We have a government that is uneducated, and corrupt to the core.
They have no understanding for anything other than their personal greed.
The average person in The Bahamas will continue to suffer. This will undoubtedly occur for at the very least, the next few generations.
The educated class is, and will continue to flee this country, just like the boaters.
If you are Bahamian and cannot see this, your government has succeeded in your poor educational outcome and your inability to critically think.
And Christians? My God!
The numbers don't lie, for those Bahamians who can still read and do math.
The Caribbean is up, The Bahamas is down.
No business person is OK with this. No business can borrow, borrow, borrow, and tax, tax, tax, like this administration.
There are almost no honest leaders in this country. This is a criminal enterprise which will leave the vast majority of Bahamian people destitute.
This boating imbroglio is only the tip of the iceberg for what is coming.
The chickens will soon come home to roost.
Actually, they already have, yes?
We continue to elect the worst among us to lead this nation.
And expect different results.

First off, they don't care.
Secondly, they don't care.
Thirdly, they do not have the brain power, education, or moral guidance to see what this does to The Bahamas.
They will continue to tax and borrow more and more to the point where they have made enough to flee to their security surrounded palaces in Nassau, or have amasses enough to flee the country, see Lockhard.
They don't care.
They have no economic education. Only fealty to a party and their job.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Shunda is there for what? Brilliance? As Dept. of Inland Revenue is only enforcing the law.
Yes, sometimes with officers and guns, lest we think they are still civil and reasonable.
These taxes are a must in the face of total corruption, the poorest work ethics in the Western Hemisphere, an uneducated ruling elite, and a compromised business community.
Yet, at the very top of the list, we don't care.
We will continue to borrow, despite any reasonably educated person realizing we have dug a hole too deep to arise from. There will be no next generation Bahamian middle class.
And, the lack of comments that make sense prove that to be true.
But still, we don't care. Once I get mine, the rest can perish.
We don't care.

If we can't see that The Bahamas has a complete and total leadership void, nothing can ever change.
We continue to scrape the bottom of the barrel, expecting the cream to show itself.

100% correct.
That is why no Christian pastor or politician will get on board.
We don't care about others.
Look around at Christmas season in Nassau.
We don't care, think or have any respect for others.
What is not clear?
This generation does not give a damn about anything other than themselves.
They can't even see the change.

Is this why The Bahamas can never get anywhere?
Is this the level of discourse, while we have educated, decent Bahamians fleeing this country?
Is this indicative of the overall mentality and mental acuity of our nation?
No positivity for the Bahamian people.
Only back biting and disgrace.
Why was the Lockhart article off limits to commenting.
What would it truly reveal?
That we are the company we keep?
Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are?
A big legal / ruling class club here, and we ain't in it?
How many Bahamians actually read / know / care, what's going on in this country?
Apathy is correct! And, it's not by design?
Complete secrecy in the PM office. No Freedom of Information act. Apathy by design, perhaps.

In a Christian country, there would be no need for charitable contributions to take care of our most needy.
Anyone see a picture of the MPs?
Do they look underfed?
Yes, an educated populace would demand that there be a nationalization of the web shops.
A national lottery where All of the proceeds go to helping the Bahamian People.
Not a scheme whereby politicians are bought by the web shop owners.
No wonder these politicians are happy that Bahamians don't read or think.

Shut up birdie.

So, if this has been going on for how long now.
Why is the Minister of Health, along with the PM and all other MPs rushing these multi million dollar clinics all over the place while our nation's capital continues to provide poor service and is totally understaffed by foreigners?
I think we know the answer.

Yup

Banana Republic is an insult to bananas.
We are lost.
