... in truth, is there is a glut of low skilled workers at entry level in this country, that is the main thing that keeps entry level wages low. If somebody under-performs, they can easily be replaced. If people entering the workforce actually had some skill that would enhance a business, employers would be willing to pay more to retain those workers. The biggest problem in this country is that good honest workers are extremely hard to find! It is also the reason we have an inefficient civil service.
Good points, but a person can only do three things with money: save, invest or spend it. I believe it is more pressing to educate our people on learning the importance of investing their money instead of transferring it into the hands of those selling numbers, alcohol or 100% human hair, or moving it out of the country into south Florida. People also need to stop making poor choices that keep them in poverty (not getting an education and having children irresponsibly). Until people learn and apply the principles of managing their resources, an increase in minimum wage will not really help them!
If the FNM can get rid of Minnis, they can have my support in the next election. He may be the leader of the government, but he does not have what it takes to lead a country!
She is completely brainwashed by the human rights propaganda that was perverted by the UN and European countries (simply because it supports her alternative lifestyle ideas). What many of these dimwits don't realize is that by elevating individual 'rights' above communal rights, they will systematically destroy the very sense of community, traditional family values and morality that makes nations strong and gives them their individuality.
The purpose of this propaganda is to create a global community of like minded people to advance the globalist agenda. Does anyone really believe the UN has Haiti or any number of African countries best interest at heart? The ultimate goal is to obliterate national sovereignty and boundaries and exert control. The EU is only the first step in what will become a global experiment!
As a general rule I despise politicians who were inept while in office but want to project that they are enlightened patriots after being given the boot by Bahamian voters!
@ jamaicaproud… if Haitians were only trying to get to the US, we would not have such large numbers of them here, threatening our sovereignty! In truth, I would not expect you to understand!
Whenever a MP steps out from the government they are either principled or they have not benefited from a sweetheart deal yet. Time will tell which is which!
