This is the easiest to resolve no-brainer the country has.
Simply make Freeport a duty free shopping zone like Panama, and the Islands economy would do an "immediate" 180-degree turn. Airlines, hotels, and investors from Central and North America would be lined up begging to get in.
The worst case scenario is Freeport becoming excessively profitable within 12 months!
Claiming Disney’s acquisition and development plan of Lighthouse Point would be unsustainable and hazardous to Eleuthera's eco-system is a bit far-fetched.
However, we do not need Disney or any other foreign entity owning 100% of a resort development in our country. The Chinese have way too much of a foothold already.
Disney and any other tourism related foreign developers should be made to partner with a Bahamian group and/or steered to Freeport where the infrastructure already exists to support major developments.
We applaud The Prime Minister for having the fortitude to simply speak the truth and stand up for Bahamians for a change.
Bahamians better maintain a healthy level of fear, xenophobia, and ethnic hatred for any grouping that invades our country and dispossess our people out of what is rightfully their own!
Haitians are for Haitians and Haiti first, as they should be, and Bahamians should equally be for Bahamians and the Bahamas first!
Blah, blah, blah, Christie was too busy dancing about the place and selling us out to the Chinese to get anything accomplished!
If Christie had an ounce of grey matter under all that hair dye, he would have seen the wisdom offered by Dr. Andre Rollins early after their 2012 victory to get as much accomplished as fast as possible.
"Out of the mouth of babes" meant absolutely nothing to this dancing clown!
Dilly Tree, you bleeding hearts refuse to face the reality that "**Bahamian** humans are suffering" right here! You people need to stop being "mean-spirited" and start "showing a little humanity" for your fellow countrymen for a change!
I don't see any Haitians losing everything they worked a lifetime to acquire or begging all over the place and suffering mental illnesses from neglect and unemployment.
**YES**, it is 100% inescapably political! Which other country ever had a policy of rewarding illegals the equivalent of a years income and no punishment for violating its immigration laws? Neither political party accepts responsibility for the asinine stupidity of **giving away our hard earned tax dollars to illegal Haitian migrants** that further encouraged Haitians to invade our country!
"We the people" had nothing to do with causing the Haitian invasion! We need to pull our heads out of our backsides and hold these useless, unscrupulous, self-serving politicians 100% accountable for their actions!
Sorry, we can't help Haiti this time. Too many of our Bahamian brothers and sisters in dire need of our help.
Thank GOD Hubert Alexander Ingraham is NOT PM or he would have already been arranging to empty the treasury and urge Bahamians to send every dime they can find to help his Haitian brothers and sisters.
It is amusing that Michael Scott seems surprised at being railroaded by Hutchison Whampoa.
Anyone with a peanut-sized brain and the ability to read knows that Chinese are cutthroat business people that have absolutely no tolerance for foreign intervention, partnerships or cooperation at any level. The Chinese are well known for doing business with foreigners on a "need" bases only and with the ultimate goal of getting rid of the foreigner as soon as possible at any cost and at the earliest possible opportunity.
Without a doubt, the Chinese government rightly perceived Perry Christie as an easily caged & corruptable minion, hence the present situation of Chinese ownership of our major tourism product.
We can expect many more complications than Michael Scott's experience thanks to the personal greed and gross stupidity of Perry Gladstone Christie and Hubert Alexander Ingraham!
Guaranteed these people waste fortunes wearing all the newest fashions, shoes, riding around in shiny, fresh cars with expensive tires, rims, window tint, and have a ball wasting money every weekend and holiday!
These fools have their priorities backward. How did they figure not paying their mortgage was a good idea?
Let's see how they will go to work without those clothes that got locked up with the houses and how they will live and eat in those nice shiny cars with a dray load of pissed off kids who can't go to school.
Stupid does as stupid is. I have no sympathy for these stupid people, they deserve to be kicked out, but I am concerned about the innocent, suffering children of these stupid "parents".
