Writing is on the wall. The government resources are down to nothing!! SMH

> Frankie Campbell said: “The process of feeding our fellow brothers and sisters remains a major priority for the government of The Bahamas."

The major priority of the government should always be the creation of an environment conducive to job growth in the locally owned (not foreign owned) private sector so that most Bahamians could find decent paying employment opportunities to feed themselves and their families. But our most incompetent and power crazed PM, wants the vast majority of us to be dependent on him for handouts if we behave ourselves in his eyes. Minnis and his entire cabinet must be banished by the voters from politics come the next election, if not sooner.

Statistics prove the foreign owned businesses pay Bahamians 35% more than Bahamian owned businesses.
Additionally the foreign owned businesses bring and provide modern skills to the Bahamian worker, where Bahamian owned business does not.

Give your head a shake and open your eyes; quit your xenophobic views and learn something.

Ah yes, the statistics. they are never skewed to an outcome

You idiot.

So you think Bahamian employers pay near as well as foreign?

That will be the day. What a joke!

For decades we've had a policy of granting work permits to foreigners with the understanding Bahamians would be adequately trained so that the work permits could eventually come to an end. That certainly has not worked out so well for Bahamians employed outside of the ever shrinking financial services sector. We need to start believing in ourselves and what we can achieve as Bahamians with the right kind of government. Sadly, the Minnis-led FNM government is yet another administration that seems to worship everything foreign while frowning on or castigating everything Bahamian.

Surely the Minister can not be referring to this proposed border opening on Oct. 15, as being an economical stimulus large enough to eliminate the need for food, and other assistance. It is naive to think that we will have any tourist influx when, there is a negative covid test requirement; visitors are required to quarantine for fourteen days; there are no major resorts opening; and there are no activities such as tours, watersports, clubs, and casino's operating. There will be no cruise visitors until 2021 and our air arrivals will not even warrant the opening of one major resort. If the assistance discontinuation is being predicated around a tourist revenue rebound, there will be many hungry Bahamians. This type of statement is nonsensical.

alfalfa - I agree that the statement is nonsensical, and it shows a lack of knowledge on the ministers part. I have repeatedly posted in this forum that the Bahamas is on the verge of food shortage and starvation due to

- extreme weather conditions destroying crops worldwide; nasa has recently confirmed that we are in a grand solar minimum (GSM) period which causes exterme weather. Some say the (GSM) extreme weather will last for 10 years.

- rodent and locust infestations in various countries including the usa

- the plandemic has caused farmers to destroy crops and livestock; many field workers and meat packing workers etc are sidelined so less food is available worldwide.

Also, the unrest in the usa is projected to become worse in November and continue until possibly September 2021.

This minister represents the government which makes his statement and the government's position unreal.

Is this the same Comrade Frankie **who thinks he's above having to stand to give an answer before sentencing judge** as to just yesterday Sunday why 'em knowingly did, in fact, attend what must best be described as an illegal numbers in attendance staged funeral?
**Why the one decreed law for the politically House=elected, appointed, hired, privileged** and forced live under authoritarian rule all others **that jails the Homeless and threatens the freedom coconut water sellers. You'd have try really, really hard to make this placed under lockup authoritarian rule stuff up. Just couldn't. A nod of Once for Yeah, Twice for No?

The only thing I want to hear from Frankie is the results of a DNA test comparing him to his 'fathers' immediate next of kin!

Food Aid Programme To End Next Month **=** Crime Will Greatly Escalate End Next Month!

This is of great concern for my Bahamian people, yes this programme donated to thousands of people and it ran for a good length of time, and I am sure Bahmians were greatful. But something still has to be done, thousands of people are still hurting and out of jobs.
I know the government wants to open the country next month, but there will still be thousands of persons unemployed.
That is mainly the persons in the tourism sector, the country is opening but the hotels refuse to open.
Help is still needed, just as much as the first day the help was started.
Social service is not going to be the answer, they turn people away. They want to give persons one coupon and than say we will call you back and they won't ever call

Once your name goes in their system to say you got a coupon before that' is it. People cant live of one coupon and that's it.
They dont even give the coupon on a monthly basis. And you have to practically beg for it
What's gonna happen to your fellow BAHAMIAN.
No food, no water, no clothing, no job, no government funding.
Continue to help your people.
We need you
This is the time for the people
