This isn't newsworthy.
Everyone knows that Miller has little intelligence, less class and a poor upbringing.
What should be noteworthy is how did we go so low as a country that we continue to elect cretins such as this to political office.
However, he does fit right in to the PLP political buffoonery.

What percent of the Bahamian population has anything left over at the end of the month?
What percent are middle class?
What percent are in poverty?
How much money leaves these shores each year to solely service our debt?
Simple questions my Christian investors.

We live in a world where character no longer matters.
So long as we invest wisely..................................
No reward for arguing with fools.

Porcupine says...

No, not an attack on the messenger.
None of my concerns were addressed.
Were they?
Yes, if you know people have started broke and ended up rich is a statistical accident, if you are serious about numbers.
Quit defending a sordid, dog eat dog system.
The trend is a growing disparity between rich and poor. Here in The Bahamas and globally.
Is this fair? Is this Christian?
EVERY social indicator for a "good life" fails under rising inequality.
This IS the trend, and has been for quite some time.
Not because those at the top are working smarter, but because the system is rigged.
Every educated, honest person can understand this.
I follow the words of Martin Luther King Jr. when he said we need "a radical revolution of values".
We live in a country that cannot provide decent services of any kind to benefit Bahamians.
This country is crumbling under the weight of indebtedness.
This is simple math.
We do not take care of our own. Period.
But, in sure many of the richest Bahamians, no matter how they got their money, hustle into church every Saturday and Sunday, so that we can see that they are good Christians.

Porcupine says...

So, Bahamians must "create real wealth" even though only a handful of Bahamians are not living paycheck to paycheck. Interesting.
But, little to say about the waste fraud, and utter abuse of our national treasure by do-nothing obese politicians who are robbing this country blind?
Nothing to say about the ability of an average Bahamian to make a comfortable living by actually producing something of value at a reasonable wage?
Has BOB paid back ALL its losses? Yet, now it is profitable? Please!
Was BOB treated any differently than any other business in The Bahamas?
Answer: Yes. Usually when a Bahamian business goes bankrupt, they don't get bailed out.
What percentage of the Bahamian population owns stock?
What percentage of the Bahamian population owns stock?
So, the only way to "wealth" is by investing? Not, by working hard?
Have BOB line employees seen an increase in their salaries, commensurate with this new found BOB prosperity? Yes, or no?
Why cannot BOB pay their employees a really good wage, thus encouraging them to invest and to save?
What is the average salary of a BOB teller?
Have all the politicians who took out loans from BOB paid them back in their entirety?
How does a person who remains so aloof from average Bahamians get to have a say in the political process? Money, and money alone! For himself.
If we wanted more money circulating and stimulating the Bahamian economy, shouldn't those who spend the greatest portion of their money into the Bahamian economy be a priority?
Any first year economics student knows that the multiplier effect of giving a rich person a dollar is much lower than giving it to a poor person.
Meaning that while we have to import teachers, nurses and doctors, because we pay our own so frigging little that they flee this country, is OK.
But our first priority should be to encourage the rich to invest wisely? is this a sound national economic strategy?
If money is the only criteria to speak on important economic matters, perhaps we could
find a few others, some maybe in jail, for making lots of money. This is where we are as a country. We listen to people with money no matter if they are a decent person, or a web shop owner, or not.
How do you get the name Snake as a national moniker?

Porcupine says...

Why is the government slow to pay so often?
Perhaps those at the top need to be held accountable.
How can a government who is slow to pay for what they've already received in goods and services.be taken seriously?
They can't.

I agree, but I think the real consequences of this under-investment in education has already taken a very dangerous toll.
It goes well beyond productivity.
First off, we have to care.
I fail to see any real national concern.
If there was a real concern for education, we would see more educated adults.
There is no age limit to learning.
We have little to no spark among our people.
The business side of this "poor educational outcomes" is only one, and among the least overall in importance.
The social consequences of a poor education are in plain sight, yet we fail to make the connections.

Only interested in history since Oct 7, hey?

They do. They are floating down a river of shite, and are grasping at straws to save themselves.
