Re concernedcitizen This is one of the best posts I've seen on here. You have shown a blazing light of truth onto the scam government we have in the Bahamas, which is little more than a lawless tribal cabal. Good work! 40 years of this criminality by those lawless thugs in government, and I'm surprised this country isn't even worse off.
Sheeprunner12 I hope you aren't serious. If you are comparing the supreme Court nominee with a stellar record and Harvard professor who is accused of a highschool fling to this, you should put down the pen.
Re: Sickened Great term: Land Pirates. Instead of the terms "wastage and incompetence" when will we start calling it by its real name: "theft and corruption."
There has obviously got to be a major change, a double VAT charge or even a complete lock-out of AIRBNB from this judisdiction, or hotels like Baha Mar will go out of business. Ofcourse, the white realtors love AIRBNB, because foreigners are buying up every property under 500K, so the FNM is unlikely to change anything.
I a black man in this country. I didn't come from no money. I had to fend for myself and do what it takes to survive. So nobody could tell me to do anything. My car ain't have insurance, my boat ain't licensed and I the boss. Who ga stop me from speeding? Who ga stop me from robbing house. That's the tourist Dem problem. I just trying to make a living. These stinking FNM just a bunch of rich white men. They don't know the struggle. I got a loaded gun. Best nobody try to get in my way.
This is the mentality of many Bahamian men folks. It's not just 4Cs, it's everywhere. How do we change this?
I think we will soon start seeing the true Minnis: A man that rules like China using deep secrecy and puppet strings. I expect to see many more resignations in the FNM party.
We all know that in the end the Chinese will end up owning the cruise ship port and all these "interested" parties are just fronting for them. Lol. I hope not.
The Freedom of Information Act would or should allow the public to sue the government for information, as it does in other countries where it is in force. This is how it differs from other Acts that are not enforced, because the Government has no motivation to investigate itself. The FOIA allows for private sector enforcement. Too bad the FNM "dealt with" the one person organizing the demand for a FOIA.
If you own a store and cannot see what your employees are doing, your business will go to hell. You can set rules of what they should do with the money AKA Fiscal Responsibility Act, but unless you can see what they are doing behind closed doors, you don't have a chance. This is why almost every democratic country has a Freedom of Information Act. Get it done dummies!
