“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.

There is no way that the gambling houses produce more jobs than they cost our society. Money that would otherwise would be flowing through legitimate businesses that actually produce something of value for our country, has leaked out of the real economy and into the pockets of those who simply do not need anymore. Especially in this time of crisis. Quit pretending that you are most concerned for your workers. that we are all in this together. Everyone with their eyes open understands that the owners of the web shops are never satisfied with enough. What is the definition of a vampire squid?

Little wonder that we cannot move forward in this country. We continue, day after day, year after year, to continue to argue over the same stupid shite and still not come to any resolution. As if, the problems compounding on a daily basis are just not there.
Do our kids have a chance here? Just asking.

In the same way John Rolle has limited money flowing out of the country, which is not a health issue, so too should we look at our more domestic outflows. The jobs provided by the web shops have always been at the expense of creating real jobs actually producing something that brings real value to The Bahamas. It is time for a reset and time to tell the web shop owners to take a hike. They do not care about The Bahamas and Bahamians. They care about their own pocketbook. Nothing more.

Does The Bahamas attract persons with vision?
Or do they flee to somewhere else?
The numbers and reality speak volumes.
