Why anyone in this day in age believe that they can "sow a seed" and give a pastor 10 dollars and get ten fold back is beyond me. Why anyone would believe that they can bet on three numbers straight for a dollar and get 500 back is beyond me. Why anyone believes that they can invest 100 and get back 2000 is beyond me. But all of these scenarios happen daily in the Bahamas. Twice a day. It is the something for nothing culture - logic, good sense or arithmetic have no place in such a mindset. And there will always be those willing to take other peoples money. Whats even worse is that these schemes catch people at least once a year. I am beginning to think we no longer read. What a time.
This is a crime. How did these people get business licenses? All of them need to be charged and go to jail. They are no different than Bernie Madoff just on a smaller scale and Jesus will come before he gets out of prison.
Any other ideas besides tourism? Bahamas has very little growth potential in this area- except in the lovelier and quaint family islands. Grand Bahama just isn't interesting. Never has been.
Are the runners of these ponzi schemes arrested and charged with fraud? Bernie Madoff is in prison until Jesus comes for doing the same thing on a grander scale. Why is this such a lawless country? No repercussions for wrong doing? Sure the people who fell for it were fools but those who organized it are criminals and should be jailed.
This kind of logic in our elected leaders is the reason we are in the situation we are in. These seem intelligent- but are severely limited in their thinking and capabilities. Plain idiots. depressing.
Bahamians need to understand the need to stem the tide of violence and crime for themselves- Not the tourists. Until that happens nothing will change, because quick fixes and posing cannot be sustained in this social media world we live in.
