If this quote doesn't show you that voting is truly a waste of time, I don't know what will. He is just saying the quiet part out loud and telling everyone that the wishes of the Bahamian people are worthless and that it doesn't matter what we think. I still remember the number houses referendum a decade ago, it was a watershed moment for me politically because it was probably the first time that I saw what a waste of time voting was when the voice of the Bahamian people would not be respected in any event. It's kabuki theatre that only midwits still believe in.
I would take it a step further and say that we need to retroactively revoke certain citizenships just like the Dominican Republic did a little while back.
Head of state wields no real power in the day to day affairs of this country, what does replacing King Charles with another government teat sucking parasite really accomplish? Absolutely nothing.
The whole issue of a republic is brought up solely by politicians who are completely out of touch with what the average Bahamian has to endure on a daily basis to survive; they fail to realize that nobody really cares because there are literally a thousand bigger problems that need to be dealt with.
The people who can't afford to pay rent are probably not going to be buying land and getting a mortgage for a house anytime soon. Even if they can afford to pay rent, it is a vicious cycle of not being able to save up for a down payment because the rent sucks out half your pay (or more in some places) and you have little to nothing left by the time you account for your other expenses.
Another part of it is the fact that everyone wants skilled labour but nobody wants to pay skilled labour salary. Most companies that I have seen struggling to find labour simply are not paying enough to get what they want. That is a complex issue because this country is an expensive one to do business in, but a lot of Bahamian employers are stuck thinking that salaries from 20 years ago are adequate to survive in the modern Bahamas.
These women need to sit small and stop opening their mouths because the minute the police come to lock up their sons we will hear the usual "he was a good boy who dindu nuffin" spiel that has become iconic at this point.
Why the locked comments under the caricom "assault weapons" article? Maybe because no one can actually define what an "assault weapon" is? That being said, Minnis is correct in criticizing Davis for his strategy because the case they are bringing against gun manufacturers in the United States has zero chance of succeeding.
The real problem is that basic civil rights such as firearms ownership and the right to bail while being tried are meant for civilized societies with people that have evolved past hunter-gatherers, which really doesn't work with the kind of people that we have residing here. The Bahamas is just another case study proving that exporting Western civilization to third world countries has been a massive failure and huge waste of time and resources. Some people are never going to figure it out.
