They need to do something to encourage a lifetime of fitness on the forces. Let the chefs work with UB to find a healthier way to make the things we like that also taste good.

I know how hard it is to lose weight. Its a whole deeper issue than just telling someone dont eat rice. But I do believe our military branches have an upper hand on most of us.

Theres enough money flowing into this country to alleviate all these problems. They would have us believe there isnt but there is. The first syphoning is at the gatekeeper level. How much shingles do you think are purchased every year by govt officials? Year after year the US State Dept issues a report detailing accounts of US businesses being victims of alledged extortion attempts for contracts. How many dont report and simply pay? How many unqualified people are employed causing blockages in productivity because they know a politician? How many MPs are on govt boards and in ministerial positions completely unqualified for a leadership role but in place because they have favour in the party? On an annual basis what is the dollar value of all this? Theres money to solve our problems.
"*They even suggested that such onerous working conditions could cause “trouble” among the Chinese workforce*"
I feel that some humanitarian organization needs to have regular checks on the living conditions of the chinese and the Turkish workers. They're brought here for one specific purpose, they have skills and theyre cheap, but under no circumstance should they live in conditions that amount to slave labour. The employer should ensure that their conditions are clean, sanitary, not infested with insects and food adequate. the same principle applies to Haitian labour brought in for large projects.
"*There is no need to blame whichever company any more now, as the entire situation and honour are at stake. There is no way but to fight."*
One of the things you have to admire about Asian business culture is their concept of honour, it trumps everything. "Failure", is never an option. This is admirable and generally a very good thing. "Generally" because they do in instances still end up with eye opening scandals
I think what theyre complaining about **is** a malfunctioning apprenticeship program, i.e., working along with a master craftsman who is being paid to complete work on the project.
The difference in what Ive suggested is the master craftsman is being paid to "train", not complete work. The trainees at the end or some other interval have to demonstrate theyve acquired the skills for the master craftsman to be fully paid
I think theyre talking about the people at the top of the skills list as opposed to high schoolers who are learning entry to mid level skills
Remember the statement made when we found out carnival was paying the ruling party to facilitate their operation? in other countries this "exchange" between a govt and a potential investor would be called a dirty word. In the Bananas it was described as "*when they in is their turn and when we in is our turn*". Then we want people to believe we not corrupt.
The carnival saga was brushed aside as just an argument over some kiddie rides but I believe it goes to the heart of why nothing ever gets fixed. Each party, and some individuals, are too busy with making money off of investors. The cruise gat more expendable dollars than Toby. Look at the email exchange between Leslie Bethel and Liu asking for payment for and Im assuming what could be something as simple as a phone call to the PM or Sir Baltron. Who knows, this may be why Fitzgerald thought it was ok to ask Izmirilian for a *mere* 20,000 dollars for "nothing". Ive always said when new people get elected to parliament they must learn all the secrets then hurriedly shout, *quick, shut the door before everybody see*. Again with carnival it was said, "*yall didnt know? This was going on for years, its an understanding*". No, we didnt know, you hid it, cause you knew no right thinking Bahamian would think it was ok
