So I was with you right up until the thoughtless comment about Bethel's age...It is ridiculous to suggest that someone should not get, or retain, a job because they are "too old"...that is as silly an assertion as saying that someone shouldn't get the job because of their gender. If your larger point is you feel that Bethel is incompetent, then that's fair game and should be legitimately reviewed, but don't suggest that because of his age he is not qualified to fill the position...utter nonsense! We have plenty young screw-ups and incompetent individuals in government right not (Pintard, Wells, Rollins,Moss,Halkitis,Smith...)
While I don't disagree with the totality of your point, comparing Cuba's current government and financial structure to The Bahamas is an apples and orange comparison.
Yes, Cuba approved the construction of 30 new hotels, however, to use the verb "negotiate" is specious, at best. Negotiation implied a mutual assent between two more parties. Cuba still is, and in the future will be, a Communist/Socialist regime. The fact is, their negotiation simply boils down to the Government telling the contractors what to do. There is no argument about wages, the Government dictates that; there are no unions to deal (unlike the Bahamas); and no Senate and Parliament hearings to determine who gets what contracts;...all things that retard the process here in The Bahamas. So, yes, it would be easier for the approval of a construction when compared to us...So I think we do have to put some perspective here.
However, to your larger and more salient point, yes, for decades we have allowed ourselves to be managed by self serving individuals who only care about themselves. That is the issue that we voters have to deal with on election day. Who do we think will serve our interest better? Frankly, I don't have faith in either party (with apologies to all, the DNA is not even in the discussion).
