the hospitals were not closed.

non-emergency care was suspended.

BTW emergency services were suspended in certain areas of florida, i just heard on tv.

i have no problem footing this bill.

better than wasting on carnival to keep some fat cats in style.

and remember also, a small business does buy in bulk quantities so sometimes pays higher prices.

in the Bahamas, the wholesaler also functions as retailer sometimes, thus being able to charge less.

but there is another reason people claim price gouging: different products. Let's say the cheap tuna is gone, and now you have to buy albacore tuna, you then call the radio station to say you paid 2.50 for the tuna instead of a dollar and claim gouging.

but truly, the prices are gouged any time of the day.

We rise: Because sheet floats.

Poor teachers, now they are being blamed for bringing the country to a state of collapse and the high murder rate.

What crap.

The bank employees have never gone home at 3pm. They stay at the bank working till 5pm or later, except the bank is closed to the public.

Your premises were wrong to start with, and now it is even worse.

Why don't you organize a march to have teachers work longer hours for the same pay and bring some plp politicians with you?

Nod is the land where they make some sugar covered breakfast buns.

they export it for christmas.

Absolutely. Long Islanders are known for being polymaths, drawing on complex bodies of knowledge to solve all problems.

But they are still going to finland to get a free trip and perdiem.

the issue has always been one of compensation, teachers would have to have to work shifts and another set of teachers need to be hired,

the work day does not end at 3pm for teachers, they have to mark, and evewn schools which use online tests, the teachers have to set online tests.

those students are sub-standard, why bother to rank substandard.

and do not tell me about vocational stuff, car mechanics and masons and construction workers need to read well and do good math.

that is what the top private schools do. they adopt curriculae from other countries.
