It's always the same BS argument from the proponents of marijuana legalization. They simply point to other harmful ingested products, e.g. alcohol, tobacco, etc., as the basis for allowing the infliction on our ailing society of yet another most harmful product. As if we don't already have enough people living among us who can't think straight and behave as if they are brain-dead. There's loads of medical research evidencing that the genetically modified strains of marijuana grown today essentially fry the mind forever with no cure. Just look at what highly concentrated genetically engineered THC in large doses is known to do to lab animals. One would be better off as a snorting cocaine addict. This is all about money for a greedy government and the select favoured few in our society who undoubtedly will be smart enough never to ingest the stuff themselves or permit their children to do so.

The 'Making Progress Video' simply confirms that the very corrupt Tweedle-Dumb Minnis is now almost totally detached from reality.....and we all know what that means for the FNM party and his future in active politics. The Snake is but one of many looking forward to biting Minnis after the next general election. LMAO

These Rate 'Increase' Bonds are nothing but a massive fraud perpetrated by the corrupt Minnis-led FNM government on the Bahamian people. Just think about it for a moment. All of the reasons why BPL/BEC could not generate the cash flows needed to sustain its operations over the long term remain the same and include among many other things:

1) Incompetent board directors and equally incompetent executive management team;

2) An insufficient number of adequately trained engineers, technicians and field personnel;

3) Pervasive corruption instigated by corrupt union leaders and union members, e.g. Paul Maynard's gestapo squad of saboteurs;

4) Political interference by the PM and the Minister of Works in significant contractual arrangements, often involving the unjust enrichment of politically connected cronies, e.g. rental of generators, buying of new vehicles, etc., etc;

5) Political interference in issuing 'do-not-disconnect' orders for politically connected cronies, especially financial supporters of the FNM party;

6) Outrageously generous defined benefit retirement and bonus plans for management personnel and workers;

7) And so on, and so on.

And now we have the Rate 'Increase' Bonds added to this all too obvious gloom and doom mix of foolishness which will result in not only soaring electricity costs for all consumers but no doubt many business failures with rapidly escalating unemployment. The rate increase bond holders have been promised that the rates we will be charged for electricity will always be high enough to ensure the interest and principal amounts due on the bonds get repaid. This means URCA will have no say when the electricity rates charged are much too high for the vast majority of consumers to afford.

And once the rate increase bonds are issued with the approval of the corrupt Minnis-led FNM government, we will quickly see Tweedle-Dumb Minnis, Tweedle-Dee Turnquest and that incompetent bozo Desmond Bannister all genuflecting to the wishes of the bond holders and seeking to blaming them (rather than themselves) for all of our misery with unaffordable electricity bills. And just think, the majority of the bonds could end up being held (owned) by another government, like Red China, without any regard to the national security issues that would arise from a foreign government effectively having control over the pricing of electrical power for all consumers in our country. Yes indeed, Minnis has lost all his marbles, not that he ever had many to lose to begin with.

If there's only one thing Brilanders know for sure, it's that Desmond Bannister is corrupt to the core and is going to jam down their throats whatever benefits himself and his cronies.

Translation: The very corrupt Snake ain't spending enough of his ill-gotten riches. LMAO

ditto that

LMAO

Spot on!

Someone please tell Felicity Darville that our corrupt Tweedle-Dumb Minnis-led FNM government has tied both our hands behind our back and thrown us over board.

Bahamians of yore were inclined to be happy go lucky in their cultural endeavours and always looking to have a fun time. Today's much more 'mixed' Bahamians prefer being part of a tribal warring faction in all that they do, with no trust in anyone (including Junkanoo judges) and no good sportsmanship-like conduct in defeat.

The ever increasing level of violence that has accompanied our significant illegal alien population growth portends annual Junkanoo events eventually breaking out in all out warfare, perhaps even machete fights instigated by the losers against the winners and judges upon the winners being announced. My oh my.....the road we are on is indeed a most frightening one.
