Disagree moncur, because: 1) The Bahamas is far from "one term" from being set on the right path; and more importantly, 2) if you find this wonderful on-term PM who fixes all of our problems, he - or she - will only be replaced by an incompetent buffon (see Obama/Trump), who erases all of the good gains.

Moncur, sadly, this is not rhetoric. Whoever wins in 2022 will have to raise taxes. Simple math.

And in both cases they would be correct.

That's not the point bahamianson, don't be silly. They have a contract, which cant be trained without consent. This is really not a difficult concept to understand, unless you are a public school graduate, I suppose.

This has nothing to do with entitlement. They have a contract - according to Woods. IF this is the case then one side cannot unilaterally change the contract, except with permission from the other side. Woods is entirely correct here. Has nothing to do with entitlement...geez, how obtuse.

Actually, Hoda, generally speaking, the public school teachers are - empirically- much more qualified than the private school. In short, the teachers in pubic school are better than private school...period. Of course, the private school offers much, much more advantages (better environment/latest technology/more committed parents, etc.).

Mudda, is that you. :-)

That's not what he said, TigerB. Stop playing politics.

hj, I ask again: 90% of our tourists come from North America (source: D'Aguilar, budget communication). American are not travelling (source: cnn, fox, Bloomberg, Yahoo! Finance). Who exactly are we opening up for? Is the 10% residual (China/Europe/Latin America) tourist worth opening up the economy?

Serious questions: if tourists aren't travelling, just what are we opening up business for? Second questions: what good is it to be "open for business", if, due to COVID-19, we may have an influx of COVID-19 patients in our health system?
