This is the truly evil side of governments around the world that now seek to control every aspect of our lives.

We saw exactly this same type of evil controlling behaviour during the COVID pandemic when governments and their greedy big pharma partners thought they knew better than the best trained altruistic medical professionals and bio-tech scientists around the world. Come to find out, they did not.

Government bureaucrats and insurance company executives, even those with an MD after their name, should not be allowed to meddle in our critical personal health decisions by dictating to us and our own medical doctors what treatments, etc., we can and cannot have done. This applies especially to our own incompetent government which has an abysmal track record administering our nation's very dysfunctional public health system.

Few are more incompetent than Doofus Pinder. He has yet to figure out that the courts really have no place to send potentially violent persons who should not be released on bail. As AG, he should have long ago been leading the charge for a very large new prison to be built. But this is a moron who says "How high?" whenever the OECD and EU tell him to jump.

Keep in mind too that Dumbo Pinder's kowtowing to the oppression of our nation by the oecd, eu, imf, etc. is one of the main reasons why it now often takes a Bahamian business more than two months to open a new bank account. He has never put forward a single piece of legislation that truly serves the interests of the Bahamian people. we've had a lot of stupid AGs in the past but he takes the cake!

Did he really say we 'just have to trust' government? I think we can safely say the international lenders will not just be trusting government to repay (or continue rolling over) its foreign currency denominated borrowings down the road. A government that is unable to control crime is likely a government that cannot get a handle on its finances.

You need a large enough tax base of individuals who have money to do what the IMF wants done here. The only ones with money today in our country are the corrupt political ruling class and their favoured cronies, nearly all of whom prefer and have the financial means to jump on jet to the U.S. to get their first class medical care.

Thanks to decades of successive corrupt PLP and FNM governments that allowed our country to be invaded by thousands and thousands of illegal Haitian aliens, our country's healthcare system long ago imploded under the weight of way too many illegal aliens and their offspring.

Why hasn't Davis fired this man together with at least a half-dozen or more of the other completely useless brown-suits??!!

This is what the port development project and more cruise ships have brought to downtown Nassau.......the biggest rats anywhere in our region of the world. Can't help but wonder which Davis crony will get the fat contract to try kill all of these giant rats that are multiplying by the thousands each and every day.

Way too late for the Bahamas .....the invasion of our country by thousands and thousands of illegal Haitian aliens is now almost complete with well-over 50% of lower income Bahamians now suffering a miserable existence as second class citizens in their own country with no access to social welfare and other resources that have been devoured by the invaders.

Additional taxes in our country are only ever used for two things: (i) Feathering the nests of corrupt government officials and their cronies, both foreign and local, and (ii) growing the size of our most bloated and non-productive government.

The wealth of the wealthy will simply leave the country to evade draconian taxes targeted at them. The Central Bank even makes it easy for them to convert their Bahamian dollar denominated wealth to hard currencies like the U.S. dollar.

Sensible thinking Bahamians need to ask themselves why the IMF would rather see Bahamians taxed to death than see the size of government shrink and wasteful government expenditures be brought under control. And most public sector (government) workers are just too dumbed-down to understand that increases in the taxes and fees they must pay government are essentially a pay-cut for them by government.
