what corporations want is to secure a space that is vacuumed from any laws, regulations and oversight, so they can launder money, evade taxes, and implement their visions of good and bad. Look at Peter Thiel ("Paypal") etc. is still clinging to create his own country (this time in the form of a large conglomerate of floating barges beyond the 300 mi zone on the Pacific Coast off the U.S., last time he tried to buy a big chunk of Bolivia - all in the net). The Bahamas is the perfect environment for this. It is the ultimate dream of super capitalists, you have your own island and run it as your own country, you can buy all the people and you make your own rules. That is what this is all about.

Birdie, the point is she has all she needs: she scares the s##t out of the PLP and will - for the better of all - bring the PLP to reason to come up with an alternative that is an alternative to LBT. To have LBT on the other side, will help the PLP to get its house in order without a PGC. Talking about the other talents a PM should have is walking on thin ice.

the only thing that will fiscally save the Bahamas is a tax on sugar and soda and alcohol.

“There has been no ‘two notches’ downgrade. Most of the changes have been attributed to the changes in the fiscal position and increasing debt levels".

Thank you PGC, thank you Ms. Craigg, Thank you Easter Bunny and Santa Clause, we only had three "single notch" downgrades and not a single "two notches" downgrade.

"Liberty Global’s “future plans” for the Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) will weigh heavily on the Government’s decision over whether to approve its arrival in this nation, a Cabinet Minister said yesterday."

To the Minister in charge: It has arrived. Liberty did not buy BTC, it bought BTC's parent company. What are you going to do about that, pull the license of the only operating mobile/phone company in the Bahamas? Hurt feelings that no one bothered to ask? You do that, when someone in the U.S. buys the company that produces your favorite Mac n Cheese manufacturer selling stuff in the Bahamas? Going to the WTO to initiate a anti-competition procedure?

Or just ask yourself: "what is the price of a cup of tea in China?"

yep, he can just not get it right.

"He said as long as the country continues to be a tourist destination, there must be a heightened interest in security and new levels of commitment to meet the costs of security."

good one!!!! i thought the PLP was all about "Bahamians first". So now we know, economically speaking, Bahamians are "Untermenschen" and tourists are superior human beings. I have to say, on that picture that was circulated recently of PGC, the Pinocchio nose was wrong. Everything else seems to be accurate.

take the all the Citizen's of the Bahamas, deduct 50% of that number - all these people are better than Nottage. Anybody is good even. Someone needs to take the blame, be the impersonated blame and walk out of the government, that is Dr. Nottage. whether he is guilty of anything or nothing. That is how politics work. Get him out of the way, get a new face in, start building new trust. of course the problem does not go away overnight. but it is obvious that people make a difference. look at what happened to this country under PGC.

Without a doubt Ms. McIntosh, you were a shining light, a positive force for all the children you taught, including my children. Thank you for all you did, your smiles, your contagious happiness, filling the class room with the tough love the young generation of Bahamians don't get at home.. You did not deserve this. You were failed by the country you served with all your talent and heart and failed by the corrupt , dumb and lazy ass politicians. you were failed by all of us, We can not protect the best talent, we can not protect our future. This country is fucked up. Shame on all of us.

more dark pool money going back into the real economy. No one has 200 M other than the numbers boyz.
