doesn't matter what place the contract says disputes would be litigated... Sarkis formed companies in the US related to Bahamar and still could not use that system to his advantage when he needed it... can you rely on anything these days? i'm not so sure...
the union, one of the last bastions of socialism has outlived its usefulness... thet have operated like highway robbers constantly extorting money from employers under threat of collective withdrawal of their services.. this is the 21st century, a new world order. sooner these folks accept this reality, sooner this country starts to move.. dominican republic, haiti. all doing better. shame on us...
payment of graft is an institutionalized and accepted practice in our political system. indeed how many times have we heard the expression 'its our time now'. the only wrong is to be caught. good thing we are a christian nation otherwise imagine how corrupt we would really be.
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...
