We are so screwed. Savings? really who has a savings account these days? taxes take the first chuck, the bank the next, inurance the third part and the scraps get used to buy food and gas. Whenever this ivory tower doctor gobmint takes of the rose coloured glasses we might be able to start addressing the massive whale in the room. The ONLY option is to stop lock down and curfew and get the economy going again. If the government is unable to feed and cloth the entire country and pay all the bills for everyone then we are all screwed. I find it utterly unconscionable that the Bahamas Government deems is perfectly acceptable to take away a mans/womans right and ability to earn an income but not arrange to take care of that person's well being. Minnis says no one can go to work for a day, a month, a year (oh it will be 12 months pretty soon, otherwise the first month was a waste of time money and resources) Minnis says no one can make any money except doctors and policemen. Minnis says go suck your teet if you hungry. Minnis doesn't care a hoot about all the starving children or the ones locked up 24 hours day with an abuser. shameful
ideas and suggestions? How about not kneejerking everyone around. cutting people off from food, gas, pharmacy with 22 minutes notice is practically criminal. I will be forced to vote PLP for the first time if the FNM leaves Minnis at the helm. Minnis has developed very rapidly a heavy case of the Ivory Towers or maybe he had the affliction before he was elected.
Simply assinine. So dust masks or banned? how about spray painting masks. no order everyone to wear a mask but... do we have a million masks available? Minnis has just about lost all of my confidence now. who is telling him to do this stupid crap. This an extremely poorly thought out move.
