Culture
Jamaican culture fosters intergenerational poverty, and instead of reforming local culture, politicians cultivate welfare- rather than wealth-oriented culture by professing their love for the poor. Idealizing poverty, however, will only encourage the immiseration of the poor because entrepreneurs, progressive intellectuals,...

In the southern climes among the peoples of the South Seas, it was perfectly normal for women to steer boats. So they were a bit confused when they saw these very pale, unhealthy-looking European men on their big, exotic-looking wooden boats because there were no women on board.
