lawfulness aside - who signs a lease agreement with no exit clause? is that really in the People's best interest? is that standard practice? i got a piece of land i want to lease gobmint for a huge sum of money and guaranteed income with no exit clause for 10 years. Where do i sign? I believe every large contract of this kind should be very public so the people can make up their own mind on whether they want to be saddled with more taxes. Miller play with fire and get burned.
Would you agree that Covid19 has revealed an uncomfortable truth about government-people relationship? The way I see it, this has clearly made visible the patriarchal nature of the Bahamas. We are all clearly supportive of the idea that no one, not a single person is responsible for themselves or their actions. Businesses cannot be trusted to act in accordance with their own best interest. Surely a hotel owner or retail business owner doesn't want to risk all of the staff getting sick and the financial strain it would put on the business? Surely parents and grandparents are not to be trusted to safeguard themselves and their families from contracting the virus. Without a doubt the only course of action is Big Brother telling the people where to stand, when to shop, when and how you can travel. The People are clearly not to be trusted to have any freedoms at all. Surely if i get infected or a loved one gets infected and risks death - it is not any fault of mine but the government for allowing this untenable situation to unfold. I say yes, please take away my liberty, please ensure that I must remain in my home and never venture out for surely I may risk dying this very day. Thank you Government the Bahamas for ensuring that I stay busy dying and not busy living. Thank you.
i know first hand after spending 9 months making daiquiris for cruise ship tourists in my youth. however, i'd guess 5% of the Bahamas employed work force see a few dollars out of the industry. what you need to keep in mind is that is still a contribution of 5%
