The government not COVID 19 is why NIB has problems. People paid in over their lifetime of work and successive governments over the decades have plundered NIB as a slush fund or government bank to finance things. NIB was there for exactly things like covid not for the government to sucks funds from it to fund its expenses.
You are right balancing your bank statement is a nightmare sometimes with these direct transfers. Deposits hit your accounts with no info and some obscure name like FDS LTD. or something and the business name is Orchard Seafoods for example and you have no idea what account to credit.
These people have no idea what problems eliminating checks will cause for businesses. Some businesses have to use check just for their own internal accounting sometimes. What about the government? Then there is the all to familiar oh gee the card machine is down. Are businesses supposed to give all their employees credit cards now or cash when sent to make purchases? Oh wait I guess the boss can just sit logged into the bank account all day doing transfers for purchases in real time for employees to buy supplies. If you get locked out of your online bank account it can take days to get back in sometimes. Should business just close down during this time? Credit card fraud? Weeks and months to get a new card. These people are retarded.
Emergency use authorization for kids now. WTH. What emergency? It is criminal what is going on. How many kids are sick now with diabetes and overweight from fast food? Yet nothing to see here go have another burger, fries, and extra large soda to wash it dow.
Bahamian here and I have been waiting now 3 years for a BL approval. 2 administrations, 2 MPs. 2 local government boards, and the list goes on. It is all bull shi$#T
And we still burning our garbage at dumpsites all across The Bahamas. Car tires, plastics, you name it. If we gonna burn it we could at least have a waste to energy power plant.
