The finish work was done mostly by bahamians. They brought n the foreigners for the cheap labor but eventually Bahamians learned the trade. Even at The Pointe, when the Chinese grew wary of Covid and asked to return home to China, additional Bahamian craftsmen were hired and were able to salvage some shoddy work. And Bahamians were also working the 8 hours on, 8 hours off as well as the 12 hours shifts.

It is a LIE to say that young Bahamians have no skills. And that LIE has been perpetrated for too long. And yes, it is turning more and more individuals to crime. Not because they don’t have skills, but because they are not getting hired. Compare the workmanship of Atlantis, where Bahamians did most of the work to Tge Pointe or Bah Mar that was done by foreigners. Even after dressing up the work cosmetically, it doesn’t compare. And this ‘’D’ average narrative is continued by idiots and persons who are part of the agenda. Most skilled craftsmen and tradesmen are not ‘A’ or’B’ or’C’ students academically. But they are skilled with their hands and in their craft and are physically able to carry out such labor. Working at great heights, long hours and doing heavy lifting. Bahamians are being systematically excluded from the work force in their own country. And unfortunately high crime,even cannibalism crime is a result of this. And the proof of this is that on the islands where most of the population is working, especially the young men, crime is close to zero. Check out Grand Bahama or Abaco or Eleuthera or Exuma or most of the other islands for that matter. But in Nassau crime has become almost the norm. And government must find a way to get young males back in the mainstream. The system continues to breathe criminals because the alternatives don’t offer much difference. No one can justify murder, even the accidental killing of an innocent person in persuit of another. This killing machine has been active on New Providence for three decades at least. The point is the persons that were doing the killings 20-30 years ago are not the same ones committing murder today. So what does that tell you?

If it was a hit then most likely he doesn’t know him. Read the story below the headline one. Guy just got released from jail. So most likely he doesn’t know the shooter. But they may be able to connect the dots.

How effective is the shot spotter/camera system that conservative governments claim to have invested so many millions in? If shots are fired the shot spotter supposed to activate the camera system that is supposed to alert the police and assist in helping identify the culprits. Likewise if a crime is reported the camera system is supposed to help police monitor the area for any fleeing vehicles or suspects. In some countries these devices are very effective. And because crime has been so significantly reduced, police even use them to monitor simple things like littering.

The most dangerous thing is a young punk with a weapon. When he panicks he will become reckless and continue to fire the weapon regardless of who may get hit. Even jail is too good a place for these animals who obviously don’t respect or value human life. The justice system is failing the innocent, law abiding citizens of this country, many who are becoming victims to crime and others who are dying from stray bullets. Then the criminals lay up in Fox Hill and get fat on the taxpayer’s dime. This unfortunate victim was shot in her chest and face several times. Obviously the shooter didn’t care who got hit by his bullets.

All the sour grapes rolling off the wine press. All at once. Culture is multifaceted and cannot be contained in a cardboard box. No one person can decide what is appropriate or inappropriate. If the Arabs approved the performances and allowed them to be displayed, then why should Bahamians have an issue?

Maybe they should’ve taken more White Bahamians. What is the culture of White Bahamas anyway? Interesting. They love to party in Abaco.

Actually bIm bringing nit down to the level of the masses

It’s a tourism opportunity , yes?

So what if the government collects all the royalties due from the tiefin of sand and aragonite plus its share of the treasure on the five sunken ships )$5 billion in total) plus add a ‘splurge tax’ of $20 on every tourist that visits this year, then sends every Bahamian, that wants to go, to Dubai? Will that make yin’s feel better?
