Old European custom. I have a picture of my great-grandmother seated in front of her casket, and one of my mother lying in hers. She looked so good it was hard to believe she was dead!

Very well said, especially this part: The prevailing culture manifests itself in the reliance on divine protection rather than diligent enforcement of standards to prevent disasters. Every time I hear someone say "si Dios quiere", I want to respond that what Dios quiere is for you to use the...

Aw, that's so very kind of him. Considering the clientele, no es mi culpa won't cut it this time. Perhaps the passports of the owner(s) and contractors responsible for the modifications made to the structure should be suspended for the time being.

We shall see, but my money is on DJT. In the meantime, don't miss out on this excellent buying opportunity.

Sounds like the big dog is finally wagging the tail.

With a screen name like "bacchus" it might the perfect place.

Says a lot about D.R. when your joke is so believable. New overpaid minister, 80 cousins on the payroll, brother-in-law gets contract, etc.

Is this getting attention in Dominican media? Will Dominicans care?

The memes in the comments section are hysterical.

"Eduardo Sanchez Tolentino (El Piro) and Ricardo Ripoll complained on Somos Pueblo that missing Dominicans have yet to get the same widespread efforts of the authorities to locate a person and solve the case." Long overdue statement.

I have a Schwab checking account. I don't use my debit card often, but when I do they refund the ATM fee. Never an issue. I don't know what a global account is, so I can't help with that. Your post sounds like you're moving to D.R. If so, perhaps they won't mail documents/cards/checks there, but...

This has to be the most polite "call out" I've ever heard, and being raised in the Bronx I've heard more than a few. Absolutely sublime. Nice job!

Old map indeed. The Gulf of what?

I agree, but maybe officials aren't confident that it would reach it's destination. At least not all of it.

"The fund..... seeks to bolster the nation’s orange economy" What's an orange economy?

I've always wanted half a million dollars, so investing one million in any D.R. business would work for me.

Is it the Mormons or Hasidim who are to blame? 😂

The Bee's satire is often so close to reality that they get "fact checked" by the 40 year old virgins at Snopes! "Fake News You Can Trust".
