You are absolutely brilliant birdie.
Are you hiding a political agenda? Are you really smart, and just playing dumb?
Seems like you are supporting a Party, not the nation of The Bahamas.
"the outrage makes no sense." Say what, birdie?
Obviously, you didn't read, not comprehend, the news article.
And, very clearly you have never run a business.
How about education, birdie?
Do you not realize where the vast majority of money that runs this country, providing for every convenience you have birdie, comes from the US.
Hey, I don't like their policies either now, but only an idiot would not listen to their #1 customer. Seems rather stupid, doesn't it birdie?
It is rather sad to see your your ignorant ramblings, clearly dragging this nation down.
Personally, I think you are a PLP operative, since I truly don't believe there are people who are still as ignorant as you.

The biggest question I have is: How and why did it have to get to this point?
After speaking with a number of pilots, it seems that the designers of this test were clueless.
Our government was placing another odious burden on those working for a living. See, the pilots jobs actually contribute to the Bahamian coffers. Government jobs mostly suck money out of our economy. We do understand this simple concept, yes?
I must ask all Bahamians, "Are we here to help each other succeed, or are we here only to throw up road blocks for those who actually get up off their butts to do something?"
More and more, it seems to me that those in government jobs, including those in Parliament, are there to hold this country back,
The attitudes, the lack of friendly customer service, lack of transparency, lack of proper communication, and the lack of professionalism in far too many of our government offices, suggest to me that there is a schism in our society.
There are those who wish to make The Bahamas a better place, and on the other side, are those in government jobs throwing up roadblock after roadblock to hold the qualified people back.

Always next year!
Next election.
Next month........................
Bahamians are tired of the nonsense coming from these guys mouths.
Many of us cannot afford these bills.
Is it inefficiency? Corruption. Mismanagement? Deceit?
Who can we believe? Seems like nobody.
There are always the promises never kept.
Always someone to cheer for the PLP losers, who put a party before their country.

The number 1 industry in The Bahamas is tourism. Here we are 50+ years into independence, and we cannot produce leaders who look out for this country? We have continued to fall down on the job of doing even the minimal to assure that we have repeat business and take care of those guests who essentially pay EVERY politicians salary and keep The Bahamas from falling into national abject poverty. That our guests cannot count on reliable electricity, water, phone and internet service, fire suppression, medical facilities, nor a reliable and educated police department, is a slap in the face to the majority of Bahamians who rely on tourism for their livelihood. This entire administration is completely lost and dragging this country down. The drama revolving around the private airplane fees. the recent increase in all boating fees, for Bahamians and foreigners alike, show a complete disregard for this well being of this country. This administration should hang its head in shame for these transgressions. It is unbelievable that we have elected a group of people who can only stuff their pockets and their bellies for 5 years while completely ignoring the needs of the Bahamian people. At the end of the day however, it is the Bahamian people who have put these poor excuses for "leaders" into office. The bottom line is the fact that most of us just don't seem to care. We take the few dollars they hand us and then run our mouths for 5 years, as if, we are not the problem.

This isn't a "row", Ms. Nixon, of the Tribune.
This is a very stupid governmental move that was clearly made by people with no business experience or concern for our economy.
Nobody is arguing that we need to raise some fees.
The issue is the manner it was done.
No educated business person, who relied on that business to make a living, would ever pull a stunt like this. Period.
A prudent business person cares about their clientele's concerns.
We produce almost nothing in The Bahamas.
We rely nearly completely on tourism and the American market.
Our politicians produce nothing. All of them rely on the money coming into this country from outside, mostly tourism, and the efforts of working Bahamians.
We produce nearly nothing.
The politicians suck at the teat of this society. The politicians, especially this particular administration have shown clearly that they have neither the education, the concern, nor the moral stature to lead anyone.
Clearly, more clearly than ever, this country is going backwards, and all we hear are words.
No action to improve the infrastructure vital to our tourism industry and the living conditions of Bahamians.
What island is not experiencing these critical infrastructure challenges?
The Tribune, day after day, highlights the valid and vocal complaints by our legitimate business people.
Yet, here we are, 50+ years after Independence, and nearly every island in this country is punishing?
What bold MP has the audacity to ask to be reelected? For what? So they can fly around the world, and get rich here at home by fleecing The People?
Day in and day out we hear of these big contracts being awarded. Why is isn't every one scrutinized by The People?
We know why.
They just act like we're stupid. The most dangerous people in The Bahamas are not foreigners.
They are sitting in Parliament.

Ha ha Ha. Funny bird brain.

elevate?
Percentages are percentages. We use them to make comparisons.
English and math are essential, yes?

Jesus Christ birdie. Are you really that fricking stupid?

He has the goods on far, far too many prominent rich people.
End of story.
