Sure you don’t!! Folks like you and @godspeed do all your research and information gathering using the King James platform with new updates every other century. Lmao.
The saying used to be when you dumb you dangerous, now it’s when you dumb you dangerous and dead. 300,000 plus new cases of Covid per day in India and they don’t believe in vaccines and mask wearing either. Go figure!
It’s not so much that employers like Scott treat their employees as personal property. Far too many Bahamians are all too happy to sit down with you and agree to terms of employment, then after one month on the job said terms are conveniently forgotten, “I een doing dat, you mussy t’ink I’se a slave ay? Dat ain my job bey! You want me do dat I need more money.” I going to da Labor Board! Such are the facts of life in the average day of the Bahamian employer.
As your employer I might not have the right to mandate your being vaccinated, but I can sure as God made little apples demand that you and anyone else wishing to enter my establishment provide me with a negative Covid test result less than five days old in order to enter. Obviously for the staff those weekly tests would be at their own expense, no brainer really, weekly testing at your own expense or free vaccine twice.
Same s...t, different day! The government, the government,the government. The folks in Ragged Island wants their homes rebuilt as do the folks dem in Grand Bahama and Abaco. The folks dem in Pinewood wants dey subdivision raised, da Potters Cay vendors wants new and improved stalls wid free fish and conch and the list goes on, the list goes on. Dependency on government for everything, even assistance to wipe dey behind. Been that way since Pindling time, after fifty years most of our people, especially Nassau people, still only gat one foot out da bush.
More noise in the market place. All Scott has to do, and be perfectly within his rights, aside from the wearing of masks and regular hand washing make it mandatory that each of his staff members provide a negative Covid test result every week, at their expense naturally, if they wish to enter his establishment to work. After a few weeks of paying for testing, the free vaccine might look a much more attractive option. Nothing illegal about that either as it’s exactly what the government requires of Bahamians when traveling within and without the country.
Much to do about nothing, more noise in the market place. All Scott has to do, and be perfectly within his rights, is to make it mandatory that each of his staff members provide a negative Covid test result every week, at their expense naturally, if they wish to enter his establishment to work. After a few weeks of paying for testing a vaccine might look a much better option. Nothing illegal about that as it’s exactly what the government expects from you to enter the country. Obie Ferguson and Wayne Monroe need to think about that.
The letter writer is entirely correct. Animal abuse is, and has been, rampant in the Bahamas. How often have you seen school children walking the street pick up and throw rocks at a dog that was guilty of nothing other than being in the immediate vicinity. These same school children pick up rocks and bottles and throw them at each other without a second thought. There is also no question that there is a correlation between deliberate act’s of cruelty towards animals and deliberate acts of violence directed at humans by others as evidenced by the mayhem and carnage on our streets and in our communities every day. We do have laws for animal cruelty but asking the police to enforce them is a complete waste of time as they are some of the biggest offenders, even going as far as to shoot caged animals on private property. These are those same rock throwing school children grown up and now wielding something more deadly than a rock. Over the last fifty odd years we have seen in the Bahamas a gradual but steady erosion of law and order, beginning with ignoring the enforcement of the more minor or petty offenses. That trickle has become a torrent, we have sown the wind and are now reaping the whirlwind!
