The PLP and FNM have made Civil war inevitable in the Bahamas. It is not a matter of "if" it will happen, the only question is "when" it will happen!

Now the pot is pointing fingers and calling the kettle black again! 50% from one shyt-show to half of another shyt-show!

We desperately need **"REAL"** change.

Pure and simple prejudice!

Don't be a jackass, what profession is so difficult? It would be obvious within weeks if a person is untrainable or unsuitable. In either case, that individual should be immediately replaced, and the foreigner should still be accountable to train a replacement within the allotted time.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We have heard this same bullshyt song and dance from every PM for 40 years and have gotten absolutely no results from any of them.

This whole subject has become so diluted that It is way beyond ludicrous for the government to even mention, much less, consider renewing a work permit after 10 or 15 years!

What damn job could possibly take 10 to 15 years for a Bahamian to qualify for? If the government were in any way near serious, there would be an 18 Month to 2-year maximum on any work permit.

If the foreigner is unable to train a Bahamian in a maximum of 2 years, it can only mean the individual is **"incapable of training,"** and that individual should then be automatically disqualified for any work permit renewals!

This ongoing 40-year bullshyt talk from governments about “We’re not anti-foreigners. We’re just pro-Bahamian” and renewing work permits for 10 to 15 years is an insult to our intelligence.

Businesses want to hire the most productive, but do not want to pay Bahmaians to produce!

The foreigner gets better pay, housing, school fees, and transport allowances while the Bahamian is paid a low wage.

Don't expect an underpaid Bahamian to train your well-compensated foreigners and produce.

This is a total shyt show starring Brent Symonett, Keith Bell, and any number of skeletons on both sides of the aisle.

Bell and Symonett could give a damn about what the people think.

We need change asap!

Between the Baha Mar and FTX scandals, several well-known pirates are having sleepless nights worrying about where and how deep the U.S. investigations will go and how many of their mates will be compromised and exposed as leading pirates.

Fred Mitchel has a good point. The wealthy complain about everything under the the sun while using every resource and loophole possible to avoid paying their fair share of taxes in their home countries and here.

The amount of taxes in the Bahamas is a drop in the bucket to taxes these people are evading by leaving their home countries.

Dr. Minnis has the backbone of a jellyfish. Fred Mitchel is 100% correct. If they don't want to pay their fair share of taxes here, then they should go back to where they came from or elsewhere!

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Shut up already! These idiots are always trying to reinvent the wheel.

They want consultations with who about what?

REAL countries all around us have long done the research and moved forward with legalizing cannabis and making it profitable. What more these clowns need to clarify is one of the biggest mysteries of all time.

They need to immediately stop harassing tourists and locals for possession of personal use quantities of pot.
