**"20 percent of teens have attempted suicide, and nearly 25 percent have contemplated it".** This is only what they know about and actually translates to more than 50% of our youth being suicidal. This also explains the record high adult suicide rate.
Everybody trying to tip toe around the elephant in the room. **Decades of Failed leadership!**
Where are all of the usual smart alec, one line comebacks, from the sweet mouth politicians? Every one of them past and present should stay under the rocks they've quickly crawled under and stay there forever.
**"it's the economy, stupid"**
Politicians are now forced to stop playing dumb and ignoring the impact and multilayered economic and social damages tens of thousands of foreign blue collar workers disenfranchising Bahamians of jobs are having on our people.
Children are a mirror of suffering, unemployed, and underemployed, parents! It would be an interesting exercise to quantify suicidal tendencies between Haitians vs. Bahamians.
We didn't get to this point overnight. This is a serious, unquestionable, indictment against the countries 5 decades of leadership.
No amount of slick political jargon and ducking can save them this time.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Youth depression is directly related to financial circumstances in the home as they watch underemployed and unemployed parents drown in debt!
Depressed youth see parents and families driven to disfunction due to lack of employment opportunities and financial hardships.
When they see parents can't survive, they have no hope for themselves, and are driven to suicidal tendencies.
**“This is not about blame" ?**
To the contrary. **This is all about 5 decades of failed leadership**
🤣 I knew one of you political apologist would be stupid enough to attempt shifting the blame of "political failings" to protect low skilled jobs for Bahamians on parents.
Literally 10"s of thousands of low skilled jobs now occupied by expats should have been reserved for Bahamians only!
No Bahamian will will EVER be granted a low skilled blue collar job in Asia, Latin Ameica, or Haiti!
If foreign employers don't like black domestic workers, they shouldn't be here. They can carry their ass's to another country. We will survive just as well without them too, because their Asian, Latino, or Haitian employees send remittances to home countries which doesn't benefit the Bahamas.
Unemployed, desperate, Bahamian youth's have no alternative but to turn to crime for survival.
Don't act surprised if **Y-O-U** wake up one morning to the barrel of a gun!
To resolve the problem government needs to simply keep bringing in more Asians, Latinos, Haitians, and others to disenfranchise more of our youth from jobs, hope, and opportunities!
You hit the nail square on the head! Nassau has the same problem only worse, with expats and second home owners.
They could care less about our laws, and why should they when there's no penalty and nobody has been fined for hiring illegals, secondly, immigration can't go into gated communities to look for illegals anyway.
The country is buried in illegals from all over the place being facilitated by expats and second home owners looking for the cheapest labour.
**Wannabe king** Trump will do whatever he wants to do regardless of court orders.
Bahamians need to follow the rest of the world ignore Trump, and simply move their students to Canada, Latin America or the EU.
The world doesn't "need" and can get along very well without America! In fact isolating America from the rest of the world would result in less chaos, wars, and dishevel globally!
The reforms the Bahamas truly needs to "unlock real potential" is to have lands systematically stolen from Bahamians starting with colonialism through the 1959 quieting titles act returned to the rightful inheritors!
Mr. Davis is correct that clever (dishonest) lawyers on both sides of the House continue to play leading roles in circumventing the law to benefit greedy clients to the detriment of Bahamians that cannot afford expensive legal representation.
The Chinese Ambassador Ms. Yan Jiarong has made a very important observation that everyone conveniently ignores by stating **"China does not coerce, threaten, sanction, or invade others."**
Since 1946 the US has been in numerous wars includes the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, and many other smaller conflicts. According to statistics from Uppsala University, there have been 285 armed conflicts since 1946.
This does not include any number of coerced regime changes involving assassinations of world leaders and interfering with countries governance by installing puppet leaders to allow US control of resources.
Not to be forgotten is the fact that the United States has a history of breaking treaties and committing genocides beginning with the indigenous American Indians and Mexicans, and is guilty of many other genocides around the world including the ongoing genocide in Gaza!
Alternatively, China has no record of this dark behavior and instead has become the number one preferred global collaborator for development across the globe!
Given the stark differences in reality between the Unite States and China, only a totally ignorant individual would trust the United States over China.
