Every time I see a photo of Mr. Bannister or my BPL bill it makes me sick to my stomach. Heaven forbid the Bahamian taxpayer give this incompetent man one more dollar much less $500 million to spend. Privatize BPL immediately and remove this heavy yoke from the necks of Bahamians. A never ending record of failures and false promises only higher electricity bills. If only he would resign too.
Stop spreading fake news. American Airlines shares opened at $11.41 per share and closed at $10.64. The low for the day was $10.58 not like you falsely claim on the verge of $1!
I live in one of those sparsely populated family islands and once we have passed the 14 day incubation period there is no reason with all ports and airports closed that the lockdown can not be lifted. This ban on public beaches makes no sense here either as I rarely encountered another human being in my excursions to the beach.
What is this clown talking about? People have lost their minds. What happened to the hotel unions providing benefits to their workers who faithfully pay their dues. What happened to individuals saving for a rainy day? It is not the responsibility of government to replace these lost salaries and NIB will be broke in 9 years before paying these extra benefits. Does he want our dollar devalued, we simply can not afford this ? Doing what he recommends would deplete the NIB fund.
We need to extend this shutdown and ensure schools are kept closed, otherwise we risk losing all we have gained and may have a rapid increase in cases.
Excellent point. This is moral hazard, why pay for insurance if the government is going to pay to help rebuild your house? This is not the role of government and we can not afford afford it, every dollar given away like this has to be paid for with interest. It is simply unsustainable. Most of these person will take these funds and rebuild in the same way, on the same flood prone land and next storm we will be right back where we started except the national debt has increased.
Cry me a river. So much bitching over plastic bags in this country, really explains how we are in such a mess in this country with a mindset like this. You had a year’s warning but you were greedy and dumb and kept ordering a product you know might not be in demand hoping to sell it. You were lazy and slow to adapt to changing circumstances. You were selfish, caring more about profits rather than our environment. We live in a capitalist system, stop asking me a taxpayer to pay for your incompetence and if you go out of business someone else will take your place who knows how to run a business.
