Welcome to the real world Bahamas.
Where gross inefficiency is a thing of the past, except for government employees.
Where real customer service is there for all to see.
Where price gouging will only remain in taxes and food prices.
When the day of reckoning is upon us and we realize we have been asleep at the wheel for far too many decades.
Perhaps we would have the vision to eliminate Customs Duty altogether and move toward an equitable and fair way of taxation that spreads the burden over all our people instead of just the poor and wor,king class.
Customs has been the perfect way to help keep this country corrupt and the corrupting influences of Customs officers, politicians and the rest of us.
To move ahead in this country with vision and fairness to bring about a true middle class means removing every entrenched politician that resides in this country.
The present PLP administration will go down in history as one of the most corrupt and incompetent administrations in the history of The Bahamas.
Time to clean house completely. Leave none standing to infect the newcomers.
Get rid of them all.

Porcupine says...

Agreed.
Tabloids are all we seem to have anymore.
Investigative and journalistic standards, a crying shame.

Porcupine says...

Trump is what the USA vomited up.
The Republicans and Democrats are both war parties.
They care nothing for the People.
Just like The Bahamas vomited up the PLP.
No difference.
We have entered the age of ignorance.
Here and there.
The pundits are at the top of the smoldering heap.
Like Ms. Phillips.

Absolute proof positive that the police and the politicians are the most stupid and ignorant group of people in any society.

On PM: ‘No alarm’ over ten-fold deficit rise

Do we really need to speculate?
Surely you jest.
How does a politician who never worked an honest day in their lives get rich?
How do criminals and sociopaths continue to rise to the top?
Hmm, not they they could be in bed with each other.

Porcupine says...

Cause money, or cost money birdie?
Cost I know you want to make cents.

Hey Tal, there is as much truth and intelligence over there, as over here.
Which is to say, as Carl Sagan said, "We have entered the age of ignorance." The average comments in our own national papers suggest we are still light years behind the US in education. Don't take it from me, just read birdie's comments and many others in this paper. Ourpopulation is virtually clueless. The US is clueless, while we are even more so. Any arguments there? People don't come to The Bahamas for higher learning, do they? And, what they call higher learning in the States is merely job training. Hence, 70+ million Americans voted for one of the most ignorant, vile people possible. And, we too, yes?

What Davis also failed to mention for good reason, is that the rampant government corruption, theft and incompetence is a very real factor in driving up consumer prices. We have made pay to play a significant barrier to entry for upstart businesses As well, the excessive spending which this administration excels at, all drive the cost of living up for those trying to make it on an average salary and honest work. Imagine if all of these crony contracts actually gave us value for the money. Imagine if these politicians actually worked for their salaries.

Porcupine says...

Of course birdie. And, you also saved a ton of money on education.
