he jumps in his S600 mercedes, is escorted with lights & sirene to Piarco VIA the Priority Bus Route, gets on board Guardian Holdings private jet and goes to Cuba where he will get the best Care, His Diplomatic Palace does not flood and never experiences water shortages, he gave himself a 50% raise of pay from 32k to 48k a month tax free for life (there goes inflation), he has 24 hour armed security so crime is not an issue, he is incharge of the PUBLIC disSERVICE and all his employees need to hear is "it's for Uncle Patrick" and you can consider it handled immediately, they will continue to miseducate us as long as it serves their purpose. WE ARE RIPE FOR A REVOLUTION.
