The blogmaster replied to retired trade unionist Facebook post titled Barbados Exports to Caricom and the World:
Robert Morris you have highlighted maintenance issues we must confront, however, you did not address the inadequate capacity as a country to earn in order to satisfy conspicuous consumption behaviour and generate employment opportunities.
Robert Morris replied:
David King, Sorry to repeat. You point out ‘conspicuous consumption behaviour’, as a major problem. Should we try to earn to satisfy that or to curb that? Give examples and strategies to curb.
The blogmaster replied:
Robert Morris we cannot continue to rely on the existing economic drivers of fickle tourism and international business. We definitely have to curb our taste for foreign, weaning Barbadians from champagne taste will require a re-education of our but it must be done. Improve mass transit (expand TAP), stop importation of all new vehicles effective midnight. Significantly subsidize inputs to producers of food and others generating forex. Aggressive adoption of alternative energy systems and energy efficient vehicles (waive duties). Scholarships to Barbadians in areas of learning that mesh with national strategic objectives. Agree to a period of five years to suspend the Constitution and install a government of consensus. Create an audit of skills in the diaspora and encourage them to participate in a think tank, reward them with 30 year bonds conditional on goals achieved. Etc
Robert Morris replied:
David King Barrow: champagne taste and mauby pockets? You did put your suggestions, my readers are free to comment.
The blogmaster did not expect comments from Robert Morris’ Facebook ‘friends’. As our good friend who Pacha introduced to the blog Krishnamurti opines- the politicians wont listen, the poor man wont listen, the deeply dogmatic persons wont listen. We are all conditioned to fiercely defend what we know, what we have been conditioned to internalize as our reality. The result is an activity humans have become synonymous, divisive behaviour.
The exchange reminded the blogmaster about the predicament the ongoing pandemic has forced on us. It is approaching two years since the novel coronavirus was reported. There was a rush to supermarkets in order to stockpile food and other essential AND non essential items, governments ordered lockdowns…etc. To stay afloat businesses created opportunities to do business by implementing ‘makeshift’ online ordering systems, curbside pickup or delivery.
There is the saying one should never let a good crisis go to waste. As soon as there was a decline in coronavirus infections many local businesses reverted to the traditional face to face model of doing business. Several years ago the government encouraged senior citizens to receive pension by direct debit, there was the usual push back to change. How many of them had to suffer because of Covid 19 induced delays when cheques could not be delivered and financial institutions closed or experienced long wait times attending customers? The point: government and private sector two years later should have implemented state of the art electronic ‘store fronts’ to facilitate purchase of goods and services,
The environment continues to demand we change behaviour; how we do business. Why are our leaders in civil society stoking discord to satisfy selfish interest? It is a zero sum game after all, you win the country loses. Then again, why are we surprised, the politicians convince themselves and the people that they have the answers but history shows they know not.

King David u made some very good points on changes that are necessary for economic activity to build and transform a country economy
However when people lose faith in govt it becomes almost impossible for govt to present a message or messages of transformation to the people
There is always the sting of distrust being felt which was left because govt did not deliver on its promises
Take the issue of Chinese Houses listen to what people have said about govt undermining it’s people ability
Also take a look at a govt overload on always first looking towards outside interest to build an economy
Then pray tell when people see how the head controllers or managers of a country undermine and divide a country by bypassing the people first and looking elsewhere how is it possible for govt to undertake a massive physchological transformation in the people’s minds which is necessary to help build an economy
Talk is cheap however it takes more than words to enact on a people what is right
Leaders must lead first by example
@ David
Isn’t a ‘Shadow Cabinet’ appointed by the Leader of the Opposition?
@Artax
All Barbadians accept the DLP is the effective political opposition in Barbados. Atherley will be no more come 2023 or thereabouts.
All of these things mean zero without inspirational leadership. And I mean in all sectors including the political. All we now have is noise. Throwing things at the wall and hoping something sticks.
Nobody can clearly articulate where the country/ region is heading.

