Yes, politicians and their loyalists have a way of framing the narrative to suit their own narrow interests.
And yes, certain tropes do morph over time.

“Bahamians want to know that their communities are safe, that their jobs are secure, and that the rules apply to everyone — no matter their background, nationality, or connections,” Mr Davis said. “We are not anti-immigrant. ***We are anti-lawlessness.*** We are not against workers who follow the law. But we will not tolerate systems that disadvantage Bahamians in their own country.”
Sometimes, you just have to laugh.

Porcupine says...

Yes, the more of The Bahamas we sell off to corporations and the rich, it doesn't matter which party sold out our land, water and heritage.
Jobs, jobs, low paying jobs.\
We need to learn about basic economics. The money that the cruise ships bring in, goes right out of this country.
It is all about ownership folks.
We haven't encouraged it, therefore we don't have it.

Wake up. You're talking in your sleep again.

"The Office of the Prime Minister called it a “historic shift”, and pledged to use the ruling to press for deeper emissions cuts and secure compensation for climate-related loss and damage."
As if, we here in The Bahamas have led our lives, made political decisions and consumed responsibly in harmony with Mother Earth.
Yes, sea levels are rising and the climate is changing.
We need to adapt.
We don't seem to care.
I cannot fathom that our government, at the very top, gives a hoot about the environment or climate change.
They see it as a financial opportunity. Nothing more.
We place so little resources and emphasis on education, and wonder why things are as they are now.
As usual, we fail to plan ahead, and then at zero hour cry for help.
What happened to Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance?
And now, we want the rest of the world to hand us money? For what?
Is this the same ICJ that has ruled that Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be arrested? Will the Bahamian government abide by this ruling, as well?
How about an official Bahamian comment on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank?

Porcupine says...

Whether here, or Gaza, or Sudan, or the US, we just seem not to care anymore about our brothers and sisters..
It really seems we have lost our humanity.
I can come to no other conclusion.
