What happened is that the powers that be got to identify who were their willing slaves, those that could be pressured into complying with whatever they want by threatening their job, social life, etc, and those that would refuse to bend the knee under any circumstances. The COVID hoax was nothing more than a massive shit test for governments to see how far they could force the population into going along with the most asinine and retarded restrictions so they could calculate how much leeway they have in enforcing further totalitarian restrictions in the future. We are already hearing talk of "climate lockdowns" and other such nonsense, so this issue will reappear very soon in the future.

I have difficulty feeling sorry for anyone that injected that poison into their body simply because common sense should have told them that injecting an experimental treatment into your body that you can't even hold the manufacturers liable for is a horrible idea. Biggest problem in the world is that we are too busy coddling stupid people so therefore I say let the herd be culled. Natural selection will breed docility out of the gene pool.

Also, the FOIA is a complete waste of time because at the end of the day the government still has final say in releasing any information to the public. They will simply stonewall or outright refuse to release pertinent info as long as it suits them. This currently happens in jurisdictions with this mythical "good governance". Even if a whistleblower comes forward, one only need to look at Assange or Snowden to see how the system treats those who divulge information that is actually damning to their cause. Reality is that we the people have zero power in any of these "democracies" and the ruling cliques can do whatever they want without consequence.

This is so funny to read after seeing Shekelberg Sammy getting his campaign finance charges dropped lol. One openly corrupt government calling out another openly corrupt government lol.

That being said, nothing will ever change in this country because the people in power have zero incentive to change. Can't expect hungry man to stop eating in the middle of the buffet, the feast will continue until the food and drink runs out.

These new boat registration fees are insane, one has to wonder which government lunatic came up with these ridiculous numbers. The sheep must like getting fleeced though, considering this is what they keep voting for.

You can just go ahead and reprint like 90% of this article in the next 50 or 100 years as nothing will change in that time period. The real problem with Haiti is that the average IQ is in the mid 60s and they don't possess the necessary collective intelligence to function as a nation, but that is an uncomfortable truth to accept for most people. If they haven't figured out how to run in a nation in 200+ years, they are simply never going to figure it out. End of story.

Bahamians love having power shut off all of the time and having some of the highest electric bills in the Western hemisphere, they line up excited to vote for the same proven failures every five years.

To be fair, most Americans don't support the groomer movement so I wouldn't describe it as part of their culture. It took a court ruling on questionable grounds to make same sex "marriage" legal across the US when even a state such as California outright rejected the notion as late as 2008. Same story in Taiwan. Similar story here with the PHellP legalizing numbers houses despite the Bahamian people clearly voting against it.

The truth is that regular people have zero say in what happens in any of these countries; "voting" and "democracy" are no realer than anything you see on "reality" TV.

Tal,

If I understand your prose correctly, I agree with you that Abaco's success is certainly not because of it's representation. That being said, there is only so much that an MP can do when it comes to development, so I would not judge the representation too harshly on that basis. The representation since the Ingraham era has been subpar, but I think that Pinder is trying to be a good representative and I give Henfield a pass because he had a senior level Cabinet role as MoFA that required him to be off island most of the time.

To be quite honest we should have been incorporated as a territory of the United States a long time ago. It makes no sense pretending to be an "independent" nation when the reality is that our economy is completely dependent on one country alone. We are, for all intents and purposes, a vassal state of the US.

I think that John Pinder has been a good MP for Abaco; he makes sure that his constituents concerns are heard and conducts himself in a dignified manner. Quite frankly he is too dignified for the ghetto mentality that runs rampant in the PLP.

That being said, I agree that Abaco's resurgence and pre Dorian economic success is in spite of the government and not because of it.