@William hit the nail on the head.
There is zero inspirational leadership running Barbados at the moment so all we will get is status quo.. Tell me, after 3.5 years what has really changed in Government’’s manner and substance of discourse.. NADA
The frightening thing is that the leader of the DLP commands even less respect and star power..
A real leadership vacuum indeed
The leadership vacuum is at all spheres of civil society. We have the tendency to focus on only the political, therein lies a big problem.
David September 5, 2021 7:28 AM #: “All Barbadians accept the DLP is the effective political opposition in Barbados.”
I disagree.
But, I’ll be the first to agree the DEMS are keeping more noise than the official Opposition Leader and his PdP.
The lady can appoint who ever she wants ‘to keep some noise and throw things at the wall, hoping something sticks.’
The fact remains, Verla DePeiza is not the Opposition Leader nor the DLP the official Opposition. She is just the leader of another political party similar to how Grenville Phillips II led Solutions Barbados, Alex Mitchell and Bajan Free Party, Neil Holder and Barbados Integrity Movement or Mark Adamson and the People’s Democratic Congress.
What separates DePeiza and the DEMS that merits them being treated differently from those leaders and their political parties?
She should concern herself with presenting her vision to Barbadians and the DLP’s socioeconomic policies for the future development of Barbados, rather than being constantly in ‘criticize mode.’
The reality is, we must learn to coexist with COVID-19, because it is ‘here to stay.’ By now the DLP and the other political parties, should’ve formulated policy initiatives to deal with a pandemic affected economy…… and hopefully, a post pandemic economy.
Not what a ‘DLP foot soldier’ was trying to convince us that Verla criticizing vaccinations is an articulation of policy……. but sound, innovative, progressive policy initiatives. I haven’t heard anything from anyone in any party………. not even Mia Mottley and the BLP.
Not even from the private sector………. they’re too busy creating innovative methods to beg for ‘handouts’ from the Treasury.
@Artax
You are saying majority of Barbadians regard PDp as the official opposition?
The blogmaster is not debating what officially is the case, there is a nuanced situation given the 30-0 result and the contrived opposition to avoid a constitutional crisis but the DLP is regarded as the political opposition.

Please note you wrote, “ALL Barbadians.”
I do not “accept the DLP is the effective political opposition in Barbados,” and I’m sure there several other Barbadians who share a similar opinion.
No problem Artax, it is a non point anyway in the scheme of things.
David BU i agree with you totally.Bajans generally see the dems as the opposition.Rev Atherley , Mr Franklyn and the rest of the PDP will be history come 2023.They are just ennoying the moment in the sun for now in my view.The problem with the Dems is that the leader does not inspire any confidence and will struggle to win a seat.Furthermore they have yet to c0me with anything of substance in terms of a policy for any area. All they habe done is to be critical of everthing thst is not a policy.Finally i think the dems have made a good move by bringing back Mr Richard Sealy their one shining star in tourism from the last administration..I gone.
People of / in Barbados seem to have consistent constant or periodic moans about their Government which raises the following (double loaded) question
Question(s):
Is the Government of Barbados really bad or is the people moaning really bad?
And, is this an either or situation or a bit (or a lot) of both?

@ David,
I will throw this story into the mix. Please note that the UAE is a country that we have, bizzarely, entered diplomatic relations with. It is a country with a terrible human’s right record particularly towards black African migrants.
Is it true that some of our citizens are been encouraged to take up employment in the UAE? If so has our government considered the potential perils faced by their citizens should they take up any potential economic opportunities within that country.
How will the UAE police make a distinguish between an African and a Bajan if they are being racially profiled?

The Barbadians packing their bags have choice, they have made a decision to agree to work in the UAE. For your informations many Barbadians already work over there.
I Lol when I hear the blp footsoldiers on BU asking Depezia to articulate a policy
They seem to have forgotten that when present govt was in opposition they daily diluge of anti govt policy was met with harsh and ongoing criticism by Mia Mottley
No one ever thought that on becoming present govt
The first order of the day was for Mia to default on govt debt
No one ever thought that with all the ongoing daily criticisms of past govt Mia would have run to the IMF with cup in hand
No one ever thought that Mia would dare hire Chris Sinckler to be placed on an economic board
No one ever thought that taxes and fees would have risen to a higher level
But then again Mia kept her mouth shut on policies criticized day and night and pretend that the opposition of the day would change and make lives better
As a,matter of fact I have heard less criticism from the Verla about this govt antisocial policies activated on the people as that which Mia circumvent in the minds of people which she initiated and in so doing people were willing to belive Mia every word and March with her in the hot broiling sun against govt policies
TLSN…i won’t even bother to enlight the ignorant know it alls in the parliament….they think they are taking the arab countries and Africa by storm…they believe in their own abilities of bullshitting their way through everything….they just got a wake up call with Nigeria, but i doubt they are deterred…they are slave master manufactured negros and feel they are unigque and invincible…let them carry on smartly.

