He wouldn’t show such concern, as mentioned above he/party/hotel is fixated on profit. Feeling sorry or helping the less fortunate does need look profitable in the future. The reality is not goin change, politicians will put profit first, vote all u like.

I noticed that the Premier did not show one bit of empathy towards the 700 odd affected workers. Shameful.

I noticed how the Premier didn’t show one bit of empathy towards the 700 odd affected workers. Instead he used it as a chance to try and make him and his Party look good.

Shameful.

So we shut down everything. Even restaurant take out and delivery which stayed open in every country in the world to minimize crowds in grocery stores and more unemployment and business failures. Then 2 months later we fling open our doors and wonder where the customers are? Everyone is petrified as fear has set in as that is what they have been told. Good luck rebuilding in the short term.
Self inflicted disaster. Grocery shopping according to your last name?
Exercise within half a mile? Emergency curfews?
Now just open your doors and return to normal? Wow. Is that how business works?

You have to reassure the staff, owner, vendors and tourists that it is a smart move. You want him to fight the inevitable and give the investor doubt. Give me a break. When your child falls do you spank him or reassure him everything is gonna be alright. Time to lose that dumb mind ser as simple as that. It is a move that shows confidence in Bermuda and its people. If it is not why bother invest. Others who are thinking would run away.

Furbert’s comments are astonishing. Where is Hayward in all this?

Well, at least the PLP can spin the selling of Ascendant next as another positive on the pre-election propaganda campaign. Put Famous front and center on that one since he works in the control rooms keeping an eye on the Canadian assets

Another Billion debt for the party with no idea

Terrible and needless spin from Burt.

This is only bad news, we are in a real mess.

In a demonstration of how worthless our money has become since the early 70′s the entire place from shore to shore cost about $20 mill to build.

Feel sorry for the staff though with all the extended uncertainty since March , been through it 3 times already myself.
