First they gave a non-impactful salary increase.

Then they raised taxes and rates in every place possible.

Then they kept gas prices high despite world conditions.

Of course they watch silently as retailers raise their prices left right and center.

Then they restructured government bonds that found bondholders getting less and taking longer to do so, maybe even dying in the process.

Then they decreased corporation taxes, propped up Pinnacle Feeds, Abeds and God knows who else.

Of course we can’t forget the big huge contracts without tender to the small few persons.

Now they have passed a bill which means that any Government obligations can now be paid with bonds that will take 3 1/2 years with no interest at all…hopefully. Clearly just a glorified IOU.

AND on top of that they will also institute a National Credit Bureau that will record all the debts and obligations which were in arrears specifically BECAUSE the government wouldn’t pay me what they owed me in good time in the first place.

But of course, the millions HAD to be spent to move to a Republic without public education and buy in.

And of course the billions HAD to be borrowed so foreign reserves can look good.

And of course the consultants, new foreign embassies with full staff and silent ministers HAD to be kept in place.

And a budget to help the “poor man” understand what is really going on HAD to be postponed indefinitely.

Really can’t wait to see what comes next.

My oh my how they care.

    Now… I got uh nex’ question.

    I want to know who the property on which the Courtney Browne Pavillion was built belongs to since it was acquired by THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF BARBADOS in 1995.

    Hopefully this would provide me with a motive for the Government of the day to steal his land.

    Excellent post from Observing which highlights the desperate economic inequities faced by Barbados majority population from a malicious government. Has anyone noticed that apart from the incisive contribution of one local there has not been a meaningful contribution from the natives.

    @ GP,
    Where did you get the idea of an insurrection from when it is evident that Auntie Mia’s medicine has comatosed the local population.

    America is currently making a stink about a Chinese tennis player who accused some big up of sexual assault, alleging that she has been silenced.

    “We suspect that 57 year old man to be Douglas.”

    he told a family member he don’t know how he got to Harrison’s Point ..

    .don’t know how accurate, but it’s said he was called to the island for that same case…and apparently he won…again, this info is second hand…and apparently some plot is in place to return his children to Barbados and if true…SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN…because that is NOT WHAT HE WANTED.

    as Americans prepare to gather for the holiday season, Fauci is again espousing a message of caution, but one that feels almost comical in its real-world application.

    Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested Wednesday that Americans should require holiday guests to prove they are vaccinated.

    During a live streaming session hosted by the Washington Post, Fauci pushed the hosts of holiday parties to demand the vaccination status of guests before they enter the gathering.

    “People should, if they invite people over to their home, to essentially ask and maybe require that people show evidence that they are vaccinated,” Fauci said in a Republican National Committee’s clip of the stream.

    “That is the reality of the situation,” Fauci said about his recommended restrictions, noting the rules make vaccinated people feel “comfortable”.

    This drastic and dramatic suggestion came even after Fauci himself noted that the omicron variant of COVID-19 isn’t much of a threat.

    Seems to be good news about Omicron. Dr Campbell saying something different to Fauci, it seems.

    And if this variant is less severe, where would the Delta and so on go, disappear? Seems not right

    Hear the story…

    Douglas Trotman did not know how he got to the isolation centre. He died attempting to retrieve tens of millions from the tiefing frauds in the Government. There is a “plot” to bring his children (or heirs) back to Barbados.

    And then we get as far as Mark Stokes and Victor “Pele” Parris.

    And Grantley Adams’ house being shot up for promoting union activity.

    But I am the one who is lying and stirring up shit.

    I have an article on it, longer-form, that I’ve written:

    https://catxman.wordpress.com/2021/12/09/bureaucracy-vs-corporatism/

    The tl;dr is that the private sector can simply do things the government cannot, will not, and does not. These are matters of high import and yet they are being neglected … neglected!

    when corrupt misleaders are only interested in keeping Black populations who elected them oppressed and in poverty, they gotta collapse, collapse collapse….they are the only ones who could not feel the collapse coming…

    There was a Barbados Government Mia Mottley video that stated Barbados University will teach the study of all religions, as God is in all of them. If you summarise Jesus’ thinking God is in Man and concept he will come back again is called reincarnation as believed in Buddhism and Hinduism. When you adopt the concept that God is in you, then all your thoughts, feelings and actions can be considered to be manifestations of God. So the new Republic is about a new Religion on a higher level.

    $200,000,000 / 300,000 = $66.66667 Per Bajan

    According to internet search for weed in Barbados

    Barbados, Barbados | We Be High
    $66.66 = 1/2 ounce = 7g

    Saw two articles in BarbadosToday that made me pause. For some criminal matters, if you can afford to pay a fine or compensate the victim then “no prison and fast justice”. If you don’t have money ‘ possible prison by slow justice’. But this is only for a time. Once we get the people with money out of the system we going back to a “tough stance”.

    Excerpt from BT.
    “If everybody feels that they are going to get locked up for grievous bodily harm and wounding and those other kind of matters they will come in with a bundle of not guilty pleas in cases where they are obviously guilty as sin and delay the court further either in getting them to trial with no real satisfaction or benefit to the complainant who suffered the injuries. I think we might find that a lot of these complainants are prepared to take some compensation and the accused are prepared to pay some not to go to prison.”

    “Justice Greaves said once the backlog was cleared judges could go back to adopting a tough stance on all matters.”

    Nothing in the article surprised me.

    Getting a loan to make a purchase, buying a car, applying for credit cards, renting an apartment or any exchange where you will be getting financing requires giving consent to run your credit report. It happens almost everywhere.

    There is really nothing new in the article. Move on.

    No debt at all is the better move…you cannot escape bad debt when markets go bear = recession and/or depression… and bull depending on who is controlling them…

    Theo…you should know about all the dips and flows….where credit card holders have absolutely NO CONTROL…and still gotta PAY those debts…cause no one cares about the excuses.
