well i dont know if its just cash. i took money (bank check) frm one of my bank accounts to put in a different bank here where i have an account, and despite already proving to 1st bank where the money came from, and despite having a bank check from that bank to deposit in my next bank, guess what, 2nd bank wanted to know 'whats the source of this money'. so its more than cash they are dealing with.

we won't be bullied? lets wait and see. gov't always talks big then when the unions call their bluff, they give them everything including the kitchen sink.. thats why they behave the way they do.. they're used to having their way and callng the shots.. need to thank SLOP and AD.. started with them..

the tail can never be allowed to wag the dog. it follows that management's job is to manage as directed by the owner(s). Employees are just that, not consultants. someone needs to send these organized labour groups, who would be called crime families in another context, a message. Reagan did it to the air traffic controllers and the new man in Zimbabwe to the nurses. if you let them all go, the sun will still rise and everbody would know their place in the structure of the company again. order would be reestablished so to speak .

something has got to be seriously wrong with the distribution network. there is no way a single failure should lead to an island-wide blackout. so the root of the problem has to be a lot bigger than 'equipment failure'.

people traveling at other folks expense will always be an issue. even in America they have questions about these things all the time. so lets not waste too much time addressing something that will not be fixed.. work on finding some jobs and lowering cost of my power bill. that would be time better spent.

if these issues are top of the list for attention of our 'leaders', things are a lot worse than i thought. my God..

price control has no place in a capitalist society. competition and the market decide the price of everything just like the value of your house and your salary. if there is no demand for your skills or your skills are readily available, you get paid less. thats the way it is. price control, like most other socialists inspired policies, should be abolished. what we will need is effective oversight to ensure no price fixing collusion in any area of the marketplace..

i'm sure all the concerns expressed have been raised elsewhere. just find the solutions and apply as necessary. frankly i dont see massive solar panel farms or windmills or anything else so while these may be preferred options for some, i think its all pretty much unrealistic based on where we are as far as our development is concerned..

his concern is how they will keep those inflated contracts negotiated over the years that could never exist in a competitive environment. for sure adjustments will be needed or jobs cut and they're not ready or willing to face that..

again how does this happen? are there engineers who design the specifications required? who vets the contractor? how was this shoddy work not picked up by whoever inspects for gov't and who was responsible for the project? same old story..
