I think the most offensive part of this interview- and I had to wade through a good few options to choose the most offensive- is that this man is talking to the Head of State of a country (1/2).
“Let me stop you right there…”. Caribbean nation Guyana is booming after discovering oil. BBC’s Stephen Sackur puts it to President @presidentaligy; lobbyists say oil is bad for the climate. Dude wasn’t having it. Mans was ready!

Somebody in the replies pointed out, probably correctly, that she might have had to make tough decisions about missing events for her child during the more active parts of her career, and it may be important to her to be fully there for him now that she can be.

It may (or may not?) be worth pointing out, because a lot of the Quotes are asking if this is what a human life is worth, that the fine doesn’t really reflect how the court mathematically values human life. So, to say a bit more-.
Reggae singer Sevana was fined $300,000 on Thursday in the Westmoreland Parish Court after pleading guilty to a death by dangerous driving charge in an accident that claimed the life of a 32-year-old woman, in May of last year.

While I struggle with rankings, I know many rely on them. My alma mater is at the top. However, I can take no joy in knowing that only 27 of 170 high schools in Jamaica were able to make this list. ie. 50% of students attaining 5 CSEC subjects inclusive of Math and English. 🇯🇲

What kind of child are you raising that thinks they can bawl for somebody else's seat?. I'm not participating in your failure as a parent.
If you on a flight and a kid is crying and the parents ask you to swap seats cause the only way the child will calm down is if they have a window seat, that you paid extra for, would you swap seats? Or the kid must just be strong?.
