We shouldn't need a special task force if the existing entities were all doing their jobs properly in the first place. (Another waste of our money!)

It is a fact that Bahamians don't seem to want to do the jobs that Haitians are happy to do-. live in maids, labourers and gardeners etc. Be careful what you wish for...When the price of domestic workers increases it will cause everything to cost more.
Even though they are disenfranchised and treated terribly by Bahamians, the Haitian diaspora have helped build the Bahamas, they are very hard workers, they turn up on time, they respect the law, they go to church, they bolster the economy, they pay NHI and Taxes, they would probably not overstay visas if the immigration process was faster and more efficient.
They would probably want to retire in Haiti if travel / documentation process was less risky for them.
I wouldn't want to live in Haiti right now, I don't blame them for wanting to get out. We should be kinder. They are from the same descendants as Bahamians lest we forget!
There for the grace of god...
One day our Bahamian children may be begging to live in Haiti when the sea level rises. We already have thousands of Bahamian Climate Refugees in the USA right now.
It's only a matter of time.

For the nation to move forward, these dinosaurs must go.

OK, now maybe they'll use the government's energy and power to get on with Actually Helping the Survivors now, instead of playing the political pissing match, it is obvious the gov was just pandering to pacify the 'Party People' in Nassau, they used the hurricane as an excuse to ethnically cleanse the Haitian population.

Everyone knows the Haitians will be back when the Bahamians start needing cheap labour.

Joy is an absolutely Wonderful ambassador for the Bahamas! Love her spirit, I wish it could rub off on more Bahamians!

And the analogy of the hat? Trump like indeed but Hmmm...no its, 'Tags on erryting'
Q: And what are we supposed to garner from that?
A: That everything has a catch, and will cost us $$$!

It sounds like a great step in the right direction, well done! We have some progress at last!
And we can still negotiate for more overflight fees at anytime.

Yes, shut the dinosaur down, it's costing hundreds of millions in subsidies to keep open.
Supply and demand dictates that if they close down some other airline would fill the void in quick time.
The public will get better service to the out islands and USA.
The ex-employees fro Bahamasair could be rehired by the new airlines, and the old airplanes sold.
The less burden on all of us.

Thank you Sam Doncome, people need to hear the truth, and yes, these ships need to go away from the bahamas, they are the sort of parasites that kill their host!

So its plain that companies and private entities want to cash-in, but why-o-why can't we start thinking out of the box and realize that there are other ways to build after a disaster.

i.e. What about televising the reconstruction process? Along the lines of a Community Reality Show i.e. a real life ‘Truman show’ meets HGTV, after all HGTV is really one big building products advertisement.

The Bahamas MOT, or any other entity like the University of the Bahamas for e.g. could take the helm and do an Eco Home Design Competition on a networked televised show, focusing on rebuilding after natural disasters, and building ‘Super Homes’ that in turn create Super Communities to protect against future catastrophic natural disasters. Manned by students and or working vacation/volunteers and funded by companies that market on HGTV Home Depot, Lowes, Kohler, Pella windows, roofing, solar, flooring, prefab house companies etc… the list is limitless!
Invite media, universities, architects, designers from around the world etc. to submit ingenious Hurricane resistant housing ideas, give them time to submit an idea and maximum of 18 months to complete the home. It could even be an ongoing thing that is open to yearly submissions forever! As it is also a tourism / vacation opportunity for the foreign contestants.
It could even be livestreamed and maybe in real-time on the internet (Bets could be placed?) or just sold as a series to a network or Netflix for e.g. Grand designs (Syndicated usa, nz, uk, Australia)
and Fixer Uppers Chip & Joanna Gains - just two people & they created an empire so imagine the spin off from a whole Town of people!
Why televised? Well, because disaster reconstruction is always done in a vacuum i.e. Haiti where did the money go, why is there no real time documentaries showing what was done (or not done) there?
Rebuilding disaster resistant homes will be of great interest to anyone and everyone worldwide that lives in a disaster prone zones - flood, hurricane maybe even include earthquake zones too, that is millions of people.
Much better and cheaper than paying P3 to rebuild and then we owe them millions forever emptying the Bahamas national kitty.

Also thank you to all the people and organisations who have donated out of the goodness of their hearts, the storm damaged areas need all the help they can get, and I totally respect and admire them all for doing so.
