Now every Bahamian loves free money, …… . . …
Will swarm to that like bees to honey, . . . . .. .
Available soon is four hundred grand, . . . . . …
Will anyone in Exuma not put out their hand? . . . …
We need a fyre fiasco at least once a year. . . . ….
Arranged by an egotistical entrepreneur, .. . . . . ….
And when it goes wrong and it ends belly up, . . . . …
And the elected state officials have all got their cut, . . . ..
Then a Go Fund Me site can pay off the rest, . . .. . . …
And leave us to believe "it was all for the best".

hey mamayoma, before you go pointing out other peoples motes in the eye, tell us how you know that hundreds of millions of dollars are uncollected from foreign property owners? Your assertion just plain ignorant as you cannot transfer a property title, i.e. sell, without all property taxes having been paid, If a foreigner owning property in this country does not pay his taxes then eventually that property will be claimed by the government in lieu of unpaid tax. And if you think the clearing house banks are raking in profits with the 30% delinquency on mortgages then tell me why most all the Canadian banks are scaling back operations instead of expanding. Perhaps you are referring to the Bank of the Bahamas though. Sigh. Another D- poster child.

No employer would willingly employ a 35 year old mother with 6 children. Typically Bahamothers need 1 day off every 2 months to attend baby-daddy court per child, plus 2 days off per month per child to take a sick child to the clinic or look after him or her at home, so let's see, 20 working days per month, less vacation and bank holidays -3, = 17 days, less the days for children, 6 x 3 = -18days. Grand total result, the employer can expect 3 days actual work each month. And don't dare cut that mother's pay or you going to spend plenty time at the labour board. The Labour Ward leads inevitably too the Labour Board.

These state employed workers are a disgruntled lot, . . . .
They say working conditions are all kerpunckled up. . . . .
Of course roaches only go where food is left around, . . . ..
And rats cannot resist leftovers discarded on the ground, . . . .
And why if them at the post office only had to work two days, . . . . .
And those workers at the PMH, they all were given raise, . . . .. .
Do they seriously expect we to clean up our own mess, . . ..
We gonna work a little slower, we gonna do a little less, . . . ..
If you working for the government dem, you ain't supposed to work too hard, . ..
Just put in the minimum hours until you get that pension card, . . . ..
Then you live that life dead easy while others do the work, . . . ..
Don't bother we wit tings to do we only good to shirk.
When we cannot serve our customers it really not our fault, . . ..
We just a smallish part of the Bahamian gestalt.

The Fyre Island rapper that calls himself Jah Rule, . . . .
Claims McFarland stood him up and used him, showed him up a fool, . .
Promoting the private island festival Big up as big can be, . . .
Was he doing that for money or doing it for for free? . . . .
Much More than five grand spent to sleep in a wet tent, . . . . .. .Is eating cold cheese sandwich a usual gourmet event? . ''
A million dollar bribe to some minister of finance? . . . . ..
Seems a whole lot of money for a 3 day Exuma beach dance. . . .
And then there was Andy, willing to take one for the team, . . . .
Willing to duck a stick fulfilling Billy's dream. . . . . .. .
And now Billy's doing porridge, a six year stretch or more. . . ..
And piles of empty plastic bottles litter that Great Exuma's shore.

The plp treasurer for decades was a man who made his money from the then illegal numbers racket. the plp and the owners of the so called web shops have been in bed together for longer than most Bahamians been living. National lottery will benefit the people not the few elite as long as corrupt people don't get to run it.
