The sense of entitlement in this country. Probably no insurance company would insure these structures. You build on government land. You profit personally,and who knows if you pay any rent or business license. Yet I would be surprised if DIR ever sent anyone over there,armed or not,to check if you are compliant.And now you are basically demanding that taxpayers fund your business so you can keep profiting personally.
And then people complain about the dishonest politicians in our country. If ordinary people openly steal and have no problem with it,why do we expect politicians to be any different? Bahamian politicians are elected Bahamian,so people get what they deserve. As for the local administratior and the religious leader are shining examples of the morality of the Bahamas
Taxis have become so expensive in this country. And God forbid you make the mistake of getting into a cab here before agreeing on the price before. Most likely they will try to charge you an arm and a leg. Let entities like Uber or something similar operate in the country. Not only the costs will be going down,but some Bahamians could benefit from having an extra income. I suppose successive governments are intimidated by the taxi drivers union.
You know what else keeps the tourists away? Filthy establishments,rude staff,loud and drunk patrons,foul language and the occasional physical fights, accompanied by throwing of bottles of course.Get your act together and then complain
Doc will say anything just so his name appears on the papers. Many local eateries in Nassau and the family islands have much to be desired regarding health protocols, sometimes I wonder if health department ever bothered to visit them. Even if they pass the health tests,many of them still serve junk food. So if Doc was really concerned why he doesn't suggest to ban all fast food joints all over the country. Give it a rest Doc, politically you are done.
No sir, the electricity bills have increased more than last year and even the higher consumption in the summer does not justify this. You can try to spin it as much as you want the numbers are there. So try something different please, because you are not convincing anyone.
@Sickened, Exactly. It looks like nobody cares that a human being has been hit and left helpless on the street. Important issues in our country today are what "numbers" came,the new Junkanoo bill as well as the split of the Valley Boys. Should we also expect the police to distribute "pamphlets" that advise motorists to drive carefully?
Not the first time we hear about missing medical records from PMH. And yet, for some reason, nobody is ever held accountable. Nobody administrators, employees,nurses, doctors has ever been reprimanded for any wrongdoing. I suppose they are all doing such stellar jobs that no reprimand is necessary. On the contrary. Also not surprised that no local doctor would testify against each other. That's a "private club".
Finally justice. I happen to know of 2 separate cases of alleged medical negligence, one involving an obstetrician and the other a pediatrician. The cases did not go to court since the parents of the babies couldn't afford a prolonged legal battle. On the other hand the doctors are very comfortable with their millions. There are also instances that medical records and notes can't be found, for whatever reason. All the best to the parents and please do your best to ensure the judgement is being enforced
