@bonefish, oh, we understand well enough to know that expending millions on infrastructure to support 85 people, not to mention rebuilding their homes at taxpayer expense as certain politicians advocate, is voodoo economics.
Better to give those people crown land on other larger neighboring islands and tax exemption on building materials rather than continue the bleeding.
If you want to remain with your navel string that's on you.
The cost to the taxpayer momof maintaining docks, clinics,power telecommunications, water etc for less than 100 people as in Ragged Island is lunacy.

If the current government had at their disposal all of the millions that were stolen at Road Traffic under your watch they could repair every runway in the country. SMT.

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that have been tried."
WSC.

Bahamian people have to get over this mindset that the government is responsible for fixing everything that happens in their lives and take some collective responsibility for their situation. In other words, get off your dead asses and get on your dying feet and do something to help yourselves for a change. Why is it that people who choose to live in small isolated communities of less than a thousand individuals, or in some cases like Ragged Island with less than one hundred people expect, with the financial drain of repairs to mainland Abaco and Grand Bahama not to mention the impact of the coronavirus, that the government should have the wherewithal to immediately pour millions into rebuilding their homes and infrastructure?
And if you really believe that re-electing the clowns that were there previously is the answer to your prayers, dream on!
The grass may look greener on that side of the fence but that might just be the location of the cesspit.

Coronavirus is raging out of control all across Europe and the United States.
Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and Britain are all implementing either further lockdowns or severe restrictions on restaurants, bars, and assemblies yet Bahamians refuse to accept what our government and health authorities are telling us as the truth?
I suppose you also think that the governments and health organizations of the above-mentioned countries are all clueless as well?
People like you are not only delusional, you're dangerous!

What exactly do these people expect the government to do for them that it isn't doing already? Last time I checked the government didn't own any hotels, other than the one in Grand Bahama.
Do they really believe that the owner/operators are going to open with no guests just to provide income for their workers?
The ignorance and self entitlement of my fellow Bahamians continues to amaze me!

Tal has been hitting the edibles at midnight again Lol.

Fernander doesn't want his sermons censored? When are you and your associates going to stop trying to censor what goes on in Bahamians bedrooms??

Does anyone really listen to anything this talking suit has to say about anything???

With regard to "telegraphing" your intent and strategy, I would say that judging from your actions and comments since demitting office that that genie done out of the bottle.
