These PLP people in government like to make up things and provide no facts to prove it. And these reporters just print the nonsense they spew without challenging them.

The report says exports decline by 44%. The Senator say, that is re-esport but Bahamian export remain steady, yet, he provides no facts to prove what he says.

So, we are just to believe whatever comes out of his mouth?

So are you saying not having a pre-determined set period of time between elections is what keeps an opposition incentivize to be vigilant? And having a fixed election date will not keep them vigilant? I guess our neighbour to the North then can never have an opposition that is vigilant, since they have fixed election dates?

I concur with you on the term limits for Prime Ministers.

And just like we can have a PM term limits, we can have a fixed election date, so people are no disenfranchised from voting by these elections called at the whim of a PM and they did not get to register. A mature democracy does not hide elections. Only dictatorships that want to rule do that.

And yet these people cannot even get gas stations to post their prices on billboards in front of their stations so you can compare?

Yada, yada yada. Another new day promise.

This again?

The boy who cried woif.

May Angelou said when people show you who they are, believe them..

This government is breaking the law straight up and don't care, and trying to justify it.

2026 cannot come soon enough.

This is the statement that brings reality to all Cooper is saying. On paste to get 12m, only the reality is that probably 11m will be cruise ship passengers, of whom 6 m will probably never get off the boat in The Bahamas.

The reality does not line up with all the talk.

Is this trickling down to the average persons?

Don't waste time trying to reason with birdie. Birdie is typical of the type of people who are keeping this country back. They do not have the intelligence to reason and to put country above political party.

If you read the dumb a** comments of the PM, he states that people will take this savings and spend more in the economy.

But what they really fail to acknowledge is that the costs for business will go up. SO all that saving in electricity, will be spent now on higher food costs.

Just shifting money from Peter to Paul.

People can say all sort of dumb sh*t and the media simply prints it and does not even challenge the garbage they say.

As you correctly state, where will the money to increase wages come from when the government admits they have not been able to control inflation?

Why did the reporter not ask Mr. Rolle to say where the increase wages should come from?

Letter writer is correct. Spot on.
