Why would you buy school uniforms when your kid is not back to school yet. If they are at home doing it they don't need an expensive uniform. Once the schools do re-open Government will have to consider the VAT free again, as that is when many parents will buy

I think the reason they are extended is due to the fact it means employers do not have to make their decision on whether to layoff (and severance) or rehire a lot of people. Government knows many businesses will have no other choice but to be declared bankrupt and that would make the economic collapse a lot worse then need be. I am sure whenever that date comes there will still be many bankruptcies.

Wait is this the same Chamber of Commerce President who in July said Nassauvians should be banned from traveling during emancipation weekend. As i said then he would change his mind once the economic implications became apparent. Government will most likely not change this policy until after the next long weekend (Heros day), so we got a while to go.

The white guy armed with the AK47 killed two white guys not two black (shouldn't matter what color they were but to the writer it did). There is plenty wrong in the US that needs to be sorted out in regards to race, however not telling the truth and using hyperbole does not help.

Then you don't know much

Umm nope, I think Ian Smith was an idiot whose ideas were passed their time. Unfortunately as in many ex colonies the new leaders took over the worst of the old leaders and ended up doing the same things (both looking after a small elite which benefited them)

Zimbabwe did this to themselves. They were known as the breadbasket of Africa and decided for political reasons do do stuff which destroyed that. If they had taken a long term view of slowly changing the ownership of the land it would have worked, but a short sharp treatment such as they did hasn't. Hell even if they took the land as they did and had a plan to keep the farms going ti would have worked but they didn't.

Hmm really. Take it when you say that you still want the US to help after Hurricanes and when boaters are missing. Also you want their tourists to come, oh and when you sick to be able to fly over there for treatment. Of course there is also the chance that if you have kids they will want to go there for education, so that should still be allowed. So basically you no doubt want all the positives but none of the items you don't agree with.

The task force's mandate is to provide food so the population won't starve not to provide what people want. The only way the task force can provide perishable foods would be to make sure everyone has electricity and a fridge with a freezer. Government does not have that sort of money to do that. . As mentioned they could give out vouchers, but this would then mean people would not be able to buy as much food as is been giving out as the vouchers would not be able to purchase the same value as those being discounted. What the food task force should do is say if you are found to be abusing the system then you will receive half of the normal amount. If found again to be abusing it then nothing and that would go across all Government social services.

I get it that the opposition is there to oppose, but sometimes an idea is good. If this saves money and still offers the Children an education what would be the problem?
