Wow who would have thought this would happen. The idea that the cruise passengers would only stay at the cruise facility as planned by the cruise lines. What audacity!!! wonder how Nassau will look a few months after the RCL area opens on PI and the Ports own Pool area.

They haven't got any chance. For years they have been trying to sort out the hole on Parliament street and seem incapable of fixing it. So i highly doubt there is any chance of fixing the others. Maybe another IDB loan will help, or a trip by the MOW to another country to see how they do it. Though if the latter it wouldn't be effective if they didn't take at least 100 people.

Dawes says...

And that is why this country keeps failing. Our country keeps electing people who have no idea how a business should run. They may eat a tiny portion of those fees but the vast majority will be passed on. And will show on the passengers ticket exactly how much the tax is taking (and this will be seen as a tax). Lets continue to price ourselves out the market.

So Government claims that they can't do anything to help the flood areas of the island which are under water the last few weeks as that is the weather. But with this new Hospital they will be able to do mitigation efforts. Apart from diverting the water to other peoples homes, what is it they can do that they are unable to do for all those now suffering?

Dawes says...

You can say strawman, and i agree if JCNP is doing wrong it should come out. But for Bowleg to play all high and mighty when there are many things he does which is against the ethos of the law is ridiculous. But he knows there are people who will support him no matter what wrong he does, just due to his shirt color

For a country with over 70% of kids born out of wedlock so not in accordance with God we sure are a judgmental lot on a small % of the population.

Dawes says...

Will we get the audit of the 50th games? And has MR Bowleg submitted his disclosures. Though if the JCNP is doing wrong that should come to light, this just makes it look like pure victimization on behalf of Bowleg due to the timing.

VAT shouldn't be charged on the Grat as an FYI, so based on above should be $33.80 (yes expensive)

On Briland feels Silver's loss for slow season

Can see the benefits of this. Especially as often the owners are still sitting pretty whilst the ex-employees are owed plenty (City). However there are drawbacks too. This would be seen as a basic pay increase so there will be no pay rises for the first year or two as companies take it in. The other big issue, if a company has set up redundancy then when things are bad they will choose that option almost sooner rather then as a last resort. This is because it has already been costed. During Covid many more people would have been unemployed after as many companies would have taken the option of closing and eliminating all in the hope of restarting if able to in the future.
