The banking business is a scam. From top to bottom. Our banks, all banks have but one thing as their goal. More money for them, and less for everyone else. How is their sordid history not front and centre in every discussion? Bankers work with each other to protect and enrich themselves. Banking should be a public service. No profit should be in banking. Nobody should ever become rich by being a banker. Obviously, we should throw away our bibles if we're not going to read them. Jesus over-turned tables in the temple. Whose were they? Our worship of money knows no bounds.
You are correct regarding the madness. Unfortunately, I believe we have already entered a failed-state status with little hope for the next few generations. This wasn't madness, it was self induced ignorance. From the highest office and professions to the newspaper seller on the street, we have managed to become unable to think ourselves out of a wet paper bag. Don't worry MB, few listen to me either.
A few questions. When the airport is busy, why isn't each immigration booth filled by an employee? Why isn't there a US official in charge, front and center apologizing for the excessive wait time and promising to do better? Do they care at all? They do get paid for doing a job, correct? Why do we accept such poor, poor service? In a fair and competitive business world these people would be out on their asses, collecting unemployment. Starting at the top.
Unfortunately, these politicians are more stupid than we thought them to be. Simple logic and critical thinking are beyond the intellectual capacity and training of someone like Mr. Munroe. He is clueless and should be nowhere near public policy matters.
Why do we persist in electing and appointing idiots to positions of power in this country. A man like Munroe should have no voice among decent, educated people. Period. Thank you Ms. Wallace for speaking up. What the hell is happening in this backwards country we call The Bahamas? My God!
Tribune, you have one choice after revealing this travesty. Call for the firing of the BPL CEO and any others who failed to inform the public. Bring criminal charges against them. The reason this shit goes on and on, and continues despite this newspapers revelations, is because there are almost no consequences for bad behaviour in this country. Punishment should also have a deterrent component. We have virtually none here. Shouldn't the Tribune editors see what is happening over time and call for change? Or, demand change? Or, is the Tribune satisfied being a bystander in an unraveling nation?.
