The minimum wage is only a threshold amount persons entering the workforce should be paid when entering. Our neighbor to the north is contemplating raising their minimum wage to a whopping $15.00 per hour, wow, but get this if the Bahamas imports 100% of its living, you think of it we import it, and then we have to pay duty on these imported goods which means we pay twice for the same goods. If in the USA they are saying that their citizens need $15.00 per hour - $600. per week to live, then a minimum wage of $6.25 per hour - $250 weekly is a joke. A person starts to work and wants to be independent and live on their own. Rent - A dump $125. - $150. per week. Groceries - Living very rough $70. per week Electricity, water, optimal - cable, vehicle, having a life. Anyone who thinks $250. per week minimum will be a disaster, should try it themselves to live on $250. per week.
The light at the end of the tunnel (**the entire Bahamas vaccinated** ) would be a blessing, but in order to get there, there must first be a real plan and a real timetable along with the truth. How can something so important be ordered and the exact arrival time not known and delayed without being able to give a reliable truthful reason why the product is late or delayed in the first place. **Starting** is a Great thing but **Finishing** is Everything. Skeptical, can they **Finish**?
So Roland symonette father of Brent symonette a white man was involved in illegal smuggling and became the richest person in the Bahamas, most black people don't care and have nothing to say, but let a black man start making money and they hate him for life. Mr. Fox is alleged to have, Mr. Symonette is documented to have done, stop hating on your own people and being grudgeful.
Rewarding delinquent and property tax duckers can be compared to coming into a country illegally and being rewarded citizenship, but then that's how we roll??????????????
