All the more reason the Bahamian people need to run the very corrupt and incompetent Davis out of office. This cowardly wimp is no leader by any stretch of one's imagination as we have seen over and over again from this PLP administration's many foolish policies. We should not be willing to allow our nation and its people to be 'taken down' by Davis's thirst for hanging on to power to feed his own greed and the greed of his cronies and financial-backers.

> He {Davis} highlighted the importance of new trade partnerships, noting that a single relationship with a new source market can significantly reduce the cost of goods.

We've had out-of-control inflation for years, but only now is this bozo talking about the need for new trade relationships. The light bulb over this man's head has been blown for too long and likely can never shine light on a sensible new idea.

> Davis said, “We will start with egg production. Next up is the poultry industry, and eventually, similarly large investments in meats, fruits, and vegetables, as well as specialty Bahamian produce."

So why have you waited until now to lay claim that you yourself can do such things? Oh, that's right, I forgot how you botched up the government sponsored large scale farming project in Andros that should have been feeding our nation by now. But I have not forgot about that project's $2 million building that burnt down which you neglected to insure as the cabinet minister responsible for the farming project.

> He {Davis} emphasised that these moments of uncertainty test leadership and the ability to prevail.

This should have us all shaking in our boots because we know this delusional wimp has already failed leadership test after leadership test. Davis is a coward who can't get on board a plane fast enough to visit a U.S. hospital whenever he feels ill.

> “Let me be equally clear: engagement does not mean compromise,” he [Davis} said. “We will not abandon our national priorities to fit neatly within the designs of others. We will not be pressured into choices that do not serve the best interests of our people......We will not be dictated to, and we will not be sidelined.”

Just who does this wimp with his rat-sized pair think he's kidding with his bravado act?! President Trump has proven time and time again that he has a lion's pair between his legs. We had better hope Davis fully appreciates that U.S. pre-clearance facilities, U.S. visitor and business visas, and U.S. student visas, etc., serve the best interests of our people. After all, are we really going to stand by and let the very corrupt Davis take all of us down with him?!

> He {Davis} noted that The Bahamas has positioned itself as a leader in global discussions relevant to its future through engagement.

Now that's laughably rich coming from a wimpish guy who has made a complete and utter fool of himself and our nation by claiming to have great concern for the impacts of climate change on our environment while allowing toxic polluting particulates to be spewed all over our people by cruise ships and now rockets.

Davis should be run out of office by the people, and the sooner the better.

No, he's not of Greek heritage.

Keep comparing us to the failed state Haiti......thanks to this most corrupt Davis led PLP administration we're getting there quicker than you think.

We're long gone past complicit......we're outright guilty!

ZZZZZzzzzzzz......

LOL. You sound like a friend of the yapping poodle or his wealthy pilot friend that had a cosy relationship with SBF.

Yup, fully agree with on that score @moncurcool.

I think you're being too myopic in the way you look at this matter. This problem is rooted in the main reason for our nation's brain-drain that has been going on for decades now.

Ask yourself why is it our now crime ridden and impoverished country no longer enjoys a standard of living and quality of life, with economic and social opportunities, that would make it desirable for many of our young Bahamians to eventually return home after being well educated abroad in many specialized fields?

In my mind, years of extremely poor governance by corrupt politicians more interested in feathering their nests and the nests of their greedy cronies and financial-backers is one of the key reasons for nation’s critical shortage of qualified Bahamians in specialized medical and engineering fields, not too mention qualified Bahamian teachers at all levels of our education system, both public and private.

Time will tell all.
