I agree with you. But how many Chinese cam with nothing, no investment, but started doing with the little they had.

Our problem is we are not looking for a job to use as a little investment to build something. We just glad we have a little j-b and the government happy with that because that way more goes to the 1%.

If it is a new day, why then is the same old way of doing things still happening? Why are we seeking to make public statements by politicians over civil servants promotions? Why not just allow promotions to happen by a standardized process without the involvement of the politician?

It is tragic how irrelevant our politicians are and have no creativity in making this country better.

New days, and same old backwards ways of thinking and doing things.

Isn't it sad how we celebrate modern slavery in our country. Splashed across the pages of the daily is 900 people getting jobs from a foreign master. We see that as progress, Yet, why don't we work to have people be their own bosses and sign the front of the check and not the back: Why don't we pushed and celebrate them having their own ingredients to make their own pie, and not settling for fighting for crumbs from someone else's pie?

And why are police in the picture of a private company?

With all of the food insecurity in this country, outrageous electricity rates, people living in tents, these dudes have the nerve to talk about forming a committee to look at taking care of them? Same dung, with the new day.

Seriously though, Minnis needs to keep quiet. When he was PM he didn't want to talk to the press and answer questions. Now that he is out he always talking to the press. And talk about apologize? When did he? Please.

So the PM says he left quarantine. The statement form the PM office says he was never in quarantine. Darville says he was on his way to quarantine.

Moral of it all: Some body is lying. They can't get their stories straight.

Government won the case, but now decides to settle. Guess the unions have Davis in their back pocket.

Amazing how these unions be all over the place crying but don't release details of the deal.

Where is our Freedom of Information Act????

Only in the Bahamas we make things more expensive by forcing you to use a middle man.

Import a car, you cant do the paperwork yourself, need to use a broker.
Buy insurance, can't go direct to the seller, need to go through an agent of the broker.

Forget the conflict of interest. Those two statements are a prime reason they should not go. If the purpose is to showcase the culture of the country, and as a group you are planning to call it quits, then you have no right going.

On the conflict of interest, fine if you were dealing with the government from 2019. But the moment your director became OPM press secretary, automatically he should have resigned as group leader or stop pursuing the group going, especially as the group in their final year.
