You know, and now that people see how HEROES get treated - many will not be willing to step up to help next time. People like to be heroes; people don't like to be dogs.

So next emergency (of any kind - it may not be medical), we may be shocked that there is not the help that we expect. For example, let's say a bunch of building catch fire on Shirley Street like from one end to the other and the fire engines can't keep up - and some guys who have pesticide trucks and other trucks with sprayer tank say - hey I can put water in my tank and come down there and help.............but then they might say - well, yeah - but do I really want to be next years dog? Likely not.

"Imagine how many skilled medical professionals passed away due to the pandemic. Tens of thousands and growing daily. "

That is so funny. No, they haven't died. they quit because they were being forced to take the vaccine after having worked as "heroes" for over a year during the so-called pandemic. Now they are branded as idiots and conspiracy theorists for refusing to take an experiment thing called a vaccine. So they quit. Quit by the tens of thousands. They say if yall not grateful for us saving your lives, and in return you want to inject us with weird chemicals that may have unknown consequence - then you're own your own buddy. See yah.

True - but also employers know that there are only so many jobs out there for so many people - so they can treat people like dogs. You often hear the term "team player" - that just mean that in that job you are going to be a gopher who does whatever is thrown at you. Almost ALL jobs today have no job description - or if they do - it includes the phrase "and other assignments." Basically everyone's job is exactly the same - which is to do exactly what you are told exactly when you are told to do it.

Of course this leads to horrible job morale and terrible work ethic. Employers think they are saving money by paying people nothing and treating them like dogs - but all they do is upsetting customers and losing business. Most people in Bahamas ordering online now instead of going in (insert name of a business here) and either getting no service - or being served by a robot who is just saying whatever he thinks you want to hear so that you don't report him/her to his/her boss and get them in trouble. They truly have no interest in serving you and have ZERO interest in being employed by that boss except they got to pay their rent.

All of this LOST productivity - due to our old slave mentality just being applied by blacks against blacks instead - is transformed into REAL money and production being lost - and it all comes out in the wash - such that nobody has any real money or any real life. This is a downward spiral straight to HELL. Or did we already pass there? LOL.

Years ago, I used to say the solution was condoms. But if we don't breed like rabbits and have 10 children that are so desperate for work that they are willing to work for slave wages, then the government just lets slaves come in from Haiti to replace us. The same in happening in Europe and the USA.

Corporations wants slaves. If "developed" countries won't produce them, then they order the governments to allow them in without an concern for immigration law. I've heard that in UK and Canada the governments put such people up in hotels until they can be placed wherever they are "needed".

Of course, the media is busy assuring people that "The Great Replacement Theory" is a conspiracy. You don't have to believe or not believe the media. Just open your eyes and look for yourself. How many unemployed youth (over 18) do you have living at home with you? Simple question. Simple answer. Simple reason.

I heard that a monkey lost his socks and got everyone sick.

The slaves are revolting. It seems that $5.25/hour is insufficient to pay $250 light bill, $600 rent, $6/gallon gas, 9.8% NIB and 10% VAT 25cents withdrawal tax, and 45% import tax. Who knew? Why can't they just eat their rice and be quiet?

We have had no need for any foreign investment in this country for 49 years, no need for foreign teachers, no need for foreign police officers, no need for any "ease of doing business", no need for any ease of exchanging foreign currency, no need to remove restrictions on Bahamians owning foreign stock investments, no need on removing the 6% export tax and other red tape to allow Bahamians to export things and bring in foreign currency. No need to diversify economy. No need to put a few radars on Inagua. The only thing we have needed is very easy to get "farm worker" work pemits.

None of this has been needed - why all of a sudden people are hurting ? These slave workers just making noise for nuttin.

If the late 1980s the PLP government threw away the goose that laid the golden egg in Freeport. We had awesome teachers here from abroad that produced all the graduates that worked a Syntex, Borco, Freeport Power, Harbour Co, Airport Controllers etc - educated young Bahamians that went on to greatness.

Of course, greatness is simply not allowed for Bahamians - so these offensive foreign teachers were forced out of the country, so that our population can be kept ignorant - just the way the government likes it.

Now, instead of a goose, the chickens have come home to roost - cause that's all we can afford to eat - LOL.

Steven, maybe you should start a fund to raise money to provide FREE condoms and other contraceptive methods to all of these areas of the globe that contain many large 24 hour operation very productive baby factories. There are other things these people could be producing besides babies. Produce babies yes, but save some of their enter to produce food and clothing while they are at it.

Many rumors have spread that some nefarious rich people made Covid to reduce the global population. Apparently, knowing that horrible things are going to happen if they continue to overpopulate without any forethought of economics is not enough to scare these people into using contraceptives. Those at the top may decide that the next virus needs to simply be more deadly because this one was not deadly at all. 6 million people is nothing compared to the global population of 8 billion this December. Maybe the next virus will have to kill 4 billion people? Will these "refugees" learn then? Just wondering. They say that a word to the wise is sufficient - but of course for that to work the listener has to be wise.

"Most Bahamians would be shocked to know..." Yes, of course, because most Bahamians are simply uneducated ignorants who can't calculate 7% of anything. Most don't know what a percent is. They demonstrate their ignorance every 5 years when they vote for the same people who give them nothing and then another shipment of nothing and keep a full inventory of nothing. Why dey is ink dey fingah for nothing? Cause they ignorant and really can't afford a new t-shirt.

It is also just STUPID to increase NIB because a LARGE percentage of Bahamian workers do not pay nib contributions - you know - dem set what come up from the south.

So, the the VAT reduction to 10% was really just a cost of living cut for Haitians then at the end of the day. I guess we know why Brave was speaking Creole. Uhm.

Everybody pays VAT. If we need money in the Treasury, increase VAT so the load is lighter with everyone lifting. And keep it ON the breadbasket cause that all dey is buy. Increase VAT to 11% and relax.
