Wow double the amount of PM;s we have had. Is this office suppose to rotate so much?

Why should a person on another Island be mandated to fly to Nassau for a class that the government is mandating? If it is not profitable for MVTS to offer classes on the family islands that is not those persons problem. The government if it wants to stick to its guns then needs to subsidize either MVTS to travel to those islands or subsidize the persons travel to Nassau for the class..

I wonder how much the government is paying as a % in credit card fees. It probably is less than the cash that goes missing but, I am curious as to what the bank is making off our taxes and fees being paid by CC.

This should not be a difficult task.

We need protection from the banks first. Basically all loan sharks these days and pushing cashless so they can make 3-5 percent every time you want to use your own money.

No Bahamian has the resources that RCL has (25.5 billion). So are we to reserve the entire Bahamas for outsiders with more money and resources? Bahamians need not apply you are not good enough! Thanks see ya bye bye. Well reserve you a job handing out towels.

bcitizen says...

Just bulldoze every building etc. in The Bahamas older than 50 years to the ground and rebuild them new. That should solve all our problems. Who needs any of this old stuff?

bcitizen says...

Like I said unless you are a fisherman. The other items you mention could be considered optional to many. Imagine if your car was now 700 dollars to register. I do agree though it is also to much for recreational users as well as that is the one past time most Bahamians use to escape and catch a break.

The Bahamas is a island nation and for many people who live on the smaller cays a small 20ft runabout is basically your car and main method of transportation to commute to a larger island. This is another one size fits all Nassau centric view that anyone who has a boat is loaded. It is not necessary to own a boat in Nassau unless your a fisherman. Seven hundred is too much for smaller boats when a basic car is about $200 a year?

Cashless society is dangerous on so many levels. Anyone who has been through a natural disaster like a hurricane etc. where the power is out, internet is out, cell phones not working know that for the days after and in some cases weeks or months that cash is king. Any kind of digital online banking does not work because it is not accessible. Cashless is so stupid and makes us so vulnerable for many reasons including personal freedom. Not to mention the banks make no money off a cash transaction and what 3-4 percent off of every cashless transaction? Is it any wonder the banks want this, where it costs them nothing and the computer does the work and they reap the rewards? It is almost like paying interest to buy something.
