$2,000 damage to repair is a really good price. I was expecting restoration to cost much more considering you have to match the art style of the existing statue.
People need to know there are opportunities that pay a decent wage. Otherwise, they have to do what they think is necessary to survive.
Ideally, parents would be empowered to help pave a secure and prosperous future for their children. However many parents are fighting for survival themselves. It's up to our largest employer (the Government) to set an example and lead. The things that happen at work translate to home life. If you're lazy and slack at work you're the same at home. If you carry yourself with respect and integrity and the employer values that; then employees will demonstrate those values in public and at home as well.
Unfortunately, generations have been lost and Governent will need to put in extra effort to carry one generation down the right path. Then that generation will automatically program the generation they raise and the cycle will sustain itself.
Until then we're stuck in this cycle and the people can't correct the culture of the community on their own. They need leaders and opportunity.
Bahamians deserve to know. It will take generations of Bahamians to pay this debt for no apparent benefit.
Imagine being born and being responsible for your parent's mortgage. For a house that was never built. What hope do you have to pay back a house that was never built and eventually afford to build your own house?
Selling away the country won't fix the problem because the same practices will continue until we have to sell again.
We have too much government. This is just one example: In Britain 1 MP represents on average 92,000 people. Based on the Bahamas population we should have 4 MPs for all of the Bahamas. We have on average 39 MPs, what are their salaries and is it worth it?
What a joke. Our "democracy" is controlled by a corrupt elite.
This man legalized gambling, benefitting a few mobsters even though the people voted no. Sensible countries lotteries are owned by the Government and funds go towards building the country and helping the people. No one should profit off of poor people's desperation and addictions.
