Took me over 7 months to get a new business license and bank account open. The government is in you way every step of the way to stop you from getting into business. Another business I have been working on for 11 months and still no license jumping through hoops, one piece of paper after the next, come back tomorrow, same old BS.. It is insane it is as if the government does not want people in business. No one knows how you get your bank account open to borrow money for a new business before you have a business license. This nonsense could be ended tomorrow if the PM or DPM want to stop it but government is to addicted to its paperwork, red tape, and creating more paperwork to giver more people a government job and a piece of paper to stamp.

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.

According to them this is the most dire threat we have ever faced as a country, we have basically destroyed our economy based on these figures and these people can't even count to just over 1000 correctly? Who is responsible for this and will take the consequences? Seven, seven hundred thousand, seven seven million, seven seven hundred million thousand and it goes on and on.

Do worry we are still paying them. Covid 19 is the best thing ever happened for the government workers. They get to do less than they even normally do, sit home, and guess what you and me get to pay them!

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"
