This is fuzzy math on steroids, in his former life Mr. Major was manager of Bahamasair so he has a lot of experience with fuzzy math. He is living in an alternate reality where nothing has to be profitable ( bankrolled by the treasury) and losses are viewed as surpluses and it is all good once we say it is.
Alchemy is a medieval phenomenon whose practitioners claimed that they could transform lead into Gold. The finlaysons in business have perfected just the opposite, the art of turning gold into lead.
Birdie this is simply untrue, why do you continue to lie? There was dividend payment of .12 per share on Jan 3/14, and another .12 per share dec/14 for a total of .24 per share for last year with a very generous dividend yield of 4.62% at the current share price. This is far better than anyone could have earned on their money with a fixed deposit at a commercial bank. Please stop spreading your ignorance and lies. If you really own shares ( probably another lie) you should know this.
It was a million dollar party! No one said it would not be fun but the question is was it profitable? I sincerely doubt it generated a million dollars in revenue, I saw the crowd and it was 95% bahamian, relatively few tourist. Again I hope it is an economic success but that is very much in doubt, as such there are much better ways to spend precious tax dollars than throwing a party for people to feel good.
The dirtiest four letter word I know is B-A-N-K, especially the foreign banks. Recently they have introduced fees for everything under the sun. They have made many poor loans that are in arrear and not collecting interest so they have introduced onerous fees to tax their good customers to make up for this shortfall. They all have an attitude that says they are in charge and we have to agree with whatever rule they make ( sunglasses just one example). I doubt these rules and fees exist in Canada, as the regulators nor the customers would accept it. Our central bank has failed us and we accept anything. The writer is a very intelligent woman, first of all I suggest paying all bills online as I do, and cancel all accounts with these foregin banks and give your business to those banks that give you better service. A canadian bank I banked with for 20 years introduced these fees and had an attitude that they could tell me what to do with my funds. I promptly cancelled three accounts with them and cancelled my credit card and moved to a bank that gave me the service I expected. Stop accepting inferior service, stop being lemmings who follow every command issued by these foreign banks. So I expect this writer will move her account, otherwise she should accept whatever she is dictated to do. We are only victims if we allow ourselves to be! Also, try to avoid using a bank as much as possible, all this consumer debt is toxic - realize that the sole purpose for these banks is to separate you from your money and leave you in debt forever. I built a home and retired at the age of 43 never having borrowed $1 from a bank or anyone else for that matter. It requires great sacrifice and a bit of luck but it can be done.
Good luck with this one, with our hypocritical and ignorant so called "Christian nation." Of course religious beliefs are subjective, it is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of God, therefore it is pure speculation and personal belief. It is a matter of faith, which means by definition that we do not know, as the great Cistercian monk Thomas Merton wrote " a man of faith without doubt is not a man of faith." The problem with religion is that they all to various degrees believe they have a monopoly on truth and want in various degrees to impose it on others. Worship as you wish but please let me worship as I wish and that means leave me alone. Very few people are truly educated in their faiths and many times want to impose their ignorance on others. Mahatma Gandhi was once asked if he liked Christians, he replied " oh yes, the problem is that I have yet to meet one". If these religious zealots spent more time examining their lives and truly followed Christ we would live in a far different and better country.
Where was his apology? I have not heard it. He should apologize publicly to all the taxpayers of this country who pay his salary. He was dishonest in saying he was not detained and apparently verbally abused police officers is this the kind of person who should be representing the Bahamas? Again no accountability and no respect for the bahamian taxpayers.
