It is not expensive to dispose of cars. In fact they are worth a lot of money. A totally junk car that is still intact will get about $200-$300 from a scrap yard in Canada or the US. The scrap yard then breaks it down into the different metals and sell them to refineries for a profit.
No one on any of our islands seems to be doing that. They just let them rust away instead. Someone should be making money on this.
Unions are not the problem. The problem is that workers do not posses the skills to do the jobs they are hired for or the jobs that are currently open. The unions certainly don't help, but they are working with an underskilled membership.
The public education system has failed and this failure has resulted in the majority of social problems that exist in the Bahamas today.
Revelations 21:8 doesn't actually mention anything about homosexuality. It says the sexually immoral. It's biggotry that associates that statement with homosexuality.
Carnival is not African culture. It's a Christian based celebration leading into Lent (although we chose to have it well after). It was developed in Europe and spread from there.
You're right about the what happened to the money, but why the xenophobia? Just because there are some things that are non-Bahamian doesn't make them foolishness. There is more than enough Bahamian foolishness of our own.
Not just funds derived from VAT, but any funds that the government manages to get their hands on. There is absolutely no fiscal responsibility from our leaders what so ever. Given then money is like giving a junkie crack. They are addicted to wasteful spending.
You are absolutely right. Bahamasair is just another mismanaged crown corporation whose purpose has long since passed. Every year they cost tax payers money. It's not as if there are no other options. In fact the other options are usually cheaper and more reliable.
Sell it off, make some money and pay down the debt. The government has proven year after year and administration after administration that they cannot run a business.
They actually said that renewables could meat "a significant portion" of it load. He was singling out heavy industrial customers as having load profiles that don't work as well with renewables.

But also, good for the Island House. I think the upscale boutique hotel model is a very good fit in the Bahamas.
