The people are definitely corrupt. MOST people vote because they expect to get something of monetary value in return. And they proud to say it! My MP in I get a contract!

I wonder if we'll ever be able to determine if the odd long term effects are from the vaccine or COVID. i suppose the easy answer is how many people with the vaccine got long COVID

"*saying “it boggles the mind” to believe that criminals would deliberately hurt or target the tourism industry.*"

It actually doesnt boggle the mind. Criminals go where the quick easy pay off is. They dont care if you Brave Davis, remember? or a tourist

*reach to Silicon Valley*

Draper university **is** physically in silicon valley. I wonder if this is the pitch to the hungry young actress promising a plane ticket to Hollywood. Maybe it's not but too many organizations are popping up feeding off the hunger of people and the new entrepreneurial fad. Add buzz word "crypto" in the mix. Buyer beware

"*Be a Startup Hero in 30 hours. 15 days live online program; 2 hours daily, first hand connections, networking with over 50 Silicon Valley experts and mentors, and entrepreneurs from 30+ countries*"
- one of the Draper university course summaries

While any opportunity to expand knowledge is great, Are these people simply being offered a trip to California to participate in another *SBDC style program* at Draper university? Is this another *become an entrepreneur honey pot*?

"*And **I indicated before that a crisis is something which springs up**, which you’re not necessarily prepared to deal with. But again, as I indicated, it is a more complex problem, a challenge*"

**Do these people have google? Or do they not have fingers?Trumpian doubling down on stupidity again... Wrong, a crisis can result from a gradual build up**. The key ingredient for crisis is it puts a strain on resources. Ask the hospitals, defense force, schools, social services and your immigration officers if this is putting a strain on their as ability to execute their regular function. Then you have a crisis.

**Saying a crisis is something you're not prepared to deal with is also wrong**. How uninformed are we? A patient in cardiac arrest is a crisis. Hospitals deal with that every day** **Crises aren't the illusive unicorn, they simply require strong leadership, immediate, swift and decisive action. None of which we exhibited to allow an illegal structure to grow by 150 acres like we didnt know. Failure to lead.

**Take some advice from that safge old guru Justn Bieber, *Act like you know***

2/3? 1 person is an increase of 2600 annually. It was said that Bahamar employed 5000. 2/3 would be 3300 people at a cost of 8.5 million per year. If their electricity bill went up by 8 million they'd be screaming. But if they're making 100mil in profit they may see the loss of 8 to minimum wage as justified. Dont know the staff complement at Atlantis.

What do security officers get paid per week? I dont believe this is nothing. It will affect the companies with greater percentage of low skill workers. 10 employees at minimum wage is 26000 extra expense per year. If you were only making an annual profit of 50,000 that is a gigantic blow. I do not think they performed a full economic analysis on this to understand who and how businesses would be impacted

You've missed the point that "recovery" is all going towards digging us out of the very steep hole we dug in 2020/2021 that's why when were back to 2019 revenue levels, all things remaining the same, we'll still just be at 0 growth.

The problem I find is the people they're listening to, one expert was talking up 1% growth in 2019 as if we were doing great. "Any growth is good" is "technically" and "splitting hairs" correct, but not really, 1% is better than 0 bit it doesnt pass the "good" bar unless it is predictive of an upcoming growth trend, which it wasnt. I cant figure out if they really believed that was a good situation or they just didnt want to be on Minnis wrong side. The danger in the go along to get along analysis is, if the administration was listening to that person why would they think they needed to try to do any better? Today we gat a different group PR-ing everything, is Davis getting good analysis by which to make decisions?
