It didn’t take too long for the clueless & ungrateful Bahamians to show themselves for what they are!
These folks are still staying at a luxury full service resort paid for by their fellow Bahamians and they have the nerve to complain that a Cat 5 hurricane was not a valid reason for the Jamaica airports to close, and the impossibility of BA to fly in for their scheduled flight.

And now their complaining about the trauma suffered experiencing another hurricane like Dorian?
Next they’ll be demanding refunds from the airline despite the fact none of them made attempts to board the plane Bahamasair did send down to pick them up.
And likely accompanied by their invoices from the support therapist these hypocrites will need to get over their stupidity they’ll be labeling as ‘trauma’.

And the great CC needs to look past his nose to the news, two airports Manley and Fleming are already open accepting aid supplies, tomorrow they’ll resume commercial flights.

I re-read the previous story regarding this decision, it doesn’t make sense.
Henfield was quoted that this government is funding those in the 50 member group who cannot afford an extended stay at the Dreams Rose Hall Resort where room prices are $300-$1000+/per night, ie. figure on every single member of this group.

Further he stated that “we’re leaning on each other for emotional support, especially those still haunted by the memory of Hurricane Dorian”.

I understand the gov’t sent a Bahamasair flight on Friday last to pick up any Bahamians eager to evacuate for their safety.
Strangely none of these so called “emotionally haunted” Bahamians were on that flight.
Nor were they on any flights before Norman Manley airport closed the following day.

Latest reports say the airport hopes to reopen ‘soon’ as no major damage was sustained. What’s the running tab up to now?
If a plane can be despatched tomorrow it’s at least $1,200 to $4,000 per couple assuming two per room that’s $30,000-$100K for 50 not so distressed Bahamians plus of course the cost of the flight itself.
Who wants to bet these poor damaged souls will be on the blower to BA demanding refunds for their flight missed last Sunday, last Monday?

Come to think of it how many flew in last Friday or even Thursday?
And why would they fly directly into Melissa’s path knowing, having experienced the destruction of a Cat 5 hurricane,,,knowing they’d be charged for every night they’d not paid???

So on Monday with less than a 48 window before Melissa barrels through the lower southern islands this gov’t is “preparing to possibly evacuate” the folks of how many islands??

And facing outwards. Best practices shows doors must open inwards due to likely debris blocking doors.
One cannot have a building rated to withstand 250/mph when these PGT windows (if they bought the highest capacity which is doubtful) only go to 175/mph.
Also photos of construction show windows left out to elements covered w/sand & stained from sun & rain…
And rebar in the outside walls is haphazard with some blocks having one single stick when double is called for.
Just some of inconsistencies that don’t add up to a 4.5M building!

Davis & Co were at the UN again lecturing delegates about the plight of smaller nations at the mercy of large vigorous economies & their bad environmental decisions, their vast pollution rates that have hastened the worst of climate change for vulnerable islands of the Caribbean.

And here is just another example of our wind bag’s hypocrisy, making the Bahamas a laughingstock on the world’s stage.
A coming white elephant that will sit so large no flood mitigation will help it’s neighboring environs or itself.
Future generations will be saddled with millions in debt and costs for triple the ordinary maintenance remediation due to flooded, degraded and inadequate infrastructure & systems.
$300M will not cover the build out w/all the bells & whistles promised by the PLP because that’s secondary to the cost of graft, inflated costs and overruns.

Then there’s the surety of all the padded change orders and not just for the bells, but the mundane & deliberate omissions like say for an HVAC system, fully equipped operating theaters or all the site work…
This endeavour is not for benefit of Bahamians, one wonders if the NIB will even provide coverage!

“Reportedly the refusal of our airline partner to accept outgoing mail to the US is because..15% tariff”
Reportedly? It was front page news, and wouldn’t the proper Bahamas ministries including this guy’s would have received notification?
DHL stopped accepting commercial parcels etc on Aug 22nd and if Bahamasair is still the airline ferrying mail then our “airline partner” is Bahamian owned (but no discount for all the $$ funneled there and elsewhere).

So they’d be onligated to refuse because the 15% wasn’t paid, and there’s your answer as to who’s supposed to be that fee.

It’s a good thing Mr Glinton alerted us & explained all this because the government busy at a “resolution” cannot be bothered to alert Bahamians!

Mr Wilson is retelling the same tale we’ve heard since his party was elected, and one is still left with the same query, why isn’t this government taking advantage of these favourable opportunities for growth?

The FNM government proved those “tailwinds” could be harnessed in 2021, enabling a climb 15.5% out of the hole to claw within 6% of the GDP (21.5) lost from Dorian & Covid.
That climb continued based on their policies in place for 10% rise in real GDP in 2022 yet each successive year since those opportunities have not only passed us by but mismanagement saw those numbers erode to ever more dismal: 2.6%, 2%, and now they’re crowing about 1.8%??

Show some respect for your fellow Bahamians’ intellect!

Ok so without a principal to take attendance teachers behave like children, ie. why the cat’s away?
And this going on at every school without a principal?
Is the Ministry so desperate they’re hiring such irresponsible miscreants?
This puts those ridiculously poor test results in a new light. Garbage in, garbage out.
Bahamian children are damned from the get go!
Raise wages if you’re sincere about giving children an education that sparks curiosity, the skills to pursue their dreams.

And why is a principal vacationing at the start of the new school year?
What kind of education system tolerates such nonsense!!

Walker is a poor choice for any venture either in public service or in business.
He is not a businessman, he’s doesn’t associate with the business community.
His successful chicken biz? Non existent.
For years he claimed his company was the largest Black-owned chicken biz in the US, 800 employees, w/millions in revenue..
In 2020 the truth came out, 8 employees and perhaps $1M a year.
He’s sold his name to companies to use for PR like Trump.

All the charities he has claimed get 15% of his profits?
They don’t know him or are long out of business. The events for charities he’s organized? Never saw a dime.
Watching him mouth promises he cannot possibly keep for lack of knowledge makes one cringe, but just imagine how the staff at Nassau’s US embassy feel!

Oh yes, in 2000 he was diagnosed with Dissociative-Identity-Disorder for which he says he’s cured, there is no cure. Which might explain why in the years following he had so many episodes of violent behaviour which included attempts to kill his wife and sundry list of others.
His responsibility?
Not in his mind, one of his other 12 personalities must have done it.
Apparently this is a common attempt by those so such afflicted, no empathy for their victimsz
If he’s confirmed…the Bahamas will need a coping mechanism not a welcome party!

The Devil knew just where his lies would find the most fertile ground didn’t he?
