He wants a liveable wage for union members notwithstanding the declining productivity of most union members, many of whom are illiterate for all intents and purposes and therefore unemployable by private sector businesses. Is it any wonder the already over-bloated size of our very costly and nonproductive civil workforce continues to grow?

The PLP only knows how to create job opportunities and job growth in the over-bloated, nonproductive and very costly public sector, never in the private sector. Meanwhile, lower and middle income Bahamians throughout our country are literally being taxed to death to pay for the largesse of elected officials in putting every undeserving individual possible on the government's payroll or the payroll of a government controlled entity.

LMAO

> “We don’t know what travels we’ll have in the coming year and until we understand it, it is an allocation. Doesn’t mean that it will be used,” said Mr Davis.

Yet the very cruel and deceitful Davis knows full well there has never been a single year in which actual government travel costs by elected officials and their enormous entourages have been under budget. And that includes the year in which the height of the pandemic occurred.

In fact, the actual costs have always been much, much greater than the annual amount budgeted for such travel, mainly due to the outrageous extravagance usually associated with so many of these foreign trips. Yup, Davis is indeed one deceitful SOB.

The greedy, sinister and evil multi- billionaire global oligarchs like Larry Fink, Bill Gates, George Soros, John Kerry, et al. have deliberately and systematically gone about creating a state of divisiveness and global anarchy in which they thrive by depriving all others. And let's not forget the exceptionally greedy and evil billionaire oligarchs who are behind the global military industrial complex.

Common sense tells you that the best way to create a society loaded with unstable mental basket cases is to break down all of its most important institutions, like marriage, family life, religion, access to basic healthcare, economic opportunity, etc. The evil forces at play are in general seeking to wipe out the much greater self-esteem and mental stability that comes with being a member of a civilized society. Small wonder we find ourselves living in an increasingly violent world. It's exactly what those who seek to rule every aspect of our miserable existence want.

Simon Wilson is only proving his lack of general business knowledge when he so readily asserts: *"Theres no country in the world where businesses can pick their tax year."* Perhaps he should be called on to explain why the corporate, partnership and other income tax forms of most countries require the tax filing business enterprise to specifiy its fiscal year if it is different from the calendar year.

And to think this dingbat bureaucrat has the temerity to say in the same breath that the government is committed to the “ease of doing business”. This incompetent moron is hell bent on destroying what's left of small and medium size businesses in our country which will eliminate many jobs and cause unemployment to spike to new record heights.

Oops! June 1 not June 30.

Whole heartedly agree with you.

Without properly educated children our nation will only continue heading in one direction.....and that's the wrong direction! It's really as simple as that, but what does cruel Davis care. Of all the people to appoint minister of education, he appointed the worst one possible, namely the grossly incompetent Glenys Hanna-Martin. Just unbelievable!!

Malcolm gets the Malarkey of the Week award, and I didn't even have to read beyond his first sentence.

Coming to The Bahamas soon......from the African continent via Haiti. And lengthy lock downs in the height of a sweltering summer will be the Bahamian government's quick answer to the first reported case in The Bahamas.
