Yes i understand Mr. Allens letter. It is putting the blame of civil servants being paid a pittance after deductions at the fault of those who get the deductions, rather then the person who decided to enter into the deduction voluntarily in the first place. Yes it is asinine that people can have deductions of up to 70% of their salary ( i think its this amount), but yet again no one forced them to and only they know how much they can afford to pay out and be OK. Or should we just say no deductions and they hear the complaint that people are unable to get a car as they can't pay full, or unable to get a fridge etc. Then what would your plan be? Somehow we as a society have got to point where people do not need to take personal responsibility for their actions which seems strange.

Hmm someone voluntarily enters into an agreement to pay over time for an item via salary deduction and it is the store owners fault. Whilst anyone can tell you that way of paying is a rip off, no one is forcing people to do that. Is the letter writer saying that civil servants (in particular, as they get mentioned a lot) are not smart enough to look after their affairs?

If the assessment will take between 4-6 weeks and its only been a week and a half, i think there maybe some more time to go before complaining.

They have had one in the mall since 2014 so they are doing well enough to open another. Maybe its a case of taking a while to get Bahamians used to the food. Either way, good luck to them.

It used to show that as i had a friend who booked their 2nd dose. But now another friend tried and it is showing none available.

The vaccine does not stop the virus, it does however severely limit how bad it gets and massively reduces the number of deaths. The UK is seeing daily deaths down to single digits (and down 69% from a week ago), whilst cases are down around 3,00 a day (17% down on a week ago and down from 60,000 at the start of the year). The USA had deaths over 2,000 a day a short while ago, now it is in the 7-800 range, cases around 70,000 from 250,000. This is the same in most countries that have widespread use of the vaccine. Bahamas is under 5% vaccinated, which is not widespread.

Strange that i had heard a while ago they bought that to be the PM's house. Then they could close the beach off that end for security reasons (due to it being the PM's house), which would in effect make Wynn's beach private. Wonder which story is true.

Thank you, the idea that by buying this house they protected beach access for Bahamians is laughable. And yet the Tribune as always has not pointed that out.

I take it you have had all the other vaccines that we are giving. The ones that means huge numbers of kids don't die before they are 5 years old? If you have why?

So a whole article and at the end the WSC say why they had to do it. Why did the tribune not check to see if WSC is correct and per General orders they had no choice. If that is the case then they did nothing wrong. If thats not the case then they were wrong.
