Questioning Boyne On Bruce's Bounce

[Don1]

So the question is. If it was not cruise to Jamaica what are the other options?

Most of those people on cruise wanted a cruise and don't want a land vacation so it still give us a chance to get a little bit of their dollar. It is not like most were going to choice a cruise to Jamaica or a Jamaican hotel. Most was going to choose a cruise to Jamaica or somewhere else.

Cruisin'........suboptimal but it's somewhat useful

When did you? Why were you spewing McCain's nonesense about economy etc.? How soon you forget.

[Assasin]

Can you answer the question? That was what the inital post was about from me which you quickly answered.

Here who a talk, the man who supported McCain

Did I now?

...that is strange considering in the early days and some way on into the last US presidential campaign I supported Hillary Clinton and after her defeat I was asked and passed the information on that I supported Barack Obama!

...but then Sass, Maudib, Lazie and that crowd have great difficulty with facts when they are engaged in defending the JLP.

Boss my initial post was towards the statementa about tourists coming to Ja in record numbers and who really benefits.

I didn't mention anythng about cutting imports. If you can see the relevance and tie it in with the above ; feel free to do so. Thanks.

[Muadib]

and what the PNP did after is called a Nightmare...

[Assasin]

Can you tell me how cutting import affect tourism?

Thanks in advance.

[Jawge]

Thanks, sometimes I just can't be bothered. Nothing will change the money will just flow right out of JA.

Joshua had the people's interest at at heart. At present none of the parties are for the cause of the nation/populace. It's too much work; it's easier to follow the slavery policies set up some three hundred years ago.

Seaga's supposed miracle once more...

Jamaica is on a track to increase income inequality even if some "growth" is achieved. This will leave big sectors still mired in poverty and poor education and a lack of social mobility.

Growth and real development are much different constructs...we will see that when the income of the elite and upper income sectors increases at a multiple above the middle class and poor.... that's growth Republican Party/JLP style.

--- One word! ...for Maudib's and those others who speak of the supposed great economic uptick under Seaga.

Mirage!

So wait. Did you realise crusises have been around for how many years?

Is cruise in direct competition with Jamaican tourist?

When I went to school in Port Antonio and there was the cruise industry we all benefited from it. Taxi man nice, resturant nice etc. so stop condemn everything and work with the program.

mi nuh wuk wid dem program.... mi analzye dem

mi support cruisin' but dat have big drawback....dem spen bout ongly $110/pp an dem big ship costly in terms ah infrastructa waste disposal utilities etc

sub optimal model but useful

[Assasin]

Well you claim my position is simple but if you look at the overall picture you will see this guy choose not to include the complete economic picture.

Explain in detail how cutting import affect the tourism product.

[Don1]

Yeah check it out. Our export decline while import grow. No wonder you subscribe to that policy.

What economy can grow on that? Simply tell me.

Check Jamaica recent history and tell me how we benefit from what has been the pretty much importation of consumer goods and cars etcl Do you think that is real progress?

We need to cut some of that and start thinking about selling and creating products. Do we have to import everything?

As usual you completely misunderstand my position

nothin' new
