Indeed ... schools, hospitals, courts ... everybody leakin’ and crumblin’ ... and usin’ candles ‘cause the power is out ... again.

The 22% who were found “not guilty” all have government jobs ... 😎

Translation: If you live at East End, prepare for a return to the 1920s — kerosene lanterns, outhouses, and no refrigeration. You’d be better off in Bangladesh.

Where do they plan to find 10,000 skilled construction workers? And where do they plan to house them on Abaco?

(Has Neil Hartnell ever in his career asked a common-sense question when interviewing some gassy Bahamian muckety-muck?)

This may be the saddest, stupidest thing ever uttered by a Bahamian government official — and that’s a pretty low bar. Utterly astonishing in its stupidity.

Not to mention that the land for that “hospital” at Palmetto Point was purchased by the gov’t from a political crony at 10x its actual value, and then another political crony was paid to push sand around with a bulldozer for a few weeks, for no real purpose, at 10x the going rate. And still ... no hospital. Nothing but lies and deceit.

So they expect half a billion dollars ... in donations? From whom? I dunno who’s crazier, the government or the newspaper.

If everything he says is true, and there’s no big problem, and it’s all OK ... then why even bother to spend $600K to outfit the 3 planes with the updated electronic gear? Whadda big fibber.

Here’s the obvious problem: If the police arrest a person for allegedly illegal behavior, they have to go through all the work of taking the person to jail, writing reports, showing up for court hearings, testifying, etc., etc.

Rather than go to all that trouble, they’ve decided it’s easier just to beat people with truncheons and not bother with all the messy, time-consuming work required by a civil society to enforce its laws in a just manner.

So, if folks think this is acceptable, why bother with courts and lawyers and judges and all that folderol? Why even pretend there is a stable, codified, consistent system of justice?

Who will be fired? Nobody. In fact, they’ll probably complain about being unfairly criticized and demand a bonus payment and extra days off to recover. Nobody ever gets fired here. Nobody ever gets prosecuted. Nobody is ever held responsible ... for anything.
