Speaking to Jihad, an owner of Carlos Furniture, I asked about the community’s reception and about the business climate in the Virgin Islands.
“I’ve lived in a lot of communities, and the Virgin Islands is the best that I’ve been part of,” Jihad told me. “The Virgin Islands people are very warm and loving — as long as you’re honest with them, and you take care of them — give them what they deserve, they are a very nice people,” he added.
Jihad also had some advice for the candidates vying to become the next leaders of the US Virgin Islands, as we’re now enthralled in a heated election season — today being election day for the Democratic candidates in the territory.
“These Islands have so much potential,” Jihad reckoned. “We need to choose diligently who we’re going to elect as leaders because we need those leaders to recognize that potential, and recognize the good things we have in the Virgin Islands, and how to make those things work for our benefit,” he said.
He continued: “We should not try to mimic other places, because what we have here is unique to the Virgin Islands — and we need to work on that, and feed on that,” Jihad concluded.
