Finances are always an issue for everything. Government debt building up for years. Honest and thoughtful Bahamians who try to live wise financially and practice family planning, give their kids a good education, etc. and by that make the country a better place - have their sacrifices and efforts foiled by a government that allows an overflow of immigrants to come in and tear down wages. The excuse is always "we need investment to make employment." What good does it do to have employment if we are not the ones being employed?
We would have been much better off with a current population of 150,000 Bahamians living the good life in 2020, than what we now have 350,000 people of who knows what living in a veritable garbage dump.
Of course, we don't have Swiss bank accounts like some of these foreigners - so our view is surely different.
At this point, the battle is already lost. A new government coming in that actually wanted to solve the problem could not do so - because foreign powers holding our debt would simply threaten them to raise the interest on that debt to 20% (or more) unless they do whatever they say.
The farm is already sold. When the cows die, there will be no more milk for us.
This may be the beginning of the end as prophesied in Revelations. In my opinion, anyone who stays and works with this system must be a Devil worshiper.
Wonder if anyone is considering that the more and more money they "save" by not having employees, the less and less people are going to have an income to buy their products?
If we are not on the list of countries that are opening - people won't know to come here. How can we get on lists like this? How can we let them know that we are interested? I see Barbados and Jamaica are on there?
My sources tell me that there was a 37 minute lapse in the order, and during that time 19 viruses were transferred from a dumpster on Peter Street to a dog who was urinating nearby.
Maybe some of the Mexicans who were flown into Abaco today are also doctors? Yinnah take-out food place - if you start getting calls seeing if yall is sell taco, check da number and see if it be PMH :-)
Reducing cancer causing toxins? Reducing global warming carbon? I can think of somebody whose initials are B.G. who won't be happy about that, along with several other large organizations whose sole goals are to create suffering and depopulate the Earth.
This guy is doing good things, and a lot of bad people won't be happy about it.
Those who think "it does not matter" whether China or the U.S. is supreme is very likely not old enough to understand what threat faced the world in World War 2. They have never stood in a food line in Russia to get a loaf of bread. They have never spent one hour in a Chinese prison. They have never watched a family member die in Venezuela because the pharmacy ran out of medication. They believe in unicorns and the Easter Bunny, just like China wants them to until they are painted into a corner and cannot escape. Then they will get properly introduced to the Chinese Communist Party and their view that freedom "does not matter."
Mr. Plummer I have read your writings for years, and respect you as a social activist - but please do not let China pull the wool over your eyes. There is no greater threat to freedom on this planet right now than China. Every penny that finds its way through trade (you, for example buying a couple of egg rolls or a pepper steak) will be converted and leveraged into a terrible weapon against your very existence. Those egg rolls are infinitely more expensive than they appear.
