If its the law i can understand why the Police officer says he must enforce it. however why does he not enforce most other laws. Can he show the law that says he can choose which laws not to uphold? Its going to be a proud day for Bahamians when they are not allowed to celebrate their independence by going to the beach (or even a motorcade), but those rich and mighty people in the sea front gated communities will be able to.
If people are not being paid because their company has not put in their contributions, what is NIB doing to correct this? Are they offering the company a payment plan and if so does this mean the person has to wait until that plan is fully paid? Why not prosecute these companies as the law provides? If NIB had been doing that from when it started there would be a lot less companies non-compliant. But no as with everything here it is easier to blame the worker, then the people who's fault it actually is.
Yes they did, they all called him racist for doing so. The WHO said it was not needed. You can not change the past to fit your narrative. Trump has done plenty wrong, but he did try and shut flights form China and was slammed for it.
This is a disgrace. If he is that worried about Covid then he should have kept the borders closed. This has nothing to do with Covid and all to do with his power trip. I apologize for voting FNM, won't happen again. On another note, is there anyone here that can get me into the one of the gated communities on the beach this weekend . as we know this law isn't for them. I hear Breezers has guests, is he really saying they can't go to the beach? If they say those are private beaches then i should be OK as long as i go to a private beach.
Well if the hotels aren't open of course they won't come. Will be interesting to read your complaints going forward when the economic impact starts to be felt. Though i am sure you won't realize that it is due to tourists not coming, which is what you wanted.
Every year these issues come up but the root cause of the problem is never changed. Why, because too many people are able to make good money on the system being dysfunctional
I want them as i realize we won't be able to survive for too long without. Whether we like it or not we decided to be a tourist nation, we are unable to change our economy quick enough to benefit people. If there is no vaccine in a years time and the US is still having cases are you saying that we should still be closed? And if so are you ok with unemployment being over 50% and all the issues that will bring?
Don't worry we will now find out how well this country will be able to withstand 10's of thousands of people being unemployed. This is but the first of many layoffs. I hope you don't complain when the taxes are raised on those lucky enough to still have a job (i assume thats you and that you aren't in the tourist industry).

Not much if it involves Government (of all colours), quite a lot when it involves our people who have gone on to do greatness around the world.
