Ignorant: Destitute of knowledge, either in general or with respect to a particular fact or subject; unknowing, uninformed, unlearned.

Your comment exposes hubris and ignorance. The Bahamas and Haiti are under the same system that suppresses Africa. Our failure to know is by design and indoctrination of the system.

"Oh! What A Tangled Web We Weave When First We Practice To Deceive"
Our govmin' dem stated that we will do our part of the 2030 agenda....

the government of the bahamas
intended nationally determined contribution (indc)
under the united nations framework convention on
climate change (unfccc)
Communicated to the unfccc November, 2015

From page 11 ...

The Bahamas has set a target of 30 percent emissions reductions, below 2010
levels by 2030. Efforts so far have been unsupported by the international
community.

Note the emissions reduction is 30% below our 2010 level (not 2020 level). Any potential power station buyer wants increasing power loads ie increasing emissions to maximize profits. Me thinks it is a dilemma that will bleed us.

@TalRussell - I take it that english is not your first language. Can you refer me to a dictionary to translate your pidgin. The potcake was one of the good ol' boys and obeyed them - I do not write from hearsay; he was an enforcer and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Miller was in position to make our lives better, but he chose to contribute to the situation the country finds itself in - karma is real. I have sounded the alarm for months that we are already failed and going down. If failure was a disease, then the Bahamas has it but the symptoms are not fully evident. We have fallen and no one is coming to save us. The officials and elites have their heads in the sand and are delusional.

He (an aged experienced politician) is really good at dissembling; hopefully his double talk and brown nosing 'da govmin dem' only give them a good laugh. That would be well deserved and fitting karma. What truly boggles me is that we are only at the beginning stages of our economic crisis and people's normalcy bias is so strong that they seem to think our situation is going to be magically eased soon. America is about to turn into something unrecognizable with strict travel restrictions - and only the Supreme Being knows when that will end.

It is too late and there is nothing to be done to fix this problem as it is a symptom of the evil present at the top. Once evil has taken over (established) it roots out any opposition to it; the evil is crafty enough to identify persons who would be a future threat and nip them in the bud. Do not mind them talking their gobbledygook and all of their double speak - evil is exactly what it is. In the laws below just substitute evil for stupid and you will realize our dire situation.

These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

*Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

*The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other
characteristic of that person.

*A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself (sometimes) deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

*Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

*A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Corollary: a stupid person is more dangerous than a pillager.

Reposts;

*The politicians elected by the Bahamian population reflect the composition of our population. The low intellect, hatred of excellence, hubris and avarice of the politicians reflect those same qualities of the general population.

ignorant: Destitute of knowledge, either in general or with respect to a particular fact or subject

naïve: lack of sophistication or worldliness - not knowing what's going on

stupid: slow of mind, unimaginative, obtuse, insensitive

trusting: If you trust someone, you believe that they are honest and sincere and will not deliberately do anything to harm you.

The Bahamas' economy is fubared and we are living on what is left of the fat that was put on. The system is rigged against us. Look at Haiti and the African countries; we are under the same system. We have produced persons who are selfish and uncaring traitors.

Grifters make a simple process seem very complex and confusing - it is an art.*

In essence, for 98% of us, the situation will be dire for many years to come. Even those who think that their substantial savings will save them are wrong, as the world currencies are forecast-ed to be depreciated as worldwide lockdowns escalate. We have sold ourselves, citizenship and our country; now we are about to reap the consequences of our ill thought out selfish actions.

This location is both beautiful and scary at the same time. Given that Abaco is in the 'Hurricane Alley' and is cursed/doomed anyway, then let the greedy sink their money in and reap the unpleasant but deserving fury of mother nature.
