Porcupine is 100% spot on. The lack of reliable basic services (electricity, water, phone and internet service, fire suppression, medical facilities) are all examples of a dysfunctional Government.

Somehow, someway, it simply has to improve. My business requires that I must travel to many different countries, all of whom are able to provide reliable basic services. There is a level of comfort that goes with that knowledge. Unfortunately, when I return home (New Providence), my comfort level is severely diminished, and I must be prepared to fend for myself and my family.

Bahamians deserve better.

LOL! Please expand on your statement that "Perhaps some have not read nor understand what the US Constitution demands". Enlighten us with the specifics of your Constitutional knowledge.

In a modern society, emergency services such as fire and rescue are basic level Government functions. In some cases, it can be accomplished by well trained and well equipped volunteer departments. Unfortunately, we have neither.

Why is this the norm here?

JohnQ says...

More nonsense from the Leftist Charlie.

The US Federal Government retains the power to enforce immigration law. President Trump is doing exactly that.

That being said, as evidenced by a separate article on this web site, we Bahamian's could benefit greatly from a Government that enforces immigration law.

More of the same from Socialist Democrat Bootlicker Charlie Harper. He continues to prove his irrelevance. As has been previously demonstrated, "columnists" like Charlie Harper have lost all of their credibility. Academia, Hollywood, Corporate media and many prominent Democrats fall into the same category as Bootlicker Charlie. They perpetuated the biggest scandal in American history.......the cover up of a feeble, incoherent President named Joe Biden.

And by the way, student visas are a privilege, not a right. They can be reviewed, revoked, and cancelled for any number of reasons.

The EU is responsible for any uncertainty in the relationship with United States. The EU has not lived up to the NATO funding agreements, and has repeatedly been cautioned about depending on US taxpayer money for defense, all the while doing big energy business with their most feared enemy, Russia. While at the same time, creating a business environment with the US that is distinctly one sided in the EU's favor. Trump spoke directly to the European leaders about NATO funding, and has instituted policy to level the business environment. The EU is now faced with reality.

As for Mr. Springsteen, he is one many (including mainstream corporate media, academia, Hollywood, Democrat politicians, and "Columnists") who repeatedly lied and covered up for Joe Biden. As a result, the American public (from both political parties) place little value on any of the comments coming from Socialist and Leftist elites, Democrats, and bootlicking "Columnists".

Of course you don't know. And you likely don't know where they are made either.

JohnQ says...

Ah yes......which items/products specifically?

JohnQ says...

LOL. Trump is doing exactly what he was elected to do. And, along the way he wags his tail and corporate media, Hollywood, academia, Democrats, and certain individuals like ThisisOurs, react. Quite entertaining.
