Re your point on Dahl-Regis, you are making a strong indictment - tantamount to treason in my view. Please empirically source that comment, or retract and stop spreading abjject nonsense.

Ah, sigh. Again, that is the point, isnt it. The private carriers will not run flights to remote islands and cays. Sonyour "guarantee" will be tantamount to subsidy, which you are trying to avoid now, isnt it? And to keep the guarantee, guess what? Gov will have to subsidize them more amd more. Then, guess what, comment board posters will then whine and complain that the gov is subsidizing them too much.
Then problem 2. OK smart boy what do you do with all the employees that will be released from Bahamasair? Guess what the gov will have to do? Yup, subsidize them. Social services/unemployment benefits, etc.
Some critical thinking you need.

Thisisours, your post is as insensitive a post as I have ever read on this comment board. And that is really saying something. And absolutely pathetic, little man you are - if, in fact you are a man.

Health of your citizens over the economy every day...and twice on Sunday.
Economies, even the worst ones, can be rebuilt.
You cannot replace lost lives.
That this simple concept has to be explained is mind-boggling.

Last I checked, the politicians and doctors are trying to lock us down to protect us. But of course, silly Bahamians feel like travelling to Miami, going to Wendy's or drinking at Fish Fry is more important. So, yes, blame us. Blame us for not taking this seriously. Blame us for not wearing a gad damn mask, blame us for valuing the economy over people's lives, blame us for not staying our dumb selves inside the house, blame us for hosting brunch parties, blame us for...oh, you get the point.

no there wont be. Most Bahamians who actually understand the need for the lockdown will capitulate. The other D- idiots may take to the streets, where I hope Commissioner Rolle and his boys will be waiting in droves to drag those miscreants to prison.

Ok, do you care to sacrifice your mother, kids or wife for the cause? GTFOH, simpleton Dont have time for your trash today.

Maybe now Bahamians can stop with this insistence to open up the economy because we have to "learn to live with the disease". This great, hero nurse sure as hell isn't living with the disease, is she?
Dumb Bahamians.

And you simple idiotic Bahamians still want the economy to open up because we have to "learn to live with it" and because "the cure cannot be worse than the disease" and all that nonsense. Pray tell me, what cure is worse than this woman's death. Idiotic, simple, dumb Bahamians.

This is not even remotely true and I wish commenters would stop making this specious point. If you reduce the size of the corporations/government ministries, then who will be the first to be let go? Unskilled and/or unproductive workers, right? But guess what? Because they are unskilled and/or unproductive, they will not be able to find employment anywhere else. So then, they will all go to social services and become a strain on the government - just in a different form. So, the very problem that you are trying to address will not, in fact, be addressed. By the way, don't take my word for it, when you have a change, google a variety of legitimate issues on this topic by objective economists: Heilbronner/Keyned/Riccardo/Nash all give you good insight on this issue.
