Bowe, as the CEO of a bank that is publicly listed, needs to do much more of 'his thing' behind the scenes and much less of it by giving interviews to the press, especially the likes of Neil Hartnell.
Global Port Holding and the polluting cruise ship industry are using the best our country has to offer to mint loads of money for themselves and a very privileged few members of our corrupt and elitist political ruling class. Meanwhile their "all-for-them" business models are doing nothing to help alleviate the growing burden on Bahamians of our unsustainable national debt, soaring inflation and high unemployment.
When will our dumber than dumb elected officials wake up to the fact that these monstrous floating hotels are actually our small nation's number one competitor for the vacation dollars spent by their passengers?!

Here we see Darrin Woods seeking to build political capital for himself with the corrupt ruling political elite as opposed to representing the interests of the members of the Bahamas Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union.
How much longer are the Bahamian people going to tolerate one set of laws for them and an entirely different set of laws for the corrupt ruling political elite and their friends, whether they be of PLP or FNM persuasion?
Surely Pintard must have many more important things to do and be concerned about as leader of the opposition rather than wasting his time and the FNM party's time.
It's clear Pia Farmer sees these electric vehicles as a flash in the pan business opportunity and she's going all out to strike while the iron is hot.
Pia knows these are times when the wealthier fools prone to a knee jerk reaction will go out and buy the very expensive equivalent of the gloried suped-up golf carts she is selling. After all, she remembers all the fools in the U.S. who went out and bought small expensive hybrid vehicles the last time there was geo-political turmoil that sent gasoline prices through the roof.
Pia would have you believe electric vehicles will not only put money in your pockets but also allow you to be a participant in that great worthy Green New Deal cause to save our planet. But let's think all of this through for a brief moment. The glorified golf carts she wants you to buy are being manufactured in Red China which is well known to be the most polluting country in the world because of its heavy reliance on dirty coal energy. And then there's Red China's notorious reputation for human rights abuses that no doubt impacts the 'slave' labourers involved in the manufacture of these electric vehicles.
I can't imagine owning one of these suped-up golf carts when the price of a barrel of oil gets back down to the $60-$80 range. And can you imagine she claims, no doubt with a straight face, that the battery has a life-time warranty....keep in mind that's not your life-time but rather the battery's much shorter life-time (or perhaps the shorter life-time of mainly plastic vehicle itself) that she wants to sell you for not less than $27,000 plus VAT.
And for Pia to say the gloried suped-up plastic golf cart she wants to sell you will save you 80 cents on the dollar is truly laughable. She clearly knows little about physics or chemistry otherwise she would know a thing or two about the conservation law of energy. What she should be disclosing to prospective buyers is the true cost per mile over the expected life of the vehicle assuming snail pace driving on our congested roads. But if she disclosed that very important piece of information there would likely be few if any interested buyers.
And are all of those batteries eventually going to end up in our public dumps to poison our environment? Please, give me a break!
This cruel and harsh Davis and Cooper led PLP administration can do a lot to help ease the severe pain being inflicted on most Bahamians by the soaring rate of inflation without adding to the problem by increasing the minimum wage and thereby pushing many businesses out of business with resulting higher unemployment.
There are two immediate things the Davis and Cooper led administration can do to provide relief for struggling Bahamians: (1) Declare a government gasoline tax holiday for at least the next six months; and (2) declare a VAT holiday on all price controlled food items for the remainder of this year.
