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.

agreed

Absolutely. The little investment in locals goes for political favours. We need a market that rewards those who will execute competitive and valuable services not greedy idiots with connections. We live in a country ruled by monopolies, oligarchs, unions and mob bosses.

Slavery 2.0. We're not operating a free market economy where each individual has the power to move up and down the socioeconomic ladder based on merit and competence.

Already max out his union pension amount. Now working on a max government pension.

The kids are happy though. Good for them.

The last time I went to Potters Cay the worker was embarrassed to tell me to use the toilet you walk to the back and relive yourself directly into the ocean. After that, I'm supposed to come back and enjoy the conch salad.

I know we can do better and I know there are Bahamians that know how to do better. But we live in a society where those people don't get the opportunities. Opportunities go to those who know the right people not to who will create the best product.

Taxpayer money going to build back these mismanaged businesses. Government shouldn't be involved. Create the conditions for private market development and innovation. Potters Cay is a slum. We must set our standards higher if we want to elevate our society out of these conditions. Look across the harbour at Paradise Island, if they can do great things on our land then what's stopping us? Potters Cay could be a world-class tourist destination. A marketplace to get the freshest foods and crafts coming from the family islands. A place where Bahamians go to get a taste of the family island cultures on a nice evening dinner.

Where's the vision? We settle for this slack lifestyle.

This easy handout lifestyle where most of us "working" for the government or begging, living and working in slums. Hoping for some politician to save us instead of being empowered to do great things ourselves.

rich off of the poor and ignorant people. it should be illegal

There should've been a revolution when the people voted NO to legalization but the Government did it anyway. It was blatant evidence of the lie that we live in a democracy.
