Wow, I would call you an insensitive ass, but that would be an insult to insensitive asses everywhere.

Come on, don't be a petulant sycophant. At least give the overwhelmingly-newly-elected PM a chance before we ask the question: what is he doing?
It is a disingenuous and partisan question and only shows that your concern is not for the country, but rather that the FNM is re-elected.

This is true, sir. Except many - including yourself - asserted that because Brave was a part of Christie's cabinet, and presumably then agreed with Christie's polices, that that somehow disqualified him (Brave) from being the leader of a "new" PLP.
Now, you are espousing an alternative view. We just want you to be consistent. Can't be bad for Brave but good for Pintard. Good for one, good for all...bad for one, bad for all.

No, he would not have been the leader. He wasn't liked in the FNM; and the stalwarts, the people that actually vote for the leader, hated him.
He knew that, so he left.

Look at this idiot.

We do need a minimum wage increase - to argue this is to argue that the world is flat.
And, obviously you are blind - or simply obtuse - to the literally hundreds of kids who come to school without breakfast or lunch.
Pull your head out of you ass...for once.

You do realize that since 1992, the FNM has been in power for 20 of the past 29 years, right?
Stop with the lazy PLP corrupt rhetoric.

I hope you are right. Regardless, I think tribanon is right.

Understood. And, yes, per capital we are superior. Fair points.

Andrew, this is a very clear and cogent summary of the benefits - or lack thereof - of the existing FDI model. In particular, I support your assertion that The Bahamas has to become vastly more selective in the types of investments that we attract. And, we should severely reduce the amount of concessions liberally bestowed upon foreign investors. In fact, the UNCTAD report that you mentioned in your letter clearly outlines an inverse relationship between amount of quality foreign direct investment of a country and the concessions given - showing that, despite our (Bahamian government) beliefs, concessions are not as important a factor in making investment decisions.

I would quibble, just a bit, with the analysis that The Bahamas "has no peer" vis-a-vis FDI. On the contrary, we are almost middle of the pack (and trending downward!) in "quality FDI inflow, as measured by the UNCTAD report (2020). Incidentally, said report (2021), which the government and other private sector industry stakeholders tout as a measure of success, only measures us against, generally, other SIDS and does not, for example, compare us with Singapore, Estonia, and other small technologically driven countries. Regionally, Costa Rica, Brazil also outstrip us. We still have work to do.

Pleasure reading your letter.
