Galanis was fired from EY for financial irregularities and EY had to pay $3 million to make criminal charges against the firm go away. How is this guy even licenced still?

The application is friggin hilarious. It is a Mickey Mouse application done in javascript with templates that you can download. The company Crimson Logic charged an arm and a leg for minimal work. Any grade 9 student could have done it. Want proof? Go to the portal window and right click and click on view page source. You will see shiite like this from the template:

*Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.*

This shiite, paragraphs of it, is just left there and not displayed.
These lines are actually copied from the source code of The Bahamas government website making us look stupid and foolish and amateurish. It is kiddie scripting. You can see a lot more of it. It is outrageous. Crimson Logic couldn't even be bothered to clean up the code. This has been copied directly from a typesetting/printing template.

If the government had a CIO to make sure that they got value for money, this would never pass. Any Bahamian high school student who knows HTML could have made this by downloading the template.

Once again, the idiots in government who bought this, misspent taxpayers money.

When is the government gonna smarten up, and actually hire someone who knows IT? They can see the rubes in government coming a mile away, and they pick their pockets and give them crap. They charge software engineering fees for stupid website code off the internet.

Unreal. I'm a banker and I could do a better job. This really p!sses me off.

I agree with the lack of commercial truck inspection. I saw semi pulling a trailer with a container on it on East Bay Street. The licence plate on the trailer was from Georgia and it expired 8 year ago. The wheels were wobbly under the load and the unit pulling the trailer was spewing black smoke and looked like it hadn't been serviced in years.

I say it is time for a CBD industry in the Bahamas to help the economy.

Lordy, lordy. The wild parties are still famous at Nygard Cay.

So my Auntie tells me an interesting story about Simeon Hall. He is the pastor of a church, and one day he shows up dressed in full regalia of a bishop. Auntie says that when he stood in front of the congregation, it was like he was wearing a Halloween costume as a bishop. It was that garish. He announced to one and all, that he was now elevated to bishop. The problem was that his official brand of religion did not have the position of bishop in its officers line-up. He just made it up hisseff.

Or you could do some real nation-building and disband the unions.

Totally concur with the education bit. Human capital can command the highest economic value if it is educated.

However, at this juncture, we could use a thousand warehouse jobs, just to lift the systemic unemployment out of the doldrums, and employ the level of human capital that we have.

We've been duped again. Allscripts paid $145 million dollar fine by one of their subsidiaries for a kickbacks scheme and certification irregularities. A review of their software shows that it is old software written for much earlier versions of windows. It has been described as clunky and not very useful, and in consumer reviews has more one-star than five-star ratings. The system is not worth $18 million. Once again, we need tech oversight in the government by a CIO or Chief Information Officer in the government. We keep getting ripped off with systems that are old, dysfunctional, do not talk to each other, and purchased by who-you-know and pay-to-play.

> No country needs additional labour.

This is really true. It is due to technology and globalization. It you do not have a cadre of knowledge workers, you are sunk. Robots, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are taking away labour jobs.
