I do not disagree.

Actually, the reason why our hospitals are full of non-Bahamians is easy. 1) Bahamian nurses make twice the amount in the US, UK and Canada (even adjusted for taxes); 2) Ridiculously better quality of life; 3) Removal of oneself from banana republic Bahamas; 4) Removal of oneself from black crab Bahamians - which most of us are - who hate to see other Bahamians succeed...
Nothing to do with a darn work permit.
But, my point to John was that you can't legislate your citizens into staying home. In the first instance, as you suggested, one must create an atmosphere conducive for Bahamians to stay home, then go from there.

tetelestai says...

What about them, John? Are you suggesting that the government should prohibit Bahamians from seeking their "life" in other countries?

tetelestai says...

Point taken islandgal.

tetelestai says...

Yes, I was. I paid it yesterday as a matter of fact.

tetelestai says...

Are these Bahamians aware that you can pay this bill online - from the comfort of home and free from pptentially contracting COVID-19?
We continue to show what a banana republic we are.

And just who does the industry expect will pay? Maybe they didnt get the memo that 17000 former workers filed for unemployment, not including hotel workers! But greedy Pattick Ward, et al, do not care. They just want their money. Shame, shame.

Get outta here with that nonsense. Go in the bush and hide with all the other thieves, robbers and miscreants. The temerity of you to type such filth.

Yes, you did make those spurious comments. And in response, I tried to explain - testily, I admit - why your comments have no economic reasoning, much less humane sensitivity. In fairness, you responded with a bunch of babble that was beside the point and, as you perhaps did not even understand, only proved my point. Axing workers, forcing pay cuts, et. al, will have no material financial impact in the short run. This is economics 101 observer (google : David Riccardo theory if you disbelieve me). If this awful situation persists in the long run, then we can revisit you arcane and insensitive remarks.

Given your 4 year old logic and 2 year old response, maybe being locked away from simpletons like you is a good thing!
