Watching, you are very much a part of the problem. You are not for Bermudians, just for your PLP masters, despite all the abuse and destruction of Black Bermudians trying to get by and make a living who are struggling or have left, you don’t ever hold the PLP to account. What does that make you? You are part of a fascist PLP gentrification, that throws trinkets at the working and middle class, while taking it back multiple times through other means from those same people. Take a serious look at yourself…life is pretty short on this world, are you making it a better of worse place for the majority ? Or are you so clearly focused on the few. I cannot judge you but, you will be judged.

You should absolutely give credit to our Premier and Finance Minister for creating an economy in which the price of goods goes down once they leave Port Elizabeth N.J. and in which the shipping lines do not charge to ship goods to Bermuda, but rather pay the importers for the privilege of shipping those goods (because that is the only way the cost of goods goes down between Port Elizabeth and Bermuda).

I say the costs of goods goes down between Port Elizabeth and Bermuda because that is the only way that our rate of price inflation is less than that of the United States.

“invest” is a politician’s buzzword for we are going to spend your hard-earned money with no demonstrable results.

I beg to differ. I would think it is because the economy actually IS doing well that the government will be able to spend additional monies on these programs.
I don’t get how people complain about these issues but then when they are earmarked to be addressed, then the government is criticized for addressing. It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t mentality.
I give credit to the Premier and government for this.

“If the economy was doing so well as Hayward says …”

Really?

Pretty obvious that any revenue from the Corporate Income Tax will also be spent/wasted on more *social* programmes. If the economy was doing so well as Hayward says, these give aways would not be needed. Just spend, spend spend. No maintenance, no repairs no new bridges just votes.

Burt talked about a balanced budget, since then he has decided to spend more money from our pensions or through borrowing in order to try to cling to power.

THIS HAS TO STOP! THIS IS WHY WE HAVE THIRD WORLD ROADS! A BROKEN CAUSEWAY, CONSTANT BUS CANCELLATIONS! A NON EXISTANT RECORDING STUDIO! A NICE NEW FLEET OF CARS FOR MINISTERS AND UNAFORDABLE LIVING in Bermuda. The PLP are creating this mess that they now want to put a bandaid on. It”ll wash off. There were plenty of jobs and opportunities before the PLP started abusing power.

Vote these abusers of power OUT.

Election coming.

These issues have been failing for over decades. Mental health has been ignored far too long as well as been neglected.
Seniors have been crying and moaning forever.
Safety with CCTV another area the people of Bermuda have been requested assistance.

We need new leadership and rebooting of misogynistic roles in parties. Look around the world and see major issues are our problems. Our roads are death traps our schools are failing our light has dimmed because of ineffective governance.

We demand leaders who want to make a difference not a buck
