I can finally say that I support a Union president's stance. Well done Mr. Ferguson! it is rare to find a union president who can clearly see both sides and can work towards a favorable outcome for both his members and the Bahamas at large. Kudos! Kudos! Kudos! and much respect!
Prices will NEVER go back to even close to what they were a year or two ago. Whenever you see global inflation like this it creates a new bottom in pricing. Prices will normalize a bit, but only after global production and shipping normalize. Increasing Fed Funds rates to even 3% won't slow down inflation that much as the inflation we're seeing is due to shortages in the goods themselves - not increased consumer spending. What was left of the middle class has certainly been destroyed due to the current market conditions. Unless your salary goes up substantially this year your purchasing power will be significantly reduced.
Bahamian real estate is soaring out west. These crypto guys are buying/leasing everything they can get. If another company like this comes in we will need to build a whole bunch of houses, and quickly.
The line that pisses me off the most is "... repeat offenders continued to be granted bail." how in god's name can this be a reality????? Is there no room in prison for these animals or is it that the judges are somehow benefitting from letting them off?
And will Bahamians benefit in this windfall of money? Nope. It will be spent friendly contracts. An extra **billion** going into the consolidated account wouldn't help the average Bahamian. Every school would still be dilapidated and every street riddled with pot holes.
Summer? Who's gonna enforce masks when tourists don't even own masks anymore. They don't wear them at home, they don't need them to fly here and then we think our police are going to go around telling people, who they believe may be tourists, to put a mask on? Thankfully we now get a lot of black tourists which means black Bahamians shouldn't be hassled by this stupidity.
