Awesome good news! Yes, while we have a long way to go we’re doing really really good Bermuda. And it takes everyone to do good. Everyone to help in one way shape or form. I’m talking the lower socio economic, the blue collar worker, manager & white color worker, the higher socio economic, the privaledged and non privaledgd. All of us have a part to play. We can do this but it means with EVERYONES effort.
GOOD to look over some bright news stories again, keep it up Bernews.
