The madness at Cable Bahamas continues...so they force us to watch it on their channels, and they can't even get the audio to work...cuts in and out every half second...if you listen to it like that, it makes you feel sick, almost as sick as Cable's despicable behaviour over the whole thing. Can't wait for the next time I receive one of those marketing calls about switching to Rev Voice for my phones...I am going to tell them to go to hell - if they can't even work out how to broadcast a simple feed, there's no way in hell I'm going to trust them with my phone connections!
Vladimir Putin also vehemently denies having anything to do with the troubles in Eastern Ukraine. Mr. Bentley, you can deny all you like. You will rue the day that you made this decision to satisfy the PLP. Bye-bye BTC...you may suffer dropped calls, but no one can deny the improvements and investments that have been made under CWC and Mr. Houston. With a politically motivated Bahamian back in charge, BTC will go the way of ZNS and Bahamasair...no more meritocracy, pure crony-ism and service down the toilet.
Thank God for Justice Conteh, but what a shame that only a foreign judge like him has the confidence and the acumen to point out the obvious truth. When our local judges ignore the truth, what hope is there for justice?
It's not hard to make an argument for the need for an official PM's residence, BUT you have to be completely brain dead to think NOW would be the appropriate time to spend millions of dollars on such a project. It is pure insanity and shows a complete and utter disrespect and/or misunderstanding of the desperate need for our country to put its fiscal house in order. If a political leader in any developed democracy in the rest of the world were to make such a suggestion under such circumstances, he or she would immediately face a vote of no confidence and be out of the job in weeks. It is just shameful.
Thinking would be good, but yours does not appear to be very clear. A monthly allowance is an expense, building a new residence is a capital investment. People take out a mortgage and make their monthly payments for the same reason why it makes sense to pay an allowance instead of building a PM's residence, i.e. because they cannot afford to pay cash up front to buy a house, just like the government cannot afford to build a PM's residence right now.
You're not even considering the fact that there is NO WAY these guys in power would consider spending a tiny $1.5m on a PM's residence. With today's building costs and the opulence that you know they would want to surround themselves with, you wouldn't get much change from $10m or even $15m. And if you are even considering the ridiculous idea of a new Parliament, I hope they have a spare $100m lying around.
