Its hard to determine what the PMs convictions are. Im pretty certain that he's generous to the people in Cat Island, Ive heard enough accounts about that. But other than that I dont know. He reads eloquent speeches crafted by a master writer about innovation, climate change, transparency, accountability and teamwork in cabinet... but there's no evidence that he believes any of it.
On the other hand, there are multiple instances proving otherwise, the most shocking being that the individual who spoke up internally about anomalies at Immigration, because I have no evidence she spoke externally, is being punished by Mr Davis with early retirement. That is not the action of a man who believes in transparency, accountability, innovation or stamping out corruption. Its the action of someone who believes in secrecy and having very tight control to facilitate them doing whatever they feel like.
Im also troubled that the PM has appointed himself the sole authority over the carbon credits fund. Ive no evidence that it will hold a dime, but he believes it could hold billions and he's made himself the ultimate authority over it.
As the editor implies, his actions are horrifying tells
You're correct. Investors with preference shares get first dibs at everything. I'm going to go out on a limb that the people I'm referring to, dont have preference shares, but I could be wrong
Not sure about his English or if its important, but people are equally impressed by the words that come out of Brave Davis' mouth on climate change. Meanwhile at home the practice of cutting down hills for fill and allowing oil distributors to have secret deals on fines continues. Dont mind the nice speech, someone else likely wrote it. Dont mind the wealth it's on the backs of hundreds of thousands living in abject poverty
How impactful would it be if every single person who filed a complaint with the police in the last 5 years stood for 5mins to read a graphic account of their ordeal... one after the other, nationally televised and the commissioner, the governor general and all MPs had to sit and listen. Something is **wrong**. Sometimes this place reminds me of the war torn Africa accounts where people are just kidnapped like it's nothing and our leaders just give a "*I havent heard a complaint*". What if this was their or wife or son? Women, teenagers young men, pummelled, punched, body slammed, beaten with bats and belts, fishbagged... some mysteriously dead and noone in the station saw a thing. Where is Marvin *Pratt*(?) Taken into police custody and never seen again. Disappeared off the earth like he was nothing. And now they get points?
This week their was alot of discussion about our educational system and the number of children failing. Where do these failing people go? They lead us. It's a very frightening thought.
Not at all it was in response to your statement "*was a loss making venture, which seemed to stir the "Angel Investor" into action."*..., I repeat, the investor is not entitled to a return. If "loss" stirred them, its probably why they lost the case
Based on what's in the public domain, only 3 businesses successfully raised their minimum req. Tropical Gyros used the funds to open a 2nd location which I believe they reported some 2 million in profits (vaguely recall), Dr Danny Johnson has opened his medical facility with the money he raised. Red Lobster had some press release about a Trinidad opening not quite certain when the Nassau location is coming on stream
That's pretty good record for such a small country. Now for persons who've bought shares in those companies, its an investment, theres no guarantee of return.
ArawakX has nothing to do with the success of the business, in theory, there role is to create a marketplace where buyers can meet sellers. They do their due diligence to ensure that the sellers prospectus is sound, but they have nothing to do with what happens in 2, 5, 10 years in the actual running of the company
