THE CHANGES FOR THE BETTER IN BELIZE ARE IMPRESSIVE!
The changes in Belize over the past 50 years are impressive. 75% of the population now have electricity, water availability, washing machines and refrigerators. The advent of spreading electricity has raised the standard of living of Belizeans immensely. People more build in concrete and use zinc roofing. While in rural Toledo they still prefer jungle type palmetto walls and thatch roofs due to the cheap cost of community bands of labor donations. The only cost is a machete and tying wire. Elsewhere everybody that can, is going upscale. Land is becoming scarce. Belize still has lots of land, but most politicians use their term in office to acquire land to enrich themselves. Which is probably why we are not getting good public service from the Lands Department? The land that is left is in reserves of one kind or another.
Belize has developed as a SOCIALIST COUNTRY, not exactly the same as SCANDINAVIA but similar and apparently superior to the socialism wanted by CUBA, or Venezuela under Chavez. Our SOCIALISM is a mix, of capitalism and socialism. In a workable mold similar to many European type countries. Not as extravagant as them, but in the needed basics yes.
Belize is doing very well!
