Government can never fix this problem or no other problem for that matter. What is the change the thing that is the cause of the problem fix the problem.

Franchise holders are family members and friends of the politicians and their parties. Get rid of all the bus drivers not stopping on the bus stops today and you will have a brand new band of drivers tomorrow doing the same the. The problem is not just the bus drivers alone but the politician and franchise holders.

My last and final rights (before I die) is to see this country governed by qualify professionals (how to awake the sleeping masses) and to remove these childish, rogue, unprofessional, petty and sassy talking gangs from the seats and orbits of power.

"A bus stop should not be in front of a bank." This is very childish excuse and makes absolutely no sense. There are bus stops in front or near almost every banks everywhere in this country. The comptroller and minister need to be forthcoming and tell us what this is about.

It does not matter if there is no bus stop in front of a bank, buses pass by in front of all banks everywhere all day. Anyone going into a bank or coming out need only call out for bus to stop and traditionally the driver stops. I don't see this changing because they move a bus stop.

With the amount of uproars in this country we don't need another. Our police and courts are stretched to the max and this decision only places further load on our institutions.

Furthermore I wonder how many officials park and walk more than two blocks away from their offices everyday? Hmmm!

Dump cable I did 15 years ago its the least of our problems.

political dominance of this country
This country is dominated by political decisions in every area. In all truth, I don't see a shift of this country heading in any other direction unless we get the necessary hands onboard.

Most of the complaints are coming from the middle class and small people with very little or no influence. Until the necessary individuals join in to shift this country away from the direction it is now, then it's business as usual.

We need individuals with public and wealth influence onboard including professional individuals in every area in this country that can affect and influence rules and change where it is necessary.

Changing from party to party including to the DNA under the status quo will do very little if any change at all to change the political dominance that politicians exercise in this country.

In closing, while some are willing to give politicians the benefit of the doubt most of us have reached our limits and no longer support the idea that the decision they are making for this country is one which yields the best and necessary results that most of the Bahamian people can find comfort, safety and satisfaction in.

Allocating monies from one sector of the economy, from the people to another sector of economy, to the deficits is a very risky, poor and irresponsible maneuver especially when there is no preparations
made to compensate in advance.

Here is an example: A flood is coming the dam is breaking and we need to hold it back. The only material are the farms. The only thing is to dredge the farms to hold back the dam. The crops are not ready but there is no time to wait for food. Maybe we'll hold back the floods, just maybe, but we'll have no food and no farms for sure.

So, we figured out where to take money from and when there is no more there, but left with a greater challenge, the question remains, then what? Don't tell me, I already know, there is no preparation here either.

Exerting pressure on a poorly produced dry orange only crushes it, nothing more.
Just squeeze the damn orange anyways, a typical attitude of all governments everywhere.

Hmmm!

vat times three

Show me just one thing gov's have done right and I will say no more that their incompetence is not a disease.

Some items and services are taxed only 7.5% but for most commodities and services 7.5% is a trick! Try 7.5% x 3

1. At Bahamas Customs, 7.5%
2. On the shelf, 7.5% (and larger margins)
3. At the casher again, 7.5%.

If you use a credit card in the store it will be taxed VAT two and a half times.

Auto repairs and parts are charged VAT and VAT is charged on top of VAT.

Most of us won't recognize the damages that VAT will inflict on our incomes until some time to come.

VAT is to improve this country credit rating by helping to reduce our credit deficits. Makes nonsense. VAT is a deficit and it will increase the countries deficits by increasing our personal deficits.

Exerting pressure on a poorly produced dry orange only crushes it, nothing more. We will all experience this damage months from now.

Exerting pressure on a poorly produced dry orange only crushes it, nothing more.

#PRIME Minister Perry Christie last night vigorously defended Bank of the Bahamas Managing Director Paul McWeeney, saying that the clearing bank grew impressively in several areas under his more than a decades long leadership. The PM needs a script."

But nonetheless he just confirmed what we been saying all along the way this country works. Imagine if the US or UK worked like this country. Believe it or not that's the way they run the country, just do something big to impress the highrollers and you Do whatever you want and get away with it (I'm public) and there is nothing no one can do about it. Isn't that something? First it was Pinder and now McWeeney, who is he looking out for?

I wonder can I really stand before a judge with this statement and get away with it?
