More money has been coming into this country under a PLP government than any other!

As demonstrated yesterday, OBA will sell Bermuda quickly to the international community than caring about the long term well being of Bermudians!

40 in 2009, 45 in 2010 and more business are incorporating this year than 2010! Your reply OBA people stunk! Like many markets around the world Bermuda is facing economic difficulty…however jobs are on the way!

As is typical with PLP policies … rather than make something straight-forward and easy to follow they consistently screw it up by introducing verbiage, complexity and unrealistic targets which the civil servants and Ministers charged with the overseeing its implementation will find impossible to do.

PLP – saying more and more and doing less and less since 1998

it will have too many what ifs and howevers that it will be dead before launch….all electioneering by people who have no clue as to how to write logical legislation..the only thing that will wake up IB in Bermuda is a large catastrophic event of epic proportions that will cause rates to rise and capital to come in….so far this year is one of the worst ever and there have been a few companies set up but no where near enough to fill the gap caused by the Ewart Brown/David Burch regime….The PLP must be given credit for the way they give the illusion that they are doing something in the lead in to an election….The OBA have much to learn as they appear to be sitting on their hands thinking they have it won when I see it slipping away from them…..

I have visions of ranch hands dressed in PLP green chasing after the horse with the IB blanket on as it gallops through the paddok gate.

Too little too late. Too many hoops to jump through for any real benefit.

Y’all were warned by many but you ignored them all. You did not think IB would abandon Bermuda.

Think again then thank the PLP for ‘making it happen’.

Minors failed at delivering a Tourism plan and now fails Bermudians and International business in one move.

Unfortunately much of IB will not invest in Bermuda until PLP is gone. Hopefully IB will not have a long wait.

This policy is a dead duck and will not stop the haemorrhaging of the international business communities exit. You can’t stipulate you have to have this many bermudians to quality and that many dark skinned van drivers etc etc. You can’t dictate to the excempt firms. when you do they leave and you get this progression towards a banana republic with a low standard of living. It’s just a matter of time before the government capitulates.

Why don’t these politicians realize that we are not the only place on earth to do business? Do they do any research at all? What is it going to take for them to get PROactive instead of REactive? Bolting the door after the horses have left the stable only leaves us with empty stalls and the retreating sound of galloping hooves.

so what if IB says screw the regs of hoops and loops…this will still increase our cost of doing business in BDA…why not put up a wide screen monitor, a few well placed IP cameras and remote operate from anywhere in the world…beach, mountain, where-ever, and if you need to move from the office have an entry level IT guy do a remote hookup on a laptop and visually see and been seen anywhere a body can be…meetings by proxy, yea i know, not the same as sitting at the big over price boardroom table, but what can be done in person that can not be done with this remotely used equipment other than physically slap the guy next to you? Wake up BDA, these guys don’t have to be here….they want to be here…

The kicker for IB will be equal pay and benefits for non bermudians and bermudians….too expensive for them….many already have 80+% Bermudians and could not afford to pay them the same and give housing etc that they give to ex pats….I wish they would but know they wont….keep trying though….
