It is very easy to call for lockdowns when one has a safe job paying full salary to work comfortably from home. It’s far less attractive an option for a small business owner facing ruin, or for the self-employed, facing ruin.
The government can subsidize routes that are economically unattractive. That will cost a lot less than keeping Bahamasair alive. As for the lower prices to Florida, you are paying the difference with your taxes. There is no free lunch.
Looks like Minnis is listening to Biden who wants to shut down the economy. The financial devastation of these shutdowns will be felt for many years to come.
"We apparently live comfortably with these risks everyday". No, we are not comfortable with these risks and that is the reason the world is moving away from fossil fuel. Have you heard of renewable energy or electric vehicles?
Exactly, BP spent over $60 billion in court fees, penalties, and clean-up costs. A penny stock can't take insurance for that amount of money, although I am certain that the executives have all the insurance necessary to protect themselves.
