Terrible...Terrible tragedy...Not sure that this has happened in the Bahamas before...Let's ask the insensitive question - was she vaccinated?

What do you expect when Gov cancelled school for 2 years...duh..sane people that saw through the COVID crap called this out the moment schools closed...

whogothere says...

Can please stop talking about the most embarrassing failure of the modern medicine and politics. Restrictions do squat. And even if they did, we know masks and vaccination does nothing as well, actually more harm then good. So please just stop talking about COVID - it's over..

Nah...Correlation is not causality. The deduction the Gov is inferring and using to justify policy is that the reduction has 'caused' an 15% increase in vat revenue. This is a fallacy. Rather it correlates with a huge real estate boom and the fact vat is collected on property transactions. Increase in foreign real estate investment does not equal "improved equity in the domestic tax structure” as the finance minister argues but rather simply that the Inland revenue has benefited from increased demand and activity in the real estate market...presumable given the uncertainty in other markets...Sales volume is up 34% and property values are up 73% as of July 22. In fact it was disclosed by acting Inland revenue controller that Vat on real estate accounted for 31% of all revenue in the 11 months prior to May 22 - In a nut shell 'Nah' I call BS Minister. Too soon to say your tax reforms are successful...deduct those capital purchases and let's see what we're dealing with....

Godson I think you over estimate the presence of care givers and parents…in that vacuum there is space for inspiration and nurture (or destruction and distraction) …teachers hold the future on their shoulders - 6 hours a day plus extracurricular activities…shouldnt we be sure we are investing in the best people and facilities for the job..?

Incidentally one more murder and officially more people will have died of emotional human outbursts this year than covid...yes we still are clinging to masks in schools supposedly. We're spending millions on bridges to nowhere...chasing empty carbon neutral Ponzi schemes..and swimming in debt...with a populous that is broke angry and uneducated. The only way out of this mess is an acute focus on the kids - they are the future. Every available dollar should be invested in to securing and nurturing the best educational opportunities for our children so they are armed with the knowledge and skill set to make the best choices in every situation. Education fosters an accumulation of social and emotional capital that in turn accentuates economic growth and socio-political resilience.
