You're right about Bahamas Air because clients could find alternative measures to travel but BEC is the only power company around so a strike wouldn't necessarily put a company in a position where they could make a counter move and shut the whole company down, not advocating for BEC to go on strike but alt least they have more leverage. Like you say the union have poor leadership on not knowing that Bahamas Air is only around because of national pride and cronyism and not because it is really needed.

This may be an opportunity but why tourism? The Bahamas could find other industries to make it self profitable by not relying solely on Tourism, first we need to find ways to feed ourselves. With a country that has sun year round I don't see why we don't look into cutting down on food export. Secondly medical tourism could be an industry for the Bahamas, and thirdly the Bahamas could try their and beef up the retirement community that could rival places like Arizona and Florida. Just throwing things out there but there is plenty more ways to make the country profitable.

It is high time for the government to get out of running all businesses and sell them off to a private company without interfering on how that company can run the business that is another reason why it will be hard to find a company to buy Bahamas Air or BEC. Those company will never be profitable under the government because they are overstaffed. The government needs to get busy trying to find other industries for the Bahamas then they wouldn't be forced to overstaff business that is ran by the government.

Well said, some of them are probably thinking that she might thieve a little but she still fight for them.

The murder rate is high in the Bahamas because good citizens aren't allowed to have guns in their own house. If people are allowed to defend themselves in their home in will be a lot less that it is now.

I wonder if the new BEC management will be able to cut staff and overtime. Those are the biggest factor in the cost of energy in New Providence

I might not agree with a lot of your comments but using the Haitians to farm undeveloped land is something I had posted a long time ago. At least you can get equal compensation for the work they did before deportation and if they prove to be worthy or the country can afford to keep them, then it is a win-win situation for them and the Bahamas. Bringing down the cost of fruits, vegetables and meat could help the economy.

Exactly

It is had to reach Bermuda on a boat, so the illegals that Bermuda have is mostly Jamaicans that travel there legally and decided to stay.

That plane should have turn back like the other planes because of bad weather but the cell conversation had nothing to do with it.
