I now realize that he is really speaking to senior police and office and he's absolutely correct, nobody should be fearful. This is the Bahamas, nobody is held to account.

Sad. But not our problem. If you're paying rent, then rent an approved property.

Sounds like yet another foreign investor get swing by our christian people. None of these parties looked into the zoning properly? Doubtful. They knew there was more money to be made by keeping that little fact a secret and then charge him extra for the laborious task of re-zoning.

This government useless bad. Definitely NOT a government FOR the people.

Hold on. The government has money available to lend bpl money but doesn't have enough money to pay its bills? Am I the only one confused by this?

Sorry but you are dead wrong. Government is the ONLY one to blame for BPL's woes. But I understand what you're saying. ;)
They put the wrong management in place, they give all contracts to one person and on top of all of that destructive behavior, they don't even pay their God Darn bills. Intentionally and knowingly crippling our economy. criminals!!!

Hold on... I thought Cooper was the PM. Who's this Davis fella?

We also need to remember that minimum wage is not necessarily aimed at working adults with children. The population getting minimum wage are usually those starting their careers (i.e. justo out of high school and some just out of college). It also helps young adults working in menial jobs hoping to build experience and helping fund a household with their parents and siblings.
Once you're in your middle-to-late twenties most of the population should have been working for a number of years already and have worked themselves up a level or two and minimum wage is comfortably behind them.
A person getting, or worried about getting, paid a minimum wage should not be a single parent trying to maintain a household. That situation should be extremely rare and should only happen through unfortunate circumstances (i.e. spouse died unexpectedly) or extreme stupidity.
In short... people getting minimum wage should be under 25 and living at home with their parents trying to save money and move up the corporate ladder.

you need to continue with your economics though... if you raise taxes, then wages soon follow suit. If you raise wages then prices soon follow suit. If you raise prices then inflation follows, and the circle continues.

Higher taxes can certainly start the ball rolling.

So to summarise:
- Management has been asleep for two years and have not done anything to bring costs down.
- Shell's monopoly is increasing the cost of electricity
- Management uses the most expensive-to-run generators all the time, instead of the more fuel efficient ones. One can only surmise that this is being done in order to generate as much revenue as possible for Shell - and to hell with the consumer.

To do:
- fire management... AGAIN.
- end the monopoly on fuel supply
- investigate management for any potential kickbacks received from Shell/FOCOL as something smells like sweaty, yeasty bread.
- review generator rental agreement for potential kickbacks as BPL always has them running for some reason (maybe other than 3rd party profit generation) maybe so that they need to be replaced/maintained more often so there's more money to be made by 3rd party.
