As to our ability to do better... well, it's obvious the people with "*electability shine*" cant.
Said two weeks ago the flooding in Nassau was not about a storm but about rain and the lunar cycle. With the possibility of the two coinciding negatively 365 days a year. The response was, "*it's a storm what can we do?*"... well, there was no storm over the weekend and there's no climate impact. This is through and through, poorly planned, greedy, Junkanoo Beach style, shanty town, bad development practice.
They are correct to fear. Take notice that when fed softball questions in interviews, they always speak in millions and annualized numbers, but their discussion around Pirate Island is always daily totals.
This is deliberate, because the two are never to be reconciled by design. They know that a percentage of their customers never come off the ship in Nassau. They know the daily total of persons who do come off the ship is around 3000-4000.
Guess how many persons they recently bumped up Pirate Island to accommodate? That's correct, a little over 3000 per day, 21,000 per week, 1.1million per year.
While the Porte continues to gobble up the entertainment space. These two will soon be locked in massive competition to capture all downtown tourist traffic. This all designed thanks to your Tourism Minister as an example of "*the new Tourism Model*". Tanks
He is not interested in the life of any Bahamian but himself. How do we know? Look at his employees and look at the Bahamas since the 16 years that Perry Christie gave him a moratorium to take in millions and millions. What did he do? He made himself richer, gobbled up industries, construction, land, rental markets, digital marketplace and now electronic cars. He wants to open a bank. He has shown every Bahamian very clearly what he will do with even more power
It's all about the money. The financial world is no longer lauding millionaires, they're essentially the rich lower class. The financial world is is talking about the top billionaires and the first trillionaire
A parade on Gladstone road without the dumb rules, absent of boring scrap groups and resembling a semi-dressed practice would likely be much more fun to experience
Junkanoo will not change until a white foreign man "*buys*" it and turns it into a huge money making affair as Bahamians watch and say "*look how dey take our tings eh?*" and a black high ranking politician with white teeth smiles from air to air as he shakee the man's hand and speaks of "*multimillion dollar investments in the economy*" ... that of course quietly benefits him... maybe selling off bay st. Cuz we een beyond prostituting nuttin
As a wise man once said and a wise commenter repeated a few months ago, "*Meet the new boss same as the old boss*". Apparently we can get fooled again.
I predict on Boxing Day Morning regret at "*gaps, bored spectators, too long parade, shoddy costumes*" and the age old favourite, "*Dey rob us*"
"*First of all, the decision to give y'all some money came from me, from my heart. I understood that y'all need that. It was nothing negotiated, I’m trying to help all of you, y'all will be paid and the payment will be before Christmas. You will be paid before Christmas.”*"
