you do know that Consolidated Water has Bahamian investors right? Bahamians really own it and get regular dividends. That is real ownership. Not the nonsense people sprint about Bahamians owning WS&C and never received one dividend. But I guess they got 3,000 free gallons each month.
Hopefully, we can just make Consolidated Water the real operator, and New Providence just becomes like the people in Grand Bahama.
Well, I have stayed there on numerous occasions and had a totally different experience. So I guess it is relative to each of us what we come away with.

What the heck is the COP talking about? If the people received a letter form government saying they can open, how can he make a pronouncement for them not to open, when they have a letter saying they can. I smell a rat.

Clearly our Constitution is long overdue for a drastic change. This is why we need a fixed election date to stop all this nonsense.

Philip Davis does it. If this what he does when leading Ministry of Works, imagine how he would screw up the Bahamas further.
Nancy Reagan slogan fits well with Davis, "Just say no!"
That is exactly what I was trying to figure out. His head jam. The people already said they are closing the hotel, so what he expect them to meet with him for?
Just another irrelevant union head who has never own and operated a business. Maybe the union can carry the employees for the next 2 years, and see what it is like to run a business and have to pay employees, rather than just be a parasite and suck off the money of others.

Only us in The Bahamas like to depend on government for everything rather than be independent and self reliant.
