THE GOVERNMENT have offered us a FAIRER Bermuda is that now too much to ask?
“THE GOVERNMENT have offered us a FAIRER Bermuda is that now too much to ask?”
A “fairer Bermuda” means the PLP Government taking money from me and giving it to someone who has not worked for their money. How is that fair?
Mr Joe Bloggs
I am asking BERMUDA to join in the struggle . that’s all !
As you often quote me, I carefully said “FAIRER BERMUDA” my thoughts were as i can not expect you to be a mind reader ,never the less my thought were as you like numbers %%% were with those who take unreasonable trickle down profit from their customers who suported the big business in the past .
We did that !.
Government got a little chink in its armour from me on taxes however some received with some small concessions not all.
IT IS NOT WHAT I NEED IT IS WHAT I WANT, NOW !
Mr JOE i want this ” inflation disease/ pandemic ” what ever we can call it to go away “.
What the position here is ,we have done nothing to deserve inflation and the more to come if we let it
I want Every one to be ready for the next recession
Where are this countries reserves ?
I want everybody to be part of unfortunate the problem and not be ~~~~~~~~~~. the problem .
if we do not plug the hole in the ship it will surley sink .
COME ON. this is not going to be FOR EVER !
I almost said i beg , I am saving that word till next week .
I want everybody to fight the fight for crying out loud , and win.
We here can not keep going on under this scrouge. Strong words, are well ment !
Donald Trump thinks he can, but he can not walk on water or part the. red sea .
Bermuda is a modern day noah ark with a hole in it.
The state of ” Fair ” is for who it has to be for in cluding the needy that could be debatable , but should we?
how do we know that the needy will share his food , they do that .
Do we know an unfortunate person whe we see one ?
Many can and do mis the hardship boat if to be be used for many situations other that of which I have listed above by aslik the public to comply because it affect the giver with helping hand and the receiver who has falen into unfortunate circumstances.
Make you wonder who is next?
it is un fair when money is given for other than charitable reasons. ” DO UN TO OTHERS ” as ……..
The scourge of any society is HUNGER.
“we have done nothing to deserve inflation and the more to come if we let it ”
But our Government keeps telling us that our inflation rate is lower than that of Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. Whilst most economists would consider our inflation rate impossible in light of the fact that we import more than 90% of all goods from one of those 3 countries, I am going to say be grateful that our Government can defy generally accepted economic theory and keep the cost of living here low.
“Where are this countries reserves ?”
We have $3.75 billion or so in current account debt and another $4 billion or so in unfunded public sector pension liabilities. We have no reserves and that has been the case for 2 decades or more.
