Johnny come lately ...
I know that I am late in posting this, but real life had other plans, so as they say ... better late than never :)
To each and everyone one of you out there in Neighbourly land, I would like to take a moment to wish you all an incredible New Year filled with love and good health.
I would also like to send you as many blessings you may need to help you through those small moments when the sun isn't shinning so brightly and things seem so dark.
I recently came across a wonderful quote (I'm not sure who said it) which I would like to share with you all:
"Regardless of what each nightfall steals from our life, may dawn give us another day to weave new hopes and dreams"
Let this New Year be the one, where all your dreams come true.
Wishing you all an amazing New Year
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
