This is a world wide situation all will have to do their best to overcome this goes for me also eat a little less drive less harden up become tough we will come out better and stronger at the end of it all

Absolutely. We will all feel the struggle of this global economic change. There's very little a single PM or even country can do.

You two belong together. LOL

Yes they do. Two peas in a pod

Yes people, please save has much money, has you can, you need it to pay the new taxes and higher government fees!

This might be the first fully honest thing he said since being elected.

... but despite that, he will probably be on a plane next week with an entourage going to another unnecessary meeting on the taxpayer dime!

Bingo!

He is trying to fix clint watson throwing the merchants under the bus.

But he is also saying, don't come to me to reduce customs duty.

Now that salmon and asparagus is duty free, have at it.

I mean its simple unless this country becomes energy secure via hybrid means (renewables+Gas) and food secure(as much as possible) we will continue to rack up the bill.

Or we could implement a corporate tax(for the richest companies), an environmental tax(for the cruise ships mainly and anyone destroying our country) and use this money do actually build good public services.

According to www.bahamasbudget.gov.bs the government collected around $1.8 billion for 2020/21. VAT being around 40% of that number. With an estimated population of around 410,000 that comes to around $4,400 for every single person in taxes every year. With these numbers I think that both PLP & FNM are just incompetent and also thieving too much.

And that's just VAT. Think of all the other taxes and fees they collect from us, and, of course, squander on themselves, their family members and cronies, as the corrupt and elitist political ruling class, whether they be PLP or FNM.

Common folk have been in a rough ride for years.

The politicians won't understand

Clint is un-elected but speaks for the Elected, he needs to realize he nor they have all the answers. In fact they have very few. Misleading the public is a disservice to the public.

Most of them are so grossly incompetent it would make any sensible person's head spin in horror.

Mr Davis only said he recommended that people be more conversative with their money.

Mr. Davis, can we the people recommend that you and our government be more conservative with OUR MONEY??

Glad the PM has finally realized that the cost of living is through the roof. Someone must have just told him🤣🤣🤣

He and his type have been laughing at all of us for decades......and they still are because they know it's you and others like you who will suffer the most, not them.

Why shouldn't the Guardian's Revolution with Comrade Host **Mr. Carmichael,** ... Not act like **tall man's he confesses be,** willin' expect be in for a **rough smoke** check as long as show's listeners' ... Share the ever changin' ways he demonstrates such entitled for makin'up facts within the energy and pay scale and accordin' day's show's topics reality happens to be time slotted ― Yes?

Davis and his type have been laughing at all of us for decades now......and they still are because they know it's you and me and others like us who will suffer the most, not them.

It's the civil unrest and violence to come that our corrupt and elitist political ruling class fear the most. And the U.S. is sticking around to make sure the right Papa Doc gets anointed dictator to protect their interests and rule over us given our very close geographic proximity to Florida.

The U.S. now sees The Bahamas as a bankrupt satellite state of Haiti whose people must be controlled by being kept impoverished and subdued to protect U.S. national security interests. Much like Cuba. This is why the U.S. government is building a huge fortified U.S. embassy on New Providence and intends to beef up the patrolling of our seas by not only the U.S. Coast Guard, but also the U.S. Navy.

Yes fellow Bahamians, we can thank cruel Davis and his corrupt, incompetent and most greedy kind for the terribly bleak future that lies ahead for the vast majority of us Bahamians who are unable to flee what was once our paradise of a country.

"It's the civil unrest and violence to come that our corrupt and elitist political ruling class fear the most." Assuming they are actually that astute!

Only a year ago this was being howled as a conspiracy theory. No one wanted to touch it now everyone is experts. It is too damn bad that people wait for the government to tell them things others tried to warn them on way before it is too late. It is too late. The PM is saying this will last for a few months, he is not telling the full truth. This will last for a decade or even more because the deep state clans are making this happen, deliberately. I guess this will be howled and dismissed as a conspiracy theory also. This is a no brainer; most people know nothing so everything they hear is conspiracy theory, only until the government later says the same thing.

What we are witnessing is the slow burn collapse of Western civilization. Things will only get worse.

Davis and his financial advisors do not know what they are talking about. Ok, say we stop going to the expensive restaurants and even the expensive poor man's ,Bamboo shack, stop going to kelly's , stop buying all those unnecessary clothes, and stop buying unnecessary jewelry, weave, nails ,purses and make up, the economy would crash. People would be layed off. We need people whom know what they are talking about.