@David
You actually outlined the only solution unfortunately…..Barbados focuses on political leadership as the source of all direction and inspiration…..We can all agree it should not be this way but unfortunately it is.
So if we want change we have to manage within the reality of the culture…change will ONLY come when there is a charismatic change agent leader in Barbados to execute it…no other societal leader can do it…”it is who we are”…
It is also why 2 trillion dollars and 20 years of nation building did nothing to change Afghan culture…in less than 3 weeks we are back to medieval rule…it is who they are”…and not even 2 TRILLION hard dollars can change that

William Adolphus Skinner
Only questions.
What is this thing called inspirational leadership as you see it?
Have we ever had it in Barbados, if so when and who were these inspirational political leaders?
What has such an epoch of this “inspirational leadership” achieved which endures to this day?
What are the requirements to be an inspirational leader within the political space?
Do you have any examples in mind, with competencies to deliver the transformation sought?
Is inspirational leadership consistent with political duopoly as practiced in Barbados?
In other words can inspirational leadership and political duopoly coexist?
We’ll have about 100 more questions but would not want to be unduly overbearing.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Oh dear angela cox you are really ‘spinning’ that ball!
That’s one googly delivery which not even your ‘friendly’ nemesis Artax can ‘read’.
Your kingpin fan in London must be real proud of your recent performance(s) on the BU pitch.
If there is one yard fowl which the DLP must promote to ministerial glory when it is returned to office, eventually, it must be our own BU “ac” the arch-critic of the now bedevilled MAM administration.
Not even Willie Skinner would be opposed to such a move in the Bajan duopoly political party game of musical chairs.
The mere fact that MAM, sans her big red bag, has to resort to the ‘unique’ skills of Stinck-liar for guidance on matters of finance and economics ‘only’ proves beyond a shadow of doubt that your previous deceitful lying administration was indeed on the right path to the economic perdition of your once well managed country.
It’s time you (and your Ataraxis) advise the poor Verla to concoct her own version of “Rubbing Shoulders” in order to get the soon to be ‘empty-bellied’ people on her side.
Karma can be a bitch especially when you are bitten by your own ‘hungry dog’.
“As I stated Verla Depezia criticism of govt has not been one of the same level as Mia who spared not one minute of time to criticize past govt policies.”
And, “as I stated” previously, “when ignorance gets started it knows no bounds.”
Surely thine ignorance hath even gone beyond thou being able to recognize it.
Not only are you unable to understand people have gone past the petty, adversarial politics……….you’re now comparing the level of criticism between Mottley and DePeiza.
Seems as though you believe progressive political strategy means holding a political meeting in Bush Hall near the National Stadium, and rather than defend their tenure, while articulating policy initiatives………. each candidate took turns in cussing Mia Mottley.

