Everything here is politics. Not one in government, it seems, has an iota of concern for the Bahamian people. How do politicians become rich in office? There is not one educated person I talk to that doesn't say, "This is the worst it's ever been". Why aren't our educated and decent children returning home? Is it lack of jobs? Or, the idea that brains have no standing in this country. The bottom line for moving up the political ladder seems to be, How Low Can You Go? It doesn't matter what is going on in the rest of the world. Our job is right here in front of us. The present PLP administration is destroying any hope for a Bahamian future. Smart parents are telling their kids to leave these shores, and not come home. Any real educated arguments countering this point of view? No real leaders in this country. Only chubby, selfish, ugly politicians.
Imagine if we had real leaders in this country. Instead, we have a bunch of immature children who spend their time fighting amongst themselves. The entire country suffers from a lack of intelligent, mature, honest leadership. Period. Not a one of them a real leader. So sad.
Obviously Dames has never lived on a Family Island. The crime is in Nassau Sir. Most of the Family Islands are fairly tranquil. Let's keep it that way. Stay the hell in Nassau. Most Family Islands have too many police from my observations.
Any business that focuses on cutting costs and staff, at the expense of good service for their customers and their country, deserves what is coming to BTC. Anyone paying attention could see this coming. And, the politicians who allowed and profited from this situation by selling BTC to Cable & Wireless should be held to account. Until the Bahamian people begin to hold our political leadership to ethical standards we can be assured that nothing will change. This present PLP administration seems like the worst, bold and willing to screw the Bahamian people while we look on, and thumb their noses at us. Now, one individual will control how, when and who gets their internet service. And then charge us what they want. Those who sold BTC to Cable & Wireless should be criminally charged.
So, I wonder why nobody has asked why the US is so concerned with what Cuba and The Bahamas do, when it is a fact that the #1 reason for bankruptcy in the US is crippling medical costs. And, how many Americans die each year from inadequate and unaffordable health care? Why are we unable to see the hypocrisy here? And, I wonder what country has helped keep Cuba in the condition it is in by sanctioning anyone who does business there? Not too long ago, sane and educated people agreed that collective punishment is wrong. We all did. What has so happened to our minds that all we can say is "Communism Bad" when the most prosperous nation to the north of us has all of these social ills, suicides, school shootings.....? Why is the US still punishing Cubans when the vast majority of them were not even alive when Castro led the revolution. Some commenters here are simply brainwashed.
Davis welcomes this news, as now he has an excuse for why our fiscal state will be in worse shambles than it is now, due specifically to corruption, waste, fraud, and continued wanton and excessive borrowing.
Yes, you are correct. The only surprising thing to me is how seemingly educated people don't see this, refuse to see tRump as the true person he is. He is not to be trusted, by anyone. He has screwed far too many who have worked for him and with him. Does character just not count for anything anymore? Is that why some would still vote PLP or Republican. We seem to have lost our morals.
