I’ll bet the tune would change if the gov’t said, “OK, you win — we’ll just shut it down and everybody can drive up from the larger and more modern airport right down the road at Governor’s Harbour.”

You misspelled “ridiculous” ... 🤣🤣

Apparently the missing people did not have names.

How dare The Tribune lecture us about suicide, after blaring every private act of suicide in big headlines, as if a major crime had occurred. How dare you. Just shut up, hypocrites. Or read that article aloud to your “reporters” and “editors” ... if you have any.

This is strange: Everywhere else, older citizens are top priority as they are most vulnerable.

And why are Out Islands citizens less worthy than those who live in New Providence or Grand Bahama? Are they less human somehow? Less Bahamian? Appalling. Out Islanders aren’t at the back of the line when the gov’t wants to collect VAT or Customs duties. Why are they somehow less human when lining up for a Covid vax?

Clearly, it’s gonna follow the same path as always: Shots will depend on politics and connections, on “who you know” and how you can cheat the system.

I don’t see why this is a problem. Just observe the time-tested Bahamian response: If somebody was dumb enough to lend you money, don’t pay them back. Buy some new rims or a new cell phone instead.

🤣🤣🤣

Did you ever notice how big economic advances are always just days away ... but never seem to get here?

Quick! Get a bucket!

Yup ... while NOBODY would deny help to those truly in need, the numbers here indicate that 1/3 to 1/4 of Bahamians are now relying at least in part on free food handouts.

Knowing the mindset, it’s not hard to imagine that right becoming ingrained, along with the notion that you no longer have to pay those water and power bills, or credit card bills or car loans, etc. It’s all free now, thanks to Covid.

But we don’t notice any shortage of the latest high-fashion clothing, shoes, hairdos, makeup and jewelry — or, most especially, the latest cell-phone gadgets. Sad.
