If the phucking crooked politicians looked after their constituents like they looked after friends, family and lovers, the Bahamas wouldn't have any problems!!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Prime Minister Davis must live in a very small bubble. He didn't need to go all the way to Freeport to see people suffering because he could have seen any number of homeless Bahamians living in abandoned buildings and in their cars right here in Nassau!
This trip was nothing more than a good photo op for Brave. People that have been in this type of situation for prolonged periods will get absolutely no benefit from two or three months of counseling. And so-called rehabilitation will not help their mindset or get them into mainstream life again! In many instances, these people have been totally demoralized for years.
If PM Davis were "truly interested" in alleviating social ills that affect Bahamians he would have to show much better convincing efforts to prove it.
Firstly, the PM needs to face the fact that the vast majority of our homeless and unemployed are in the undereducated, blue-collar job catagory. These are the Bahamians that should always have priority for domestic-type jobs. They are also the same grouping that falls victim to criminal activity as the only alternative as a means for survival when faced with hard times.
Secondly, successive governments have made the blunder of using immigration fees for foreign domestic workers as means of cash flow for the Treasury, resulting in giving the domestic job industry to foreign workers and the unemploying of Bahamians.
I am not aware of any other country in the world that allows foreigners to overwhelm a whole segment of their economy to the detriment of its own citizens. In fact, countries seriously protect low-skilled jobs opportunities for their own people. No Bahamian will EVER get a job in the Filipinas as a domestic worker, blue-collar worker, or in any other job capacity that a Filipeanos remotely qualifies for!
Thirdly, the illegal immigrant situation has been out of control for decades....with the blessing of successive governments that have done nothing to stop the invasion.
A simple seriously inforced initiative of fining anyone $10,000 and revoking work permits, residencies, and citizenships, if caught **hiring or helping** illegals, would put an immediate huge dent in our illegal migrant problem, and create any number of blue-collar jobs literally overnight! This is what the people need to regain their dignity, self-worth, mental rehabilitation, and a means to escape the need for criminal activity.
No more blah, blah, blah. If Prime Minister Davis doesn't want to be seen as just more political lip service and photo ops as all those before him, he will have to actually **reverse the immigration blunders** of former leaders, implement common sense deterrents for illegals, and put our people back to work!
@ John, I specifically identified NIB, health care, and blue-collar jobs being overwhelmed by Haitians. Unquestionably, there is an unacceptable number of Haitians, Mexicans, Chinese, Indians, Africans, and others living off the fat of the land created by Bahamians. The word on the street is these people all have access to unlimited amounts of "black money" derived from underground economic activity here and abroad which they invest here.
Alternatively, the vast majority of Bahamians are unable to obtain credit for business investments except for luxury cars and other stupid reasons from local banks.
@ the messenger, for so-called intelligent, educated people, middle to upper-class Bahamians like yourself make a lot very idiotic, unreasoned, selfish, statements. We all know Haitians, Mexicans, Chinese, Indians, Africans, Asians, Latinos, and anyone else from economically depressed countries have better work ethics than Bahamians, and for good reason.
These people are from countries where competition is fierce, making a living is close to impossible, and earning hard currency is unheard of! They have suffered in their respective home countries with little or nothing for decades. Working in the Bahamas and earning hard currency at western rates is the best thing to ever happen for them running a close second only to going to heaven!
No Bahamian, American, Canadian, or anyone from a "rich" country can be expected to have the same work ethic as people who only know deprivation, need, and want. How Haitians, Mexicans, Chinese, Indians, Africans, Asians, Latinos **view and value $1.00** and what they are gladly willing to do for that dollar is incomprehensible to an individual from a rich country.
Bringing in Haitians, Mexicans, Chinese, Indians, Africans, Asians, and Latinos, to replace the Bahamian workforce is non-sensical, irrational, unsustainable, and will continue to contribute to high crime as Bahamians are forced to criminal activity for survival.
The state of our country is undeniable proof that politicians' guiding us speedily down a dangerous path with the wrong solutions.
While we stand around talking bullshyt about Brave, Griff, and ting, has anyone else noticed that Bahamians cannot get served at NIB offices because they are buried with Haitians, Bahamians cannot get into the hospital because they too are buried with Haitians, and Bahamians cannot find jobs because Haitians have hogged up all the blue-collar jobs as well!
Where are the useless, good-for-nothing politicians who are supposedly charged with "protecting our sovereignty"?
Singapore GDP 340 billion USD (2020), Switzerland GDP 748 billion USD (2020) Luxembourg GDP 73.26 billion USD (2020), Dubai GDP 410.16 billion USD (2021), and the Caymans have a **very well managed migration policy** total population of 63,131. Mixed 40%, White 20%, African descent 20%, expatriates of various ethnic groups 20%.
Comparatively, the Bahamas is a joke on every imaginable front to these other countries, which by the way take good care of their own citizens first.
The rate of crime is an undeniable indicator that the country is speeding down the wrong path making further disaster inevitable.
At some point in the foreseeable future, some of you smart-ass ex-pats are going to insult the right group of people just enough with your "family bashing" bullshyt to make yourselves targets, and when that line is crossed it's a one-way street.
Regardless of the ex-pats' normal nonsensical chatter here, the matter is easily hypothetically quantified.
What would be the resultant effect if the Bahamas allowed another 30,000 ex-pats' to occupy low-skilled white collar and blue collar jobs?
**Secondly, the Bahamas is no Singapore!** Singapore's GDP grew 7.2% in 2021, on the back of 5.9% Q4 growth. Singapore's economy grew 5.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021, bringing full-year growth to 7.2 percent.
Singapore has a **REAL** government constantly improving robust economic growth allowing them to sustainably absorb a steady flow of expats', compared to the Bahamas where successive governments totally failed to keep development on par with population growth made exponentially worse by unfathomable out of control illegal migration AND expats' occupying jobs Bahamians should have.
No ex-pat' would agree he is not needed here, or truthfully admit his being here is a major contributor to unemployment which leads to crime.
This bullshyt ex-pat "go-to" narrative that "it starts in the home" is fodder for idiots. IT starts in the belly and with the unmet needs of desperate people trying the only way left to survive!
There are plenty of reasons we can’t be the Singapore of the Caribbean. Let's start with the systemic corruption which prohibits the Bahamas from doing anything sensible.
From financial services to immigration and everything in between the Bahamas has an overabundance of decades-old deeply embedded corruption rendering the government incapable of implementing common-sense best practices to move the country forward.
Singapore had to dismantle the Bahamas type of corruption BEFORE they were able to move forward. The Bahamas cannot expect to reap the rewards of Singapore's style of governance without FIRST dealing with corruption.
As long as the PLP or FNM is in power, the Bahamas will NEVER resolve endemic and systemic corruption because it is them that created, maintain, and thrive from corruption!
