Ingraham , like many politicians done drunk from the fountain of the chosen and privileged as a has Franky Wilson. All birds of the same feathers. And as local bahamians suffer.

The 12% VAT rate may be the lowest in the Caribbean but most of these countries either eliminated customs duties or reduced it so the average cost on Imports vat included is around
25%. Here in this country it is closer bro 45% so that is a great difference. And it has driven up the cost of living.

Firstly, just like the workers, businesses are also in recovery mode. Some still will not make it beyond December and if Brave chooses to increase their operating overhead by increasing labor costs, many will have no reason to come back.

.
Secondly why the mad rush to raise the minimum wage? inflation is a bigger problem than minimum wage and government is the biggest contributor to inflation. They are too hogging too much revenue in taxes. Government increased taxes by over 60% in 2017 and labor not long before that. And it is the small businesses that are being forced off the playground.

.
.
Governments best measures is to try maintain the status quo for businesses for now if it cannot improve the economic conditions under which they operate. Then after a year or so it will be better able to justify a need for an increased minimum wage and how much of an increase.

Does anyone know how many new cases were on the last dashboard for The Bahamas? THREE. The point isn’t that it was only three but that they didn’t publish it as much. But two weeks hasn’t passed from thanksgiving yet, when f there was to be a surge from increased travel and social activity, it would surface by then. And the new cases now rema mostly New Providence and Grand Bahama. And current deaths (from Covid) remain close to zero even though figures for previous times are being released and leading to some confusion as some believe they are current deaths.

It may be a mystery from hell, but they understand it better than you think. Ways better. Early last year and even while Anthony Fauci was denying that this virus was manufactured in a lab and may have ‘escaped’ from the lab in Wuhan, China, I made a number of posts about how the Covid-19 was so similar to the Spanish flu. Then there were posts about how in 2015 and 2017, a scientist had made his way to Alaska and dug up dead people who had died from the Spanish flu. In the first instance, he removed samples of the virus and in the second instance, he took an entire lung containing the virus. As you know the ground in Alaska is fully frozen so the dead bodies and the virus were fully preserved. Well at that time, I was labeled a conspiracy theorist and several people disputed my posts. One claiming to be a Dr said the Spanish Flu was completely different from Covid-19. because one was a flu and the other a virus. Then facts slowly came out that Dr Anthony Fauci was, in fact, doing or involved with ‘gain of function’ Covid research in the lab in Wuhan, China. Gain of function is when one tries to make a virus more deadly or more transmissible. Bio Weapons . It was further revealed that The scientists who went to Alaska to collect the Spanish Flu samples were linked to Fauci and his ‘gain of function’ research. It was further revealed that Fauci had conducted similar experiments in the United States but he was ordered to ‘cease and desist’ any and all experiments on American soil before they were considered too dangerous. An obvious threat to the human population. In fact, Fauci and the counterparts were also ordered to stop these experiments in the same Wuhan lab in 2017. Again they were considered to be too dangerous. But Fauci found a way around the ban. He claimed he was trying to develop vaccines for corona viruses. So the research went on. Then in late 2019 several of the scientists working in the Wuhan lab became ill. They were rushed to the hospital with breathing problems. Then there were student athletes on tour in China, who also became ill. And as China fought desperately to put out the fire, Fauci chose to do damage control rather than put the world on alert of a possible deadly and highly transmissible virus. A global pandemic just days away. Fauci maintained that the strange virus in China came about because of people eating bay meat. And as thousands died around the world, Fauci continued to sit on the facts. He even lied to the President of the United States. At some point and despite his own views about the virus, Trump did not trust Fauci. He wanted to fire him even.

they are hypocrites!! Earlier in the year , Anthony Fauci was asked if he thought the Covid-19 virus would be around forever. Fauci said ‘NO’. He believes the virus will weaken and become like a seasonal flu and so there may have be a booster for flu shots. NOW this is the EXACT same thing that is happening with the Omnicron strain. But FAUCI dem say no, it’s too early to tell. The Omnicron can develop into something substantial and of concern or it can just fade away. But in the meantime get vaccinated, take your booster shots, vaccinate your children.. it’s the only way to protect yourself he says. Then go scoop all the salt out da sea! and duane SaNDs seem to have been invited to the wrong party. AGAIN!

Not too long ago in America, some were out to prove that Black students did not have the same learning skills and capabilities of their white counterparts. The argument was that re-inter grating American schools would be a disadvantage to white students because the black students, mostly from the inner city, would hold them back. Well it was found that while the white kids were fed balanced meals for breakfast and lunch, the Black kids were fed meals high in salt and sugary drinks. The Black kids were also fed drinks containing # 2 red dye and other substances, known to inhibiting the learning process. So being loaded with salt and sugar, the Black kids became hyper active and many were eventually diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and were prescribed the medication Ritalin. This made the situation even worse as the students eventually started to present with sleep disorders, loss of appetite and other side effects of the medication. By their early teens, many of the students started using and abusing other drugs and many were hardcore drug addicts by their early 20’s. Some turned to a life of crime to support their drug habits and others became homeless.

Seems like Nassau’s crime and violence is spilling over to Grand Bahama.

Grand Bahama seems to draw investors that come up with overly ambitious projects that never seem to get completed. The claim that the money in the project is to be made from the marina is questionable, but not impossible. Would persons having a mega yacht docked outside check into a hotel? Maybe it’s just a way to swing government into approving the project ‘carts Blanche’ and then giving away trailer loads of land and concessions.

Except for being overwhelmed with females, the education system is on pervwith most countries in the region. This is proven by students who go off to college in the US, Canada and the UK. They or on the level with students from other countries around the world. And many excel beyond the average. The problem is that a number of students are not academically inclined or have no interest in certain subjects. These are what are called industrial students. They want to work with their hands and do practical stuff. Technology even. But the schools don’t cater to them. And because of their lack of interest their grades are low. They start to get into mischief and become a distraction to the other students. Eventually they may get into drugs, gangs and crime. They did not fail education. The education system failed them. And a positive male presence in the education system is essential if only a role model for the boys who come from fatherless homes.
