The collapse of local retail businesses is imminent! Even now purchasing online makes shopping less hassle.

For local retailers to compete they would have to offer good prices with online shopping and same/next day home delivery.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. The Bahamas is well established as being among the 6 most expensive places in the world in which to live!

Individuals making $10K per month would actually be struggling in the "lower" middle class bracket.

How employers sleep at night paying people minimum wage and expect to have happy productive employees is beyond comprehension.

Neither candidate is worth two pinches of puppy poop. Regardless of which candidate wins the election, America loses!

Haitians?

**Obviously we have the dumbest politicians in the hemisphere.**

The PLP and FNM seem totally ignorant to the fact that declining Infrastructure is rendering Islands unsustainable and uninhabitable.

So instead of purchasing 6 proper ambulances, these clowns purchased 10 ambulances that cannot do the job.

The incompetence of the PLP is only surpassed by their stupidity!

Lol.....and the fools will still vote for them!

**We're sick and tired of politicians insulting our intelligence spinning nonsensical narratives**

When will politicians **grow up** and address the biggest elephant in the room causing **underlying social issues** the **Haitian to Bahamian ratio** in Englerston! And other inner-city areas.

Nothing positive can be expected after we have allowed the poorest, most uncivilized people in the hemisphere to not only infiltrate, but to dominate whole sections of many inner city communities.

Schools and teachers cannot properly mentor students because of the extraordinarily high volume of Haitians that have overwhelmed the education system. Social services, and healthcare systems are overburdened to the point of failure. Unemployment and under employment are causing too many Bahamians to suffer the indignity of not being able to take care of themselves and their families.

It would be no different than moving 30,000 Bahamians from the worse ghettos in Nassau into Lyford Cay, and overwhelming their school, with thousands of D average students!

Similarly, the resultant "underlying social issues" would cause total collapse of Lyford Cay.

If politicians would simply address these issues, crime would resolve itself!

PM Davis's “Clear, Hold, Build” does not resonate with the reality on the ground.

All of these described difficulties with doing developments and business here explains why It is no wonder that competing Caribbean resort destinations came from way behind us and surpassed the Bahamas in recent decades!

The two obvious questions that immediately pops into mind are: Why is it that both PLP and FNM are so very comfortable with all of the obvious bottlenecks making doing business and developments here dam near impossible? How does retarding development profit the PLP and FNM?

Until these questions are answered, nothing could remotely change.

Very hard to believe we're still in the dark ages with such vital and rudimentary things like fire trucks in Exuma and other family islands!

Are there ambulances and adequate health care facilities there?
