Banana republic, we continue to be, regardless of who is in power. Good grief!

DWW, come on man, don't swallow up the rhetoric. You honestly believe that there is only 1 single case in The Bahamas? Stop it! I agree with mudda, who normally is the definition of "hyperbole", but, in this instance, he is correct. Social distancing policies should have been implemented from once we saw that the disease was immediately north of us (Florida), immediately west of us (Cuba) and south of us (Jamaica). No excuse for not doing so...none!

Tough to save - especially in The Bahamas- when the paycheck is low, my friend.

Under no circumstances should the names of the infected be released to the public. Utter silly garbage. Firstly, that would cause all kinds of lawsuits - health matters are private (ever wonder why we don't have a list of the HIV-positive, for instance?) Secondly, that would only lead to ass hysteria. Just look at the nonsense on these comment boards about the virus as evidence of that...and you now want to exponentially increase the panic by publicly revealing the infected? SMDH. Mr. McCarthy would like a word with you, sir.

Notwithstanding all of that mudda, what he is saying here is true. We are certainly on the highway to a recession. I don't think that can be argued.

The immigration policy, including throwing children in cages and deportation -save for the wall nonsense- is an Obama policy, actually. Strange, but true. Unemployment decrease is a direct result of Obama (cnn, msnbc, Department of Labor, have all empirically, i.e. with data, confirmed this). So, still not much for Trump to hype himself about. But, he sure loves his golf!

Oh this was such a good laugh....literally, I am rolling in my chair laughing. I nearly spat out my triple grande maple latte. The Tribune - standing for the underdog? hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Thank you, Kevin for this wonderful joke.

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.
