never, the sad thing is anyone who chooses not to follow these old tactics will never win an election

They're not even trying to hide. On Wednesday the Tribune reported the USA warning us to address corruption in our gaming industry.

Two days later the government makes this appointment.

Yes just enough to buy allies and make it seem like they do more good than harm. It's all calculated strategy.

It's those greedy criminals we need to catch not the nice ones who give some of their plundered loot back. right...

OMG, not this crook! There's no hope. Our government is incompetent, corrupt, unqualified to lead in a manner that helps the Bahamian public. They lead for themselves; greedy

Amen! There should have been a revolution on that day. Or an admission that we are not a free democracy.

"significant enough that young Bahamians should begin rethinking career paths that involve marine systems"

Open for interpretation

Should they rethink because the country will offer jobs with competitive pay and adequate funding to protect the marine systems?

Or because there's no hope that anything meaningful will be done and our marine systems will be lost so don't bother with this career.?

I see no evidence that our leaders will do anything but perpetuate the slack corrupt greed lifestyle.

Our society accepts violence as a form of communication and a solution. If we want to improve we must first accept something is wrong.

Our destiny is in our hands. Everything that has happened or is happening is because of the things we did, didn't do and allowed to happen. Most people don't go past free government schooling. What options do you have with this education?

Work a miserable job for $5/hour with no opportunities for meaningful progression.
Or work as a servant to tourists, cleaning rooms, washing dishes and entertaining them. You think they're laughing with you when they're actually laughing at you.

A lack of education and fulling opportunities is the biggest issue. If we had fulfilling lives then people would act responsibly to preserve that life. But when you're living a destitute, depressed and hopeless life then why not risk it? You feel alive taking those risks and if you get killed then your suffering is over.

We need to own this if we want to change it.

I wish we would find out "how worthless and cruel" our politicians are. But sadly I have no hope of this because greed and corruption in our government has been consistent for decades and we have done nothing. We're so naive to think voting someone out changes anything for us.
I have no hope of us Improving because a reasonable, competent and uncorrupt politician will never win. Election time is like Christmas; bribes and favours lined up. Any uncorrupt politician running is like voting for the Grinch. The average citizen lacks long-term vision or memory.

Unbelievable! In our Christian nation.
