You remind me of the very articulate Frweddy Boy. LOL

LOL. His mother got him that multi-million dollar BACSWN contract with the help of the U.S. government in exchange for making sure all employees at The Tribune understood that no heavy criticism of the PLP government's failed policies would be laid at the door step of PM Davis via the pages of her family's newspaper. The FNM party is truly history now that both Chairman Xi's ChiComs and King Trump's Oligarchs have apparently decided they want to put an end to our country's two-party political system that makes "buying" and propping up a puppet dictator that much more difficult. And yes, Hubiggity's family and the Dupuch-Carron family are birds of a feather for having duped loyal party supporters for many years before crossing party lines. But the big difference here is that Hubiggity, unlike the Dupuch-Carron family, did not do his duping for many decades using a national newspaper. Poor Pintard...and poorer yet....the betrayed Bahamian supporters of the FNM....have been revealed as suckers or saps for the last 50+ years. Put another way, the old wealthy Bahamian supporters of the FNM have either died or moved on to much greener pastures and the FNM simple lacks wealthy corrupt financial-backers at home and abroad with skin in the game of royally screwing the Bahamian people. I suspect these thoughts will ignite the 'bot' mindset.

LMAO

What a fool corrupt and incompetent Davis is. The entire international community heard the ICJ admit that their their so called climate ruling was purely symbolic because it is non-binding and therefore cannot be enforced in any court in the world. Yup, Stumpy Davis takes us all for fools.

All of you posting here choose, for whatever reason, to ignore the real problem.

BPL is no longer controlled by government. It is now controlled by a cabal of corrupt marauders led by the sinister and deceitful likes of the greedy Snake and Tony Ferguson who are laughing all the way to the bank.

Yup, our most corrupt and incompetent PM Davis foolishly turned control of most of our nation's energy sector over to the insatiably greedy Snake of all people. Snake and his cabal of marauders will squeeze every penny they can out of electricity consumers for years to come and, when they can no longer do so, they will simply dump BPL back on the government..

They take their cue from the very top - Davis.

You and IslandWarrior should be joined in matrimony. lol

Got timed out.... above should read in it's entirety as follows:

Wow! And the controlling shareholders of the commercial banks derive the benefit of these hefty profits by seeing to it that the banks continue to pay their depositors little to no interest while they reap the benefit of investing the deposits they receive from their customers in short-term treasury bills issued by the Bahamas government that earn interest at over 4% per annum.

Now this is a sweet deal for the government because it gets to print more money to fund its insatiable borrowing needs using the deposits of bank customers who receive little or no interest. It is also a sweet deal for the controlling shareholders of the banks who get to pocket as dividends the enormous difference between the interest the banks received from government and the interest they pay to their depositors.

The only losers here are the poor customers whose deposits earn little or no interest while the purchasing power of their hard earned savings are ravaged by the eroding effects of high inflation. And the government and the banks will try tell all of the poor depositors that the economy is doing well. Yup, the economy is certainly doing well for everyone but the poor bank depositors!

But as the government keeps borrowing by rolling over and increasing the total amount of its issued short-term treasury bills, the balance sheets of the commercial banks, pension asset management funds, insurance companies, etc. are becoming saturated with investments in short-term government debt that creates unhealthy structural risks for these financial institutions.

Government issuing only short-term debt instruments in an exchange control regime in an attempt to use inflation to eventually monetize and reduce its over-all domestic debt is not going to end well for many holders of government debt in the next severe economic downturn.

Wow! And the controlling shareholders of the commercial banks derive the benefit of these hefty profits by seeing to it that the banks continue to pay their depositors little to no interest while they reap the benefit of investing the deposits they receive from their customers in short-term treasury bills issued by the Bahamas government that earn interest at over 4% per annum.

Now that a sweet deal for the government that gets to print more money to fund its borrowing needs using the deposits of bank customers that pay little or no interest with the controlling shareholders of the banks pocketing the difference.

The only losers here are the poor customers whose deposits earn little or no interest while the purchasing power of their hard earned savings are ravaged by the eroding effects of high inflation.
