Still pointing fingers. If Bahamar had its shit together this wouldn't have gone into bankruptcy in the first place. I can't see how people keep blaming the government alone. The folks at Bahamar are idiots and it appears are willing to not take any responsibility what so ever. Only CCA and our government is to blame. Get real Sandy. The executives there sitting up getting a big check and the project hasn't been completed. Some heads should roll.

Andre talking rubbish about being tricked. Big man like you with advanced degrees and title talking about he get swing. I don't think he got swing, he just plain and simple stupid. He doesn't have to even comment on this. Just lay low and do your thing. Minnis is a big boy and I'm sure he can take care of himself.

Wish you well Pauline.

Two big gals.

Well done. That was their bail right there. Take no prisoners.

Goes to show that not everyone strolling into our country on a fancy boat is legit.

I don't think they'll use the race card. They'll be stupid to do so. I would hope that the people of this nation are beyond that. All the legal arguments and political rhetoric aside I would like to see our country move forward at a much more steady pace. This jagged, patchy approach to development is not working. Again there are no blameless parties here. People are so closed to their personal issues with the plp or fnm or sarkis. Who gives a shit anyway? We have rampant crime, graduating failing students and we're talking about one development. Granted, it is a huge development but we have to shift our focus as a people toward doing things for ourselves.

I agree with you John. We should not all be measured by these traditional models of education. The issues for me are the basics. If you can't do basic math or write a simple letter that's a problem. I've seen carpenters and contractors underestimate work then they run out of material and the owner gets screwed. We at least have to grasp the basics. This includes; simple math, basic language skills and knowing what it means to be punctual. Basic skills which are lacking in many Bahamian companies

I don't see this as a political issue and we have to stop analyzing it as such. The decline in educational standards have been ongoing for years and successive governments appear impotent to do anything about it. The main part of the problem is that there is a segment of the population who believe it's cool to be stupid. Parents are just as much to blame as an ineffective education system. Many parents seem to not find the time to go over homework with their kids or attend PTA meetings to follow their children's progress. Then we sit back and blame governments. True, the government has to take some responsibility for not fostering the best learning environment for our kids ie. unsafe campuses, poor facilities etc. But we cannot continue to blame others for what is a collective societal failure. Employers accept and hire people who cannot read, write or do simple arithmetic. So what do we expect? We have a singing bishop who can't form a proper sentence and gets all kind of media coverage. It seems as though ignorance and illiteracy is ubiquitous in our society.

Never should've started down the road of paying in the first place. Again, we end up with the 'too big to fail scenario,' and the government is forced to bail out. My impression is that the project hired too fast and there wei a lot of people milling around doing nothing. I know of a few personally who spent their days literally doing nothing. The hotel was not complete so their training could not be completed. Anyway, let's hold hands and sing cumbaya so we can find a solution.
