I agree with all of you. Nonetheless, i am always surprised at how fast we are to believe what white men say...or perhaps we are just fast to believe anyone who has something to say contradicting a statement from the government. Well, old people believe information we read on facebook and whatsapp riddled with grammatical errors so.

I agree with you. A few years ago, i cam home from living abroad. I paid for two bags, apparently bahamasair gave you a free bag. I didnt know. A bahamian behind me commented that i paid cause i have money. I thought to myself, firstly, no other airline in the world gives you free luggage unless your travelling business or first class. I found it interesting as my fellow bahamians rangled with their twenty bags and boxes in fort lauderdale airport that we really have some expectations/entitlements that we dont want to acknowledge. Bahamasair requirss millions in subsidy but we believe that bahamasair/ govt should not even engage in standard practices that viable airlines do...maybe in meeting and accomodating bahamians expectations it is vital

Are they referring to the video with the women pouring liquor in each other’s mouth, then kissing? ....I guess it’s inappropriate for defence officers during a lockdown, I don’t know why people feel the need to record themselves doing everything. Social media is an addiction. However, if that was lewd I think Bahamians may be just indulging in some type of phobia, I be scene worse at fish fry or any of these little dirty clubs and parties round here, furthermore, if thats lewd then some people shouldn’t ask their children what goes on in college.

I think it’s important that we take note of the classism and rascism that We fund. If you turn on a vpn, for instance, and jump on YouTube you see all manner of advertisements featuring white or mulatto people lounging, sailing through are crystal waters, or Lenny kravits driving speed boat. We, black people, are usually serving or making conch salad in these videos, and the garbage filled streets of new Providence do not appear. I only say this to opine, that I hope we keep the same energy in relation to our covid motivation to diversify this economy. Not to abandon tourism, but to expedite Bahamians to a different role or status in tourism. That is not to deny that we do have examples of Bahamian ownership in hotels and transportation etc. I wish the country would not be so reliant on big resort hotels and that More smaller boutique hotels, maybe no bigger than a Turnberry in Aventura could pop, and really propel The ownership factor.

Dr sands was one of the most powerful parliamentarians ? Interesting, so 2017 was the first election he was successful in, he was almost out the party after that business with Turner, he made every decision that apparently the nation found so disrespectful: trailer, the plane, that reminds why was no one offended by the trailer outside pmh morgue but...anyway, the junior doctors strikes.

I dont think they are debating whether its needed, they are probably trying to figure whose gonna pay another 20 million to rebuild an airport that has been destroyed by hurricane how many times this decade.

I wonder if the hypocrites will have a problem with this - or has it been resolved that our outrage, talks about corruption, and obsession with how much money other people making is usually driven by political agendas.
