Is there a word of truth out of Darville's mouth in this entire article? So, if we paid our health care workers a competitive salary, would we have this problem? Yes, or no Darville?
I grew up in the US, lived there for 45 years. I hesitate to go back because I may run into someone who voted for trump. Anyone who supports trump, especially now, is an idiot. Full stop. Anyone reading the papers recently? Trump only cares about himself. A leader? Please.
Rubio is a certifiable jackass, who has absolutely no principles. Expel the US diplomats until they start to treat us like a people worthy of respect. Canada is not sitting down and taking this crap lightly. Perhaps we should grow some balls too.
It is important to consider how we have been corrupted in both mind and morality. Please listen to the Nelson Mandela clip below. Better, listen to the full interview to see how far we truly failed in our thinking. The US is faltering morally, politically, morally, economically, and spiritually. Anyone who doesn't understand this has not been paying attention, or thinking. I would include the vast majority of our country. We have willingly absorbed the culture, the entertainment, the news and corruption of our neighbor to the north. Now, we pretend that we are independent and specially endowed with what it takes to do what is right for this country. Listen to the words of Nelson Mandela, and then find a politician anywhere, especially here in The Bahamas who can hold a candle to this great leader. They don't exist. Period.
"She said the government is working on these reforms in close partnership with the relevant stakeholders, including union members and the business community. Peter Goudie, the chamber’s labour division head, told The Tribune that while the chamber has met with labour officials, it has yet to see what the government is proposing. Dr Rolle, expressing doubt that such reforms will be introduced this year, said: “We need to understand we can’t just throw things out there because it sounds good. We have to understand the impact that it’s going to have on the business community and understand how this is really going to be done.” Really? As if, this government has consulted with any intelligent and educated business leader on any important matter. Again, all political pandering to an uneducated population that they wish to keep in the dark. And, they are doing a great job of it, yes?
This is about political promises nearing an election, to people who are unable to read and do math. The PLP, knows they are a failure, yet, like any good criminal defense lawyer would do, they continue to obfuscate the truth such that the limited intellect of those they hold sway over will concede, and then call them brilliant. This PLP government is not paying its present bills owed to many businesses in this country. Yet, they are making promises to increase funding for politically popular programs. Is the Bahamian public stupid? Why do we continue listening, and voting, for people who are promulgating these outright lies?
The only thing unsurprising about this nasty, seemingly illegal and offensive attempt at extortion of already struggling Bahamian businesses, is that Jerome Fitzgerald is involved. This PLP administration should not be voted out of office, they should be in jail. Each day, Bahamians who are capable, or those who have the stomach, to read our daily papers, are invited to read the transgressions of those we elected to represent us. The political establishment is unquestionably destroying this country. Why is the present PM surrounding himself with such morally questionable individuals? This is a serious question.
