"Airbnb's Just A Pain For The Neighbours As Well" In fact, some communities in North America and Europe have banned them! Fancy having a steady stream of unknown, ever-changing "neighbours" in a local community? Is The Bahamas in fact finally receiving VAT from these "guests"
Mr. Turnquest certainly talks the talk, but just curious as to how much we have actually borrowed since he and Dr. Minnis took the reins. I believe the Country acts much like Argentina in that we keep borrowing, pretending we will tighten our belts, promise to come in line with IMF, and other international financial entities' guidelines for fiscal reform, and then borrow more, a few million here, a few million there, defaulting all the while and adding to the disparity between debt and GDP.
This Country's leaders have long been soooo crooked and soooo lazy. They have allowed the sun to bake their brains, assuming they had any. It would appear that BEC and Works have been actively working against the very people who pay for their existence. truly sickening. They hold the public hostage for their own gain. worse than sickening. It is really past time for The People to don yellow, black and blue vests and send the government a message that enough is enough.
"In modern society, social democratic countries and political parties tend to focus on human rights issues. Social democratic countries typically have strict protections for minority groups. They also often attempt to distribute wealth equally throughout the population. Social democracies typically provide government-funded healthcare, subsidized higher education and aid for the elderly, among other social welfare initiatives." "Unlike socialism, which advocates the nationalization of businesses and other sectors, social democratic countries generally do not emphasize government takeovers of industry. Not all social democrats agree on capitalism, however; some believe that capitalism should be eliminated."
I think we need to decide and affirm what kind of governance we expect of our country in this day and time. It cannot be all ways. We seems to have a hodgepodge of philosophies and practices....
