... Dorian did not remove enough of the rogue, squatting immigrants there! There was a time I would go to Abaco every year and now I may never go again, because of how things have changed!
... visionless governance by self serving buffoons who accrue debt to maintain power is not a good strategy for national development! Couple that with allowing a large amount of poor, uneducated immigrants to further strain government infrastructure and you have a recipe for disaster. Independence was a failed experiment! Our people lacked the maturity that self sufficiency required and now we are paying for it. The Bahamas is a third world nation, saddled with debt, high crime, a population with an entitlement mindset and no real vision for the future. Sadly, this was 100% avoidable!
... I have been hearing stories of this in Nassau and some family islands for more than 30 years, but I have never heard of a parent going to jail for it. We are lost as a nation; no conscience or moral compass and people think more new police cars or technology will address the crime issue, think again! People need Jesus!
... Bahamians have become experts at catering to their immediate needs and wants without giving any regard to the future and what has it given us? A country full of illegitimate children who grew up with no moral training or self control. We went from a country that was relatively debt free to one drowning in debt. From one that was relatively safe to one where now you need a walled in yard with a gate and 1-2 dogs in that yard, but you still need a home surveillance system and bars on your windows! And even then you are not sure if you are safe.
What we have been doing as a people hasn't been working and people don't have sense to see that. But yeah, let's continue down the road you suggest because sometimes things have to get worse before they get better!
... if only thinking adults could be elected to actually address many of the nations problems, instead we keep getting people who rearrange the lounge chairs on a sinking ship!
... we need less Chinese involvement, not more! Pindling was right to try and keep them out. They give a little with one hand and take a lot with the other, but sadly Bahamians like "free" things!
... as a nation we need term limits! Two terms and no more! These parasites are turning what should be a form of national service into a career of self service. Let them serve their time and leave, without pensions! These people keep running the country into the ground and imbecilic Bahamians keep voting them in to do just that. It seems the country is getting what it deserves, after all, the Bahamian people are voting for it!
... so between the amount of public holidays, sick **call in** days, days with a sick slip, compassionate days, maternity days, vacation days, personal time days and sometimes days for jury duty, why don't companies just pay people to stay home?
