Yes the "picture of the bahamas is beautiful"; though life here is nothing like the picture.
Perhaps the rich can afford to cherry pick and enjoy the beauty, all the while being able to afford such insulation as to not experience the ugliness.
For the rest of us, we much at minimum struggle to feed & shelter ourselves, while for the poor even the basics elude them. We watch our corrupt leaders steal away all the wealth of the nation, passing on benefits only to their crony capitalist pig friends.
Rather than saying "let them eat cake", in the bahamas our leaders give us rotten milk, mouldy bread and unreliable government services.
We're supposed to be one of the wealthiest nations in the regain; a skewed statistic that derives it's numbers by including the grand sums of money stolen by our "elitist thieves" into the nations income statistics; thankfully they do this, or we might be rivalling some of the poorest nations about now, statistically speaking that is. Of course for those Bahamians struggling, the majority, they don't believe the statistics. We're a nation who's people are so proud, we fail to acknowledge how poorly we're really doing by our own people.

This is a total disgrace. Leslie Miller should step down or be fired. Anyone with any self respect would not accept a salary for a job they cannot do. What a piece of garbage.

As for the power problems, this is quite obviously deliberate, every other Island Nation in the region can and does provide reliable power; so why not here?

Bahamian pride aside, our country is a joke in so many ways!
