Mr. Todd doesn't seem to grasp the idea that his ability to speak from this position comes on the backs of those willing to shun a non-productive government job, like his, and who actually pays his salary.
It requires the initiative, the planning, the capital, the follow through to produce the funds that run a government and pay Mr. Todd's salary.
It takes an immense amount of economic ignorance not to see that the country's ability to function comes from those who produce, not politicians who merely speak, do little, and than hire government people because of family and friend ties.
The rapid descent of this country, can be completely tied to hiring practices that elevate the politically connected, while shunning those with the brains, education and professional experience required to do a specific job.
There is almost no Bahamian government position in this country that isn't populated by people who are utterly and certifiably, unqualified to perform their basic job duties.
Since independence, it has been a rapid race to the bottom.

The solution to this, and many other problems here, is quite simple.
Pass a law that states that ANYONE who has even been in politics in The Bahamas, can never participate in politics again.
Right from the start, it is impossible that things would not improve.
The chances of getting a more dishonest, incompetent, immoral, lying, self-serving, greedy, arrogant, uneducated, uncouth, and downright criminally oriented group of people to lead this country is extremely low.
Hell, even if we randomly place recent high school graduates, with no experience of any kind, into key positions, including as Prime Minister, we could do no worse than the sordid group of people we now have at the helm of this once great nation.
Who sold the only cash cow we had in this country?
To a company a relative was involved with.
And, have we seen a real benefit to the sale of BTC?
Nope. Worser service, lesser staff, a few million in profit for the deal makers.
Yes, or no?
But, we're still listening to these people.

“This is particularly significant given the observation that, by and large, 70 percent of the land is controlled by the Government,” she said. “That leaves only 15 percent of the land, which is in private hands, not in dispute. Expressed differently, an IDB study in the early 2000s found half the land in private hands was in dispute.”
Half the land in private hands is in dispute, hey?
And, we wonder why some may call us backwards.
Who profits from this?
Lawyers alone.
At some point, it should be recognized that we need some independent outsiders to come in and administer our government. It is beyond clear that we are incapable of doing so,
Far too many older people here have outright stated that they will no longer vote for either the FNM or PLP because of what they have seen in their lifetimes.
Far too many older people have said to me that this is the worst they have ever seen it.
Take this present PLP administration, seemingly devoid of the competency, and the honesty to run anything.
Anyone who would vote for the present political apparatus is part of the problem.
Seems like far too many Bahamians are compromised and dependent upon politicians for their livelihood. The PLP and FNM are two sides of the political failure we see today.
A true recipe for ultimate disaster.
The present political status quo has unquestionably failed the Bahamian people.
The good will flee and the compromised will continue to vote for buffoons.

This is not a Berry Islands problem.
This is a national problem.
Clearly, we need to import some people who can actually function as managers.
Instead, we get a bunch of bumbling fools called PLPs.
Enough already of watching this country go backwards, and then to pretend that the PM and his lackeys are professional, moral and smart.
Losers all.

We are all talk.
Nothing more.
There is nothing in our country that gets done in a timely, professional, and acceptable manner.
Nothing.
Words mean absolutely nothing in The Bahamas.
Look at our politicians.
Can one of them be believed about anything?

The problem is that nobody in Bahamian government can be trusted.
This starts with the PM himself.
Does anyone really believe the US doesn't know our politicians cannot be trusted?
The PM wants transparency from the US, yet can't seem ti be forthright and honest about anything he does here?
That is the sad reality. None of these jokers can speak the truth. They just can't do it.

The "brain drain" is essential to the political structure that exists here.
There is no way an educated and sensible person would vote for any of these clowns in office, nor would they put up with the stupid stuff coming out of Darville's, Davis', or any of these joker's mouths.
Why would reasonable people accept that those public servants, politicians we call them, can get rich in 5 years while are best and brightest of our people leave these shores because they are not paid or respected as they should be? Maybe why davis' daughter is abroad, hey?.
These fools we call ministers could never get away with this crap if we had an educated and sensible populace. Most of them would be in jail. Instead, here in The Bahamas we promote them and reelect them.
There is a health care crisis in The Bahamas. Unfortunately, it has been created and maintained by those we elect to represent the interests of the Bahamian people.
As many of the older people are saying, This is the worst they have ever seen.
And, if the PLP is voted back in, it will get even worser.

We are a nation of men, not a nation of laws.
Further, most of us couldn't care less about anything other than ourselves.
This is the best we can do.
Get used to it, and it getting worse all the time.
The present PLP administration clearly represents this attitude.
They are stealing this country blind. And, nobody seems to care.
Everyone over 60 I know says this is the worst it has ever been.
Funny that they'll probably be voted back in.
As we remain ignorant and alliterate.

Everything here is politics.
Not one in government, it seems, has an iota of concern for the Bahamian people.
How do politicians become rich in office?
There is not one educated person I talk to that doesn't say, "This is the worst it's ever been".
Why aren't our educated and decent children returning home?
Is it lack of jobs?
Or, the idea that brains have no standing in this country.
The bottom line for moving up the political ladder seems to be, How Low Can You Go?
It doesn't matter what is going on in the rest of the world. Our job is right here in front of us.
The present PLP administration is destroying any hope for a Bahamian future.
Smart parents are telling their kids to leave these shores, and not come home.
Any real educated arguments countering this point of view?
No real leaders in this country. Only chubby, selfish, ugly politicians.

Imagine if we had real leaders in this country.
Instead, we have a bunch of immature children who spend their time fighting amongst themselves.
The entire country suffers from a lack of intelligent, mature, honest leadership. Period.
Not a one of them a real leader. So sad.
