Your employer probably has similarly thoughts about you. If you have employees they probably have similarly thoughts about what u pay. But let’s focus on the question I asked, how much do you give to persons in need?

True, that project is difficult to swallow. However, I appreciate that that is money is the pocket of men and women who probably wouldn’t be working either.

exactly, what nonsense. there are many public servants and private sector employees working long hours and overtime, that they don't get to claim for. The nurses are referring to specific covid 19 bonus etc they were promised. Another example of Bahamian jealousy and ignorance.

how do you know they don't help persons in need? How much do you two donate and give to those in need every month?

I don’t know if the parties are campaigning. PLP seems to do what they always do try and run nasty smear campaigns and appeal to Bahamians - or maybe whoever their bases is - ignorance and assy-ness. I guess all parties have assy supporters. However, for ppl to be carry on bout PLP all day has to be a sign of Stockholm syndrome or idiocy. I guess they have forgotten the past fifty years. FNM needs new candidates and a new cabinet. I’m sure they all won’t make it. But Bahamians are ignorant and jealous, always talking about who they don’t like, well you’ll continue to have old washed up men handing you brown paper full of Vienna sausage and white rice cause they are nice and grin up with u when they see you

I wanna hear about his environmentally friendly oil drilling plan...clown.

Also, I believe insurers may have cheated people. But also believe and know from first hand experience many people under insure their homes to keep the payments low and then want to complain about the payout. I received full payout from my credible insurer to repair my roof that did not require an additional dime from me, I am lucky I guess. Also, if the insurers cheats u why not sue, why is the first instinct to blame the govt.
It’s difficult coming from North America then adapting back to Bahamians approach to everything.

I wonder if the plp govt will make you a billionaire or at the very least happy enough that you are online talking about ppl behind an alias.

So can you answer a simple and straightforward question that gets to the crux of the issue? do you honestly and realistically think in this climate the govt has the money to help ten of thousands of people rebuild their home and is simply choosing not to? The dra is a government entity like all govt entities they only have money the govt gives them. Does bpl and the ministry of works who is responsible for power and infrastructure have money and is choosing not to spend it? Does social services and nib who is responsible for helping people have money and is choosing not to spend? Do you believe water and sewage who is the next entity responsible for relevant infrastructure has money and is not spending it? Do you hold dr sands and ministry of health accountable for those bodies? In my opinion he has yet to take responsibility for his role as minister at the time.
I have no issues with laying criticism but this article is misleading and clear has some agenda, either it’s political or an attempt to sell newspapers, as this whole saga has been in my opinion. From independence cabinet decides what money goes where, so how do these issues lay at the feet of the dra? Until ppl are prepared to have conversations that are not politically motivated and convulted there will not be any swift and efficient progress.

I live in Grand Bahama.

Abaco was not the first island to be hit by hurricane. Abaco is not the only island that contributes. That’s not the point.
The point is how do we logically and sensible argue at the same time that Dorian was a once and a lifetime hurricane when it’s convenient for us. Then dismiss the argument when we wish to complain about how fast our private homes that we built or were living in with no insurance should be rebuilt by the public. If u accept that 3 billion in damages occurred- numbers quoted by intl bodies, since we don’t trust govt - pray tell where is 3 billion dollars coming at the snap of a finger to repair everything. No one has a problem with abaconians but I find is strange how they - Bahamians - seem to only want to politicize what they describe as a once and a lifetime storm. Is that a tactic to get what we want? I don’t know. As if the govt being different would change that reality. As if the govt being different would make 3 billion dollars appear. Furthermore, maybe I am not jaded as yet, but why would the govt intentionally not want to help if they could? I’m pretty sure I am younger than you but I find it disturbing how Bahamians of a certain age just insist on politicizing everything. We are just as bad the Americans at this point - narcissistic, emotionally unhinged, only prepared to blame others for our problems when life takes a turn.
Furthermore, abaconians were the ones talking about their all powerful second home owners and what they were gonna do for the island.
