We have long talked about the direct impacts of a very poor educational system. When the family, schools, churches and governments continue for decades to place little emphasis and less resources towards educating our people, it is about more than just losing the ability to get a job. Stupidity, irresponsibility, and lack of empathy all take their toll on a society. Is this not evidenced here?
I don't blame the police for this. I blame all of us for allowing idiocy to reign supreme in this country.
Here it is front and center.

I agree with the necessity to do this. The problem is that the police are able to grant exemptions to anyone who convinces them that they must travel between the Family Islands and Nassau. They do this regularly. Put all the lockdowns in place that you want Dr. Minnis. But when you allow the police to make exceptions based on their superior intelligence, don't you think we have a problem? We have not followed the prescribed precautions. We have only been lucky, not smart. Remove the ability of the police to grant any exceptions to your rules. They have not the authority nor the expertise to do what they are presently doing. I know for a fact that the police in Nassau have granted permission to people from Bimini and Nassau to come to Andros. In one case, they did not even inform the captain of the mail boat, allowing these people to stow away. Not cool. Any reasonable person would fire the police who allowed this. What is considered necessary travel seems to be based on money. Is this possible?

Mr. Albury says,
"As the world works to end this COVID-19 health crises, we are going to need new ideas, creative inventions and ingenuity to thrive in our communities, industries and countries at large. We need you—the youthful and energetic and bold new graduates to help us find ways to do things better. To better serve this planet by becoming champions of climate change, poverty, human rights, socio-economic inequalities and joblessness among the youth."

Thank you Mr. Albury.
Your words are right on the mark.
To better serve this planet also means to better serve all of us.

A country for sale. Always has been, always will be. A playground for the rich and famous, Bahamian or foreign.

“In the process, they had a challenge. Somebody did something they shouldn’t have done. That caused some kind of flash back in the system that took the whole system out..... It wasn’t a generation issue. It was an unfortunate incident, and I was more concerned about the safety of the people involved because someone could have been killed. Someone may have had a mental shock.”

Why does every time a Bahamian politician opens their mouth, it makes the entire Bahamian population look stupid? Just asking. Without knowing who made the above statement, would you think this person is over the age of 5?

Is it something in the water we should all be avoiding?

There is really only one solution to our poor leadership.
But, to say so is to be banned from commenting.
This is what a true democracy looks like, huh?
Why do we keep voting clowns into office?

It is called fraud in most of the world. But not here. I have 10 years of complaints to URCA. Nobody seems to care that BTC is defrauding Bahamians. It will only get worse..

Sad. Really sad. And, then we must spend our time either excoriating them, or defending them. Do we honestly wonder why nothing really gets done i this country? Year after year, generation after generation. The best we can do?

Guess our reps have failed to read the papers the last few months.
Should be time for a rethinking on how country moves forward.
Cruise ships signal the death of The Bahamas.
Some businessmen can only see what's good for their own pockets.
And then, we let them do our bidding.
A failure, no matter how you calculate it.

Absolutely correct Mr. Mabon.
