So why are people doing any banking business with Commonwealth Bank? They LOVE to be punished? "Look Ma, NO interest on my deposit balances, and HIGH interest rates on any loans!!"
Tipical of some Bahamians, always putting fellow Bahamians down. Rupert Roberts is a Bahamian businessman who HAS been successful due to many things, his no-nonsense approach, his business acumen, and his leadership. All he is sharing (IMHO) is the fact that things have gotten CRAZY, that people should NOT "panic buy" (which will cause him to LOSE money if they follow his advice,) and HOW he is coping with the continuing shortages of perishables that is being experienced, (such as ordering extra containers, trying to get "heads up" with customs to be able to clear the containers quickly when they arrive,) etc.. . Now all of this HELPS the Bahamian people, but right away there are Bahamians claming that the man is greedy, is NOT caring about the Bahamian public, etc.. etc... Tell you what... Let Super Value close down.... Then tell me how "great and wonderful" all of the remaing places selling groceries are.....
Amazing... We KNOW how many cases we COULD have in a "worse case senero!" And only 100 needing to go to the hospital... Phew.. We can all relax now. No need to start looking for resperators, medicines and other peventative measures. We should have enough staff and nurses to take care of everything.. Keep the tourist coming we "is ready!"
Sorry to say, but!! I don't think anything different will EVER happen until The Bahamas embraces alternative energy sources for our power... Only 3rd world countries are still chasing carbon based energy sources...
The problem is, that there is NO good time to close down the straw market without someone being offended. And there SHOULD be a law that the goods in the straw market be ONLY locally made. Would help local artisan a LOT and also leave the "imported" souvenirs to the souvenir and hotel gift stores, so ALL can benefit....

We would be "idiots in the FIRST degree" to agree to bring sick cruise ship passengers to our MUCH more limited health resources in The Bahamas...

If you believe that to be a fact with Mr. Roberts being "rich and greedy," simple, do NOT support any of his companies...
