One thing about it in the states they only get 8 years at the most, and we move on to someone else.

Obama Care, Trumpland, is this the new era of referring to our presidents.

I know why your still there. Everything put aside, It's a wonderful beautiful place. It's history and cultural is worth saving and the Bahamian citizens are kind, hardworking, family loving people. I came to the Bahamas for the first time in the late 70's and it's one of the best memories of my life. The people I met from young to old I've never forgotten, and one that I think about every single day. It is a shame that the politicians have robbed it blind and gave the people very little chance of prosperous life. Then the fact that these people are still there shows their strength and values. The Bahamas will always be a part of my life and one day I hope to get to stay permanently.

Doctors start with 30K, are you kidding. Doctor's in the US make 6 figures and up. School teachers with 6 years of college or their masters make 60K and up. Principals of the schools make digits. I don't understand the difference in pay, and the cost of living is higher in the Bahamas. We don't pay 6 bucks for a gallon of milk or bread. Our gasoline isn't 6 or 7 bucks a gallon, right now it's 2.34 a gallon. I know everything is imported, I understand the increase in costs, however they are paying minimum wages. How can you make ends meet. There's the reason for the crime. They have squashed all of hopes and dreams, by suppressing the population. It's also how they line their own pockets, and get away with it. I'll say it once again, the paper reported they misplaced the hurricane fund. Many Millions just misplaced. Huh let's see! Guess what these people still have their positions within your government. Our politicians are corrupt, but when caught (they are gone). i really don't understand, Take your Islands back and make them what they once were.

Yes Johnmcntsh you will. In the US nurses make around 40.00 per hour. My sister in law only works weekends and makes around 60,000 per year and that's two days per week. I would like to see other people with a degree work for minimum wages. That is the income of a full time McDonald's employee. Well actually they probably make more than that. Anyone that thinks that being a nurse isn't hard work, needs to rethink it. They have a important, stressful, hard demanding job. They have to take care of all of us when we are at our worse.

Bologna! We don't have a nurse shortage. They may come here for a better job. Better working conditions, wages, choices. I'm sure they could get a green card. From what I've seen in the news paper, I wouldn't want to get sick the Bahamas. I would fly into Florida. I'm sure there are good doctors and nurses in the Bahamas, but the facilities are lacking. Patients in the hall or rooms that look more lack a storage room. The air condition is poor condition or so I've read. The Florida nursing home that lost power in one of the last hurricanes lost about 15 patients, solely due to the heat.

baldbeardedbahamian Honest government official. lol Missing Hurricane Fund/really how do you misplace how many millions.

Well I agree with most of you. Although gun control scares me. My sister was put on lock down yesterday at a McDonald's with the other customers and employees for two hours while surrounded by swap teams looking for a man that had shot someone across the street at some apartments. It's anywhere at anytime. I'm agree with SP about our governments travel warnings are unfair.

The reason why Chicago is our murder capital is gun control. The same reason you can't walk down the street in NYC, Gun control isn't the answer.

If robbery was the reason for her murder, she would of probably gave it to them. If I was going to be robbed you don't have to kill me. Just take her purse and jewelry and go. There is all kinds of ways to keep her from being able to pick you out in a line up. She might not even try out of fear. Respect for human life has been loss. Why!
