Stormborn posted:you obviously have not visited the interior. Most of it is seasonal swamp. We do not have much highlands. Even areas deemed highlands are barren wastelands with impoverished soil that could become deserts if humans decide to remove native species indiscriminately. Those who say we have lots of land are simply not thinking. We have few people compared to un occupied areas but to occupy those places mean struggling with nature in ways we often cannot win as we see on the coast.
This idea is the usual silly thinking and mediocrity that we associate with Granger. He was all about the Jubilee in 2015. Then after that it was all about oil.
I have never heard of any sensible and well thought out idea out of the mouth of that man. One can only ponder about what he does all day.
Dominicans, who do farm, and most don't, have no idea how to farm in our interior conditions. Furthermore moving to the interior just means that their current condition of backwardness due to no power or clean water and telecommunications, just became permanent.
A Dominican who can afford to move to Guyana will prefer to spend that money to rebuild his home and rehabilitate his farm. Its not as if Dominica hasn't had hurricanes before. Two years ago Erika demolished that island and there was recovery. The damage this time is more extreme so recovery will take longer. But recover they will, and in some swamp infested with malaria, labarias, and camoodies!
