Bowe and the socialist PLPs believe the answer to everything is more and more big government. Nothing beats the free market.. Capitalism, competition. There are always folk willing to compete if they believe they will get a fair shake.. Government deciding everything is not the answer... Check Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, etc. Socialism is dead, we need to accept that reality here and move on...
thats all well and good that legal action is the last resort but this mentality is also the reason delinquincies are at 75%, nobody pays property tax, banks are saddled with a high rate of non-performong loans, contractors dont pay when the building burns down and they had no insurance, bec has hundreds of milions in debt, etc. i think u get the picture.. a country where it seems nobody pays their bills...
My impression of Davis is that he is wishy-washy. You never get a straight answer to anything. It's no comment, let's wait and see.. Etc. he trashes official data that doesn't jive with the way he would like and like the rest of his colleagues does not release any supporting documents to allow you, the general public, to read and draw your own conclusions on anything. In this case, he wants to be PM but doesn't have the guts to say yes, I think it's time for a change. SOS, duck, dodge and be evasive. Say what you will about Ingraham, but nobody ever had to wonder where he stood on anything,,, that's the kind of leader these times demand, decisive people.
banker is absolutely correct.. the chinese like Asia, USA and Europe... if we could get 200 a year we would be lucky.. hell we cant get english people and other Europeans here and they are only 8 hours away.. add in our xenophobia and who will you get to speak Mandarin and Cantonese.. those D- folks eont cut it... dream on...
this is the worst case of professional suicide i have seen for some time... here is a lawyer telling us dont trust the legal system because you can pick your judge and verdict... oh my.... things in the banana republic are worse than we imagined...
no small country has the skill level and population numbers to support continuous, significant development.. you need outside help... we dont want it so we get what we deserve.. nothing...
Consistent power cuts have been a trademark of BEC (now BPL) since its formation. All the useless governments we have had consistently failed to anticipate power generation requirements despite all the 'projects' that were needed to provide jobs and grow the economy. It's the height of incompetence and general slack-ass attitude institutionalized in government and government related enterprises that have us where we are in 2016. It endures to our collective shame...
Previous utterances by Mitchell suggest he is a closet fascist. He believes only he and a flock of close associates have the unfettered right to say what they want and do as they like. He seems comfortable with the position that government need not share any information on anything so members of the public can draw their own conclusions. He has definitely gone a long way in the wrong direction from the days of the PDF and those entertaining releases he used to make under the tree downtown...
