I don't believe that the Bahamas will ever make ease of doing business a priority. Too many civil service jobs depend on being inefficient and it would cost them votes.
Y'all know that mobile banking is the most unsecure form of banking that there is -- right? A professional hacker with the right equipment, within range of your phone, can clean your account out in minutes. The "right equipment" can fit into a small backpack, computer bag or shopping bag. Or it can be a laptop computer at a coffee shop.
Do you know what happened? I got a job off-island. My eyes were opened. Nassau is a dark place. I became accustomed to it. I became acclimatized to the slackness, the lies that the people would tell you straight to your face.
In my new job, in my new city, things work. People are nice. No black crab, even though I am black. Erryone try to help me. I call the phone company, and the tech comes at 8:00 AM next day to let me get to work for 9:00 AM. The government here works. The civil service works.
With my new perspective, I see what the city island state could be, if there were no PLP -- if we had honest politicians -- if niggeritis was erased -- if we had an enlightened politicians.
I saw hope in you when you criticised PGC at times, but I realise that east will never meet west because you still jab and make up shiite to soothe the cognitive dissonance of your PLP support.
Folks here ask me about Bahamian culture. I tell them how it was. I tell them the stories of the farm community of Moss Town where my mums family comes from. I tell them of Ronny Butler and Dry Bread. And speaking of bread, I tell them about toasted coconut bread with seagrape jelly. I tell them about rake 'n scrape and sky juice and all sort of tings. But that is all gone. We have the culture of a Miami parking lot.
So in my view, it is all gone. Unfixable. I am pissed off at how slow Minnis is. I dislike how PTurnquest is still spending like a drunken sailor. There are no kleptocrats in jail yet. I would like to see Jerome do the Bank Lane shuffle as well as Brave and Obie and the lot of them.
Yeah, I'm mad and bitter. It's gone and its unfixable.
He looks like a sad old man. I hope that he is suffering for his sins against the Bahamas. I see that he is still using shoe polish on his head. I think that he would enjoy a stint in Fox Hill, just for the company with benefits.
Actually no, Canada will not shut the floodgates. First and foremost, Haitian creole can be understood by the French-speaking Quebec Canadians. Secondly, Canada has an aging population (unlike the Bahamas) and they need new blood. Thirdly, the Prime Minister of Canada is pro-immigration. The first thing that happens to immigrants and refugees in Canada, is that they get enrolled in ESL or English as a Second Language classes. Canada's unemployment is the lowest in 9 years.
Immigration only works in diversified economies with a good education system. For all of its talk about a middle class, there really isn't one in the Bahamas, or at least a very small one. You are either working class or not working.
The bottom line is that a government must be humanistic first and foremost. It must take care of it lowest citizens. It must properly educate its young. It must ensure a robust economy for its workers, and it must provide for old age pensioners. Any government that doesn't do that is a failed state. We are a failed state. Unfortunately for us, Haiti is further down the road as a failed state, and we look like a nirvana to them. To a person who is hungry, somebody with a loaf of bread is beyond rich.
Again another unfixable problem plaguing the Bahamas. Acting like un-altruistic sub-humans een gern fix annyting.
I see that the Haitians who overran the country and have been running it since Independence have done a damn fine job of governance. That is why we are an elite nation of nations. That is why the streets are paved with gold, and erryboddy happy. That is why it is the land of milk and honey. Problems ??? What problems? Erryone rich. Those hyshuns who took over the country and mutilated our culture have made The Bahamas a nirvana. No crime. A chicken in every pot. Now if those crupt Bahamians had been running the country, it would be a different story.
Quebec Canada. There are over half a million Haitian immigrants in Quebec, up from 115,000 in 2011. They are thriving and not on the Canadian social security dole.

WTF is the Christian Council doing there? Hasn't Minnis ever heard of separation of church and state? SMT.
