another runway? for what? another unbearable burden for the taxpayer.. i park by the water tank on jfk plenty sundays and i dont see all these flights that need another runway. dont they have 2 now anyway? probably not using them properly.. smh..
i cant believe bahamasair pilots have the opportunity to keep getting paid for 5 more years and need to negotiate it? thats the biggest raise you could ever get.. wow.
with at least 2 house members currently befire the courts fir matters, a dubious declaration is pretty small stuff. its the world we're in.. look at Trump...
it sounds like a panacea for all thats wrong but its a utopian concept. i don't see this in the reach of a small 3rd world country like us. how the hell can we expect all employers to pay all staff a minimum of $500 per week (according to UB study thats the nassau number)?
if we sell all the sorry loss-making government SOEs, stop giving contracts to bidders who dont insure buildings that burn down with the taxpayer holding the bag and stop giving these Unions outrageous contracts so you get voted in next election, no more taxes woukd be needed. taxation is the lazy man's solution.
SOEs can fir the most part be off the taxpayers by sellin them. why does govt have to own everything ? evidence is they fail because the temptation to put your fruends in charge and to abuse authority using them for political benefit is too great. socialism is a failure and we should try oir best to cut ties with that before we end up as another failed state.
small wonder we are $12bn in debt and climbing. the expectations for handouts and free stuff in this country is shocking. we can't keep pretending we can do same things as 1st world countries. smh.
