Bring in some 5 or 10 megawatt portable generators to fill the gap. Next time keep it clean. Anyone who knows anything about fuel knows that it is BEC who is the guilty party.

Economist says...

Dr. blah, blah, blah..

Economist says...

What an idiot. He can take credit for putting the PLP back in power for another 5 years.

We need some opposition and we know the FNM are, with the exception of LBT, a useless opposition.

I am not in LBT's constituency so I will vote DNA in the hopes that they can get a seat or two.

Economist says...

It was a different time and era when our Constitution was drawn. It was based on the constitutions of many new nations created out of British colonies.

Its basis goes back to the late 1950's, before women had the right to vote (1962 for The Bahamas).

The world and The Bahamas, in particular, was still a mans world, the women's lib movement of the 1960's was just baring fruit.

We have since signed up to many international treaties and conventions and the proposed amendments are part of our commitments to those agreements.

Economist says...

While the Mother is to follow the Husband, the husband is to treat his wife as himself.

Economist says...

Just see how long they take to give that Belongers Permit; 5 maybe 10 years.

Economist says...

You mean showing up on these shores like the young girl who was in the newspaper the other day. Born of a Bahamian father in The Bahamas.

You must be a very scared person to want to punish people like her. People who only know this as their country and would work hard to make it better.

Economist says...

The only Bill is No. 4 that could cause anyone to vote "No" on.

This man is so misleading. He counts on the fact that Bahamians don't bother to read.

Economist says...

It is never an easy path at immigration. They will sit on the application for 10 years or so and take a look at it and then put it away for another 10 years or so.

And we wonder why our economy is so bad.

**Immigration is at the center of this countries poor work ethic** and "I don't have to work because immigration will make sure that I don't have any competition attitude."

Economist says...

Whoever wins the next election is going to have to govern for the benefit of the Nation and make very, very hard decisions. We have left the rot for so long.

There will be many who will be disgruntled as no one, especially us Bahamians, likes change, but change we must. There will be protests and people in the streets.

If we don't change our economy is doomed.