Any dogma based on the view of the venerable Krishnamurti is part of the problem. It is just a narrow interest that helps to feed division by humans.
Human beings are one of the great apes. Therefore, fundamentally, we are instinctly animal by nature. On top of that, we have built a society on social darwinism and adversarial relationships. No amount of pacification and sophistication is going to overide our true nature: conflict and self-interest.
@ Miller September 5, 2021 3:21 PM
Perhaps it’s you who ‘misread the googly’ and was trapped on the front foot, only to be given out LBW.
Firstly, I recall sometime on Saturday, April 11, 2020, Mottley said she invited former PM Owen Arthur and former DLP Finance Minister Chris Sinckler, among other ‘distinguished men and women,’ to join ‘government’s’ newly established Jobs and Investment Council.
An invitation was also extended to former PM Sir Lloyd Sandiford, who unfortunately had to decline because he was a bit poorly.
Sinckler was Chairman of the Trade and Logistics group. I’m sure you’re aware he has a MSc in International Trade Policy and was the Executive Coordinator of the Caribbean Policy Development Centre (CDPC).
Perhaps ‘government’ wanted to draw from his expertise in that area, rather than “resorting to his ‘unique’ skills for guidance on matters of finance and economics,” as you suggested.
Secondly, as it relates to angela cox’s comment about “bringing charges against the PRESENT OPPOSITION claiming Depezia is running a political campaign of criticism against present govt.”
The ‘People’s Party for Democracy and Development’ is the PRESENT OPPOSITION…………. NOT the Democratic Labour Party.
Also, it is a FACT that, rather than concentrating on providing Barbadians with alternative socioeconomic policies, ‘every imagination of the thoughts of Verla’s heart has been only criticisms continually.’
And remember, this is the SAME Verla who, when she was a government Senator of the former DLP administration, used to REPEAT the DEMS mantra, ‘stop criticizing and bring solutions.’
Please be reminded, criticizing vaccinations, for example, is NOT an articulation of a COVID-19 policy.
These are FACTS that CANNOT BE REFUTED.
@ Artax September 5, 2021 10:32 PM
“Please be reminded, criticizing vaccinations, for example, is NOT an articulation of a COVID-19 policy.”
The opposition is not only fighting the vaccination campaign, but is also to blame for the many Corona deaths in Barbados:
First, the DLP led Barbados to independence in 1966, so we are now short of vaccine. Much less vaccine doeses than lucky Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and all the grand Dutch and French overseas territories.
Secondly, the DLP supported the anti-vaccination riots in the inner city four weeks ago. The fact is that many participants did not wear masks, presumably to spread the virus.
Our Supreme Leader must finally act and prosecute the opposition!
@Artax
You are reminded that in our adversarial system of governance borrowed from England the job of the political opposition is to promote a dissenting voice.
Don’t know what it will take for people to learn that you DO NOT NEED small island misleaders for anything and you SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT follow them anywhere….you were coerced into believing they were needed POST SLAVERY/EMANCIPATION and everyone ran with that deception…….which turned out to be a lie just like EVERYTHING ELSE……they are TOO treacherous and have done nothing but elevate themselves and those who help them commit anti-Black crimes…..
they cannot escape that fact…i would be ashamed to give them credit for anything except for the corruption and destruction they bring to Black/African lives….which is all theirs and they should own it.
too many Black people accept disrespect.
the government is enbling this clear rip off of consumers….and that’s only when they don’t enable the rip off of the treasury and pension fund….and each and every crime is directed at the majority population and has for over 55 YEARS..

“You are reminded that in our adversarial system of governance borrowed from England the job of the political opposition is to promote a dissenting voice.”
I thought it was the job of rastas to provide the dissenting voices.
The political opposition are simply actors who are a part of the establishment and their dissent is a part of a show that gives the illusion of democracy.
Barbados was never a nation it was an outstation and one of many plantations.

“Yes I am and rightfully so especially when the blp brigade has audacity to point fingers in another direction even when one of their fingers points right back to them.”
I was going to let it pass, but it caught the interest of another blogger and as result I cannot get it out of my head. My exercise this morning is to point one finger at myself. Not as easy as it sound.
I saw and read the article by Ezra Alleyne today and wass immediately full of regret on finding it.
First he apologized for aging Verla and then provided her exact age and birth month.
Secondly, Verla is not yet 50 and so we have two possibilities
1) his article was written a month too early. Personally, I believe it should not have been written.
2) His hypothesis that being in her 50’s, Verla is ‘too old to become PM’ is nonsense. He then goes on to point out that Mia was 53 when she became PM. How can you believe a man who thinks that at 53, Mia was in her 40’s .
This hypothesis that you must be under 50 to become Prime Minister is utter nonsense. If you are brutally honest, you would have to admit that having these underage PMs has not benefited us in ANYWAY. Time for us to get an older and wiser head at the wheel. This under 50 nonsense was not worthy of publication.
His description of a yard fowl read like a true confession.
Alas, my infatuation with Michelle Russel is over. It was my intention to not comment on her contribution but as I did so for EA, I had to mention her as well.

I am appreciative of the efforts of the blog master in stimulating the conversation. I would urge him to be careful and throw raw meat (only) over the fence and to keep these dry bones for himself.
Give me a few more months and I will move from critic to being a contributor.

