That’s a double negative which is a positive. We gonna be rich😁

He is correct but the answer to our economic malaise is growth, growth, growth. We have been meandering for the last decade with little to no GDP growth all the while wages have stagnated and the cost of living continues to increase. We need to get rid of government red tape, it takes far too long to open a bank account or get a business license or get plans approved by ministry of works. The delay and red tape is endless and costs money.

Secondly we need to privatize all possible govt corporations and stop the drain on the public purse. This will reduce inefficiency and corruption. The NAD model works BPL does not. We need to privatize BPL remove govt influence and incompetence, crush the terroristic union there and reduce the cost of electricity for the entire country. The list goes on....

I feel the same way about Jeff Lloyd. Taking the Bahamian public for a fool. No one is buying his CYA act. We know just what a D average means and we know grades are worse under his tenure. He should accept responsibility and make positive changes or resign and make way for someone more competent who can.

That’s a lot of Haitians.

Godspeed back to the Bahamas and back to good health.

No need to defend relieving the commodore from duty. The defense force failed the Bahamas in the immediate aftermath of the storm. Took far too long to get into affected areas, shows poor planning and execution. Six days later just 250 defense force members in Grand Bahama and abaco out of a force of 1600 members. Too little, too late. Two of our new vessels run aground under the commodore’s watch. We need accountability. I just wish the PM would have had the guts to state the real reason for the change. It is for failure and incompetence. The buck stops with the commodore and a change needed to be made. No need for sugarcoating it. We need accountability to move forward Bahamas!

No need for expensive payouts, simply swap for crown land which we have an abundance of.

The world is not black or white it is gray. There will be no solution without compromise, hopefully wiser, sane heads will prevail.

A solution will require compromise, a meeting in the middle. If you want the whole cake you will probably end up with nothing. We need to compromise and fix this problem once and for all.

I do not know for certainty either way but I seriously doubt most if hardly any of these squatters were paying rent. If they have been squatting for 7 years or more as it seems most of them have been then they have some claim to the land.

Regardless of how you feel about this seemingly intractable situation, we all want to see this resolved. The only question is how it is done. How about we do it in as humane and equitable manner as possible seeing that all Bahamians, especially our governments bear a great deal of culpability in this matter. We can all agree that we can not allow the previously intolerable situation to develop again.
