That was good, John.

Isn't it funny how "we threw caution to the wind" for the web shops.
The banking system, to any who have studies it's roots to today's operations is evil to the core. There is little doubt that banking alone has helped create the overwhelming majority of today's problems. What, pray tell, do bankers produce? Nothing! Modern banking is a Ponzi scheme. The world's wealth is being concentrated into fewer and fewer hands due specifically to the banks and their financing schemes perpetrated on the world. A close study of banks and a good understanding of mathematics leaves any reasonable person agreeing that banks have enslaved humanity. While their are decent people and geniuses in every profession, that cannot be an endorsement of a particular industry. Banking should never be in private hands. History has proven the usefulness of the adage, "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely." There are few places this is more evident than in banking. Greed and political power have allowed banks to fund the Nazi regime, support genocide, ecocide and countless crimes against humanity. This is before considering the effects banks have had in fueling the greatest disparity of wealth humankind has ever witnessed. Of course our economy would suffer because we are trying to better ourselves by exploring alternatives which the industrialized countries have embarked on capturing the greatest market share. To our ultimate detriment. Our politicians and bankers are puppets of the US banking system. We are not an independent nation. We along with the rest of humanity are enslaved by the global banking system. This is not conspiracy theory. This is a well documented fact.

You could not see the alternative if it was shown to you. Your mind is made up.

Kevin, many Christians seem to have a god complex. Especially evangelicals who keep voting for these authoritarian leaders who they criticise. Organized religion holds us back as a species. The lockdowns failed to work because we have a population that refuses to read. Instead, they listen to these lost souls who proclaim to preach the word of god. Nonsense. Pastors are among the worst hypocrites there are. As a group, the devoutly religious are truly clueless. Evans, do you honestly see no correlation between the present state of The Bahamas and the intellectual level of the evangelical Christians. Were this childish belief in a supreme man god to disappear, humanity may have a fighting chance. A prominent pastor said we could pray this virus away. Is this why we ignore the health experts, then claiming lockdowns don't work?

Until the Ministry of Health tells the clinics and the people of the Family Islands who the Covid positive people are, and where they are at, we will not see any improvement. Knowledge is key. The Ministry of Health is part of the problem.

I believe that organized religion holds us back as a species. This is as evident here, as it is anywhere in the world.

Yes. Simply pay your bills until you can negotiate a new contract. Bannister is out of his league. Probably legally, as well as, logically. There is a history of ignorant and petty so-called leadership in this country. Bannister seems to exemplify the rot of both parties. Both have had their chance to better the lives of Bahamians. Both have chosen to enrich themselves instead.

You are right.

Exactly right!

You said it right. "they all have a vested interest in the status quo."