“2) His hypothesis that being in her 50’s, Verla is ‘too old to become PM’ is nonsense. He then goes on to point out that Mia was 53 when she became PM. How can you believe a man who thinks that at 53, Mia was in her 40’s .”
Theo …they will drive ya mad with their unintelligent, illegible, uneducated backward bullshit…for your own sanity…press the IGNORE button often , while cognizant that ALL OF THEM ARE JUST LIKE THAT…
unfortunately, be they underaged or over aged, they all spew the same colonial derived ignorance, including what other stupidity they themselves came up with, and the older ones are even more slave minded but no less DANGEROUS…
they are the 11 plus FAILURES…everything they touch turns into a slavery theme…nothing progressive or FINANCIALLY/ SOCIALLY uplifting for the majority…
@ TheOGazerts,
There is a place called Diaspora Corner where your aging brain will be stuffed with knowledge and the sight and sounds of pulchritudinous female singers.
@Hants
I check in DC quite often. Getting there requires some effort.
Also I found an app that allows me to listen to brasstacks quite easily.
Thanks.
@ TheoGazerts,
I trust you saw the ” DC ” in my comment replaced the ” HC ” and the ” aged brain ” replaced the ” tender brains “. lol
Hello:
Long time lurker; first time poster (after this post, it may be my only time too – time will tell)
@ David, Blogmaster:
WTF is this?
“The opposition is not only fighting the vaccination campaign, but is also to blame for the many Corona deaths in Barbados:
First, the DLP led Barbados to independence in 1966, so we are now short of vaccine. Much less vaccine doeses than lucky Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and all the grand Dutch and French overseas territories.
Secondly, the DLP supported the anti-vaccination riots in the inner city four weeks ago. The fact is that many participants did not wear masks, presumably to spread the virus.
Our Supreme Leader must finally act and prosecute the opposition!”
I am wondering, does this dithering jackass EVER bring ANY. PROOF. OR. EVIDENCE. to support any of the dumbassery he spews all over this blog?
I am aware that racist, fascist scum don’t believe that facts are necessary, or even desirable, when they go off on these pseudo-intellectual rants but “the DLP supported the anti-vaccination riots in the inner city four weeks ago.”
REALLY?
And the writer of that entry knows this how?
The DLP is not a monolith, so who were the members that WERE PROVEN TO HAVE SUPPORTED THE “RIOTS”?
Please, list them along with their documented, verified statements of support for the march, you dishonest fucktard.
Where is your proof, you rancid piece of shit?
As far as is known, the marchers wanted to have a sit-down with the “Supreme Leader” and, it seems, the whole farce was just a ruse to get her attention.
Please, correct me if I am wrong.
As I said before, I am a first-time poster and I am aware that this is a right-wing blog, but Blogmaster, these delusional rants of the most egregious kind – calling for political opponents to be imprisoned inter alia, and you, a supposed fighter for the inclusion of all voices, have nothing to say?
You just let this kind of drivel go ahead without any kind of pushback whatsoever?
Some commenters write using satire. Be guided according when perusing the blog.
My Dear Elon,
I would hesitate to call this a right wing blog. I have been here for some time and without any hesitancy state that we have a mixed variety of nuts, with some nuts claiming to several types.
Concerning, the blogger that you directed your comments on. He is also of a mixed type, sometimes quite normal at times quite funny, and at other times quite extreme. I would suggest that you read his post at least twice to get past the shock value.
Welcome.
I am having a good day
Not going to share my happiness with nobody
Too much finger pointing
Xxxxx
The reference of ladies age in politics ascending to higher positions
Only would come our of the mouth of low life feminist pigs the likes of EA

Hmmmm……..
Likewise, “my comments goes to point out the HYPOCRISY and ARROGANCE of DLP yard fowls and their quick response to bring charges against Ezra Alleyne,” especially if one takes into consideration when the DEMS launched their 2018 election campaign with a political mass meeting in Bush Hall, near the National Stadium, at which DLP candidates and spokespeople took turns in cussing Mia Mottley.
We did not HEAR one word of CONDEMNATION from angela cox, nor did she describe those individuals as “low life feminist pigs.”
Instead, she LAUGHED and ENDORSED their BEHAVIOUR.
I’m also reminded of the time when a DLP operative leaked information from former Transport Board employee Lisa Marshall’s personal file to BU, to insinuate she stole money from the Board, simply because she asked about her severance pay.
Not only did angela cox ENDORSED the operative’s actions, she joined with him to TARNISH the name of her fellow woman, while remaining ADAMANT Lisa was a thief, despite there wasn’t any evidence to prove she stole anything.
Right-wing blog!

