Moss, McCartney, Christie, Minnis and all the others are just power hungry egotistical maniacs... they say they represent the wishes of the people.. well if so, how the hell could those in the House unanaimously support the referendum recently, yet the people whose voice they always claim to speak for, firmly reject everything? out of touch? you decide...
these union people think only they have cards to play.. if u try to tell the man how to run his business and what level of operating expenses and profit should be adequate, expect pushback. Sarkis is lucky in this respect, the govt and Chinese got him before the union.. maybe a blessing in disguise..
Why is it Sarkis is mounting a 'last ditch effort to obstruct' when he uses the legal maneuvers available to him, but when the government jammed his chapter 11 filings last year that was a matter of sovereignty? Whats good for the goose my friends.......
We Bahamians are such a f*%ked up people.. None, including the hotel Union do jack sh*t to invest in any meaningful way in the hotel business yet when the white foreign man comes with his money to do it, we start stabbing them in the back first chance we get? Example.. Sarkis was trying to get money from the government for their share of moving West Bay Street.. DPM said we can't pay because we are not sure we owe that amount... Low and behold, soon as Sarkis filed, government took the same money they wouldn't give Sarkis and used it to pay unemployed people.. The same money they say they wasn't sure they owed... Sounds like holding back the money might have been part of a conspiracy to suck the project from Sarkis. If he has any sense left, he will go and spend his money where he might get some cooperation and support instead of treachery...
No surprises here at all.. ever since the mandatory 15% we have been on the skids.. our people need to look at the competition.. in every case, they have more to offer at less cost.. Cuba is now getting into the game and that means things aren't going to get any better.. problem is our people need a reality check.. we still have the 'they have to come here' attitude.. well dream on.. we have been victimized by our own meaningless 'sloganeering' like 'it just keeps getting better'.. what a joke.. blessings comrades..
One would have thought we had bigger fish to fry . This should not even make the top 100 concerns.. What nuclear sites or sensitive defense facilities we are concerned about? Worried about somebody looking over your fence and seeing your wife in a bikini? Uninsured drivers, delinquent taxpayers, vendors squandering public funds with impunity, and we are concerned about drones.. We need our heads checked...
Money well spent for a change.. Compared to millions of dollars to buy navy ships and airplanes for the RBDF to defend against who and what? 2 boats patrolling south of Inagua 24/7 could do everything you need to stop Haitian boats and turn them back.. A nation of 350,000 needs to be realistic with expectations and not hang the hat higher than we can reach..
Won't do anything to help the $20m+ per year in losses since these planes the same size as the Dash 8 and didn't bahamasair management say years ago they was too big for the domestic market because of competition?.. anyway, it looks good and hopefully will provide more reliable service for a while.. too bad we the taxpayers have to pay for it .. Any comment from Mr. Butler who always seems to be the go-to man for airline comments....
