You're wasting your breath Pintard because the very greedy Snake ain't about to increase the profit margin of these gas retailers by lowering the cost of the gasoline he sells to them. That would lower the Snake's exorbitant profit margin on his gasoline sales to the independent gas station operators.

Perhaps a special tax needs to be directly levied on the wholesale supplier(s) of gasoline products so that the government (rather than the greedy Snake) has the means to control the profit margins earned by the independent gas retailers.

And @John above works for one of them!

There is much I could say about the horrific scourge and blemish on our society that these two sleazy racketeering criminal thugs (Bastian and Flowers) have been allowed to create by the likes of Vomit Christie, Stumpy Coward Davis and Slo Mo Sears, but I will limit my comments to the following two most devastating impacts:

1) Their 'illicit' web shop gaming and other activities have greatly weakened our domestic financial system by stripping away from the local banks diversified deposit taking and lending opportunities that would otherwise exist not to mention the harm caused to vital correspondent banking relationships in the U.S., U.K. and Europe.

2) Their ferocious opposition to the establishment of a national lottery with the profits exclusively earmarked to help fund both our grossly under-resourced and dysfunctional public healthcare system and public education system.

I am fully in favour of all businesses operated by these two slime balls, Bastian and Flowers, being taxed to death or, better still, taxed out of existence. The PLP should never have legalized the criminal gaming enterprises that these two scoundrels were allowed to operate by financially backing corrupt politicians for decades.

Snake has no doubt told PM Davis that his Arawak Homes financing business needs government (taxpayer) support because home insurance costs have become unaffordable for borrowers.

Pintard needs to be "his own man" and stop listening to the extinct dinosaur likes of Hubert Ingraham and Brent Symonette. He really needs to demonstrate that he possesses the strong leadership skills necessary to stand on his own two feet and wear his own pants. And he must recognise
Tyrant Minnis for what he is - nothing but an albatross around the neck of the FNM party! The FNM will likely lose the Killarney constituency unless the party can somehow open the door to another FNM candidate (also) running in that constituency.

Get back on your meds.

You don't understand the culturally ingrained issues involved here. They want as many children as possible with the hope that their children will be of help to them later in their senior years. Also, there's a rolling of the dice aspect here. One of their many children might become the next sleasy thug to achieve financial wealth through illegal racketeering activities, much like King Sebas did with the help of corrupt politicians.

The ongoing big BPL rip-off will need to be entirely undone by the next government as it is tantamount to theft of vital state assets by a corrupt and most greedy cabal led by Snake and his local and foreign business partners. Enormous profits will be made by Snake and his partners while Bahamian taxpayers will be left on the hook for all of the existing indebtedness our nation has taken on in connection with BPL. This indebtedness now amounts to many hundreds of millions of dollars, possibly more than a billion dollars plus over the last two decades.

Make no mistake about it, this great BPL rip-off represents an existential threat to the national security interests of our nation. Turning our energy sector over to a corrupt cabal led by Snake will give them the power to mercilessly target whomever they want with outrageously high and unaffordable electricity rates in order to force the sale (to themselves) of businesses, and residential and commercial properties. at fire sale prices. Snake employed this tactic when he forced many of the independent gas stations owners out of business by lowering their operating margins to the point where even the hiring of illegal Haitian aliens could not keep their businesses stay afloat.

And just look at what's happened to the price of gasoline over the last three decades since Snake consolidated his control over the sale of gasoline in our country. Can you imagine the outrageously high and unaffordable electricity bills most of us will receive if the corrupt and greedy Snake and his partners are allowed to consolidate their control over BPL? Already Bahamians and their businesses are suffering from sky high electricity costs because of the sweet deals the corrupt and greedy Snake and his partners have cut with BPL relating to fuel costs and the rental of commercial generators.

The very greedy and evil Snake knows that Davis's days as PM are numbered. He is therefore now pressing for this most harmful rip-off of state assets for the benefit of himself and his partners. The Tribune should be asking PM Davis point blank whether he has any skin in this royal rip-off. The owners of The Nassau Guardian certainly do.

Davis is too busy stealing to debate.
