Bizarre... revenue projected to fall $900 million, foreign exchange reserves by $1.0 billion and yet no new taxes? Thank God for that given that we already have one of the highest cost of living in the world without the expected benefits that should go with that, but how are we going to pay the bills? Cutting out breakfast and lunch at the House? Bizarre..

Sands was fired for one reason, he listened to Obie Wilch.. if he had listened to some red shirt lackey, nothing would have been said. So when will renward go for his part in the LOI scandal at MOW under Davis? The one Minnis promised to pursue btw.

Poster above is correct.. no comparison between us and Cayman.. one of the biggest holders of US govt debt, currency worth more than the US dollar, national debt less than $1billion.. as to Dr. Sands , all democracies operate this way.. its absolutely quid pro quo. How can you only expect to take but not give? Its the way the world goes around. Observe uncle Sam, if you dont do what they want, they sanction you.

Testing is like old news, its just saying what already happened. We should just enforce social distancing and mask wearing and let life return to normal. No matter what we do, we will keep getting COVID 19 cases until a vaccine is developed. So lets get on with life befire there is no life to go back too.

'*Getting loss-making state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to a break even/cost recovery positio*n,' That has never happened. How could it possibly happen now? If it could, why did we not insist on it before? That option is a non-starter. Sorry, try again.

With oil prices set to stay below $50 a barrel for the next few years, i doubt BPC could make a case to explore and get to the market with a profit at that price point.

Its a hard sell to convince the average bahamian that these vultures who get paid for doing mostly nothing except having clerical staff fill in the blanks on form documents, then charging you x% instead of a flat fee, have hit hard times. This shouldn't even be news, its such an absurd claim. Lord have mercy.

Anybody who hasn't been asleep last 4 weeks, realizes this is just the beginning.. a lot more bad news to come.. make no mistake, our economic existence as we knew it is in very grave danger of never returning.

Unfortunately, small states are very vulnerable to external factors... EU blacklist, lists about who is or is not cooperating in war on drugs, now this blockage of equipment considered vital for US national security.. we will always be at the mercy of larger, more developed and wealthy states.. nothing can be done about it because its unrealistic to believe we can be self-sufficient in all thibgs.. so again, we pray for mercy.

Gov't really has to stop setting these economically disastrous practices.. isnt exposure to potentially hazardous medical threats part of their job? If that sounds like something you cant stomach, maybe wait tables or drive a taxi or some other 'safer' job? No wonder the debt continues to balloon. COVID going to bring everyone back to reality soon and its going to be tough to accept by many.
