This is Christie's great election ploy (or as the Chinese say -erection)-- selling to Chow Fook You Tu and then saying it will be open soon and claiming to be the rescuer of the Bahamas. This is all a charade. It is a Potemkin Village. The Chinese construction company will screw up again, not finish, make shoddy work, and the Baha Mar saga will play out in many new twists and turns, and none of them benefiting the Bahamas.
Moi -- I predict a Lebanese bankruptcy in the future. One day, the whole thing will become engulfed in flames, and for many years, it will be a parking lot, just like the horse race track was.
Bran Flakes: I know that you grease your hair to catch everything whizzing over your head and you plug your ears when you speak to stop the wind-tunnel effect, but I feel that I must correct you factually. When speechifying, you must know what you are talking about, otherwise people will call you Siamese Twins when you hold a balloon. But I fear it is too late already. In spite of being late to the brains party, I must inform you that Chris Austin Hadfield is NOT an American astronaut. The hero of that massive David Bowie-like performance of Space Oddity aboard the International Space Station, is in fact, a maple syrup-eating canadian -- not American as you seem to think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9da…
However, I must commend you though, on getting it right about Loretta Butt-hurt Turnover. She is a clueless leader. You two made such a lovely couple. So similar. What happened? Wouldn't she let you get on top? She wanted to be the top dog? We all know what they call a female dog, but your manhood couldn't take it?
Good Luck in the election. BTW your economic advisor has great collection of p...... oh never mind.
You are absolutely right. Religious leaders have no moral authority to question anybody because they are human themselves. They are sinners. So why do they stand in front of people and pretend to be reciting the dictates of God? Let the sinners be. We are all sinners.
Very statesman-like from both Fweddy and Crisco Butt. Maybe this is the Trump effect. Next thing that you know, is that there will be a spate of genital-grabbing (I don't mean the ones already that happen in the cabinet room -- I mean with the public.).
I bet you that Crisco Butt and Fweddy have tee shirts that say "F**king Classy!".
Interesting reaction from him. If there was nothing to it, he would have laughed. Instead he really emotionally invested into denying the statement. Where there is smoke, there is fire.
The Prime Minister is delusional. He is as bad as Donald Trump and say any lie without even stopping to acknowledge that it is a lie. He and his colleagues have such skewed moral compasses, that to them, the truth is some theoretical thing that has no bearing on the feces that comes out of their mouths.
OK, so we have had a soft tourism start for 2017, and the political lackeys at the Central Bank say that Baha Mar is going to save us? How can an unopened hotel with no advertising and a soft opening create an uptick in tourism, when it is "soft" for established players like Atlantis and the One & Only Ocean Club?
This guy is dreaming in technicolor. For the ICT space to flourish, one must have the following:
1) a reliable, cheap supply of power - to power servers, air conditioning, routers, storage area networks and such. It has to be cheap, plentiful and have superior reliability
2) One must have access to investment capital. ICT grows by SME (small and medium business enterprises). With a non-convertible currency and harsh customs and duties, ICT is a no go.
3) One must have a cadre of trained knowledge workers. The illiterate high school graduates do not have the basic numeric literacy to even begin to teach them ICT. Also we do not focus on STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Math). Put simple, we do not have the human capital for it.
4) And since we do not have the human capital, the government and its archaic work permit laws, hamstring the importation of human capital with a $10,000 work permit that takes 4 months or more to approve -- unlike the Cayman Islands which is legally mandated to be approved in 10 days.
Sorry, we are living in the stone age of ICT and nothing can change it quickly.