Xcccccccccc
Duh is this your grannmuruah RH response to my comments given the context of the issue having to deal with woman and age in politics and by which low life feminist pig EA thought it best to raise the bar when woman use their skills and political knowledge to ascend to high office
Well I cannot see or understand how u took a issue about age and transformed it to campaign attacks by two rival competitors
However if u think that EA was in full right of taking a stand using suttle political mouthings to attack Verla period of age which highlights her to be of older generation then u are no better than EA
In any case he was wrong
You’re ‘making a mountain out of a molehill’ and ‘scraping the bottom of the barrel’ in the hope of finding something to criticize.
Ezra Alleyne, BLP + Verla DePeiza, DLP = “TWO RIVAL COMPETITORS.
Alleyne mentioned something about DePeiza’s age………. and you spent several months on BU trying to convince the forum Mottley was practicing law illegally in Babados.
Which is worse?
You need to grow up and get a life, rather than confining yourself into a political bubble and coming on BU with childish, one dimensional political criticisms and complaints.
By the way, you ‘said’ you don’t read my contributions, but hear you are trolling, cyberbullying and cyberstalking me.
I’m scared.

Why not call a ‘spade a spade’ and ‘say’ the guy is talking shiite.

Your turn, you can’t resist……. tick, tock, tick, tock….
Uh know what EA has good company

I think so
@ Elon Musk September 6, 2021 12:27 PM
Dear DLP grandee. I take your insults as a sign of distinction. Thank you very much!
The fact is that very many participants in the inflammatory protests four weeks ago deliberately did not wear masks. The fact is that the opposition unanimously celebrated the inflammatory protests four weeks ago against the vaccination campaign as a great success.
PROOF Barbados Today 7 August 2021: “Analyst says opposition parties seek ‘juicy opportunity’ in vax debate”: “Wickham contended that the Opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) is attempting to use “convenient political issues” like the COVID situation to “manipulate public opinion”.”
Not a SINGLE member of the opposition has so far stood behind our government on the vaccination campaign since last winter. Now that the situation with the Delta variant has gone out of control, the opposition suddenly wants nothing more to do with their applause.
That is why I support our Supreme Leader because she has restored dignity to the island and its people. Our great government is working day and night to address the crisis while the opposition is trying to undermine the vaccination campaign and stir up mistrust against the excellent vaccines.
I remind everyone that I was the first to predict a prison sentence for Donville Inniss when so-called Queens Counsels and other shysters on BU touted Donville Inniss as an innocent lamb. Of course I was right because MY moral compass is not broken.
Heard a media talk host making fun at them 2×4 huts being built at the Fairchild street market
One hut costing a bill of 37thousand dollars per hut
What say yes David
Xxcxxxx
Yeah bajans are slow but they catch up.
Well if the two huts cost 37thousand dollars each
Makes wonder how much them 12 unfinished ones cost
No steps forward ALL STEPS BACKWARD.

the Caribbean as we knew it, is virtually over, it needs a redo anyway and get rid of the two-legged trash in the parliaments once and for all they are overstayed, overpaid and too toxic to remain…..
Read it again and stop allowing these frauds in the parliament and ministry of health to fill ya heads with shit….do YOUR OWN RESEARCH to stay up to date whether vaccinated OR NOT..
“Mu is the fifth ‘variant of interest’ to be monitored by WHO since March 2020. The WHO weekly COVID-19 bulletin states that this variant of interest ‘has a constellation of mutations’ that may make it less susceptible to vaccines and immunity from natural infections. Research and further monitoring will be done to better understand the characteristics of this variant of interest”
Today I heard the MOH giving a politician explanation as why govt handed labour to the Chinese labour Market for building pre-assembled houses
While listening to his mambo jumbo a question crossed my mind as to why Union involvement was absent from. Govt decision
Also now the story has made headlines why are the Union’s silent
@ angela cox September 8, 2021 7:01 PM
There is a good reason why employers in Barbados prefer to hire foreigners …
The Chinese work up to 72 hours a week, our workers at most 30 hours. Moreover, the Chinese do not sing and dance all the time during work. They also don’t want to go on strike once a week and are less rebellious.

The article shows once again that the DLP is trying hard to undermine the vaccination campaign. We therefore urgently need to revoke the medical accreditation of all doctors with DLP party membership! One cannot be against the Corona vaccination and at the same time treat patients and thus expose them to risk.
The DLP is the party of the anti-vaccinationists. That has become clear today. Of course, wild DLP grandees like @Elon Musk will now crawl out of their holes and call me vicious names. They also tried to intimidate me when I predicted a long prison sentence for Donville Inniss. These people have no moral compass.
Fortunately we have Mia Mottley and her grand ministers. Thank you Supreme Leader for saving us with the Biontech vaccine doses!
