    President Abinader calls for action to deal with sargassum and save the oceans

    I am no scientist, but I would have thought that if they collected and dried it, it could be a cheap biofuel.

    Some clarity about the new national ID card, the cedula

    I think Residency cedulas are a completely different thing from citizen's cedula's so I assume they will continue being issued as they are now.

    Some clarity about the new national ID card, the cedula

    Up until the last thing I heard, Cedula for foreign Residents are still being distributed normally. It is the ones for Dominicans that are not being distributed at the moment.

    Dominican leaders forge consensus on Haiti

    If they "forged" the consensus it is probably "fake news"! :)

    Do you ever have an optimistic outlook about anything?

    Major hikes in JCE fees as of 1 July

    Fernando Pena Varona a Boston Investor and Economist Predicts that the Peso will be Devalue 100 pesos to a Dollar by 2030

    The peso has gone the other way against the dollar in the last few months due to reasons I'm not allowed to discuss here. It was in the sixties but is currently in the fifties.

    Short Hair

    The OP picked a strange place to come for fashion advice. Personally, I keep my hair short, because I am rather bald and don't like the combover look. Also, I don't want to risk the disapproval of regular DR1 poster "Big" who has a contempt for men with anything other than military style...

    New effort to get motorcyclists to drive safely

    The helmet sticker idea has already fallen apart. You hardly ever see one now, after just a couple of years, like so many other road safety projects. If only AMET would concentrate on catching drivers who do stupid, dangerous things rather than just concentrating on checking documents and...

    Everyone seems to have a car in the DR

    it's a pity they aren't improving the roads to keep up with demand - on the North Coast, for example.

    Trouble at Perla Marina

    I don't know, but maybe it's a road to the place where the residents of La Cienega will move to. Expert on all things Windeguy says they're going to be moved to somewhere near La Bombita.

    You are not alone, Mr Windeguy. I also think there should be a snowbird visa.

    Migracion Roundup in Cabarete

    In my experience, Haitians living here are certainly no more aggressive than Dominicans. Of course, when a Haitian acts in an aggressive way, it suits some people to publicise it as much as possible.
