Although what you say is true, it's not as clear cut in The Bahamas as it is in the US. The US has a huge pool of skilled workers, such as engineers, to pull from, and numerous businesses that require said engineers. Unfortunately, due to the sub-standard education system in The Bahamas, and the limited job opportunities in skilled areas, there are not that many skilled & qualified Bahamians to choose from, and employers constantly struggle to find qualified Bahamians. Those Bahamians that do go off to college to study, for example in engineering, more often than not stay overseas where the job opportunities are more numerous and the salaries much better than back home, for the exact reasons you state. In my opinion it's a vicious cycle. The best thing this country could do, would be to establish traditional and formal trade schools where they teach all the essential trades (apprenticeships) where upon completion, students leave with a formal accreditation. This would make it so much easier for employers to hire Bahamians rather than risking hiring someone who has the 'bush' know how experience, but no formal training.
At least we agree on your point regarding MSM credibility. Although, saying everything MSM doesn't like is a 'conspiracy theory' is a little far-fetched. I think it is true some of the time but not all the time.
I'm not aware of any credible source that says there was a call to action. I can totally see a counter protest happening just like there is at all political rallies. But, trying to hand off the blame to other political movements for what happened is disgraceful, and cowardly.
And yes, Sullivan, should be treated no different than any of the others who stormed the Capitol. As far as I'm aware he was the only left wing activist that has so far been proven to have been there. Stop trying to deflect the blame on to left wingers.
Those are 1 week old conspiracy theories now. Even Fox News and the Republican House Leader (McCarthy) are now saying there is no evidence of Antifa & BLM. At some point you have to ask yourself if you trust your source of information. Hopefully you're not talking about the guy with the so called Antifa tattoo, which as both my young adult boys informed me, is actually a tattooed symbol from the video game Dishonored.
Exactly, I agree 100% with what you're saying. I just don't understand why a pharma company shouldn't be indemnified for developing something that could, and will, save thousands of lives. As long as they have followed all required regulations & laws, it shouldn't be an issue.
I don't think it's only Trump supporters who are Patriots or fly the flag. Plenty of non-Trump supporters are, and do, as well. Beating, looting and murder have unfortunately been around forever. I don't think it's right to single out BLM & Antifa. It's not a new thing (Prohibition, Slavery, KKK, etc etc). All those things happened throughout history in America, and will continue to happen, and did just happen on Wednesday this week..
