Maybe it’s time for the government to follow the road the banks are taking. The less interaction employees have with the public, the less opportunity there is for bribery and corruption. Automate everything as much as possible. Computers cannot take bribes or dispense commands based on emotion. And there has been progress in some government departments st least prims facie. One time ago you couldn’t get a entry through customs unless someone paws was getting greased. Today the process for the most part is almost seamless. Most of it can be done online.

Take time and go play with your parents. Both of them. Obviously there’s a whole lot they still have to teach you because obviously you don’t have no home training.

Proves that the police strategy for shootings/murders is ineffective and not working. When culprits want to shoot or kill they still do it. In fact the number of multiple shootings seem to be increasing. Becoming a trend. Taking innocent young men and letting half drunk , dope smoking police officers beat them unconscious or smother them half to death is creating more problems, not solving crime because you now have officers acting outside the law. Some even kill under the guise of ‘Doug their job’. Get rid of the rogue officers. Get rid of the criminal and illegal police tactics. Ensure are sober and level headed when they report for duty ( yes surprise drug tests). Win back the confidence of the people you serve and become united in the fight against crime. A police force cannot be seen to be committing the same crimes they are supposed to be policing. And that includes murder.

Do you know that if all the revenue streams the government has lined up materialize and if government continues to plug the holes that cause revenue erosion, government can experience a surplus budget by early 2000 or at least by second half 2000?

Obviously you didn’t comprehend what you read. Google the HIV in South Africa and see how it was being transmitted and who was responsible for doing it,.

Sometimes these long trips with infected persons are planned. And by the time the aircraft reaches its destination almost everyone onboard who is not vaccinated gets the virus. And the venture into the community unknowingly spreading it. Then it’s too late. Just look what has been going on in South Africa with the AIDS virus.

So what was the apparent threat? After spending 45 years on a job, you are now being treated like a terrorist. And a professor at that.

The liquidity situation of many banks is another reason why they don’t want to be bothered with the web shop money. It will mean having the money sit there are zero interest or having to go in a soft and saturated market to get borrowers. So now web shops have limited legal options. Of course they can venture into the risky loan business.

All of Canada and more than half the Uas is frozen over. A great portion of the Caribbean still remains I’d dirsrepair due to multiple hurricanes. Call it a blessing in disguise or prayers answered but it has jumped started the Bahamas Tourism. And to think there has only been one travel advisory since the FNM came to office. All of these factors have a play on the current tourism boom. And Venezuela is in turmoil and Brazil, not only a slump economy but the media has been advising against traveling there and the Zika virus for years. So yes we have blessings and hopefully the success of the hotels will trickle into the other parts of the hurting economy. Hopefully soon.
