Nassau is different than out ilsands. Some Islands are 120 miles long. 85% duty on a vehicle in Nassau with all the public transportation that is available? Maybe. Out islands? Give us a break. Ever read the book Animal Farm? Right before our eyes.
Cuba is going to kick Bahamas ass and if we don't get our act together with what really is important, Haitains taking $5/hour jobs from not a Bahamian that would work for that amount is last on the list. Noise, noise, noise. Cuba is a very attractive location for the same tourists that Bahamas is trying to attract. What are we doing to impact their decision to come to Bahamas? Rip on the poor, cheap labor that is holding things together? Come visit our hideous and stinky downtown? Give them a tour of a $3.5B albotrous? Go over the bridge and have the U.S. Shopping mall and water park come to them in the Bahamas versus leaving their home. Such beautfiul assets this country has, but the pigs at the trough are too busy trying to eat and breath at the same time, and it impacts their ability to deal with the real issues. Flogging? Flog him. When was the last time he picked up a broom or a shovel? Ask your local Hatian. He/she will tell you.
The Bahamas reefs and waters are dying by the day. Ask your friend who is a lobster fisherman, ask someone you know who goes out and gathers conch. This type of activity does not help their struggling habitat to reproduce. But if the choice is to ignore the historical ways in which Bahamians have nurtured and bore the fruit of the sea, made good livings, to allowing giant virus plagued, poop dumping ships in the same waters....
Then say goodbye to an invaluable asset. Does this one project put the nail in the coffin? no, but the buy offs and look the other way that the government anemically, and most obviously, adheres to will lead to its ultimate death.
This seems so obviously unfair to this hard working, job creating business man. Stuart Cove is a Nassau Icon and to think that these non-bahamian companies are coming into the same market he relys on, with an unfair pricing advantage, and putting his business at risk is wrong. Time for some politicians to do something about this before it is too late. I appreciate Stuart's descriptive language regarding the lack of fortitude most politicians have these days. For the male MP's.... where are your balls?
