Bahamians have been living high of the land for a very long time. We continue to hang our baskets beyond our reach. The drugs years exacerbated this even more. Successive governments did not see fiscal prudence as a popular policy and continued to borrow and spend. So the chickens have come back to roost. How do we get out of this situation? We cannot tax or borrow our way out of it. The average person don't understand our Debt to GDP ratio and is concern about how to get the *next Nike shoe or Remy hair piece*.**(No pun intended)** We are not teaching our children the value of money or fiscal responsibility. Do we know how many millions of dollars that leaves this country every year on automobiles from Japan. We are a nation or Car growers, I am convinced the average household have at least 3.5 cars and 2 are not working. The inner city is plague with derelict vehicles and that is so sad. The space can be used just to grow something to eat. The next government will have to be extremely discipline and tough decisions will have to be made. Honesty and transparency must be the norm in order to govern effectively. We as citizens must do our part even more for the sake of our country. Corrupt dealings must be wiped out completely. There are to many issues and the work starts on September 17 2021. **Please be safe as you cast your vote.**
I am fully vaccinated and so is my family, I continue with all protocols and I personally enjoyed the lockdowns. I was able to focus more on my gardening and caught up on my readings. The question i have for this team is. How are we counting the **waves of this pandemic**. Because i would think that we should consider the complete yearly cycle. meaning all the season as defined by the national geographic society: A season is a period of the year that is distinguished by special climate conditions. The four seasons—spring, summer, fall, and winter—follow one another ..and this will determine the wave. Just a food for thought. We knew this would come, we accepted the lockdown earlier when the cases were few and the death toll was at its lowest. When the lockdown was announced the former MOH was MIA, this was a clear indication off the direction we were heading. The phase " if you don't know where you are going, then any road will take you there" I agree with the PM about a new mandate from the people. We have failed on all fronts and what is so sad, people did not have **to die**.
If you take the 600+ thousands of people who died in the USA f rom Covid-19 and replace them with Bahamians, we would not have anyone left in the Bahamas, the USA will still have a country of over 300 million. To say our numbers are better is being irresponsible but damn right silly. We depend on the same USA to assist with every facet of our daily lives. We need to get off our soap boxes and make the tough decisions. Testing, and mandatory vaccinations have to be the rule of today. Mr. Ministry you were part and parcel of allowing flights landing in the Bahamas carrying this deadly disease, so please stop.
