The Editor speaks: Government accounts are nearly there but NOT nearly enough!

The Editor speaks: Too many carnivals? Will there be a “Sweet Peg”?
Can you have too many carnivals? In Haiti they can’t have too many carnivals. However, this is largely due, according to Paul Sanaon writing on the Mirvaldy-intelect website, due to the Haitian politicians who “are wired to use carnival as…
The Editor speaks: Rudeness to customers at fast food outlets
