The Bahamas Economy is handicapped by years of petty political assassination, discrimination and bias that follow politicians (from both sides of the fence) into governing the Bahamas years after completing the general election battlefield.

The Bahamas is not a true country, we live here only because we are the leisure location for Mericans that has the free time for 3-day vacations and back home or to work within 24 hours - minus that, we are dead, just a new group of 'boat people'

Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is calling; the Bahamas, along with caricom, would be wise to seek membership alliance with other new and upcoming world alliances that are reasonable, friendly, less politicized and supportive. Because what I am starting to hear sounds like it's that time to give a call to Uncle Putin in Russia; I am sure the tourist from Russia are better spenders, less complaining and much more pleasant guests ...and with cheaper fuel, we would have the perfect package. 🥳

Bahamians don't trust Politicians ' Period governance in the Bahamas has created a country that is not real; self-interest and 'who you know is the order of the day. While Minnis, (who should keep his mouth shut) had the opportunity to fix the years of wrongs issued out to Bahamians under the despised of 'we care for you. With just under 400,000 persons and over 50 years of self-governance, we can't get it right for all Bahamians; yes, the Bahamas has been perfect for some of us. But greed, simple greed, selfishness and ego just created what we see now as a country that is tethered to crises, where Bahamians will soon be the new boat people risking lives to reach the shores of south Florida, becoming the third Caribbean Country of Migrant Refugees.

A $1 billion plan to transform electricity provision in the Bahamas yesterday, proposed a $1 billion plan to transform electricity provision in the Bahamas.

#The plan, which aims to curb electricity prices in the long run, would see power provided to The Bahamas by a Florida power plant via a submarine electrical cable running from a Florida electrical grid to Clifton Pier.

#Mr Mortimer, who said the project would take about two years to complete, compared his proposal to a current project between Canada and the United States. The project would see a “Lake Erie connector” run from Ontario, Canada, into Pennsylvania, US.

#“One of the major issues impacting our country is the issue of power and the cost of power primarily,” he said during a press conference, adding that the country should take advantage of its “strategic location”.

#“The Bahamas cannot continue to be a prosperous country for corporations and mom-and-pop businesses without dealing with this issue. BEC spends on average between $700m and just over $1bn every year purchasing fuel in an archaic system that does not serve our country well. We are advancing a proposal that we believe will dramatically alter the cost of power in The Bahamas. We will deliver the cheapest per kilowatt of power in the region. We’re going to take advantage of our strategic location. We’ve done this before on various platforms.*

But these fool suggestions would not get anywhere as long as money is made by some Harthless Greedy Bahamians who view the crisis and hardship of Bahamians as opportunities.

The Bahamas is much too small to be playing the stupid American Political Games of sanctioning other countries to its detriment. The Bahamas following these fools will be of no benefit to us, nor will the Americans care to offer support when the Bahamas fall into crisis.

Never in the history of any world crisis have we seen the cost of supporting egos and adventurism totalling in the 100s of billions as it is with the Russia/Ukraine conflict. And the Bahamas is walking 'in step' as if it has some resources or political power to follow the Americans.

Fuel is available from Iran, Venezuela and Russia. If the Americans don't like it, then fix the problem and provide a solution to the high cost of living because of your stupid useless wars. The Bahamas is too soft with the Americans.

In the words of Barbados Prime Minister, the Honorable Mia Mottley, 'we have also seen others use alternative mechanisms'.

The Bahamas has much more to overcome than the death of 'Elizabeth Alexandra Mary' before considering changes to the Administrative Governing System. We have yet to satisfy the basic needs of Bahamians and control the culture of corruption and privilege among public servants. Hell, I cannot get the current Minister of Fisheries to answer my email after 85-days; The Bahamas have plenty of fixing before anything new ...not to mention the petty political bias that identifies a Bahamian by his constitutional right to give electoral support to a political party of choice, but by doing so will decide his right and how he exists in the country from one governing party to the next, should we move this ugly picture to a new frame? ...fix what we have now first, before adventurism and chaos.
