@Artax August 23, 2022 6:22 AM “@ Cuhdear Bajan Was Google your guide?”
No, no, no. I did not consult Professor Google, nor Uncle Sam. Lol!!!
I am asking an honest question, because you know far more about these arcane administrative matters than I ever will.
So will you help me out with an equally honest answer?
Thanks.

We BUers, like medieval theologians too love an argument about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

HMMM
THE BELOW ARTICLE IS 2021 A YEAR LATER WITH A POPULATION OF ONLY 300,000 WITH ABOUT 30 TO 40 PERCENT BEING CHILDREN ETC NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A DRIVER LICENCE AT ANY ONE TIME.
WHAT GLORIOUS INCOMPETENCE.
Gov’t moves to clear backlog for driver’s licences
Published on
October 16, 2021Government has targeted November 15 as the date that they expect the backlog of more than 80,000 driver’s licence cards will be cleared.
Minister of Transport, Works and Water Resources Ian Gooding-Edghill made the announcement on Saturday as he reported that just over 10,000 cards have already been printed and the distribution process had commenced.
Addressing the media at a briefing at the Barbados Licensing Authority (BLA), The Pine, St. Michael, Gooding-Edghill said that his ministry had introduced a two-shift system dedicated to clearing the massive backlog.
“Teams of seven working in two shifts Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 12 a.m., and one shift on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., have been put in place and have already begun the process of printing, sorting and packaging the cards. If necessary, a third shift will be added,” he explained.
“The BLA has started the process of coordinating the delivery of the licences to the public through the General Post Office courier service. We are using our special printers but because of the special security features, it will still take time for them to be printed. The exercise, to clear the backlog of over 83,000 cards, which consist of 9,646 for customers who renewed their licences online, and 74,227 who would have otherwise collected their licences from the BLA offices. The BLA team anticipates that the project addressing the backlog should be completed no later than November 15, 2021 and thereafter normal distribution at the offices will resume,” Gooding-Edghill said.
According to the minister, since July 2020, the BLA had been faced with the difficulty of maintaining sufficient inventory level of plastic cards used to produce a Barbados driver’s licence. In addition, administrative and supply challenges globally contributed to the delay in the delivery of these cards.
The cards, he noted, are specifically designed and manufactured in the United Sates for Barbados and imbedded with security features to reduce counterfeit and fraud, which could compromise Barbados’ good reputation abroad. He revealed that the order of 100,000 cards and the specially manufactured laminate have been received by the BLA.
All cards will be processed and mailed to each customer through the General Post Office courier service. The new cards must be signed for and the expired licence returned to the courier. It was noted that no new photographs for regular renewals will be necessary.
In the meantime, no licences will be issued face-to-face at any of the BLA offices during the next weeks as the BLA will be focusing on the mass production to clear the backlog and to avoid compromising COVID-19 protocols. However, the delivery of drivers’ licences paid for online through the courier service is expected to resume on November 1, after it had to be suspended due to the absence of plastic cards. In addition, the BLA has also scheduled the resumption of the issuance of driver’s licences from the BLA offices at Oistins and Holetown.

“However, access to adequate financing on reasonable terms is absolutely critical if we are to manage these inevitable shocks without having to engage in counterproductive levels of austerity and be able to preserve critical institutions like LIAT, NIS and UWI. The solution is not to abandon or reduce such critical institutions from the standards of excellence we have gotten used to, but to find ways to sustain and even grow such institutions.”

Unsurprisingly, a very rudimentary “analysis” by Justin Robinson, with little to no real analysis; only well worn cliches.
Seems like just another don”t-touch-UWI plea. He could have distilled the waffle down to a few lines and left out the pretention to serious investigation.
UWI, NIS and LIAT are all failed or failing institutions and desperately in need of a re think.

