We have ALWAYS underperformed, come dead last in everything, and been ass-backward. The only thing Bahamas excels in is systemic corruption, and asinine political stupidity!
The Bahamas is not the first, or uniquely the sole country on the planet to need patents covering marine microbes and genetic resources.
How about simply investing a few days studying best practices from other countries and following their lead? No brain required. What the hell is so difficult?
Who are the geniuses that negotiated on our behalf giving these foreign entities licenses for exploration without a clause the country benefits from any findings?
Each new pharmaceutical use product has the potential of generating billions of dollars! Allowing foreign entities to abscond with patents for over 100 "new natural products" is inexcusable, especially when our country is flat broke, $9B in debt, and or people are literally starving in darkness!!
No surprise here. Successive governments simply either couldn't figure out how to manipulate the situation for personal gain or were too busy with asinine stupidity, as usual, to get out of their own way!
Meanwhile, people continue dancing and suffering wearing their red and gold tee-shirts.
What is really sad is people that purposefully misconstrue a narrative. Nobody remotely suggested they would like to see all the enclaves in the country that are the home to wealthy Bahamians and wealthy foreigners closed.
Everyone with a D- average mentality understands the benefits derived from the gated communities' needs for a multitude of various local vendors.
The point is, the Bahamas would benefit much more if wealthy Bahamians and wealthy foreigners hired Bahamian, domestic, and skilled labor. Why should we allow ex-pat domestic and skilled labor when Bahamians are capable of doing those jobs?
No Bahamian laborer would be granted any job in the Philippines if a Filipino could be found to even marginally fill that position! Why don't we love our people?
The Bahamas should simply adapt to the policies of the countries ex-pats come from. If their country does not allow Bahamians to be employed, then we shouldn't allow their people to be employed here!
Why should we continue bending over backward employing ex-pats who do not participate in the local economy, care nothing about our country and people, while our own people suffer, are forced to live substandard lives, or need to turn crime for survival? Then of course you say "Bahamians are thieves".
The Economic Recovery Committee, said Lyford Cay and associated businesses/facilities were responsible for providing more than 7,000 annual jobs and a $201m annual wage bill?
Before we bow down to Lyford Cay we need to confirm "Who" are holding these Lyford Cay 7,000 annual jobs at a $201m annual wage bill!
Predominately Filipinos and "others" hold the vast majority of these jobs. **not bahamians.** And major portions of this income is repatriated, so we have no reason to be overly thankful to Lyford Cay!
