Expect unemployment figures to increase before they decline as thousands of young people graduate or finish high school. One of the problems some employers face is matching the potential workers with available jobs. For example hotels, fast food businesses and retail stores absorb a lot of the female workers. But it is more challenging for young men.

Not necessarily so. Government main sources of revenue is taxes. Which included taxes on a lot of what is spent by the millions of tourists that visit the country.

I saw a pigeon fall from a building and break its wing. It could not fly. Was looking around for a box to put it in so it could be safe for the night. Then this cat came outta nowhere and launched at the pigeon. And as like a miracle, the pigeon flew off and back on top of the building and away from the cat. Moral of the story. Y’all continue to sit around and wait for BPL to be fixed. Don’t forget they brought in one American company before to try manage BPL. And the result was more chaos and deeper debt. Try hard go buy one solar panel and throw on your roof. And gradually build your own solar power grid. When that pigeon ( BPl) see that fat cat launching at him, it will fix itself

Another mass shooting in the US. This time in a food store in Arkansas. Ten shot including a police officer. Three dead, including a nurse with a three month old infant. Shooter shot by police and taken into custody. He is a member of the community and known to his victims. This brings the number of mass shootings in the US to 230. Gun violence is usually deadly and affects everyone. Time to stop pointing fingers and become a unified force to fix the problem

Whilst you sitting here ranting and raving like someone on illegal opioids, do you know if it wasn’t for illegal immigrants in the united states, the cost of living in that country would almost double. Haitians and Mexicans included! The ‘de facto’ minimum wage in the United States has doubled since Covid because some people are still refusing to work certain jobs. Why do you think Joe Biden allowed ten million immigrants to enter the USband is now allowing them to regularise their immigration status if they marry an American and start a family.
.
. And certainly you know eightyfive percent of illegal immigrants entering this country continue on to the UD. So it would be futile for this country to spend more resources to strengthen its borders as long as America had an appetite for things illegal, be it drugs or immigrants or to ship weapons and ammunition in the opposite direction, to The Bahamas and the Caribbean, if only to fuel the fires of murder and violence. Sir Lynden Pindling said it best when he told Brian Ross of NBC during the Cocaine Epidemic : ‘you expect my lil small country ( The Bahamas) to do what a big country like America with all her resources can’t do and stop the drugs from flowing into the country ‘. You can’t be serious !’ Little did Pindling know who was really facilitating the flow of drugs through the Bahamas and into the United States. The so called ‘Wsr on Drugs’ was just e cover and a diversion. Just like is being done now with the ( Haitians) immigration problem.

Ok class lesson for today; TAKE your right hand and cover your mouth and nose. Adjust your hand so that you can breathe comfortably, but can barely talk. Yes in a muffled voice. This is how donald trzuMP, a convicted felon, will have to campaign for the November Presidential Elections. Still gagged after the trial judge refuses to remove the gag order, even after the trial had ended ( except for sentencing). America, home of the FREE ( slaves included ???) bJune teenth

The majority of the country didn’t want casinos either but the government decided to bow to the hotel owners who need to compete with the cruise ships. Only an uneducated person will call web shops leeches but praise casinos with the same breath. They operate on the same basic fundamentals and many tourists have to ‘hike a ride’ home and out of The Bahamas After they lose their clothes and their vacations in the hotel casinos.
