... market forces should determine minimum wages, not the government. This is always a great way to increase unemployment while ensuring employees do more work or work longer hours for relatively less pay!
... as a black Bahamian, what this nation has become in my lifetime under these so called "heroes" makes me think we might have been better off still being under the British thumb. At least we would have had a better educational system and more efficient administrative system in government!!
... oh gawd!! This is the crux of why we are a fourth world country, people using politics for self service instead of national service! There should be term limits for all politicians!
... to me this is moronic and blurs the lines between a person's personal and business life. In order for a mother to breastfeed her child on the job she would have to take her child to work with her. There are other options like expressing milk and freezing it so the child can continue on breast milk. The gender pay gap is an issue for most women and this may be one reason why. Employers pay for productivity on the job!!
... the tears Minnis shed after the last election was because the Bahamian people did not trust him either. Nor did they like him! How quickly he seems to have forgotten!
... there is no valid reason they can give to a sensible person as to why masks cannot be worn in schools. 2 years of COVID has shown that children are the least vulnerable to its effects AND this is the weakest strain of covid now in circulation. These decision makers are clueless!
... illegal immigrants who die en route should be cremated. If the families here or in Haiti want the bodies, they should be made to pay for the autopsy and release for the bodies to be shipped back to Haiti. We have limited land space here for graveyards and dead illegals should not be given any of that limited space!
... it seems we are a social welfare state where the public purse is used to endear people to the government of the day. It is wrong! Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
... why in the world should children be given a jab for a disease that barely affects them at all and cannot stop them from getting the disease (as a real vaccine would)? No common sense in this administration!
