again Robert 'John the Baptist' Myers is on target. we have been cursed with successive intellectually challenged governments and that is the reason we should not expect any change.. i didn't know waste management was a mystery, but apparently here it is...

its all about profits.. more fees, less service.. use to call themselves the 'helpful bank'. i guess that means help themselves only. shame all of this. pretty soon we will be back to the days of the fly-in bankers like in LI and Inagua. once a week. keep ur money under the bed 6 days, bank 1 day. country going backwards and looks like there is nothing we can do to stop the slide...

competition in theory should moderate the market... however, despite the many banks we have now relative to market size, there is no competition on fees or anything else.. mostly u choose ur bank for convenience, slogan, paint scheme or some other meaningless reason...

29 to 31 seats despite all the chaos and disarray in the FNM... what drug is this man on?

nobody will buy this company as it is worthless.. gov't won't close it for reasons to do with national pride. they just put another $100m burden on us for new props for heaven's sake. long story short, bahamasair will go when the IMF and/or World Bank come knocking. Davis' talk about moving toward profit or reducing costs can only be a dream.. almost 43 years and never broke even.. operating costs higher than ever.. forget it...

Robert 'John the Baptist' Myers is doing a vital service crying out about the coming end of the Bahamas as we have known it. problem is, the changes he speaks of can only be implemented by the very group who caused this mess, the gov't. that being so, ensures there will be no action. i totally agree with spending caps and having to come to Parliament and us, the public, anytime you need to exceed the cap a.k.a budget. its the only way to develop fiscal discipline and to trap and destroy the free-spending mentality all prior gov'ts til now had and continue to have.

Good political talk, but thats about it.. airports alone do not miraculously lead to great tourist arrivals. You need much more... Facts are that south of Exuma, there has not been a single successful touristic resort of any magnitude ever. They put a big airport in north Cat Island decades ago, the place is still as run down and delapidated as ever. Lets look at Abaco, a big airport in Treasure Cay built decades ago.. you could lay down on the runway most days and never get run over by an airplane... Big airport in Governors Harbour courtesy of the USA and Club Med closed. Perhaps some boutique resorts might have a chance in LI, but thats about it and that does not merit a major airport. What they need is better connections and frequency from Nassau to suit arriving and departing US flights so the journey time is less than going to Europe or across the Pacific. They struggle to keep flights into Freeport using heavy subsidies from the MOT for heaven's sake. Better to spend a few dollars trying to revive a farming economy and perhaps bolstering the fishing industry somehow, much more potentially viable and realistic options in my view.

the national debt will continue to climb as we all lack discipline. i suggest regarding the 1:1 peg B$ vs. US $, a run on the banks will start as the writing on the wall becomes clearer, so why not get rid of the B$ and adopt the US $ as the national currency like many others have e.g. Zimbabwe, Panama, Turks & Caicos, etc.

Sounds like the makings of a economic assassination plot... maybe because we wont play ball on the tax thing like they want, maybe because of our coziness with the Chinese, maybe because the Trump gang are anti-everybody including now small black countries, maybe MSNBC wants some juicy news to pump the ratings, maybe they want some drug lord extradited, ... who knows what the motivation is?. Bottom line, nothing is a sure thing anymore.

what a shame.. the Bahamas on the verge of having an elected dictatorship simply because there is no cohesive group called the Opposition...
