Max Power Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I have never known a time when we in the Isle of Man were living through so many crises? The housing crisis, the climate crisis, the bus crisis, the airport crisis, the Covid crisis, the health service crisis, the schools crisis, the inflation crisis, the Brexit crisis, the government pensions crisis, I'm sure I could come up with several more, such as the Douglas $hithole crisis, the DoI idiot crisis and the government stupidity crisis! Why can't we just go back to having issues, why is everything in crisis? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Because they are so deep rooted and continuous and not easily solvable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 True, but also because calling something a crisis justifies some illogical measures, measures that no one in their right mind would pursue if there wasn't 'a crisis'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
english zloty Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Because there are so many non-Manx here who take no notice of our motto. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emesde Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The things you refer to are largely issues that are turned into crisis by people making stupid decisions. A good example of this was the Airport parking. Any normal person would have said. We need to restore the airport parking. It's worth over 600k per annum so let's get the barriers and cash machine operational again(I think it was decommissioned when the airport was the covid vacination hub). Get someone to carry out repairs, reinstall. Issue over. But instead they created a crisis with lies and excuses and we now have a rubbish system and a trial to last months and loss of income. Crisis created. Press releases. More untruths. Mistrust all round. And a couple of weeks issue becomes an ongoing crisis. 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Crisis, bit like Hero really? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bserver Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Because the cans have been kicked down the road for so long by successive regimes that things are now at crisis point on multiple fronts. On a similar note, why do we never see white dog poo these days? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
