Maybe a little off the main topic, but ... if you were injured or seriously ill, how would you feel about being treated by a “junior doctor” who couldn’t qualify for an actual job? Ehhhhh?

Two predictions:

1. If you spend $25 million on Road Traffic, $24 million of it will simply disappear and you still won’t get the paperwork you need.
2. If you hire 300 more Road Traffic clerks, 295 of them will spend all day staring at their iPhone while the other 5 stand at the window and explain in great detail why they cannot help you. But all 300 will manage to order lunch on time.

Uh ... no, oil is *not* the answer, even if we had any. The price of oil is at historic lows when adjusted for inflation, and even Saudi Arabia — yes, saudi arabia — is looking forward to a future when they can no longer rely on their oil wealth as a nation. Fossil fuels are *not* the future.

Only in the Bahamas ... we can assume that the person who forgot to order the cards never forgets to order his/her lunch, or cash their government paycheck. Only in the Bahamas.

I was thinking that, too ... like driving a Model T Ford in Nassau rush hour traffic.
