Buy me one while you're at it. It is still really bad in much of Abaco. There are islands and communities there that go days without power, some still due to Dorian, but much also due to aging cables and transformers. The habit of putting band-aids on the problems is usually do to lack of supplies from Nassau, not lack of effort by the maintenance crews. When folk like the former lady governor general and other politicians and their muckamuck cronies do not pay their huge bills, the unnecessary money spent on "The Board", the rampant greed and corruption, coupled with lack of efficient management and unions and what do you get? Wonderful, affordable, electrical service all over the Bahamas provided by BEC, now known as BPL. Freeport seems to do much better under Grand Bahama Power Company, for some obscure reason.
Forget about peaks and troughs, get rid of the nasty, useless masks. Forget about unproven vaccines and inaccurate tests. People need their money for gas and groceries. Give it up. Manage our health care facilities. These Health Ministers, past and present, have useless one track minds and love the sound of their own voices.
There should be an immediate moratorium on cruise ships in our waters. At such time as the health returns to our marine environment, IF it returns, I would suggest only the smallest cruise vessels be admitted in limited numbers.
Well said and absolutely spot on. They just seem unable to ween themselves off the corruption that has been so rampart for so long. What a sickening and frightful way in which the Country finds itself. The signs have been there for so long. It is hard to believe that they never wake up!
These people cannot handle simple basic Bahamas needs and services. Why must they continue to pretend to be such world class entrepreneurs and waste The People's time and money? The vast majority of Bahamian politicians and their civil servants suffer from severe delusions of grandeur. Qatar and Saudi Arabia indeed, of all nations to mess with. They would chew Mr. Cooper up and spit him out in the blink of an eye.
The Authority has been there, done that, as far as attempting to make the public aware of the risks of flying with hackers, usually following a tragedy. What "they'' have been unable to figure out is how to enforce the aviation laws on the books. Just par for the course with Bahamas government, either unwilling or incapable.....
