... its great tourists are coming, but I wonder if the authorities realize just how dirty Nassau is. There should have been a massive cleanup exercise prior to the anticipated surge in visitors!
... if covid numbers are falling and there are still many "unvaccinated" persons, isn't it time to have a discussion about whether or not we have achieved herd immunity by natural immunity? This just doesn't seem to come up with these "experts".
... these people all sound like clones spewing their progressive nonsense using the same buzzwords! There are already laws on the books to deal with any criminal matter that is of concern to them. We don't need any new laws to deal with those matters!
... this socialist approach to problems will destroy this country. Repatriate 5000 illegal immigrants or rescind work permits for people with jobs Bahamians an fill and that will create 5000 posts that can be filled by people who want to work. The country's debt level is unsustainable, can't these people get that?
... one can easily argue that in many respects we are worse off since independence, especially in education and social standards! THe same political class that has squandered opportunities for national growth since independence will be the same ones with clout in a republic with no net benefit to the country!
... irresponsible parenting, most ofter single parent homes is a social scourge and that is where we need to begin. GOvernment, the church and NGO need to work togeether to create progrmas that encourage discipline, personal responsibility and a work ethic, in order to turn things around, but that will never happen because politics drives everything in this banana republic, not forward thinking!
... that the so called "vaccinated" can get and spread and even be hospitalized from covid is old news. What is not being discussed is the superior protection against new strains that comes from people who may already have had covid. A spike protein "vaccine" from 1 year ago cannot offer the same protection against new mutated strains of the virus. Israel showed the effectiveness of Moderna and Pfizer dropped to about 40% against delta variant and now we know the old shots may be even less effective against Omicron. Before pushing people to take a shot that is waning in efficacy it may be better to encourge them to have antibody testing to see if they have already been infected! If they have, they have better protection than any of the shots can give and it lasts longer too!!
I would always tell employees that I pay for the value they bring to a position, NOT for their responsibilities. If you want more pay, bring more value, simple. The government will cause more layoffs and employees who have responsibilities will have to do more work for basically the same pay. The employer will not lose, the customers and employees will!
... thanks for contributing to inflation and increased unemployment 'Brave'. Thanks for increasing the cost of the tourism product during this recession. Seems these guys know nothing about economic principles. Sad!
