@SP, having already divested ourselves of just about all of our colonial dictators trappings, the wigs and gowns ain gone yet, it’s pretty obvious that our native dictators of the last fifty years don’t have our well-being at heart either.

SSDD, the union and the government trying to dictate to the private sector how their employment contracts should be drafted.

If you don't like Atlantis' terms of employment get a government job where erryting free even lunch, or call Keith Bell he ga get you straight.

This sort of nonsense starts at the top, why just a day or two ago the Prime Minister was tryin to dictate to a foreign Judge that they should drop the case against his numbers bankroller. SMT!

The Prime Minister has urged a US judge to end the federal authorities’ pursuit of Island Luck’s co-founder, writing: “I strongly advocate termination of proceedings against Mr Adrian Fox.”

The Prime Minister of the Bahamas trying to influence, i.e. put some muscle on a sitting US Judge??

That campaign contribution must have been larger that I thought, you can't make this s..t up.

Yep, slack is back.

It would appear that with hefty campaign contributions also comes amnesty and get out of jail passes.

Why aren't we surprised??

@ep242. Actually, what is insulting is armchair experts and "economists" whose mouths are far bigger than their brains.

Have you ever volunteered for any community service before? Probably not.

Have you volunteered to assist any of the NGO's in the Feeding Network like those Mrs. Holowesko Larson mentions in her letter? Probably not.

Have you volunteered to partner with the Rotary Clubs of the Bahamas in assisting at the many vaccination centers? Probably not.

Do you assist through your church in the care of the elderly and shut in? Probably not.

Have you ever provided financial assistance to any of the above? Probably not.

It is easy to criticize from your armchair and from behind your pseudonym providing only criticism but none of it constructive.

Rather, you should in the words of John F Kennedy, " Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

Unfortunately, in the Bahamas patriotism takes a back seat to politics.

Bodie’s fart catching and ass kissing knows no bounds, everybody in the new government is his boy now.

A minimum wage of $10 per hour is all well and good, but how can you justify paying that sort of wage to semi literate employees who only produce to the tune of 50 cents per hour and teif $100 worth at the same time?
The labor problems in this country go far beyond simply raising the minimum wage.

If you want to introduce programs to assist with poverty why don't you impose an additional tax on Flowers and Sebas dem to fund them as that where most of the impoverished spend/lose their money.

Dr Darville, our national dept now outstrips our GDP, if you’re looking for ways to spend money we don’t have why don’t you start with fixing what we already have?
