... this from the same government that gave us VAT for the sole reason of paying down the national debt! This from the same guy who could not tell us where the VAT money went!
... we are a valued partner, in a very unequal relationship! That is perpetuated by decades of visionless leadership in our government and sadly, there is little anyone can do about it!
... how many of these "families" are **Bahamian**? There are too many 'other people' competing with Bahamians for limited resources and we did it to ourselves!
... Bahamians continue to allow politicians to insult their intelligence with these patronizing gesture before elections! These guys will do anything to win an election, but they will not take VAT monies out of the consolidated fund and use it exclusively to pay down the national debt like they promised.
... the high starch and fried food based Bahamian diet is very unhealthy and contributes to most of our health care problems. Bahamians are quick to adopt the bad habits of other countries and very slow to implement the good. So while this research might shed some light on a vexing problem, a pill or shot is not the solution, but lifestyle changes, which means nothing much will change here are home.
... when Cuba eventually opens up because of pressure from this US government, things will get even worse. The days of sitting down to make money are gone. Our tourism product sucks! Prices are too high, service is poor and too many uncouth and poorly dressed people interacting with tourists. People are going to have to adapt or get left behind.
... except US inflation is down significantly compared to the the same time last year and fuel prices are down at the pumps in Nassau as well. That can only mean that our governments policies are keeping inflation high.
