Of course there is money in it, just not the stupid amounts being said. Mr. Bain says that we should get $7,000 a ton, whilst i can go online and buy it for $4-500 a ton. And that is after all the expenses you just mentioned have been taken into account. So the profit is not $7,000 as Mr. Bain states. Sure we could charge $7,000, but no one will be buying it.
The plan is as it always has been. put our head in the sand and every now and then take it out and have a look. if it looks good then back to normal, if not then its head in sand time again.
Why would someone want to book a holiday here if they are not allowed onto the beach at the weekends? Until that is straight and people believe the Government when they say they won't go back, people may not risk coming here. So well done Government, you have not let people know what the criteria is for when you will lockdown or open up, instead letting a one man band decide on a whim. If i was a tourist i would not risk it.
Those countries have told their people the criteria for when lockdowns come and when they will end. Over here we are at the whim of one man who appears to make things up just before he speaks. Who knows maybe he flips a coin to make his decisions. In addition many of his decisions are not based on any facts on the ground but on how he must feel (why is Abaco still closed like Nassau, when other areas are worse). Finally the most important thing is this man has done nothing over the last 7 months except hope it away, so we will have lock down after lockdown, whilst in Europe they are opening all the extra hospital beds they will need.
The informal one is one not registered. It does not matter the size if the company is not registered and therefore (supposedly) paying all they are meant to and complying with the law they are at a disadvantage then someone just doing as they want.
If Bannister wants to get people on his side he can release the details on what is owed and what is in the Contract. Then the people can decide if he is right. As it is i would guess that he is wrong and just using foreigner as a get out for his own incompetence.
So if the entire Cabinet and all other MPs who came into contact with Bannister are on quarantine does this mean they are unable to have the meeting in Parliament to discuss extending the emergency orders? In which case does this means they will cease to exists at the end of the month?
What is the point of the ERC if Government can decide not to implement certain ideas. Surely if there is the an economic case for it then it should occur. As soon as Government starts to reject ones it is based on politics, which is exactly why we are in this position.
