You are completely correct.
On the Family Islands it is even worse, as the frozen and refrigerated foods can sit on the dock and in the back of the pickup truck for far too long before it gets to the food stores.
However, even with traceability, how many actually of these items can be returned and the supplier held accountable?

It is sad to see the Dept. of Inland Revenue, perhaps unwittingly, so negatively impact the economy of The Bahamas.
We must remember why these draconian measures arose in the first place.
Soon, there will truly only be the rich and the poor in this country.
And, the vast majority will be the poor.
Sad to see the direction we are headed.

Not one word of that made any sense, birdie.
Did it make sense in your head?

Well said, and I appreciate your in-depth and frank analysis and commentary.

"She said there was no logical excuse for what happened and promised it would be the last time someone throws the mace out while she is Speaker."
Hopefully, her stay as Speaker is as short as possible.
She casts a dark shadow over the entire process.
The vast majority of Bahamians, I believe, are in support of what the FNM did.
Enough is enough.

At this point, it is very hard to believe any high ranking public official here in The Bahamas.
You are telling me that of all these names called already, the Minister of National Security and the Prime Minister didn't know something was up?
All of them are suspect, not least because of the indictments.
We knew we couldn't trust them, long before this.
If they cared about this country they would resign.
Their presence in office offers no benefits to The People, at this point in time.
This administration has failed on every metric; to improve our freedoms, our standard of living, our indebtedness, transparency of government, crime reduction, etc.
They are clearly there for themselves, nothing more.
The Bahamian people should be ashamed. Our elected officials have seriously let this country down.
If we couldn't do it, I am glad the US will put some of these jokers in jail.
Lord knows we have many, many more politicians and high ranking officials who deserve to be behind bars.

The failure of leadership has already occurred and is evident to all.

When bankers rule the world......
What do bankers produce?
Why would there ever be a rich banker?
Will The Bahamas fall for it again?
As we have so many times in the past.

Please stop asking pertinent and important national questions.
We are focused on junkanoo here.

Same way electing the PLP to govern us is even a question
