This issue will be like all other serious issues we deal with here in The Bahamas.
Nothing will be done.
Most politicians are clueless about anything. They are quite literally stupid.
The fact that they are :in charge" is the problem.
Argue all we want. What changes with each election?
Do things get better, or worser?
The capable people are fleeing this country in droves.
What capable person would want to work with anyone in this current administration?
We are, like our neighbor to the north, in uncharted territory, where there is no sanity, decency, or justice.
The Bahamas is run by those with the money.
Doesn't matter where it came from. Bootlegging, drug running, human trafficking, web shop money, defending drug dealers and murderers, crooked government contracts, and the list goes on.
Decent people are, and should be, repulsed by our government.
Nearly all running for office are chumps.
We voted these clowns into office.
We are a pirate nation and it seems, we will stay that way

Porcupine says...

Run it like a business.
If the business can make enough money to stay in business, it continues.
If not, it goes out of business.
So, they are asking other businesses to take a hit so that they can continue a failing business model?
Something doesn't add up. This is not business,.This is something else.

No Tal. $600,000 - Yes?

Porcupine says...

Anyone surprised that the PLP doesn't want anyone looking closely at how their government is run?
Let's be real folks.
Transparency and sunshine works against vampires.
It is dangerous for The People to know anything.

"The Berry Islands MP said Mr O'Hayer plans to help train local Bahamians in how to operate the fire-fighting equipment he is acquiring. "He's not just talking but putting his money into action," Mr Lightbourne told Tribune Business. "He's making things happen."

The larger looming question should be, why after 52 years of independence. cannot the Bahamian people and our outstanding politicians "make something happen"?
The constituencies these politicians represent have been promised the very basics for decades now, but have never, ever been delivered.
Not decent water delivery, reliable electricity, not stable and affordable internet and phone service, banking, right on down the line. This country is punishing as a direct result of poor and useless so-called "leadership".
And yet, here they are talking about reelection and how much they've done for our communities.
Taking bullshite to a new and improved level.

Are we fools? Again. Are we fools?
It is safe to say that if we believe ONE word that comes from a politician, we are fools.

The fact that the minimum wage is below what it takes to survive, is a testament to those who say they work for The People.
And, we wonder why we have to import teachers, nurses, doctors...............?
We have all of our national priorities backwards.

On TUC president calls for minimum wage to $350

Indeed.

Porcupine says...

True that.
He may even know who a compromised government official is.

Porcupine says...

Not so quick, son.
Please spend a bit more time on what is going on, which is not a move towards a freer world.
This is all part of a plan to remove our rights and freedoms.

"Mr Davis said obtaining timely and fair compensation from the Government is another top priority for the commoners, telling this newspaper: “I think that’s one of the major concerns. The schedule of compensation, that’s one of the biggest issues for the commoners - at least from what I’ve heard."
Is this a joke?
The Prime Minister says fair and timely compensation is another top priority........
He is the Prime Minister.
The same one who says he personally involves himself in immigration issues.
But, he can't make sure the government that he heads can't pay for the property they've already taken?
Is this guy thinking at all?
Or, is he counting on continued stupidity of this country?
Fix the situation, or get out of office.
Simple. What any business owner would say.
Obviously, this group of so-called leaders has no concern for The People.
None.
