by the way we get zero money from them! the british virgin islands, they got destroyed last summer with the hurricane, did they get any money? zero. One dinner at the palace, all of these guys (whom we voted for) fall in line and do as they are told. even the canadians didn't say no. go figure.

in america, they are getting rid of confederate statues, slave owner statues and even evil doctor statue last week in new york. it turns out he was experimenting on enslaved women (central park in new york)

what are the chances we can erase these imperialistic symbols and traditions from the colonial past that only symbolise how they see us as subjects and look down on the black man for centuries. why can't we have a prime minister that will put an end to this bow and curtsy spectacle.

better channel that brain power into thinking about 50 other more important issues we have.

i dream of a bahamas when a proud man (or a woman) will rise up and say NO to all this BS. Don't want the queen or her loser son. our people are way too impressed by royal this royal that .

if you truly cared about the bahamas and the bahamians, you wouldn't be defending the previous government which left the whole country and almost everything in it bankrupt and disfunctional for generations to come.
if you're fred mitchell, hey! how is its goin'?

like if you're still traumatized by the last government's thieving and corruption that this government is still trying to uncover. sigh.

can somebody tell the MP from freeport to look a bit more interested and focused on what's being discussed (as opposed to checking her phone or sleepy eyes) at least during the televised portions of the parliament meetings that make it to zns newscast? yes some of us that are not yet 90 years old still watch it. sometimes.

we are not going to give up such coveted jobs as bank jobs at least without a protest. it was a nice gesture on government's part to send the application back with 10 resumes. the educated bahamians who are in the bahamas need to sort of band together and take care of business in the bahamas. the government, the education system, the laws are all a part of that. we can always use fresh blood and ideas in the economy but for a dying sector of the economy like the financial services (think less than 10-15% of gdp), we have nothing to lose.

we can't even tell which letter comes first in whatever WTO stands for and we are dying to sign up for something that we don't even understand and very doubtful that it will even benefit us in the slightest sense. so stupid. the only and the safest trade that matters is with the US, everything else is just unnecessary economic mumbo jumbo.

Foreign banks need to start respecting the Bahamas and the Bahamians in general. You want to do business out of the Bahamas, you learn to work with Bahamians. btw that whole this person that person speaks 10 languages story, forget it. The bum on the street in France speaks french or pick any random country in latin America, they speak spanish. so what? English is the universal business language and Bahamians speak it. there you have it. Parents make sure you have your kids do better than yourselves in school so we can at least have the future generations walk with their heads held up high.
