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
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.
Our justice system seems to only apply to poor people; this $1.6 billion dollar case, Peter Nygard, Sam Bankman-Fried, etc. only faced judgment because of other countries' involvement. Imagine what else is happening in our borders; while our police, DEA, defense force, courts, etc. government agencies are focused on punishing and controlling poor people
I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if we are "independent" in a country where the former empire owns and controls most of the land, resources and economy.

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.
