Bahamian voters literally voted in the exact same PLP that they voted out 4.5 years prior to the election; you are going to be extremely disappointed if you are hoping for a political solution lol.

Biden is most certainly not "far-left", just as Trump is most certainly not "far-right". The US is a one party state with the Dems being the "inner party" and the GOP being the "outerparty" to borrow an Orwell-ism. The governing ideology of both parties is a fusion of neo-liberalism on domestic issues, corporatism on economic ones, and neo-con warhawkish views on foreign policy. The dissdent right and left in America are both suppressed because the ruling party wants no alternatives to crop up, just like here where any alternative to the single party that is the FNM and PLP is suppressed. It is all kabuki theater for the blind and gullible to keep the masses entertained while the country is raped.

I agree with you that Biden is most certainly not "far-left", but I am interested in hearing your thoughts on how Jesus would be on the "far-left" (considering the limitations of measuring political ideologies on a 2D left-right scale in the first place).

Nothing will happen, everything will be swept under the rug and the masses will forget about this as the next "current thing" is in the headlines.

Gubermint has money to piss away on Moncur and Egypt though lol. Bunch of clowns.

What you write about the shift to investment properties following the come-uppance of VRBO and AirBnB is true, but the government benefits tremendously from the tax collected on that revenue as well.

LastManStanding says...

This is a global phenomenon and nothing unique to here. I think what makes our situation unique is that the informal economy is still very prominent here and a lot of people on the Family Islands are self employed in shaky economies, making loans a lot riskier. It is a self perpetuating cycle : banks do not want to give out risky loans, so they require more put down up front, which then puts housing further out of reach for working class individuals/families that are already barely managing to come up with the deposit.

Our economic system needs a complete overhaul, this issue is merely a symptom of a far greater problem.

Well, the housing and rental situation is honestly no better overseas either. Rent in any major North American city is just as bad, if not worse, as here; same situation for working class people with being unable to afford closing costs or save up for a deposit as well. Immigration crunching the markets in those big cities does not help buyers or renters either.

The real problem is that most people in general are fiscally illiterate and do not understand how their wealth has been stolen from them. The purchasing power of the dollar has done nothing but decline for the past century, and wages have not kept up with inflation. History is a big circle and we are now going back to feudalist/serfdom times where owning land will be all but a dream for everyone but the top 10% of society. It won't get any better.
