So, we have given up on intelligence and education? You can't legislate morality or behavior. Is this not clear? Does nobody read our papers? Isn't murder illegal? Why don't we introduce legislation that? Oh yeah, we tried that. Get real Minnis. Stop the foolishness. Until we educate our people, we will continue down the road of destructive behavior. We have failed to produce thinking adults. We drink excessively, gamble excessively, eat shitty fried food, do not exercise, and continue to vote for some of the shabbiest people around. We have some of the most ignorant people in the world. Are the stats not enough for you, Minnis? What is the definition of NCD ailments? Why do you think we keep voting in people such as yourself? Why do we have so many losers in Parliament? Because we have such an enlightened population?
There have also been nasty, highly charged and inflammatory accusations that Israel has lured people to aid distribution sites in order to shoot them. But such a grotesquely absurd notion has been dismissed as being anyway inherently implausible because it must be obvious to all that Israel would have absolutely nothing to gain from such terrible action, and a tremendous amount to lose in the propaganda war.
Mr. Young, you are privy to all of the info that everyone else has available. You choose to ignore what is inconvenient. Your unbridled support for the terrorist state of Israel is sickening beyond words. You Mr. Young are a coward and small little man. That you would make excuses for bombing, starving, and torturing fellow human beings disqualifies you from civil society. You are truly a sick person, Mr. Young.
This is the back end of destroying our economy. What we don't see, and are not allowed to see, are all the unnecessary spending and huge loans taken out in our name. These loans are "needed" because we have so horribly mismanaged our economy and allowed wholesale corruption, waste and fraud to take over this country. What should be clear is that the majority of Bahamians are struggling economically,. These reckless moves by uneducated politicians are further endangering the already fragile middle class. While they jet around the world and come home to one of their gated community homes with guards, they are absolutely unable to feel what most Bahamians feel. The political class has produced nothing except more dire living conditions for the good people of this nation. Neither the PLP nor the FNM have ever brought any true relief to The People. Ever.
"Detailing the Government’s response, which came after he finished his Senate presentation on the land reforms, Mr Henfield added: “When I completed my intervention, the minister of economic affairs, Michael Halkitis, who is a good guy, stood up and indicated this is not intended to tax Bahamians in the short-term rental business with listings on Airbnb and VRHO." What constitutes a "good guy"? Someone who is either patently stupid, which I don't think is the case, or someone without the balls to tell the Bahamian people what economic state we currently occupy and what the future looks like for our children. This entire political class, including Mr. Good Guy do not have the moral fortitude to do what is right for our country. Like every other politician in this administration, they see the writing on the wall and are making sure they and their families have an exit strategy. Honesty and integrity do not exist in this government. Period. They will tax The People to death whilst they are jetting around the world eating the best food our tax money can buy. They don't care about us. When will we wake up?
The world can never change for the better by being obedient. Those who practice civil disobedience will be punished, but they are among the very few who will command change for the better. The rest of us will remain silent, as the injustices happen before our eyes. Many will say nothing.. The police and the defense force will always be on the wrong side of history. Anyone who reads, even poorly, must see history as such. Those in uniform are there to serve the powerful, the rich and the politically connected. They are not on the people's side. Never have been.
Dear Ivoine Ingrahm, You are showing your age. With that age comes experience, learning and wisdom. These too, are also lacking today.' Your words are spot on, accurate, true, uncomfortable. Yes, what happened? Because it was as you say. Those old enough have seen these indisputable changes ourselves. I am afraid we may never regain the place we once had. The brain drain has been real and far too many have left our shores due to the breakdown of our social order, and the unfairness and corruption of our political class, including the judiciary. The effects are well described by you above. It seems to be happening all over the world, leaving me to wonder if it hasn't been planned this way. But, as you clearly and honestly state the truth, what is it that will change things for the better. We don't seem to be interested in learning. Not by reading, or any other method. We don't seem to be interested in speaking up and out about the injustices and deceit. We remain silent in the face of mounting social upheaval and blatant dishonesty from our politicians. So, I feel exactly as you do. Now, how do we get nation-oriented politicians out of a population that you just described above? Who, educated and capable, would stay here in The Bahamas, waiting for things to "turn around"? Seems like those who are holding political office are little more than greedy little people. They certainly do not, as if the evidence isn't right in front of our eyes, have much concern past the idea of fattening themselves up at our expense. Yes, The Bahamas is changing. Sadly, it is changing for the worst. And, all we get is words, more words and more loans to saddle and degrade this country forever.
