They should kick BPL out and run their own power plant, just like Spanish Wells does. BPL has demonstrated that they are incapable of providing electricity.
Shell isn't here because they like the weather and the restaurant options. They are here because they don't pay a corporate income tax. If we implement a corporate income tax, they'll be gone in a week.
Not smart enough to avoid falling victim to an obvious pyramid scheme, but qualified to be a member of parliament? I can't wait for him to be elected, I have some magic beans to sell him.
Unlike the Exuma situation, this was a legitimate accident. This ferry has been running for decades and was built professionally. The Four Cs boat was built in a backyard by unqualified people, exploded due to their lack of knowledge and negligence, but yet somehow they weren't held accountable.
BTC wasn't an asset, it was a liability. Obscenely overstaffed, poorly maintained infrastructure, and a non-viable business model. People love to talk about the "glory days" of BaTelCo, but forget about the fact that everyday people couldn't afford Internet access, and we were paying $1/minute to call the US. Meanwhile everywhere else in the world long distance service was costing consumers pennies, and they could get broadband for under $100/month.
Ditching that albatross and introducing competition was the greatest thing anyone has ever done for this country.