WOMDERFUL COMPETENCE ON THE 2 X 3 ISLAND IN 2022
Published on
April 9, 2022Persons who made payments to renew their driver’s licences between July 2020 and October 2021, and have not been issued their licence by the Barbados Licensing Authority (BLA), can, from Monday, April 11, log on to bla.gov.bb to ascertain the status of their licences.
Using their national identification number in the app, persons can check whether their cards are ready for pick up and the location where the licence may be collected. They may also telephone the Pine location at 536-0279 or 536-0260, or the Holetown location at 535-8168/9, to find out the status of their licence.
Once the cards are available, drivers who reside in St. Andrew, St. Lucy, St. Peter, St. James, St. Joseph and St. Thomas can collect them from the BLA branch in Holetown between 8:15 a.m. and 4 p.m. Those who reside in Christ Church, St. Philip, St. Michael, St. John and St. George must collect their licence at the BLA Pine location between 8:15 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., or 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Persons are advised to walk with the expired driving licence and a valid form of identification.
The alphabetical system has been put in place and persons should log on the Ministry of Transport, Works and Water Resources’ Facebook or Instagram page to find out the day that corresponds with the first letter of their last name.
The Barbados Licensing Authority apologises for the delay and thanks the public for its patience and understanding. (MTWW)

NEITHER OF THEM NEED ANY ASSISTANCE EVEN FROM THEIR CHILDREN. MY BROTHER LIVES WELL. MY FAMILY HAS DONE WELL GOING BACK NEARLY A CENTURY.
Not one of them has ever been hungry one day in their lives.
So who gives a damn about Baje?

I wonder why u renewing ur license In California when u claimed u dont live there that u Were only visiting
So Barbados is behind cali when it comes to getting a renewal. So what?
Cali is behind Georgia – i cant remember when last i visited dvm for anything including a Renewal if a license -
Can we get back to the topic if it is possible to deflate the online egos of some of you?
-
One of my suggestions regarding trying to restructure the economy, save foreign exchange and get our children to eat healthy is too develop about a hundred acres or so strictly for the production of vegetables , exclusively for the school meals department. I was advised we may need more but I was told the land is there.
Another suggestion is to create a program where people who have fruit trees and the fruits are just dropping on the ground, is to sell those fruits directly to the school meals program.
I don’t know if these are new ideas but to create a generation of citizens who would avoid foreign produced products, we need to start with the current generation.
I also think such a program can create hundreds of jobs and give agriculture the revolutionary boost it needs.
Peace. -

i would want to know what ALL OF THEM DO FOR TAXPAYER’S MONEY BESIDES WASTE IT AND TIEF IT…
“Pinching above our weight
D. Goddard
Let me state from the outset that I am political novice, thus my letter is designed for someone, anyone, to free me from my ignorance.
Firstly, with our country in dire economic straits and austerity measures being reflected in several areas of our day-to-day lives, lay-offs, short-hours, unemployment, problems with NIS, problems with debt to GDP, 200 dollars giving a person only two bags of groceries [if you’re lucky], some government workers, casual and otherwise, having to go sometimes three months without being paid, contracted workers smelling hell, water bills drowning people, light bills shocking them and on, and on, and on; this is what I want to know.
We taxpayers are paying an MP to be Special Envoy on Reparations and Economic Enfranchisement every month, what exactly, other than collect a salary, does he do on a five-day work week to earn his money? What the hell does a special envoy on reparations in a three by six country do that relates to that title?
We taxpayers are paying Senator John King who was once an MP to be a special advisor on culture and heritage. Then we are also paying Senator Dr Shantal Munro-Knight to be Minister in the PM’s office with responsibility for Culture.
So, what exactly do both of these people do on a day-to-day basis for my money and your money? I ask this especially seeing that we already have one of the best cultural people ever in Barbados in Carol Roberts-Reifer. Do we have enough culture to divide among so many people?
Now we have someone who is a special envoy, director or consultant, or something sounding real pretty like that, who is the responsible for protocol. What exactly does she do on a day-to-day basis to be getting some of the money I work so hard for and pay in taxes every month?
What is really going on? Are Bajans paying attention?
And on the subject of consultants, I once went to a consultant a few years ago, paid him for that consultation and that was that. I went back to him six months later, he saw me, I paid him for the consultancy and that was that. Government have some consultants on their payroll and I do not understand their role.
Do these people tell government the same thing every day for a month and get paid? I would think that if I have a problem and I have a consultant and he tells me how to deal with the problem, I take his advice, I pay him and that is that. End of consultancy. But people in government must have very hard heads if they have to pay a consultant every month [as is the case now] for him or her to keep telling them the same thing, the same consultancy subject area, every day.
That sounds like madness! At this rate, we have consultants on crime [but crime still going through the roof); consultants on the economy [one economy] and life getting harder by the day. Consultants for this, consultants for that.
Do they give the same ideas, every day on the same subjects, to the same people? This is crazy! But these people drawing salaries upwards of $9 000 monthly and I want to know what are they doing daily for my money and your money. Will we soon have a consultant on mauby bark?
As I said at the start, I am an idiot to certain things. But as a taxpayer whose money is getting spent, I demand answers. The reason why you people do not get answers but can only get curse in Parliament, is that you do not demand enough from your MPs. But that is who we are.
Pinching [yes, pinching] above out weight!”

