Agree looks like they re not as aggressive as the others. So in good times they probably have subdued gains but in bad times, minimizing losses.

Maybe he meant something else but If the context of his point is that we should have had it stricter for Bahamians but we couldn't because we have to have the same rules for all then its relevant.

In the 1,168 days, he has had the portfolio over gaming he could have said something like Section 50 of the Lotteries and Gaming Act (?) needs to be ammended because the same set of rules to should apply to all.

Are the same persons who were asking for the borders to be open the same persons asking for them to be closed?

Or did you read some on this board who argued for one and others who argued for the other?

Following the board, one can name the pro-open border posters from the anti ones. e.g. Proudandloudfnm and a few others have been against the opening.
My2cents and others have been for it. I haven't seen a few who have said one thing and then argued against it, but maybe they are out there.

I can find many politicians who did the same.they'll argue that as data changes so do opinions. the government's course change is one example

agreed. to a point. One can do all at the same time.

Many problems can be solved individually. However, when one starts taking proportional credit, they must then accept proportional blame. Consider this too. The precedent has been set with all of the powers exerted by the PM. So if they did things like closing schools, borders, shopping schedules and exercise times,, don be surprised if people don't expect you to implement another policy if you then say an action can cause community spread.

Plus debate is healthy in a democratic society. Everyone throws out their ideas, good or bad, and we collectively decide what we think is best. I am sure many on this board aren't traveling to Florida, ar are wearing masks and are washing their hands. So we can do both, our part in containing the spread and pointing out where we think policies can be better.

I am so so happy that the issue is not to load shedding. Even my appliances know the difference. My fridge was going to conk out but when it realized that it was a transmission issue and not load shedding it decided not to go bad.
