Progress is not creating a situation or a problem , wait a few weeks then pat yourselves on the back for fixing it.

let me put this another ways .

Lots of people got their walking ticket then the rest wonder why there is nobody avalable to do the work.
Loss of revenue , is sad, but is not funny .

Agreed but the exodus of Bermudians is being replaced by people, mostly in IB or very wealthy, who have no connections to Bermuda but are providing tax revenue but equally increasing costs locally, so the PLP have shifted their Bermuda for Bermudians to anyone can come.
Bermuda will become like the Caymans, more expats than locals. A few years ago there were demonstrations against this, but not any longer as the PLP won’t admit they were wrong.

It is not just the exodus of Bermudians that is the problem. It is the exodus of people generally. The Minister says things that appear to correctly identify the issues of a shrinking workforce and aging population, but then he cannot offer a solution to the problems because to do so would involve admitting that we need more people to work and live in Bermuda.

Hardly surprising bearing in mind his resume, and not much different to most of the other PLP MPs. Just political babble and sound bites aimed at the voter base while the exodus of Bermudians continues.

What an embarrassment. Our “Minister of Economy” continues to publicly demonstrate a complete misunderstanding of key economic theories.
