This is no way to run a country. My flight cancelled, tourists missing connecting flights. With no compensation from Bahamasair.

The Bahamian public did not really vote for him, it was overwhelming an anti PLP vote. He just happened to be the lesser of two evils. We were so sick and tired of the PLP anyone in opposition was going to win.

I thought the prime minister was tone deaf and living in a bubble before.... I am convinced of it now. I never feel safe anywhere in Nassau. Never.

Wait until they refinance that 500 million legacy debt. That will be an added charge on your bill, then you will be paying Vat on top of that. All to pay for chronic mismanagement and the most entitled, generously paid union in the country. BPL must be privatized or there is no hope for relief.

Thank God we have competition now. I live in a family island and my phone went down, called BTC and they told me they would make the service call in two days. I complained bitterly and told them point blank that we had Aliv now and that half of them were going to lose their jobs. They started stammering ( literally) on the phone and told me the island manager would call me. He called within 5 minutes ( gave me his cell# to follow up) and told me they would be by to fix my phone in an hour. 40 minutes later my phone was fixed! It shows what is possible if people really work.

These union leaders and brave Davis are pathetic dinosaurs. Stuck in the past, one that is gone forever and too lazy to really work and earn their keep. Welcome to the real world in the private sector one has to work and create value otherwise you are gone. These people need to wake up. The govt needs to sell all shares in owns in BTC and then privatize as many govt corporations as possible.

What an absolute crock of crap. BPL has red tape a mile long and frustrates home owners who want to install solar at every turn. They want Bahamians enslaved to their ineptitude and high prices. The Prime Minister can change all this with a five minute phone call. The prime minister should stop lying to the Bahamian people, if he is serious remove the absurdly low kw limits on Bahamians in the family islands and end the red tape, otherwise SHUT UP and stop insulting the intelligence of the Bahamian people.

It is not overpriced but it’s sale price has everything to do with economics. Beer is very heavily taxed by the Bahamian government, beer that is exported is exempt from this tax, hence why it is cheaper in the USA. In addition sands beer sold in the Bahamas is taxed at almost 50% the rate that kalik is ( due to an encouragement for new manufacturers). So it is a wonder kalik is so reasonably priced (certainly not overpriced) given these constraints.

Is it just me or should this commodore have been fired a long time ago? He has a lot to say now, when the prime minister embarrassed him telling him “to stop mashing up our boats” he had nothing to say. Please do the dignified thing and just resign. The buck stops with you and we need accountability finally in this country. We simply have very incompetent pathetic people leading many of these ministries. Garbage in garbage out. Until we start firing people for such gross incompetence nothing will ever change in this country.

As a first time dad, who is sick with the cold and whose head feels ready to explode with congestion, and who is on full baby duty 24/7 as mom is away... this made my day! Boy was it a rough day with several more to go. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
