About why anyone but me is thinking wistfully about the Garapan parking meters.

have plan will travel said...

What about JAL, plenty casinos on Tinian, the ferry to Guam, selling CUC for 250 mil, and my favorite, the bridge to Tinian.

... about the "Save Sugar Dock" folks who chased away a bonafide Australian investor, in what all now recognize was a major blunder based on conservationist overreaction and simple bad information.

About what ever happened to the campaign to unionize hotel and restaurant workers in the 1990's, and why the union never did anything in the places that did get unionized.

CNMI hotels and restaurants are fully unionized. OFW, UFO and others have done a wonderful job of keeping locals out of the job market.

There is a major omission on the SML list- June 1st federalization.

We're living on borrowed (Fitial) time.

Thank you, sir, for the 180 days!

Let it BE.

About the 20,000 Chinese garment workers now not making $3.05 an hour in an OSHA safe factory on Saipan with EEOC rights. About them being back in china making $2 a day thanks to the terribly concerned human rights 'advocates'.

cheap 2 sleep said...

now, now, now, remember that they're bolstering that $2/day with prostitution.

and their conditions are being supervised by "hosha," so it's really not all that bad.

"CNMI hotels and restaurants are fully unionized. OFW, UFO and others have done a wonderful job of keeping locals out of the job market."

Now that's an interesting twist that had not occurred to me. Please elaborate, Goose.

about Ben Fitial's lies...

about Howard and Deanne's lies...

about Charles Reyes suing Janet King because he bought her gifts and she rejected him...

about Ray Mafnas being a senior policy adviser with no degree and a reputation of beating up on minorities (choking Korean student at NMC and beating a Filipino census worker with a 2x4)...

about Tony Muna's incompetence at CUC and depending on his deputy director Wallon Young who actually knows what the hell he is doing...

about the regular power outages we keep getting and Tony Muna blaming them on falling trees...

about the arrogant Tim Villagomez and his scumbag lawyer David Lujan who blames the guilty verdict on a rigged and corrupt jury and judge...

about the fact that Tim blames everyone but himself...

about the Teno family who still pulls the strings in the CNMI...

about the Teno family still getting top jobs for their kids even though their kids are incompetent...

about MVA spending most of its budget on salaries...

about going after a Chinese market even though Japanese and Chinese hate each other...

about a mean and vulgar Bruce Bateman who made fun of the guest worker who set himself on fire becoming marketing director for MVA with zero marketing experience...
