I have a list of 4-5 businesses that could employ 3000-5000 people immediately (even with their level of education and illiteracy), and I would sign LOIs and MOUs and bring those to the Bahamas.

I further have a list of 2-3 businesses that could be commenced right now that would bring in more money than all of the financial services industry combined.

These opportunities are just waiting to be plucked, we could take the business from countries like China in the Philippines and start them with minimal investment.

Instead of the wasted money on poorly thought out BAMSI, I would create an overnight orchid and flower industry that would generate millions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmJkzj4… and offset the food imports with that revenue.

I would shut down "financial services" and transition those into merchant banking for global enterprises.

I would replicate what Cayman Enterprise City has done, and create an economic zone where anyone can come and start a business to employ Bahamians.

Finally I would round up anyone who has ever been a corrupt parliamentarian or public official, and prosecute them, and strip them of their assets and ill-gotten gains. I would start with the Pindlings and work my way down.

And on the second day, I would rest.

Obviously the PLP are not afraid of Jesus Christ or they would behave differently.

Need a real good smiting this Christmas.

Has Jones paid their BEC bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars yet?

You forgot thieves, fornicators and murderers.

Why would anyone want to share a unique experience like Cuba with a country that now looks like a Dade County parking lot -- except that the cars are in better repair in Florida?

Thank God Leslie Miller was stopped from signing us up for Petro Caribe. He was adamant on doing it.

If it weren't for the webshops, many Bahamians wouldn't have any hope at all. They play their last dollar in the hope that their numbers come in. God is getting tired of prayers for a webshop win.

One would have to be crazy to accept further American dollar debt from the government and/or BahamasAir. The very fact that it took a year to get responses should tell you something. In banking circles, if the debt is a good deal for the bank, they would be lining up to lend them money. This one -- not so much. Many of the deals have super exorbitant interest rates for the government to pay, which is why many RFP respondents cannot resist lending money to essentially, a bankrupt, cashless entity.

The middle class is disappearing and many people turn to credit as a means to survive, without knowing how they will get out of the credit hole.

Or it could be someone who wants to have a Christmas but cannot afford a tree, or the insane spending that Bahamians do a Christmas.
