I can see a scenario where this purchase was not his decision, **but** if you're around your leader long enough, you'll know exactly what they'll support, and his followers clearly thought he'd have no issue spending wildly. **There are plenty nice cars out there under 100k. The PM license plate, armour plating. Bullet proof glass, sirens etc can be added to any of them**

Repost:

The problem is context. Are they still going forward with a new parliament building because they need a comfortable workspace that they're always away from with constant adjounments? Is the elevator cost still at 2.5million dollars for a 3floor building? Anybody explained yet why a trip to Gtand Bahama costs 100,000 dollars. Half a million dollars to take who knows what to Botswana for nothingness. A trip to see the pope. A 25million dollar contract to JDL AND an increase of air freight fees. For what? Are they still shaking down the kiddie carnival operator? 200,000 for a luxury car? I see plenty beautiful electric cars on the road and they dont cost 200,000 dollars. Prince William and Kate drove a 60,000-80,000 electric SUV when they visited. What most people miss is the appeal of the royal vehicle isnt the price tag, its the exclusive license plate. Any car can be turned into a secure vehicle and most modern cars have sophisticated technology built in. but this seems to be a thorn of most black leaders, only the most expensive for me!

That's the problem. Their seeming willingness and glee to heap more and more fees/taxes whatever they call it on Bahamians while they pamper themselves using the money theyve beat and flogged out of our hands

I for one am not super happy and impressed to see my leader showered in wealth and showing off to other leaders. I'm more impressed by their demonstration of their ability to think strategize lead and be financially and ethically responsible. Take your helicopter landing at the stadium somewhere else to impress someone

I think the govt is right on the track with move toward insurance for commercial vessels. The problem is context.

I wish we could see into the minds of the people across the table when they propose the win and nothing proposals to us. I'm betting it would be a giant ROTFL emoji all up in their brain. Especially the Chinese.
