Games, smoke and mirrors, and more games! Focal is owned by the Sunshine boys. The Sunshine boys are the PLP and FNM. And the PLP and FMNM are the government.

So the government "pretending" to be against a rate increase and creating a diesel fuel shortage will create just enough pain for the public to give the government justification for a rate increase at the pumps.

The bottom line is FOCAL (the PLP and FNM) facilitates a price increase at the pumps and gets to blame the dealers for the increase in fuel cost!

St Anne’s MP Adrian White, Fox Hill MP Fred Mitchell, and Carmichael MP Keith Bell are 3 blind mice!

Thank you, Mrs. Aranha, for talking some sense into these 3 blind mice.

We are guided by blind men that became geniuses on election night.

Environment and Natural Resources Minister Vaughn Miller has risen from the dead.

This self-serving clown had everything to say about natural resources being for the Bahamian people until we voted him in and he obviously accepted a Cabinet seat to shut his mouth!

No, Vaughn, we the people are furious at YOU for taking the bribe like all before you. Time longer than rope and I assure you, we will not forget your treachery!

The hotel industry is the very, very, last place for anyone to work!

Besides the low wages, long hours, and bad treatment, the risk of layoffs during slow periods, or being fired for frivolous reasons is a well-known reality.

Robert Farquharson and Keith Bell are disingenuous and too politically correct. They would never tell prospective employees the true dangers of working in the hotel industry.

Anyone desperate enough to take a job in the hotel industry needs to be aware that it is extremely volatile, and should carefully consider the consequences and survival of their families when slow periods, layoffs, and redundancies roll BACK around.

Indeed, the hotel industry should only be considered as a very last resort for employment.

Due to Starlinks' ability to provide quality services at better costs, without hard connections like cable and fiber, Starlink will very quickly become the leader in telephone, cable, and internet services throughout the Bahamas within 6 to 9 months of start-up.

Whether BTC, Cable Bahamas, and Aliv are ready to face reality or not, Starlink is the future!

Cable Bahamas' $80m-$85m investment in its fibre-to-the-home network designed to compete head-on with BTC's similar infrastructure is a redundant exercise that won't amount to a hill of beans when Starlink rolls out.

The only instance when BTC, Cable Bahamas, and Aliv, might be of any prevalence to consumers is during a hurricane or severe weather event that would interfere with Starlink connections.

Otherwise, BTC, Cable Bahamas, and Aliv, will quickly become relics of the past!

Lol...Even a blind man can see this is just another tactic for stalling.

"However, we certainly have every right to proceed with violations of the Buildings Regulation Act". Someone finally figured that out?

Are these clowns trying to tell us 50 years down the road' that both parties are completely incompetent? They'll be wanting our votes soon enough!

Izaba, izaba, izaba, yikho konke okwenzayo. Linganisa inkundla futhi ubuke umlingo! Lol

It is easy for those that have everything to advocate for those that have less to "pull up their own socks and make better decisions".

However, these very same privileged people conveniently forget that their forefathers didn't "pull up their own socks" which provided the opportunities for generational wealth which they benefit from today!

The playing field must be leveled so we as humans may progress as equals.

I have enjoyed many weeks in Africa. Incredibly, you descendants of the slave trade feel it is unfair to level the playing field by doing for blacks now what was done for your forefathers then that allowed you to progress!

Hundreds of years of ill gotten-privilege are ingrained in your DNA and you've grown accustomed to the love for servitude, racism, prejudice, racial discrimination, and social injustices that is the legacy of slavery.

From the start of the European slave trade (c. 1500) to the Civil War (1865) “The total number of slaves imported is not known. It is estimated that nearly 900,000 came to America in the 16th Century, 2.75 million in the 17th Century, 7 million in the 18th, and over 4 million in the 19th – perhaps 15 million in total. Probably every slave imported alive represented, on average, five corpses in Africa or on the high seas. The American slave trade alone, therefore, meant the elimination of at least 60 million Africans from their fatherland.”

The largest slave trade in the history of the world was created by white Christian Europeans. Before it was over as many as 60 million Africans would be killed for the profit of white Christian imperialism.

Generations after generations of you racists profiting immensely from hundreds of years of ill gotten-privilege compared to hundreds of years of debilitating slavery, and now you have the audacity to look down on the descendants of the black people whose shoulders and heads your forefathers stood on to get you where you are today!

The playing field must be balanced to eradicate servitude, racism, prejudice, racial discrimination, and social injustices you have unjustly become accustomed.
