The All-Inclusives and Other Large Businesses Scam the Citizens of Montego Bay

When you have a society like Montego Bay, where there are five star all-inclusive hotels, that scam the people that live in the city, use the resources to make millions of dollars that is not re-invested in the city, to help the natives feed their hungry children, the children will grow up to get money by any means necessary. Why does no one realise that all-inclusives and big corporations are scamming the citizens of Montego Bay? Why doesn't the government call these multi-million dollar hotels scammers, why call the people scammers? How can you look poor people in the eye and tell them there is no money, no jobs? This is why kids grow up with no morals, because they see money coming into their city and they want their share. I am not a specialist in terms of how the all-inclusives operate, I hope someone can educate me about how their system works, but what I know is that, even if you close every single Western Union in Montego Bay, the scamming will continue until you address the root of the problem, which is that people are hungry, money is flowing into the city by the millions, and the government allow all-inclusives to make money without re-investing into the city. I am just one concerned person. I am not a person of power and influence. I am just trying to understand the issues myself. I am sure there must be a way for the all-inclusives to share their income with the poor people that live in Montego Bay. You want the scamming to stop? well feed hungry people, give them jobs, help them find housing, meet their basic needs. Until this is done,people will continue to scam.I do not endorse scamming. I am deeply ashamed whenever I hear that my beautiful city where I was born is known for scamming. I am just saying that the people are being scammed by the government that allow all-inclusives to steal the citizens of Montego Bay's money. I am sorry if I step on some people's toes with this blog, if I offended you, my deepest apologies...

Use modern technology to generate income

 Russhaine Berry,popularly known as "Dutty Berry", proves that you can use the internet to launch your career. Many people should take his example and use the internet to show their creativity. So many creative people in Montego Bay. There is a vast potential for new business opportunities. We have to take advantage of modern technology and make opportunities for ourselves. There is no need for scamming, pyramid schemes and other fraudulent internet activity when we have the world at our fingertips, craving for our unique culture and willing to pay to do legitimate business with us. What we need is new leadership in Montego Bay. We thank the older heads for bringing us to this point, but if the best strategy they can come up with is to tax people's bank accounts, it is time for them to retire and make way for younger leaders who are more equipped to use modern technology to generate income.

“Many persons have opted out of the formal labour force to create their own employment opportunities. One such person is Internet sensation- turned-actor Russhaine Berry, popularly known as Dutty Berry. "I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in language and communication from the University of the West Indies, but after I left school, I was unemployed for a long period of time," said Berry: http://bit.ly/1qHkLNR
