So Bahamians can't cook? Why the Chinese cook? Surely Bahamians can make rice. It would take a few tries to skin a cat without getting fur in the sauce, but I'm sure that we could learn it.
Well, if the PLP didn't go about destroying jobs, then perhaps students could repay their loans. I feel sorry for all of the employable students with COB degrees and no work.
So I watched all of the video on social media, and I saw a senior police officer, dressed in khaki, actually kick a protester after pushing her away so that a taxi could get by. To me, that is assault, and that police officer should be charged. He was just real eager to manhandle the protesters.
Something is rotten in Denmark with NAD. There are numerous references to it being a Bahamian company yet when I do a business lookup, it says that it is privately held. All of the upper management-- with the notable exception of Vernice, are Vantage -- Canadian -- and it says that it is a self-sustaining commercial entity not receiving any government subsidies. The management cited on the LPIA website are in fact directors of the government airport authority and not NAD.
The company got hundreds of millions in financing, and I don't see how a management company with a 10 year contract would every get a payback out of a 10 year management contract ... but the funny part is that they own a piece of the company that gave them the contract? Something is not right.
The poor get the shaft every time, and there is no one to advocate for them. It is a proven fact that the poor are arrested more often, spend more time in prison, and constitute a higher percentage of the prison population.
Often times the poor are invisible. You can drive by a dilapidated house that deserves to be condemned and the chirren coming out dressed for school are spotless and immaculately dressed, and you would never suspect that they live in a hovel.
The only way to decrease the numbers of poor is education and economic diversification. Service jobs should not be the only obtainable employment in the Bahamas.
You just know that the youth aspires to something better. I was going through the airport on business in Nassau, and a young man - a security screener was going through my briefcase. He saw the iPad, the leather portfolio, the smartphone, the business card case and he asked me what I did. I told him that I was a banker. He wrote his name and number on a slip of paper, and handed it to me telling me that if I was hiring, he wanted a job. This was from a young man with a secure job -- but he wanted something better than going through people's luggage.
It is no wonder that young men turn to crime. There is no other way of achieving the money for natural wants, desires, and lifestyles available to everyone else except ordinary Bahamians.
