Even if they do cancel all these permits, remember, the ministry of education is being systematically guyanazed. Jamaicans and other carebbean nationals have mostly stopped coming. they don't get work permits, they work cheap and are not pensionable. education could be a source of work for educated bahamians.
One way to cut costs would be to make professors teach more hours. They only teach 12 hours per week.
The rest of the time is supposed to be research, but most of the research produced are opinion polls which statistical methods don't pass muster: Bad, sampling, bad statistics, not to mention when the subject of investigation is outrageously irrelevant.
I believe the Price Control is acting according to the letter of the law. If not, foodstore merchants would long have resolved the matters before the courts.
Calling Price control agents "unreasonable" and "downright foolish" is a form of ad hominem attack, a fallacious argument.
If Price Controls did not exist, a loaf of bread would likely be priced as those one sees at Harbour Bay, $8.00 or $9.00 per loaf, and where one-half Deli sandwich retails for $5.99.
If there are enough consumers who can afford to pay $5.79 for one artichoke, why not just stop selling price controlled items and improve your margins?
