... there are a lot of soft skills that parents used to pass onto their children that you just don't see anymore. Being courteous, showing initiative and a willingness to learn are traits that are extremely hard to find in many young Bahamians. You have to teach them the basics of how to speak to customers, how to answer a phone etc. This is a reflection in the systematic breakdown of the home in this country. We have too many people that want a job but don't want to work. We have a country with far too many children and far too few **parents**!
... no sympathy here! Bahamians care about their **image** far more than they care about developing their **character**! No more conch for him for quite a while!
... the real questions are who is approving these work permits and why? What legal recourse do Bahamians have if they are being pushed out of the industry by foreign workers? Is there a kickback scheme at work here? All questions that need answers!
... a new $201 million hospital is not needed! That won't change the lackadaisical attitudes people have towards work! It won't improve efficiency, increase empathy or stop doctors who should be in the hospital from going to their private practices! Its the lack of accountability, transparency and genuine concern for others that makes our healthcare system so poor in spite of the large amounts of money thrown at it! The health care system is dysfunctional because, like the rest of our country, it is poorly managed!
... truly a tragedy, but the article is unclear as to her status while *renting* and *working* in the country as a "hair braider". Does she pay national insurance as a self employed person?
*"In 2022, he signed a memorandum of understanding with the government for Partanna to develop a carbon-negative concrete manufacturing facility. At the time, the first 30 affordable homes were set to be built with the sustainable material in Abaco the following year."*
... maybe before he commits to running for office he should disclose what happened with the homes he was supposed to build in 2023!
... we refuse to acknowledge the grave national security concerns that arise from having a large, entitled. non-Bahamian population resident in this country! The Trojan horse is in the gates!
