And now Covid has fallen off the front page of The Tribune. Guess why?The Omnicron strain. Even though this virus is surging all around the world, hardly anyone is getting seriously I’ll from it and the deaths remain flat. Even persons who are fully vaccinated and had booster shots are getting it. And even persons who had different strains of Covid. And they don’t want you to know what the Dr who discovered the strain is say because they still want to push vaccines and booster vaccines. Anyway the South African Dr says the Omnicron virus is a cleanup strain. Contracting it is like having a mild case of the flu. Some people won’t even know they have it. But once you get it and recover, you will now have natural immunity to COVID-19, all strains. And this affirmation seems to be holding firm.

Obviously these individuals Wayne Munroe and Carlos Reid are living in the dark ages. Lost to modern times. Studies have shown that these shock treatment programs do more harm than good to young individuals, especially when they expose them to the crime element ) prisons and prisoners in that setting. In fact some of these ‘shock treatment programs’ were specifically targeting young, Black youth with the intention of making them comfortable around criminals and the prison environment. Boot Camps, on the other hand, have shown to be effective in straightening out troubled youth, once they are sterile of the ‘shock treatment’ and understand that goals will not always be achievable in the short term, and the program must involve a certain degree of counseling. There may be a number of underl factors that cause youth, to act out and misbehave and the child, him or herself, may be the victim of someone’s else’s misbehavior. There has to be a balance between rewards and positive reinforcements and punishment. Shock treatment should totally off the table or moderate. Over 90 percent of the world’s population go through life not seeing the inside of a prison or coming in contact with a prisoner. And the old people always tell young folk to ‘stay away from the police and the courts.’

So what is the future you f the post office in 5, 10 20 years from now? What is significance of building specifically for a Post Office. Can other services be incorporated with the Post Office to ensure the building does not become obsolete. Will the building be easily converted for another use should the post office become obsolete? How cost effective will it be to break the Town Center Mall’s lease I four years as opposed to seeking better terms. That is to say ‘da post office is done deer. What is the opportunity costs and other costs associated with digging it up and moving elsewhere after such a short period and after the country was out of a main post off for so long. Are you cutting off your face to despise your nose?

On Letting vaccines expire ‘embarrassing’

That is a small amount of vaccines that will go to waste compared to what will be dumped worldwide after December 31. Most people who wanted to get vaccinated have done so. And the stronger the authorities try to twist some people’s arms, the greater the resistance will be.

The DOCTOR in south africa who discovered the Omnicon virus says she doesn’t know what the hype is all about, especially with the US and other countries closing their borders to Africa. don’t panic’ she says. The Omnicon virus is very weak and no one is getting seriously ill from it and no one in South Africa is in the hospital with it. She says it may be too soon to predict but she believes the Omnicon is a ‘clean up’ virus. Because it’s fast moving and only has symptoms of a mild flu, a lot of people will get it. ‘And they will build up natural immunity to Covid-19.’ Of course the script with Joe Biden and the US is different. ‘Get vaccinated, they say ‘get your booster shots’ get ya children vaccinated and ya pets,

Many businesses have become mere tax generators and tax collectors for the government. The ability to realize profits doesn’t exist.

On ‘15 percent VAT was not considered’

A lot of businesses fail because they don’t realize the real tax burden on a business. For example the way customs duties and VAT are calculated, a business (or individual can pay upwards of 50 percent In taxes at the border, even before their goods are allowed into the country. The freight and insurance are added to the cost of the goods, the the VAT is calculated on that figure. So if a business owner is operating under the assumption that he is only paying 12 percent vat he will soon find out as his ability to purchase new inventory will soon disappear. Then on top of that he has to pay business license and national insurance and probably property taxes in addition to vat on his utilities and supplies he purchase for the business. So government can easily get 60-70 percent taxes on the initial cost of goods a business purchases for resale. And so the consumer will ask ‘why do things in Nassau cost three times what they cost in Miami?’ And they will conclude, ‘Dese stores in Nassau ( The Bahamas) trying to make a killing.’ BUT NO! It’s your government trying to make a killing, stifling the economy with overtaxation and driving up the cost of living. Far beyond the reach of the average citizens.
