In this case, the labour laws are not one sided but, rather the laws performed as they should have and as it was the intent. The law exists so that miscreant employers or corrupt and biased politicians cannot arbitrarily make people redundant. The behaviour of the politican, in this case, is what should be looked at. Not the law.

Yes, she would have and it would have been derelict if she were not do so. What was done to these Gaming Board employees was cruel, heartless and, most importantly, illegal.

He is right though, Mudda. Current tax system is both regressive and unsustainable. That is Econ 101. Income tax, for all its warts, is by far the most equitable tax.
Your point regarding wasteful government spending is fair, but not enough to permanently separate ourselves from this crippling existing tax system.

Might I suggest spitting it out at this current FNM administration?

Yes, because the FNM is blameless in all of this...bloody rubbish!

Does not mean he is wrong, oh most perfect one, sheeprunner.

Banker, it is a pleasure to read your comments when you post. Allow me to disagree with your view about the legislation, however. From what I read - grant it, I have no inside information - the proposed legislation appears very much a light touch, seemingly allowing firms to both form and operate very quickly, easily and inexpensively - and certainly compared to Barbados! Care to share your specific objections? On another note, the tech hub idea was bloody silly and he, of all people, is not the right person to oversee it.

Sigh! Tribune editorial and the facts have no relation. In other words, "liar, liar" Mr. Tribune editor. Second paragraph...I heard Brave's sound bite and he did not say that the PLP will not do anything about it. What, in fact, was said was that the PLP could not say that marital rape would be a priority item. Brave then said the pressing concern - rightly so, as the Bahamas is the 6th most expensive country in the world, if you believe the reports - is the economy.
Look, the Tribune is a slightly worse version of The Punch, but you can at least be truthful...even in your editorials.

A note about Shenique's show, if I may. Preface, I have no idea - nor do I care - whether the demise of her show was due to "politics" or otherwise. I am merely commenting on the show itself, which - quite frankly - was not a very good show. Shenique's command of the English language, for a journalist, is amateurish - at best. Her diction and ability to pronounce words is substandard, and that is if I am being charitable. Her command of topics that she is supposed to be discussing is basic, surface level and without an ounce of nuance thought. For example, her interview with Brent Symonette regarding the leasing situation was uniformed, ignorant and again, amateurish (I am NOT speaking of the politics of the situation, just the questions that should have been asked by a journalist seeking information about a situation for listeners). Finally, like so many new talk show hosts of the day, there appears to be something fascinating with speaking informally, off-the-cuff, jokingly, apathetically. As a talk show host, one's job is to be serious, direct, probing - not "yucking it up" with one's guest (most talk shows are guilty of this, by the way). Shenique's show, in my view was simple at best and, in all honesty, it is no great loss that the show is gone. Perhaps a more informed, professional can take that timeslot and provide the critical analysis that we need.

They are also subject to an education that many of them would not have been able to afford otherwise. Which would then lead them to "knocking about" in Nassau, with no hope, no education, no sustainable job and then having people like you casitgate them for being the product of a "D-average" system. I think I will take the former.
