Jeff Lloyd loves the sound of his voice and to pontificate But is failing in what really matters...results. Same old “D” average but getting worse. We should have no govt schools, rather take the 200 million plus we spend on them and pay the private sector to educate our children.

Her show was boring and unsurprisingly unprofitable. Did not perform well and got fired, nothing to see here.

I am a fan of Mr. Darville but I disagree completely with him here. I have been using reusable bags for the last year with no problem. It is not that hard, the govt gave away 50,000 free bags as did numerous other businesses but our Bahamian people are so pathetic that they can not even take a bag to the grocery store. No wonder we are in such a terrible state in this country.

Ok, Tommy Turnquest if you accept responsibility as you say then resign. This is a costly egregious failure and you need to go we need real accountability.

I have been using reusable bags for the last year. No problem. Buy your reusable bags and use them. Not brain surgery. Show concern for the environment, be responsible, and find something else to whine about.

Just make sure you are on the same plane as him. We would be willing to pay for first class for you😁

What I do not understand is all this whining. The purpose of charging .25 cents per bag is to discourage customers from using them and from the feedback it is working. Be responsible and bring your reusable bags or get a box from the store but for heavens sake grow up and stop the complaining. I swear this country is populated by a bunch of irresponsible whining children masquerading as adults.

You are 100% right. I retired in my early 40s, simply opened a brokerage account in my early 20s saved like crazy and invested well. It takes discipline, sacrifice and a bit of luck but too many Bahamians think it is not possible. I am living proof it is. This writer saved nothing, retired early and expected his government pension would cover all, totally unrealistic.

What a vile, despicable liar you are. What evidence do you have to make such a slanderous accusation?

Your pension amounts to $15,000 per year and quite frankly that is much higher than I expected. I think the problem here is that many Bahamians expect to be able to live comfortably solely on their pension, this clearly is unrealistic. With the continual increase in the cost of living each year it is becoming even more so.

In 25 years of public service you were unable to amass any personal savings for your golden years? Clearly you were unable to purchase a home which would have alleviated the need to rent. Bahamians need to prepare and SAVE for their retirement. Preferably owning their own home (mortgage free) and reducing expenses as much as possible. I have planned for my retirement with the expectation that I will receive nothing from NIB or the government and will have to self fund all my living expenses.