Why i can’t STAND politicians on small slave colonies..
..THEY KNOW they can do NOTHING to generate better…too TIEFING and DON’T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES…but they will LIE and deceive when they are NOT CREATIVES,,,they are PRETENDERS and LIARS…so there is only one end….in deeo, deep shit …where they helped engineer everyone into with their greed and corruption…
-
Consultants are often temporary workers on a contract basis who are not permanent staff.
They can fill senior level positions for project work but may not be required after completion of projects. -
the island has had consultants for the last 4 YEARS…and can’t show anything for it…besides more HARDSHIP for the people…..and money disappearing into minority holes…
million dollar money laundering consults anyone??? “many hands make light work” of that…
gotta earn their million dollar keep somehow, right…
A WASTE OF TAXPAYER’S MONEY….

Problems are raised when people don’t understand simple things
You don’t understand what a consultant is
sometimes minorities are better qualified
so stop hating minorities -

It is real simple to explain why Bermuda, Barbados and the Bahamas are some of the most expensive places to live in the Caribbean.
They all cater to money launderers and tax evaders/avoiders with plenty money to move.
They pay top dollar for goods and services and for discretion.
It doesn’t take much common sense that they will elevate all sorts of costs in Barbados, from construction to food.
We don’t have any game to hunt, and most Bajans are terrified of the sea and don’t fish. Plus, most of us have lost the ability to solve problems like the Rednecks of America who it is claimed are recession proof.

For my just before bed snack, a piece of sweet potato cooked in the skin without any added sugar, salt or fat. I am eating the skin too. I grew the sweet potato myself. I bet that a snack like this will hold me through till morning. A cheap, tasty, filling, whole food, locally grown. Shipped from my yard 3 meters to my kitchen. I eat what my parents and grand parents ate. They all lived past 70, and most of them lived past 85. My siblings doing the same, 2 are already past 80 and 5 past 70. All good and doing everything for themselves. So I good.
I wonder if instead of the sweet potato I should lust after caviar from the Black Sea 9300 KM away?

Oh get a life do! … Simple Simon.
No doubt you also wipe with a rock, scrub your floors with bush, and badly miss your pit toilet.
If that is the self-image that you see in YOUR mirror, then FINE!It takes all sorts to make our world complete….
After all, somebody gotta be happy filling the various roles of life.
If there were no beggars there could be no philanthropist.
If there were no Simple Simons there would be no ZR owners.
SOMEBODY gotta be happy cleaning up the streets.BUT that does not mean that we ALL must have YOUR low standards….At least…
NOT STINKING BUSHIE,,,
When the bushman looks in the mirror, what he sees is the image of his step-father standing in the background. That image is one of greatness. Of majesty! …of aiming for perfection.
…not one of groveling, begging, ‘making do’, or of mediocrity.Why the Hell would Bushie eat boiled potato at night? …and leave his ‘Golden Opulence sundae’
from NYC’s Serendipity for who? …Pacha? …David? …..Lawson?Are you a Brass Bowl?
