Our government only cares about staying in power (passing it around their circle of peers PLP/FNM doesn't matter, it's the same group) and making money for themselves and their friends. Every action and decision is made based on this.
Yes, why is the government/enforcement allowing buildings to be occupied and businesses to operate that aren't up to code and without insurance? If insurance companies don't want to insure, then that means there's something wrong because they will gladly take your money if their risk calculations show they will get more money from insurance payments than what they payout in insurance claims.
It's a joke. They need more people paying into it than taking out of it, plus more to pay for their cuts, operational costs and inefficiencies in managing the money. The way these programs are supposed to work is 1) working people pay into it, 2) that money contributed today is pooled together and invested intelligently (not spent today), and 3) at the time of retirement, that invested money has grown significantly to pay the person who once contributed.
Currently, the way it's working 1) they've already mismanaged and lost the money of the people who are currently withdrawing, 2) NIB is a complete mess, 3) NIB immediately spends current contributions paying retirees and operational costs and losses, 4) no investment of the money, 5) they need more people (aka NIB wants more money).
Let it fail. and refund+interest all contributions of people who haven't had a chance to benefit from it yet. Why should the people be forced to contribute to a plan that is mismanaged and regularly threatens that it will not exist when current contributors are old enough and need to collect a pension? Let people keep their money if the program can't do any better with it.
Our government is so jokey. The US Embassy in the Bahamas makes a significant announcement about the Bahamas being an official processing post for Haitian applicants and our Prime Minister responds as if the Bahamian government knew nothing about it.
It's good for the consumer to have companies competing for customers. Compete Cable Bahamas! You have a head start operating in the Bahamas. Lower prices, improve service, reliability, etc..
