Mr. Halkitis says “I’ll leave with this. We’re in a democracy, so anybody’s free to say what they want, but particularly when it comes to the financial well-being of the country, of course, ask, of course demand accountability, but particularly aimed at the politicians out there who seek to score points. Let’s be a little more measured in our statement.” So, Halkitis is claiming all is well. And, the numbers on poverty and social assistance requirements? What percentage of the Bahamian population lives paycheck to paycheck? These guys don't care. It is all a game to them. They do not give a damn about the Bahamian people.
In advanced thinking countries the risk of blowing up buildings and killing people are minimized by education and adherence to safety guidelines. Once people can read, and care about safety, that risk can be reduced to near zero incidents. So, all we need is to care and to be literate. Our challenge since independence.
Mr. Wilson's numbers are being used to take out another credit card loan by this country. Already a debt to GDP ratio of 88.7% and he is applying for another 160 million dollar loan? How many hundreds of millions of dollars in loans has this administration taken out this year? We will end up being forced to make austerity a way of life for the next few generations. Sadly, these guys like Mr. Wilson don't seem to care that they are the helm of a country on a crash course. Be assured, these captains will be the first ones off the ship as it hits the rocks. Wilson, Halkitis, Davis, they all know what time it is. They have their ditch bags and foreign bank accounts at the ready. They know full well they are destroying this country. They just don't care.
You mean a change from the way we hire now, based on politics instead of competency and meritocracy? No matter the talent, foreign or domestic, so long as ignorant politicians are involved in the hiring process, we will continue to spit out the failures, as we do year after year. Once we focus on nationality to count as qualifying for legitimacy in hiring, we have and will continue to sink lower. The last thing any of these politicians want around this country are people capable of seeing how badly the Bahamian people are getting screwed. Academia has always bowed to the pressure from unenlightened political hacks, willingly or not.
You are 100% correct . However, this is going according to plan. Many at the very top of the economic ladder believe democracy is incompatible with their desires. The tech-bro billionaires are well aware of, and are welcoming this cognitive diminishment, as it fully supports their self proclaimed right to rule the world. There are many who now believe that a saviour is what we need. Someone like a trump, or a davis. They are getting their way. This is truly global enslavement of the world's population. This is not conspiracy, it is fact.
