Having spoken to a number of yacht owners and operators, Pintard is correct. Dexter Fernander must be living in a bubble. There is little that Inland Revenue does that makes sense for this country and the people who live here. What Pintard says about making more money on the back-end could also apply to much of the excessive regulation and taxation imposed by this supposed "People's" PLP government. The finance gurus in this administration are completely wrong at most every turn. No brains, just greed.
Further, Is it not well established that trump is a pathological liar, as well as being a narcissist. Are these qualifications for a national leader? His cabinet is made up of sycophant billionaires who care nothing about The People. How does a person miss this, and still support someone devoid of character? Well, I guess we do it here too, hey?
Thanks for taking the time to show what a failure this administration has been, Mr. Grant. All meaningless words, no action, and a spiral downwards. So much for forward, onward.......
Walker is an idiot. he doesn't know what day it is. Might be an ok guy to have a beer with. But, ambassador to The Bahamas. Be serious. And Jack, are you paying attention to the educated people standing up against the fool trump? Might seem like those who still support him are in some k of cult mentality. He is destroying the US. Don't get it Jack? Try education. It tends to help.
Yup. I see it. Follow the money. Many are becoming billionaires selling these weapons. But, if you do your research, you will see beyond the curtains. Whom can you not criticize? That's who owns you. The Tribune can only offer so much intellectual insight. Hours a day are necessary. Yes, or no?
Excellent commentary. Last name listed, should be "Joe" Spence. Why are these stories not taught in every school in The Bahamas? Nor their music? Why do we place so little emphasis on education here? These stories, along with the history of Red Bays, are essential lore at the core of Bahamian and Andros history. Soon, all will these memories will be lost. Do we care?
Not surprising. If we don't care about our vulnerable people, why would we care about our vulnerable natural resources? A lot of people are paid to do absolutely nothing in this country. A government job is a handout for those who have no work ethic. We simply don't care. Period.
Sadly, the so-called experts continue to place the blame on the individual affected, rather than seeing these problems as rising rates of symptoms of a truly unhealthy society. When these kids realize that there is little to no truth, morality, help, nor opportunity available to them in the short and long term, this turn towards substance abuse, depression and other self destructive behaviour becomes apparent. Bottom line is that it is not the kids who are manifesting the root of the problem. It is us who have allowed our society to be taken over by truly rotten politicians, pastors and police who hold sway in creating the horrible social conditions extant today, especially in The Bahamas. Do we also think that the out of control rates of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, breast cancer, and other NCD's are due entirely to lifestyle choices? These are all evidence of a very sick society. Very sick. Any society that places so little emphasis on educational outcomes, yielding an overwhelmingly uneducated and emotionally adolescent population that is capable of rallying around the present PLP government, a political party rife with corruption and deceit, will continue to see never ending and escalating failures on a national level. And, to be honest, these social ills will only become worse as the realities of our fiscal situation becomes more evident and evolves, and the kleptomaniac psychopaths continue to occupy the halls of government, our churches and our national security apparatus, as they presently do.
