While I do not agree with us destroying our country to drill for oil. The US has oil rigs close to its shoreline all over the gulf which do pose a threat to us by way of the gulf stream flow. If they really do not want us to drill for fear of damage to the US east coast could there be some kind off subsidy or payment to us in lieu of us pumping oil? That would only be fair. If we are not allowed to access a natural resource if it exists by request of another country they they should be willing to pony up some cash in lieu of lost revenue.
One lock down spung on the population without notice followed shortly by another longer lock down. What could go wrong? I understand the need for lock downs to prevent the spread but, the panic this has caused by poor implementation and the mass crowds outside of stores now is more harmful than the situation that was going on before.
If we can't get a government to get our civil service under control, stop its geowrh, make it actually function, reduce red tape we cannot correct our downfall. The civil service is choking the life out of the private sector. Stiffiling growth, increasing costs, and making regulation after regulation that only the legitimate business have to follow.
I do not wish ill will towards others but to everyone that thinks this is the right and just position experience a Dorian. It is the only thing that might make a difference.
Prior how? It was implemented with about 1 weeks warning with haphazard crash courses from people who didn't understand the system themselves and was only in Abaco a meer weeks before the storm hit. The program was at that time full of bugs and glitches so please enlighten us when this acquaintance should have happened?
lol you do not just get a bond. If it was only that simple. You have to get one from a bank or some insurance companies issue them. Then you have to go back and forth between customs and the treasury department filling out paperwork getting things stamped etc. etc. It can take weeks to get sorted. Oh pray the only person who can do it has not stepped out or gone to pickup their children.
