Very strange understanding of free speech and democracy of our Fred Extraordinaire. You are making an ass out of yourself and totally un-electable going forward.
really? 200 jobs? they will be gone tomorrow, if competition is introduced. this is just the classic redistribution of jobs. the new carrier will hire the best of BTC for a premium and BTC will go in to retain them at a premium. It is called competition. The reality though is that Bahamians will not pay more overall for using their phones, maybe even less. The market is capped. don't expect any wonders from the competition.
took me 11 months to renew a work permit for a foreign national (3rd renewal) working in my company (white collar). no denial. department of immigration misplaced/lost file twice.
I agree with you, however in all fairness, he is one of the few that opens his mouth and speaks his mind. Most of the others are stuck so far up the government's a++ that they never see the daylight.
I guess to duppyVAT or MadHatter, whoever believed the other day, Bahamians have no money outside the country, check out the Nassau Guardian today. so 51 Bahamian passport holders hold more than USD 7 Billion Dollars in accounts with ONE bank in Switzerland? Aren't these people required to report foreign assets to the Central Bank? I wonder whether they did, we all know one or two naturalized Bahamians that had a lot of money to begin with at the time they became Bahamians. But the rest? So if a portion of that money were in the Bahamas, injected into our economy as working capital, that would create jobs and would spare us from being cheap on Haitians immigrants, and would spare us from Union leaders asking for 350 BSD minimum wage. If only the government/s would finally start to create an environment that would entice these wealthy Bahamians to invest the money here, we all could be very happy people again, with good education, well paying jobs, young Bahamian entrepreneurs coming up with great ideas, production. A land where milk and honey are flowing.
