History and life is not black or white, many more grays and all shades in between. So it is with Columbus. Not all good and not all bad. He was a product of his times as we all are so looking back with our 21st century mores is skewed at best. The real people who should be angry with Columbus are any descendants of indigenous arawaks who lived here. This statue was a gift from a abolitionist colonial governor who fought tooth and nail with the local White House of assembly and white slave owners for better treatment of slaves even to the point of incarcerating some of them. Have an open mind and educate yourself Bahamas about the nuances of our history.

Who cares? Stay retired and sit in your rocking chair all day, you have already drained and failed the Bahamas enough.

“She prophesied that late or soon, You would be found deep drowned in Doon.” ….Tam O’ Shanter by Robert Burns.

The Bahamas is dead man walking with this debt. We are utterly fiscally incompetent! The last 48 years have taught us that. Brave has no new ideas, same old dinosaur, same old corruption. The IMF is coming and it will truly be a new day then. I welcome their arrival. They are the only hope for our children and grandchildren.

No one is entitled to a job. No one is forcing them to work for Atlantis. Abide by their policy or quit. Simple as that.

No one is entitled to a job. Employees pay for the test, get vaccinated or quit. We need to stop coddling these unions.

If by well you mean shaking down investors and self enrichment then you are right. People like him are parasites inflicted on Bahamians by the same old corrupt PLP.

The fox is now in the hen house. Nothing good can come of this.

Why Bahamians have such loyalty to these uncaring foreign banks is beyond me. They do not care about you! Open an account at Fidelity, Commonwealth Bank or Bank of the Bahamas instead.

That is ancient history. The IMF is much reformed since the time of Manley and Seaga. This recent restructuring was much different than the ones you refer to as the IMF is much more sensitive and nuanced in its approach. In fact it even mandated a certain minimum level of social spending that could be exceeded but not reduced.

Actually they did do a great job in Jamaica. Jamaica significantly reduced debt to GDP under their restructuring. Of course they had a massive setback because of the pandemic but this has nothing to do with the IMF.
