I don't know what Minnis expected when he brought political prostitutes like Miller and McAlpine on board and then expecting loyalty lol.

Whether it is the FNM, PLP, or a House full of independents, the Bahamas is screwed. The numbers are the numbers, and the economy is in the toilet for a while. The national debt that we have accumulated thanks to COVID is not going away any time soon, and tourism is a long way from coming back in significant strength. Abaco and Grand Bahama require millions for infrastructure repairs and investment, and the potential opening of Cuba to US travelers will only piss on the corpse of our dead in the water economy.

So many people here think kicking Minnis out will magically solve all of our problems that it is not funny. He isn't the best (there has been good and bad), but be careful we don't end up with worse lol.

Oh yes, and how about you pick up the phone more than half the time when I call to book a reservation. You guys must not be doing to badly, obviously you don't need any passengers lol.

How about you people get your website working if you want the airline to survive. Can't even design a properly working website, I actually have to place a phone call every time I need a ticket because your garbage site never works.

If the website is any indication of how the company is run, no wonder it is about to go out of business lol.

I am sorry, you are greatly oversimplifying the problem regarding the opening of Cuba to US travelers. The Bahamas is never going to be able to compete with Cuba.

We are an extremely costly travel destination and the economic reasons for that are not going to change anytime soon. Do you have any idea what the electric bills look like for the major hotels/resorts, the cost to import food and other necessities, and just the cost of doing business in general is like here? God forbid we ever started marketing our tourism product at Cuba prices, most Bahamian salaries would be a mere pittance of what they are now.

So many people here will let their orange man bad derangement override the welfare of their nation that it is saddening to see. Does anyone here legitimately think that either Trump or Biden gives a crap about Bahamians? Maybe Biden will give all of you refugee status when we turn into the next little Haiti lol.

I agreed with most of what you wrote here, we really need to ramp up tax enforcement. It is the same thing with BPL, we will never be able to have affordable light bills when certain people are privileged (I hate using that word) enough not to be required to pay their bills. The Bahamas as a whole needs a massive accountability and transparency overhaul, for far too long there has been one system of life for certain people, and another for the common folk.

"The result is one of the most unequal societies in our region"

I disagree with you entirely on this point. A lot of the supposed "inequality" here is due to the fact that we have a very high concentration of foreign expats that own extremely high value properties/other assets. Ever with the '08 Recession and Dorian + COVID in recent times, we are far ahead of nations such as Haiti, Jamaica, or even somewhere like T&T. The Bahamas has been in a gifted economic position for a very long time, relative to other nations in our region excluding the US, we just have had piss poor leadership for a large portion of the post-Independence era thus ruining our national development.

I will never support an income tax either.

1.) You will run large amounts of foreign investment out of the country (depending on how you set the rates/brackets

2.) We know that it will not be conducted fairly. As with everything else here, certain people will have to pay while others don't. As sometimes happens even in developed countries such as the US, it will no doubt be used for political/business targeting as well.

An income tax is just a horrible idea for the Bahamas no matter what. The rest of your article is spot on though.

FNM, PLP, whatever third party may try screw matters up even more, it doesn't matter. The situation has been bleak for a while now. When you have a national education average of a D, how can we surprised when we get D grade leadership?

You are incredibly naive to put it lightly. I am sure that those US dollars will flow into the hands of the Cuban people and not their corrupt government officials.

You are, quite honestly, the biggest asshole on this forum. Reading your comments under the Canadian letters absolutely disgusts me as someone familiar with the very generous and kindhearted expat community here. They pay property taxes, ludicrous BPL bills, maintenance workers and landscapers to help dumbass Bahamians like you have a country that isn't a third world shithole like nearly everywhere else in the region. Bahamians like you deserve the poverty what is coming.

I don't agree with everything what Kevin writes, but he is entitled to his opinion. To insult his intelligence based on the mere fact that he supports one candidate versus another reflects very highly of your own.

Despite the complaints about the journalism here (some of which are completely justified), it is still miles better than the sensationalist yellow garbage that the US news outlets produce.

Not a single part of my statement refuted with historical fact, or even an opposing theory, what a typical atheist response consisting of a snarky one liner that fails to refute any part of my statement.

If you are not in Nassau or an area otherwise contaminated with large amounts of artificial lighting, go outside and take a look at the stars sometime. Mankind is not even close to knowing everything about earth, the heavens, and cannot even get back to the moon at this point, yet somehow, atheists in their arrogance know for certain that God does not exist.

Answer me one question, and answer it in the best of your ability, if God does not exist, as you claim, how did the universe get here? At the end of the day, no matter which theory you subscribe too, someone had to create the universe.

I know that God exists personally because I wouldn't be alive today without His intervention. Unfortunately, I cannot impart my personal life experiences onto you. I can only pray for you (and will do so) that you have a change of heart. No Christian ever wants to see a soul lost. At the end of the day, we are both going to see who is right on the matter.
