zns is pathetic and should be closed. forget selling it because no one in their mind would consider buying it. look at the quality of the staff, look at the accumulated pension obligation and you must see this only a viable entity if subsidized by government to the tune of many millions of dollars every year. the amount increasing as more staff retire. long wave broadcasting of zns 1 is another joke. totally outdated technology which is impossible to peplace as it is no longer manufactured. i have to wonder if these people have even heard of dab (digital audio broadcasting) which is now the standard in all modern countries?
governments do not create wealth. this what the plp leaders have never understood. because the government controlled the money supply through printing and minting currency they thought they could make money out of thin air. it does not work like that, only private businesses create wealth through adding value through production. raw materials plus labour produces something with more value than its constituents. this is how wealth is created in an economy. yhe government then taxes the businesses and the products and uses this money for education and, until recently, to fly fweddy and friends on paid junkets round the world. it also uses the money to pay the salaries and pensions of thousands of fiscal parasites called civil servants . the government will never correct our failing economy until it gets rid of most of these parasites. we need to keep some of course, educators, police, medical staff. but please close the useless corrupt zns, the useless defence force, the bankrupt BOB, bahamasair, ministry of tourism, BAMSI, etc.
it is time cut the amount the country pays out every month in pension funds to past pm's who have served two terms. credibilty gap does not derve anything in my opinion.
