All the more reason to gradually abandon use of fossil fuel. Consumption of petroleum has led to global warming which has triggered catastrophic natural events. Furthermore, use of fossil fuel has proven expensive and has resulted in massive global inflation. So if consumption of gasoline is destructive and expensive, why are we using it??? Especially seeing that there are other options available.

It’s time for us to go Green. We’re a smaller country so it would be easier than most. The government needs to drop tariffs on electric vehicles and encourage Bahamians to use green energy wherever possible. Solar energy can cut our dependence on petroleum products by almost 25% thus decreasing its demand. Derelict properties around Nassau should be converted to vehicular charging stations. Imagine if half the vehicles in (Nassau alone) were electric vehicles.

Problems have solutions. We as a people need to get serious.

Absolutely! 100% true!

That’s because the Bahamas IS a third world country. It’s a dump really. And you’re right…… nobody seems to care. Downtown Nassau is a perfect representation of Bahamian people.

Exactly. I read some of these posts and I honestly all I can do is hang my head. Our people don’t have a clue. All we do is talk nonsense.

Mr. Pintard….. there are two reasons that the FNM lost the election.

1) Hurricane Dorian.
2) The COVID19 Pandemic.

Despite what Bahamian people are grumbling about, it really didn’t matter who was in office at the time. They would have voted out the PLP or the FNM.

Yes!

We agree for once. And it’s the same scenario within the banking industry. Self-ordained elites are share holders within these organizations so they create any absurd reason to price-gouge Bahamians.

Long time. But the reason they get away with it is because we as a people don’t protest.

Shut ya stupid f#%king ass!! You’re the same one who is always lamenting and advocating for these criminal, gun-toting, scum whenever the police shoots them dead!! Now you want to offer condolences when an upstanding, dignified member of our community is senselessly murdered by these animals!?!?! You talk out of both sides of ya shitty mouth!! Go ta hell!! And take these shit face, monkey face bastards with you!! Piece of shit!

I’m still not sure why people are saying that Phillip Davis and the PLP lowered VAT. The fact remains that they have actually increased VAT. “Bread Basket” items that were once 0 percent are now 10 percent thanks to the PLP. And “bread basket” items actually sell more than other items seeing that much of the public lives beneath the poverty line and can only afford basic items such as tuna, grits, flour, etc.

So……. after all those election promises and reassurances, the only thing the PLP has done is placed another tax burden on the backs of the Bahamian people. And even worst, more taxes are set to come. Serves the Bahamian people right! Stupid is what stupid does! We should have stopped voting for the PLP and FNM decades ago. We desperately need a new party!
