the Fuhrer Said the same things... Say some Bull enough times and it becomes the real narrative. I truly hope within my heart we as Bahamians don't fall for it. :(

I want to have hope, I really do, but it's hard to not simply give up.

sorry but I was onboard until you spoke of the "Rockefeller and their fellow Elites"

Arms, Military expansionism, siding with Saudi Arabia/Israel, cozy relationships with big oil, big Pharma and special interests in congress will all remain the same. Don't try and sell bullshit. It's still as usual on those fronts.

That being said we'll have to wait and see what Trump and this Republican lead America does, as it still may spell bad news for the Bahamian financial sector which is still coming under fire and under significant threat. Also, we must see if Trump will live up to his word and renege on the Cuba deal, which would benefit our struggling economy and stagnant tourism product.

I'd argue it's quite the opposite. A good portion of those condominiums and luxury gated communities are Bahamian owned, or at least started off as Bahamian owned. Gated Communities/luxury condos also are not marketed toward lower income families because they weren't built for lower income families. The average Bahamian isn't going fork out $2,300 a month on rent. If we haven't been paying attention we have marketed our country as ultra luxurious over the years and that has indeed become a reality with pricing.

Also this is a free market with real estate for the most part so a Bahamian land owner or a foreign land owner can charge whatever they want on their properties. As the population of Nassau continues to rise the demand on rental properties and land will increase thus driving up the cost. It's sad really because everyone is fighting over this small piece of rock while other family islands are economic wastelands with abundance of cheap land, including beachfront and hilltop properties.

On the issue of AirBnB, there should be a nominal flat tax so at least some of the revenue flows back into the public coffers.

We have somewhat created a dual economy, and asserted above, that economy has systemic issues. These issues are only made worse with an atrociously high cost of living combined with low wages. We really need to rethink the way we do things.

all bought from Florida, the State with some of the slackest gun control laws. You can literally buy a gun on craigslist from a private owner without a permit, bill of sale or background check.

So guns flood into the Bahamas

Is this a thing about Black heads of state or something? From Jammeh in the Gambia, to Mugabe to Pindling etc. They never want to step aside nor would they allow for the constitutions to be amended to set term limits.

oh goodie, more flip floppers.
Remember the referendum? one second he is against it then he's for it last minute? Make up your mind.

BPL is a management company. the government still operates BEC which is responsible for energy production.

Also Bahamar is related... Remember when they asked to build their own power station... and got rejected more than once? What ever happened to continuing that investigation into the BEC bribe? Was it REALLY only Ramsey?

Blame your shit leaders for the 20 years.

accurate. The Sunshine boys!

massive capital investment and it cuts into the tief'n money.

Long term Solar would reduce our cost of living sand ease of doing business. But we are stuck listening to the like of Sir. Bethel and Sir Wilson and a long list of parasites along the way. Welcome to the Bahamas

Sears is a good candidate in the wrong party. despite his connections with the Numbers boys his policy positions are sound and his views are in the 21st century. But I'm afraid I cannot trust that so long as he runs in the PLP. No point in changing the ship captain if the same group of plunderers are still onboard.
