what a relief that a taxi driver leader no less stands up and says what the rest if us already know. very encouraging.

it's really the height of hypocrisy for government who have BPL in a mess for this same kind of decision-making, to now expect URCA to force GB Power do the same thing. aren't businesses allowed to make a profit and plan for plant and equipment replacement?

I respect Mr. Christie as a former Prime Minister and wish him the best.

price control is a tired socialist practice that has long gone. let the businesses compete on price and government should watch and make sure they aren't colliding together to fix high prices.. you achieve that with severe financial penalties for anyone caught doing that which fir these guys epikd start at $100,000 first offense. that will keep things in check

Socrates says...

what happened to that age old tradition where if you don't like how things are you pack up and leave? it never ceases to amaze me how people get hired and all of a sudden they think they have the right to tell you what to do... did they change the definition of employer and employee?

Socrates says...

Socrates says...

will we ever live to see the day when protectionist policies, won't be how our businesses exist?

this wasn't known when the port was designed and built? ports are multi-decade projects not 2 or 3 years so surely they should have known where the industry was headed, more lack of planning or lack of vision.

Socrates says...

Thank God for the Privy Council and some sane rulings ... you know what to expect unfortunately once we go the republic route.

this is all very nice but who exactly is this US organization that seems to prefer bahamians for recognition? is this some kind of PR group? nothing against Sir Franklyn, who I think deserves his honours, but it's just curious.
