Mouth can say anything ............ if the Government can't get computers, furniture, cleaning supplies, or books in schools ............... how can Sweeting be talking about specialised sailing boats like lasers or native sloops????????
Put all of the NIB cards on the table ....... what did the NIB Board/Government do with OUR money that WE invested for OUR sickness/retirement/maternity/unemployment etc benefits????
The PLP needs to tell bahamians where did the money go from 1974 until now. How come the fund has $1.6 billion in the bank AND other "investments", but it will go belly-up in 2028???
We cannot just accept that we must PAY more into the pot, and that will solve the problem ......... That is voodoo economics
Based on what we saw last weekend, exposure is not the problem .......... Like everything else, the BAAA, all 242 schools, and those responsible for seeking and training athletic talent must recognize that a few track clubs in NP & GB cannot get the job done if we are to improve on 4-6-7 (17) medals in 2023. Home track advantage cannot help if there is no competitive talent.
The track club clique approach is failing ........... It will be up to the MOYSC to do something about that.
As far as the Carifta Games becoming a tourism money earner ......... I doubt that it will, based on what the Minister just said
By adopting the worse of other cultures. Negative copycatting ....... Not loving our own. Self-hate
Fifty years of independence and we are in a worse place than we were in 1973. That points to poor leadership and lack of national vision for the people to follow.
If a dealer buys 10,000 gallons of gas this week from the wholesaler for $5.00 and sells it, he makes $50,000. What if during the week it goes up by 10 cents? How much would that same 10,000 gallons cost the following week? Who is going to pay the difference?
That is how the dealer loses from rising oil prices .......
**Mr Gibson said various governments did not want to lose political favour, which was why contributions had not increased until 2010. However he said there must be an increase to sustain it.**
These politicians decided to increase benefits to pander to voters without increasing the contributions since 2010 .......... And use NIB to hire their friends, family and lovers etc. The accountability falls on the Board and the Cabinet ....... they can't run from that
