Sandilands is the best place for you birdie.

Sadly, exactly true.

Mr Turnquest,

Donald Trump cares about Nothing except himself.
If someone does not understand this they need to go back to school, or choose different parents.
Trump has no moral compass and is a malignant narcissist.
There is no human quality that Trump possesses that is beneficial to mankind. Not one.
There is not a truly educated person alive who believes that Trump is a smart, caring and moral man.
"Mark A. Turnquest, a corporate consultant and founder of the 242 Small Small Business Association and Resource Centre, previously told Tribune Business that The Bahamas could be plunged back into a renewed cost of living crisis if the US president-elect follows through on his pledge because this nation imports such a high quantity of Chinese manufactured products."
Excuse me Mr. Turnquest, but are you suggesting that The Bahamas is not presently in a cost of living crisis? Are you serious?
Yes, we are in for serious times here in 242.
Trouble is, we ourselves continue to vote for people to represent us that do not differ from Trump that much.

Ms. Wallace says,“It is consistently shown to us as women that marriage is actually a terrible idea in this country, because all it does for us is strip us out of access to our rights, in particular, our sexual and reproductive rights and the right to pass on nationality to our children,” she said. “This administration, like every administration before, it is spineless and incompetent and does not deserve anyone’s votes.”
My God the truth hurts, doesn't it?
This administration, like all others before it, has not the education, the brains, nor the decency to EVER to do the right thing unless it benefits them.
The truth, always hurts those who are dishonest.
We remain 10 steps behind anyone standing for decency in this world.

Where would one go to find honesty and justice?
Who will protect us from the police?

Of course the ignorance of economic matters at all levels of our government could not be the reason for the decline of living standards in this country.
That a group of no-nothing selfish bureaucrats who have little education and cannot be trusted, coupled with a national D- scholastic average has nothing to do with our continual down sliding as a nation.
birdie doesn't seem to hear the Cry me a River from the overwhelming majority of Bahamian people.

“I don’t swear for anyone, not even my children, because if you’re not with someone 24 hours a day, you do not know what they may be doing,” he said. “What I can say is the fruits of what he was doing was plain.”
Wow! And the person who said this managed to get past an interview for a job?
And this man is in a position of power?
And, we wonder why this country is sinking fast?
This is why they want to keep the Bahamian population at a D- educational level.

Minnis, you missed it by about a factor of 10.
You failed to include the very real lost opportunity costs that come from those who would be willing to invest in The Bahamas, but for the rampant dishonesty, corruption and theft that occur with every transaction here. Even the supposedly legitimate contracts and services provided by our own people are highly inefficient and politically motivated. No forward progress can be made when politics taints every aspect of a society, such as ours.
Politics has eroded our ethics and has promoted very poor performance.
To the point where most Bahamians could never hold a job anywhere reliability, competency, and honesty are required. We have allowed this completely unChristian behaviour to fester for too many generations now. We know for a fact that not one word from a politician's mouth can be believed. All we care about is what little we can get for ourselves.
We have turned into a very, very selfish nation with little prospect for the future, having invested little in education and the social conditions needed to keep decent people here. Those who manage to get educated and seek better for themselves would never stay in The Bahamas. We are backwards thinking with no vision and a short-term live-for-today mentality. We have far too many fatherless children who have no guidance especially because single mothers receive little to no help from our selfish politicians.
The writing is on the wall, for those few Bahamians who still manage to read.
Our politicians are worthless, greedy, corrupt, and self serving. That is why our nation is in the dire and disgusting state it is in.
If we fired and expelled every person who is, and has ever been in politics in this country, and replaced all of them with recent graduates from our high schools, despite them having no experience, we could do no worse than we are doing now with Davis and company and all the other politicians who supposedly are there for our benefit.
Dr. Minnis, what the true cost of corruption, dishonesty, incompetence and crime are costing The Bahamas cannot be measured in dollars. We have lost our country and the chances of seeing a place where our children can live are dwindling by the day.
Personally, I think it is too late. We have already lost far too many of our educated and decent people who have realized that The Bahamas has become what it is today; a place where there is a lot of talk, but we continue to go backwards as a nation.
We have no good leaders, Minnis. Is it really a wonder why?

We don't care.
We just don't care.
Do any government offices offer fast, friendly and efficient service?
Exactly my point!
We just don't care.
We have very limited choices, so we just take what is given us.
Makes no sense to complain.
Wonder why?
We don't care.
Trash all over the sides of the road?
We don't care.

Exactly!
