You clearly missed the point about the dangers of medications/drugs being dispensed by some pharmacies without the required prescription of a medical doctor.

ditto that

And to think Davis knows full well that previous PLP governments are mostly to blame for the all of the waste, fraud and corruption that has financially crippled bpl/bec.

We all know Davis would tell the electorate his mother was a Japanese Geisha Girl and his father a Great Norwegian Viking if he thought it would help him one day become PM. Fat chance of that ever happening though.

It seems there's nothing this loud-mouthed, wretched and most despicable nepotist and vixen will not try politicize for the benefit of the PLP, including unclaimed and/or unidentified corpses.

The people of Englerston are worse off than they have ever been but nevertheless seem content to continue voting for Hanna-Martin as long as she's willing to attend their weddings, baptisms and funerals, and throw the rare morsel or two their way come general election time. Truly a sad state of affairs for the impoverished people of Englerston whom she has, much to her credit, successfully managed to brainwash over decades.

Rodgers is just too darn long winded in stating what has been known for decades now.

Corrupt goverments don't like voters who can think for themselves so they make it a point to dumb down successive generations of students by literally starving the public education system. The private sector has little use for dumbed down, illiterate and non-productive employees (voters) so they are left to be hired by the corrupt government of the day in exchange for their political loyalty. This worked well for the first 25 years of the PLP, but the civil workforce then became much too bloated, unmanageable and costly for governments to control and manipulate as Pindling had done. As a result we now find ourselves with alternating corrupt FNM and PLP governments every five years. The 5-year revolving door of corrupt PLP and FNM governments has become a self-reinforcing cycle for the decline of our nation, as the select few corrupt politicians who govern us, and their favoured politically-connected cronies, go about taking their turns unjustly enriching themselves by raping, pillaging and plundering the vast majority of Bahamians, including gourging on the sale of our most valuable national assets to foreign interests. Rodgers is essentially saying the same thing, but not as bluntly and concisely.

Investors in the proposed Rate Increase Bonds fully deserve the losses that are going to come their way just as surely as day follows night. The decades of waste, fraud and corruption at BPL will continue as long as it remains owned by one corrupt government after another, whether PLP or FNM. The proceeds from the issue of the Rate Reduction Bonds would all too quickly be frittered away by the current corrupt Minnis-led FNM government, especially if the likes of Bannister, Moxey, Heastie and Maynard remain in any way involved with BPL. That's the harsh reality the credit rating agencies must accept, and the reason why the Rate Increase Bonds will carry outrageously high interest rates that cannot possibly be sustained (serviced) by BPL's dwindling customer base. Continuing business failures and rising unemployment in our country is attributable the corrupt Minnis-led FNM government's creation of the worst economic environment our country has ever experienced, even well before the impact of Dorian back on Sept. 1, 2019.

And by the way, the average young person is unlikely to even be a 'true' Bahamian today.

The founders of Cavalier, Godfrey Lightbourn and Eugene Pyfrom, were well known for playing quid pro quo with Poodling and his PLP boys in order to get lucrative large scale construction contracts. Those were the days when most government corruption took the form of kickbacks from willing construction companies involved in major projects. It's how the Mosko family and others like them got filthy wealthy. Our corrupt governments (PLP and FNM alike) have since found new and easier ways of bilking the public purse ( as funded by taxpayers and national debt) out of mega millions of dollars annually. Just look at BOB for instance.

I take it you're one of the very few who believes the corrupt Minnis-led FNM government has created a better business environment for local non-politically connected private sector enterprises since May 2017.

Have you recently tried to have a sensible conversation with an illiterate grade F - educated young person from a broken home? Sadly they now constitute most of the young people in our country today. As a society we are reaping today what corrupt governments (PLP and FNM alike) have been sowing for us since the late 1960s. Good luck having those sensible conversations with the average young Bahamian.
