Oh what it must be like to take other peoples money and give it to other people to sit home and not work. Private citizens who drive the economy, who have no job, no income, have to pay with what they do not have to the mostly useless public service and corporations who are sitting home collecting a paycheck with no fear of getting laid off for votes next election. The worst part is when the economy does try to get back up and running Mr. Civil servant will be there with his hand out and their useless forms & paperwork all while saying no, blocking, harassing, over regulating, and trying their damndest to stop the private people from getting the economy going.

Starting to reap the rewards of the large gatherings outside of the stores? Maybe Monday morning we should announce a 1 week lock down starting at 6pm with no grocery store or gas stations to be open and see how many people we can cram into the store parking lots to really up the infection rates.

Go March for something to be done about the d average in this country. People made more noise over a Christmas tree and this statue than they do for the things really damaging this country.

How about we get rid of government's local investor xenophobia while we are at it. The government does more to stifle this countries growth than anything else. Covid and hurricanes like Dorian are a joke compared to the economic and GDP damage done by the civil serive of this country

I agree. It is shameful if a person through DNA can prove Bahamian parenthood that they should be denied their rights to this country.

Part of my comments were sarcastic but, you think we can continue to create more government just to pretend that we are employing these people who do little to nothing but, only get in the way and demoralize the people who actually work and create an extremely inefficient bloated civil service? We almost have UBI now. I am not a fan of UBI but, we are subsidizing these people anyway under the guise of a "government job"

There are some hard working, smart, civil servants out there. About 10% who actually do work. The other 90% have been given a job just because, for votes, political connections etc. We would be better off if the Bahamas did a Universal Basic Income and got all of these people who really do no work out of the government offices and let them sit at home. Let the 10% who do try and give a damn work more efficiently. They would get more done without the others there sucking up oxygen working harder to not work than if they just did their job, The government would probably even save money. Less desks, less office spaces, less computers, less overhead all around, less theft of office suppliers, toilet paper etc. More efficient government services and less need to pay extra for services (bribe), would help the overall economy. Stop creating more government just to employ people just pay them to sit home!

Amazing how NIB gives itself a pat on the back for paying people back their own money that was collected out of their prior paychecks under a mandatory salary deduction. Koodos to you.

The printer for the cards done broke down.

Might as well say Nassau is the Bahamas and the other islands are its colonial possessions to leach off of and treat however it wants. It is time the Bahamas adopted some kinda of state or provincial system like the US or Canada. Everyone you speak too that lives on any other the other islands feel grossly ignored.
