So when we reopen and cases rise again (since a permanent solution still some way out) , what then? Wouldn't it be better to figure out how to manage living with it rather than shutting down all the time? We might save a few people, but lose an entire generation due the massive debt down the road.
I wonder if it has anything to do with working for less than $1000 per week and not threatening to walk of the job whenever the ice cooler runs out of ice.. i wouldn't even mention the $400m investment.. haven't exactly heard about too many of us doing the same.. i guess its reality.. in a perfect world you make perfect decisions but in the real world, you make real decisions.
As much as i wish we could avoid this, i have to agree that GB needs a properly equipped and functioning airport and hospital. Its just sad so much money was wasted by successive incompetent governments that we have to debate the merits of investments that otherwise woukd be 'no brainers'.
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.

I agree with earlier post.. if person is deceased, what is the point of landing here? A possible resurrection? I mean the person is dead.
