Love the "fair share" argument. Fair to whom? According to whom? And when they come for your money once the wealthy have left?
What isn't fair is successive government administrations pissing ever increasing tax revenue away.
There is no competency in Bidding, actual quality of construction or proper administration of end use.
Zero decent upkeep on existing infrastructure.

We aren't getting anywhere near National development, cause we can't handle the truth about ourselves first and foremost. It ain't pretty. Start that conversation, until then all of this is opinion, which I believe we all still have a right to?

What the hell is wrong with just doing good for the country as an individual?
Damn they like their pomp and pageantry with budgets and attendants !
Whatever happened to selfless service? What happens when your successor isn't as philanthropic or well meaning? Must every precedent we set be the wrong one?

Can we hear from someone in Government with answers? Your legitimacy is on the line.
Your silence is deafening. Are your immigration mini-m'coutes ducking for cover?
Flush them out!

But will this law be utilized? As it stands there are many laws on the books completely ignored or not enforced, from the most minor to the most grave.
Write all the laws you like, they are only as good as enforcement.

No one race baits like Fred, a simple product of PLP illusion and fallacy.
He can only revert to that which he knows all too well.

You cannot legislate your way to success, just as you cannot create human initiative by legislating it.
These tech industries are led by people who trained themselves, those adept at math, adept at the sciences, Hours spent on youtube U, innate curiosity. Drive! We have spent the last 50 years beating individual thought/Drive/potential out of our people and youth.
You want success? Eliminate the plantation control/deny mentality. Reverse the typical "no" stance of Government rank and file that has robbed Bahamians of their initiative. "No" is the ultimate exercise of power in those ill suited to the exercise of authority. re-educate the civil service that authority under rule of law does not equate to personal power.
Understand the real problem before attempting a fix.

Tal the whole country is a plantation in mindset.
Until the general population wake up and realize that only Bahamians can hold them down nothing will change for the better. Change for the worse has been constant for 50 years.

Those who would trade freedom for security, end up with neither.
Excellent perspective. Our successive Government administrations have signed onto various trade agreements which go way beyond trade in their scope.
They have also treated the Bahamian public like mushrooms, in the dark.
Erecting fences and barriers keep some out but also keeps most Bahamians in.

Bruce is correct: Government, rightly wanting to entice Tech companies to our shores promptly build a box hoping they'll jump in. They won't. You don't structure or confine these tech guys.
They are a constantly moving dynamic. Their markets are global.
Second point is the "strangulation" of business in the Bahamas is directly tied into the "control/deny Psych pervasive throughout the Government and civil service.
There is no interaction with Government that is painless. That is what needs fixing.
