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!

... I guess no austerity measures are needed in these fiscally challenging times. Only the plebs need to tighten their belts!

... the best way to deepen our democracy is to not allow people like Mitchell to make a career in politics. No Bahamian should vote for any person who has been in politics for 10 years or more, ever. Politics should be a public service, not a career!

... it would be great if we could import more food products from the EU. Better quality at reasonable prices, but the quality of our tourism product must be improved ( more foreign language speakers etc) and we must have sensible strategies to deal with infectious diseases etc!

... one way for countries to address their debt is to advise China they will not be paying any outstanding debt to them because of the bio weapon the released in Nov 2019 that devastated economies around the world. No need for an international court, countries can just ignore the debt!

... I have always thought Minnis was an idiot. He has not made one decision that causes me to doubt my assessment. And to think, there is so much more we do not know about what he did while in office!

"*A variant significantly more transmissible than Delta would be a very serious threat indeed*."

Just because something is more easily transmitted does not mean its mortality rate is higher! This is evidenced by the fact that the beta strain was more contagious than alp[ha, but didn't cause more deaths and there are no known deaths from this variant at this time!

But the real question is what is their plan if and or when a more deadly strain arises!
