Ryan Pinder must have just gotten off the Spanish Wells ferry. This predicament is prevalent throughout the country and especially in the blue-collar domestic workers' segment of the economy which has been allowed to become overwhelmingly dominated by ex-pats.
“The real mischief" lies in the decision that there were no Bahamians qualified to be housekeepers, gardeners, cooks, painters, and space cleaners resulting in 40,000 ex-pats displacing Bahamians for those jobs and forcing our people into begging and lives of crime trying to make ends meet!
John Pinder was on the right track just prior to COVID-19 disruption in identifying and removing unnecessary ex-pat workers.
If the PLP is truly interested in bringing down crime they need to start with solving the huge unemployment problem and put our people back to work!
Fred Mitchell knows better. He can issue 10,000 appeals to American authorities to make travel to the United States visa free for Bahamians all he wants to. The fact is, untold numbers of Haitians holding Bahamian passports have now made travel to the U.S. much more difficult for "real" Bahamians.
Corruption and slackness in the passport office facilitated 1000's of Haitians acquiring Bahamian passports. The U.S. knows only too well that if these Haitians were allowed into the country they will disappear and never return to the Bahamas!
I wouldn't encourage anyone to work for Sandals or any hotel. Their track record proves they don't give a dam about employees and our stupid politicians are so compromised they are powerless to intervene on workers' behalf.
This is the end result of unemployment as people scrounge, steal, wheel, and deal trying to make ends meet!
Politicians are the cause of unemployment and crime!
It was politicians that encouraged illegal Haitian migration by awarding deportees $250.00 which is equivalent to the annual salary in Haiti.
It was politicians that sold work permits as a way of putting money in the treasury and caused 40,000+ blue-collar workers to lose jobs in the domestic sector.
Now, the chickens have come home to roost. Bahamians have had to turn on each other like scavengers and have been reduced to 3rd class citizens in their own country by the very same politicians they voted for to guide them in building the nation.
The state of our country is an undeniable indictment of the total failure of politicians who "lead" us to this place we now find ourselves!
What makes this Rochelle Dean person think the individual was a woman just because of appearances. They could have identified as anything of the alphabet people!
If he was the best, why was he soundly rejected by the same people that overwhelmingly made him pm? Something doesn't add up with your support of Minnis.
The Bahamas is struggling to survive. The government could save up to 80% on prescription drugs if they had the moral compass to force suppliers to source generic medicines outside of the U.S.
U.S. prices were 84 percent of prices in all non-U.S. countries for unbranded generics. Significant savings could then be diverted to feeding those in need.
This is no time for the usual friends, family, and lovers nonsense we are accustomed to.
Why Minnis is crying is beyond comprehension. He made campaign promises that gave him a huge landslide victory that most of which would have been easy to implement during the pandemic while the country was closed because he had less to deal with.
Instead, he did the exact opposite of what he promised and was rightfully flushed down the toilet by the people just like all his predecessors!
Dumbass politicians have this notion that Bahamians are stupid people with short memories. This has been proven incorrect by Pindling, Ingraham, Christie, and now Minnis.
