But put up a story about Premiers next trip overseas, or why the country needs to attract more talent like Mr Clements and you lot would be all over it with 200+ posts. The biggest problem facing us is the lack of vision, or real macro strategy for the people who are now in the 0-15 age bracket, no passionate debate, marches to cabinet, or companies for their future. Just petty bickering about the person sitting beside you at work, who earns more than you do, or the neighbor who has a bigger house or car. It’s like Bermuda needs a catastrophic event to make us find some common sense and work hard to create a country that can be envied globally for the next 30 years. If onl we could movebfrom personal attack culture, to a culture of collaboration and respecting people, even those who dont take home over $ 1,000,000 per year.
