Clearly, you do not understand what socialism is.
Capitalism is what we have now.
The rich are getting much richer and the poor poorer.
Sound like a fair and Christian system to you?
Educate yourself before speaking nonsense.
Our dialog in The Bahamas is at the second grade level.

Sit small Mr. Minnis.
This is not a political issue, unless you own up to your own massive failures.
This is a generational issue that does not bode well for The Bahamas.
We have managed to raise a generation of kids who lack respect, lack education, lack good parenting, lack a supportive society, and are up against an ignorant set of politicians. Most all of our politicians are ignorant.
We have failed at the most basic level as a society.
Now would be the time to be humble and accept the results of our careless attitudes towards raising families and the backwards pastors who can't read and write, let alone act Christian.
Present day Bahamas is a disgrace at most every level.
If prayer works, why are we in such bad straights here?
Seriously, did Bahamians simply forget to pray for decency, morality, and honesty?
My God, what kind of person, like Minnis, would have the audacity to criticize present politicians for problems that began so long ago?
Mr. Minnis is as much a part of the problem as gang members are.
They are all clueless, it seems..

Sorry. We've had plenty of time to get things right.
We lack many resources, and our fondness for excuses doesn't help matters at all.

So long as The Bahamas gets most of its "news" from the US, we will continue down this path.
Were we to have placed emphasis on education, learning and critical thinking, we may have a buffer to this trend. But we do not. The uneducated and ignorant pastors only peddle more ignorance and superstition. Our politicians are among the most ignorant of politicians anywhere in the world. Why? Because we elect people and promote them based on nepotism and party loyalty, not competence. Fascism is also the result of too many people joining the cult. Trumpism in the US is a perfect example.
I have looked at this issue for many years. Television, mass marketing and increased materialism has allowed humanity to slide back into the trenches of ignorance and superstition.
This manifests itself in the hate and rejection of reason and science.
All the more dangerous as The Bahamas is in terminal danger for the accelerating rise of sea level.
We pretend this imminent and existential danger doesn't exist. Worse, I wonder if the greatest number of voting Bahamians can even read or bother to read about what is coming.
We cannot celebrate ignorance on a national level and think there will not be catastrophic consequences.
Fascism is but one of the perils.

What Mr. Bain should really be advocating for is for other nations to consider upping their quotas for Bahamian immigrants. While there is certainly justification for concern here about Haitian refugees, in a few short years The Bahamas will have a whole new set of problems combining to make our country increasingly "unlivable".
The danger of a good education is actually seeing the real threats to our country. It will not be foreign actors who upend this country. The daily papers make clear that we are our own worst enemies. National ignorance only makes this more certain.
My belief is that infinitely more Bahamians have abused the "system" of the US, in immigration, and social services, than Haitians could ever do here.
Some might call this karma.

People. Do not get alarmed by this.
$600,000 is nothing compared to what The Bahamas spends weekly on employees and MPs who do absolutely nothing, yet get a fat paycheck and a pension on top of that.
Were we to audit with a fine toothed comb, the Bank of Bahamas, Water & Sewerage, bpl, btc Ministry of Works, Ministry of Health, and on and on, we would realize that the Bahamian taxpayer has been supporting theft, fraud, corruption, and unsustainable inefficiency in every sector of our government.
Anyone who cannot see this, and does not agree with the above statement has no place in any management or leadership position, anywhere. Full stop.
We talk, and talk, and talk. Nothing more.

Of course politically victimized civil servants have recourse.
In the same way rape victims have recourse when they go to the police.
Ha!

You should be treated like any other person talking such ignorant garbage.
Solar and renewable could easily fill 100% of our energy needs. All we have to do is to apply ourselves. The science is in Mr./Mrs. Neanderthal. We are killing our planet. How about extinctions? Is this a "shrill apocalyptic warning" or a reality.
Do you read anything Columbusidiot?

You missed climate change, and a near guaranteed 1 foot sea level rise within 30 years, accelerating more after that.
But, there is some good news.
We have not completely decimated our seafood stocks, yet.
That's one.
But, we do have a disconnect with reality and an honesty problem.
Our politicians are a reflection of our society.
Need I say more?

People will be rushing here from all over the world to study what happened to our brains here.
That we are even considering allowing this company to step foot in The Bahamas is proof positive that we truly have no future.
As a country, we appear brain dead.
But, no correlation between education and religious belief, hey?
