First, I was referring to our competitors as being better educated and secure.

Secondly, I was referring to economies with, before COVID 19, unemployment of 4.5% and 5.8% and 6.7% when ours was 10%-12% or more.

I am referring to economies which have attracted much more FDI, indeed one has had three times ours in the last 10 years.

I am referring to economies with better education for its people, better health facilities.

Explain, realistically, how we are to get what you suggest.

BTW, I am well aware of the expenditures of the foreigners, especially in the more successful economies.

I was referring to our competitors being more secure and they don't have a grade D average either.

Then explain how you get this to work me foreigner.

I am looking at places that had, before COVID 19 unemployment rates of 4.5%, 5.8%, and 6% while we have a rate of 10%-12%.

They do not have a huge national debet like we do. Their schools have clases nearly half the size of The Bahamas. The FDI is much more than ours, nearly tripple in one case.

They have cross fertilization of ideas and have much more sucesful economies.

So tell everyone how you are going to do the same thing without their type of immigration policy.

Take a look at the competitors to The Bahamas. The ones who have low unemployment and, I might add, much lower COVID-19 because they did more, much more testing.

Look at their hospital facilities as well.

They don't suffer from your phobia ("I scared") with respect to foreigners and they are benefiting from their more educated and secure attitude.

Now there is a joke. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Must have been issued by Trump as he never does anything wrong and is always perfect.

Yes you did Tal. The Government employees are the ones who are spreading it the most because they follow the mask and distancing the least.

With our current immigration policy it will be impossible to attract any foreign currency investment.

The Bahamas has a very bad reputation amoung investors and the statements made by the Minister of Immigration in the House of Assembly, earlier this week, is sealing our fate to become economically just like Haiti.

It is clear that no thought went into this latest lockdown. Grade "D" thinking prevails and with it people will lose their jobs and their businesses.

Where is the financial relief as other countries have done. If they gave businesses mony like they have in Europe, Canada and the US some mmay have a chance to survive and keep employees on.

Lockdown & Financial Relief go hand in hand. Can't do one without the other.

GB Power is owned an doperated by the Canadian power company Emera and runs like a real first world power company.

Find a proper company to run BPL and give it to them free. We will get power wich will enable us to make money because we will be able to operate our businesses properly with reliable energy.

We will also save the country (tax payers) tens of millions of dollars each year in the money sucking money loosing inefficient BPL.

Problem is that the Ministry of Health only has one protocol. It is based on only testing when people show symtoms. This has been proven scientifically to be imperfect by countries like Germany, South Korea, Iceland and others.

Cayman is COVID free but they have tested 45% of the population. The Bahamas is at 1%.

Massive testing = little or no active COVID (Cayman).
Little or no testing = 574+ COVID cases and rising (Bahamas)
