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?

What’s going on in the DOE?
The above figures dismal as they may be don’t make sense.
If 3392 students sat for 5 BCJ exams or more, and1316 or 38.8% of them received a ‘C’ grade or better, and 1788 students or 52.7 received “grades of D or above” what happened to the other 188 students ie. 8.5% that are missing from this equation?

For those of us who did get a ‘C’ or better in Maths, 1316+1788=3104 not 3392,
and that computes to 188 (8.5%) students whose grades have been…what?
Did they failed to turn in their exam, did not attempt to write it?
If so then the percentage of students who barely passed and/or failed their exams is much higher-58.4%

And only under this failing system would any so called educator Bahama-eduspeak a grade of ‘D’ or below to “a grade of D or above”.

Cue the violins!
Me me me has been Davis’ only mantra since he drew breath
And the only loyalty this shyster has ever engendered is through his quid pro quo system and a constant stream of kickback revenue schemes.
And those unlucky miscreants who ever thought a ‘one and done’ would suffice can attest-it is never enough.
That is the legacy of Davis&Co.

My sympathy to Mr Bain over the loss of his Mother. I do know the heartbreak of medical mistreatment or as in the care of his poor Mother- grossly inadequate treatment.

While blood loss can be common after pinning for a femoral neck fracture, the need for three transfusions seems excessive.
The terrible and very painful third stage bedsores, the UTIs, the onset of Pneumonia all indicate a fundamental failure to address and follow a proactive treatment plan (like constant repositioning & providing bed equipment to prevent/alleviate bedsores & the pain), as well as providing basic physician & nursing care required for such patients as Mrs Bain.
Her MD should have ordered a CT scan & complete blood work after the first transfusion, followed by more bloodwork & an MRI after #2 and #3!

Basic adequate nursing care includes monitoring patient vitals and given all that befell this poor lady at PMH that seems sorely lacking here.
The fact the nurses reported to Mr Bain that his Mum was sleeping when it sounds as if she had already been subsumed by shock is very telling.

One can only assume that Mrs Bain needed a hip replacement and her doctors, the PMH administration did not intend to provide such because of her age and/or it was contraindicated. Instead of being straight with her, her family they just waited for the inevitable.
The very least they should have done was to ensure the short time she had left on this earth was not one of excruciating pain.
And unfortunately given her Syphilis diagnosis it adds to a picture of a fundamental moral problem in this particular hospital.
We all experience the small embarrassing indignities that come in hospital, but the loss of one’s humanity is an entirely different plane of abuse. PMH didn’t respect Mrs Bain enough to care for her medically; worse, worse, they didn’t ensure that an elderly woman held bound in her bed by traction protection from rape.
