Money can't fix this. What is done is what matters. But that's what the politicians are after, money to spend on other things. Then these leaders will fly to other countries when things get bad here.

How much money from Dorian-related aid went to the actual impacted people? Can we get an independent auditor to report on the conversion rate? Every $1 of aid resulted in how much $ in benefit to the persons impacted and the families of those who died. We need some quantitative facts based on real-world data. How was the aid distributed? Some statistical analysis not just feelings and politics.

Let me save everyone some time by jumping ahead:

We've investigated ourselves and found no personal wrongdoing. However, we've identified areas that need additional funding to improve and avoid issues in the future. These funds will come from an increase in taxes or loans. Thank you Bahamian people we intend to do right by you and correct the issues caused by (insert the opposite political party plp/fnm). It was not us that caused this. We're going to fly to the COP30 to beg for climate change money to spend on ourselves and our business colleagues.

We're a nation for sale. How many criminals are operating here? Foreigners like Peter Nygard, SBF, etc. were only brought to justice because the USA and Canada came after them in our borders. Do we forget the USA was investigating Sebas Bastian for money laundering and not even a week later the Bahamian Government appointed him as an ambassador which carries some protection/awkwardness for the USA to investigate another country's ambassador

True. The current situation punishes honesty. If most of the working people's lives are propped up by corruption/deals/stealing etc. Then it's not as obvious and united that the pay/economics of the work Bahamians is not livable. The locals can't afford to live in their country. You need to beg, have connections, be wrapped up in some shady schemes

Selling out the country. It's been happening for decades. We have little/no Bahamian middle class.

I don't comprehend your writing style. But this whole situation is 'fishy'.

Bahmians are spectators to foreign business deals related to Bahamian land, environment, and resources.

Just let us know who's our new boss and give the government their cut. Same job either way for Bahamians, cleaning and serving.

We wonder why, on average, Bahamians seem disenchanted and unmotivated at work.

I don't know how families survive in the Bahamas. You have to be involved in some sort of corruption, depend on connections, handouts, catching/growing your own food, some sort of scheme, etc. There's little to no opportunity to live a middle-class life in the Bahamas through working a 9 to 5 and living an honest life.
