How’s your privy council appeal going? Are you able to legally discriminate against a very small section of Bermudian society yet?

Very little information from Government makes any sense because there is never any detail or facts behind the numbers. They get away with it because no one challenges them.

A lot of people would care. They like to know how things work, why things happen, and where things come from.

23Million by 900 is 25,555.55 by 12 month is only2129 a month. Guess they aren’t eating and paying next to 0 rent. A worthy attempt but we need much much more imo

Each time we have these sort of information, A huge $68m income being published I expect more acounting details meaning, how much was Income via Govt Fees, So the 23m from 900 persons means each person spent $25,555.00, how many direct investors were there for the $45m? Approximates of private sector income that is, spent on Rental/groceries etc… One may ask what does it matter?? I believe it is important to create True Data for proof of the policy being successful. If this is just short-term due to Covid or could it be enhanced to be the Implementation of a New Sector..mind you, Bermuda’s Cost of Living status is the Determining Factor if this being longterm/sustainable.

Just think how much better the economy would have been had the idiots not been chasing people away since 2000.

The PLP. Bad for business, bad for the economy, bad for Bermuda.

In an era where the goal of everyone seems to be to just criticize and bash, i think we can see that the implementation of this policy was beneficial to Bermuda’s economy. Well done.

How many previously long term tax paying residents were relocated to cheaper locations? Even Government had outsourced jobs overseas. $23m sounds fine but not if Bermuda lost say $50m from former residents, which is very likely in view of decline in the resident population.

It is said that when something looks too good to be true, it probably is.

The Government has a long history of being an alien to the truth & any good news figures produced by it should be thoroughly questioned.

I think these policies are amazing! With the tourism product dwindling, even before Covid, this is an amazing injection of cash and energy into Bermuda!

The idea started in Barbados. We just copied it.
