If The Tribune is truly concerned with “sexism”, it should halt the practice of referring to females by their first name in their headlines, especially when they’re of the MP level.
Referring to her as “Lanisha” in the headline is the heighth of sexism; after all, they don’t refer to Dr. Minnis as “Hubert” in their headlines. Grow up, Tribune. This isn’t high school.
Uh ... as the vaccines have just been in play for a couple of months, how do you argue that they have “negative long-term side effects.” Long-term? How you know that? In short ... you’re a moron.
Bloated or not, here’s the fundamental problem: The Bahamas, with about 400K people — roughly the size of a middling U.S. city — has to provide all the services of an independent nation: defense, health, education, police, licensing, infrastructure, customs, immigration, all that.
In addition, the gov’t has taken on the massive responsibility of services that are run by private, free-market entities in many nations: power, water, phones, hospitals, airports, an airline, etc., etc.

Good luck. Most of the crew here probably think “Hubris” is the PM from North Andros.

Covid also has a long-term side-effect. It’s called “dead”. Ask 600,000 Americans. Oh, right — you can’t ask them ‘cause they’re ... dead.

Little wonder if the government seems “bloated.”
