Local government is nothing more than a scape goat for Central Government. Underfunded and generally useless only to take heat of central government. Central Government overrides them every time they see fit and blames situations on them when it suites them. Local government needs to be properly funded and given teeth or it needs to be disbanded.
"then continue to enjoy your excessively sugared drinks with tons of chemically synthesized ingredients unknown to you; continue to enjoy your chicken deep-fried in heavily processed oils with ingredients you cannot pronounce much less know" Why are you not angry at these people who are unhealthy and taking up hospital space? What about the person who is at fault in a car accident? Are you angry at them too? The cigarette smoker? The alcoholic? You could almost boil any hospitalization down to being the "patients fault" and the "patients choice" in almost any case if you want too.
For all my 40 some years of life I hear all the time PMH has no space, is overcrowded, girls using ambulances to go to proms etc. This is nothing new since covid. You anger is very misguided. I am very sorry for your loss but, you are also very misguided in asking a healthy 20 some year old to get a vaccine that has not finished the clinical trials that science requires in any other situation to protect someone who has had in your words a wonderful 99 years of a great life.
What is the guidelines and criteria that must be met for the tyranny to end? No one seems to want to state what that might be. No cases? 10 cases per month? Week? 0 deaths? 100% vaccination rate? effective therapeutic drugs? What is the end goal? What is the measure of when this foolishness can stop? This should be made mandatory in this legislation. The goal posts always seem to move.
How can we grumble about climate change when we are trying to drill for oil, building oil refineries, and promoting and pushing as much as possible the cruise ship industry which is one of the biggest carbon emitters in the world? Oh and basically have done almost zero towards building green energy production.
You are right. I also forgot the mandated smart tracker on you phone so if you do not walk X amount of steps per day and do X amount of jumping jacks you cannot buy food in order to save lives. It is being done all for our own good so we can live in a "free and open society" lol
Abaco was booming pre Dorian and Freeport was suffering. Why adapt to their business model? I agree the duty free exceptions need to continue for another few years.
