Mr. brave davis, to The Tribune, "He accused Mr Pintard of misrepresenting his administration’s support for the creative economy and Bahamian artists. “I am using the word ‘lie’ intentionally because anyone who don’t tell the truth is a liar,” he declared.
My God. These jokey leaders have no shame, no morals.
Can it really, truly get any worse?

Porcupine says...

Would that convince you that trump is clueless and lawless. Probably not, hey?

Porcupine says...

Very good. Let's attack the truth teller and forget that we are being led by a gang of thieves.
One other comment.
Birdie, you are probably one of the most clueless people I have ever been witness to.
I have tried to find, over the years, some indication that you have a brain. I have failed.

Trump is a pathological liar by any definition.
Any educated, decent person who reads is well aware that Trump is a clear and present danger to all humanity.
People who cannot see this, are frankly rather ignorant fools, showing no understanding of decency, humanity, and least of all, Christianity.
Perhaps we have just gotten used to really stupid and deceitful leaders.
Perhaps some have not read nor understand what the US Constitution demands. And, perhaps, some people have consumed so much misinformation that we are unable to even understand a Jeffrey Sachs or any of the other sensible scholar who cites facts, instead of lies.
Bahamason, the lies that trump spouts out of his adolescent mouth doen't bother you?
The idea that nothing he says can be believed, doesn't bother you?
That 95% of the world's people oppose trumps policies doesn't bother you?
Honestly! Have we become that stupid? Well, I guess Bahamian politics answers that question, as well.
Obviously, you do not understand why trump is called TACO.
trump does not do what he says and like a petulant little boy, talks just like many adult men i know. Like spoiled little ignorant brats who have no education, do not read, but have really smart insights into everything.
You really think there is a difference between PLP and FNM? Seriously?.

Porcupine says...

Thanks Mr. Young.
Simply stated, the president of the United States cannot be trusted.
He is rude, brash, eternally ignorant and does not have an honest bone in his body.
The US voters, as well as, Bahamian voters, seem utterly incapable of judging character.
Is it the love of money, or just plain stupidity.
Perhaps both.

Porcupine says...

Yes. But, what do expect them to say?
Are you waiting for a reason for why we have to bring in foreigner doctors and nurses to staff our hospital?
Of course not, it's hot outside.

Porcupine says...

Beyond disgusting.
We are doing the same thing as the US.
Instead of putting our criminals in jail, we elect them to office.
I cannot imagine a more stomach churning administration then we have now.
They treat The People as if they are uneducated idiots.
Yet, who keeps voting these people in?
Hmmmmmmm.

It doesn't bother me that we are subsidizing water.
All I ask is that we provide reliable and safe potable water to our people, running the operation in a business-like and efficient manner.
We do Not run W&S like a business.
Does the ongoing trial, the intermittent and poor supply, the Rubis spill, and the not make clear that there are very few adults in the W&S room?
Now that these politicians just got $50 million freed up from the 100 million dollar loan from IDB, they are going to get these contracts done, spending that money, and of course, never expecting a kickback.

An astounding piece you wrote, D'Krizia.
It is a fabulously Informative, passionate and solution-based critique of a failed system.
You are quite right.
This article alone should prompt immediate action on the government's part.
While certainly a depressing situation, the creative way in which you have so professionally and effectively presented your case, should provide some measure of hope.
Well done!

Mr. Moxey, many, many businesses thrive while paying 20% commissions.
Like anything else, you build it into your price.
Some people like to focus on running the business they do best, and leaving the marketing to marketing experts.
Compare the prices we pay here for everything, including VAT and shipping and VAT on VAT, and on and on, compared to what is being charged in Florida.
What, pray tell, can explain these differences?
And, you must know that the biggest complaint lodged by visitors to The Bahamas are the high prices.
Having been in business myself, and speaking with many, many business owners here, it seems as though our government is happy hindering those who wish to go into business, instead of pulling out all the stops to help our own citizens.
This is a universal feeling. Yes?
Until we completely revolutionize the attitude of our government towards small businesses, we will continue to see our economy shrink, rather than grow.
There seems to be a lack of educated leadership in our country that would allow us to develop a true vision and follow through.
So long as we have a group of men who take as much as they can for themselves for 5 years, leaving little for The People, you can train as many bonefishing guides as you wish and nothing will change.
