There are a lot of things needed to bring the public education system up to where it should be. We need people to fight for that. Sometimes discussions can get heated. However, respect should never be thrown out the window. You can have heated debates between professionals that hours later everyone when they're calm can resume and smooth things over and there's no hard feelings.

Mrs. Wilson said that the Minister should not have shared a private conversation in the public domain. Wow! She clearly missed the picture that she was totally out of line. That's a very disgraceful behavior from her side. She's nit stating that it never happened which confirms that it did. This can not be the face of teachers in this country. She has to go. I think that perhaps there could be some issues that she's fighting for that perhaps Mr. Lloyd may not be addressing or not addressing in a timely manner. But, you can't behave like you are a thug on the street. Every teacher in this country needs to vote for a better representative. This is extremely poor behavior.

D'Aguilar isn't the brightest. So, we can't expect much from him.

No new industry can come overnight and drive our economy, I agree. However, you have to start building new.ones now and breathe more life into those small ones that are running now.

There is something we can do now. We can improve the ease of doing business. I assume Mr. Turnquest reads this paper and also follows the rankings online for the ease of doing business. If we're ranked lower than the West Bank and Gaza Strip, it's clear that we have issues. We can easily fix the bottlenecks in government bureaucracy. We can easily remove unnecessary paperwork and controls that add zero value to the process. We can speed up approvals. This can be done in months or a year at most. Why isn't this being done? All we get is excuses, excuses, excuses. A donkey can figure this out and realize it can help us out quite a lot.

If we are to be a country of laws and we establish policies to dictate how our country should be run, then there should be a common standard. Squatting, building structures not up to code should not be tolerated.

The whole discussion on Crown land is a disgrace. Bahamians for years are waiting on approvals. Then. Foreign investor shows up and is given hundreds of acres without any issues. There has to be a level aying field.

So, the PM said things are looking up. He believes things are going well. Interesting!

Leadership is not something achieved over time or something that can be taught. It is an innate quality. It seems that when we vote, we're electing people for leadership who haven't demonstrated leadership qualities. Then we are surprised that they can't lead. We do this time.and time again. What's the definition of insanity, doing things the same way all the time but expecting a different outcome.

Well, he came in as a move to remove the PLP. So, he was a symbol. Lol. For the last few decades, we have had deficiencies in leadership. We had some bright spots in the Ingraham administration but also a bunch of issues as well. The last vision at the PM level that we had was th e beginning of the Pindling administration. That administration had some positives but also negatives. If we go back prior to Independence to the UBP, we get positives and some real bad negatives.

We're a country starving for a real.posiitve change. We're small enough to easily become a beacon of hope for the entire global community. Why do our leaders make it look so hard to run such a small country?

The change can be a matter if certain fundamental principles that ine believes in. So, I can respect that. However, I don't buy that from this guy. What has he really done? He doesn't appear to be some great champion of the people. This country is so sad with the people we choose to elect to office.

Another political joke.

Th e current administration is a joke. The last administration was a disaster - corruption, mismanagement, etc. A change was needed. Unfortunately, we're changing from one bad idea to the next bad idea. We need a group of people with the interest in building this country to step forward and the people need to.embrace them. It's as simple as that. A great new leader won't happen over night. But, the right thinking visionaire will in time show greatness.

We're down this road because of the mistake made with the July 1st reopening. We basically won the fight against Covid-19 at that time. If we hadn't opened up in terms of foreign travel and tourism, we would probably be back to some semblance of normalcy. I don't understand that reopening decision given that all of the large hotel properties were closed. Also, tourists are not traveling in any significant numbers. So, from a cost benefit analysis perspective, he paid a very high price for little to no benefit.

He's announcing we're near the end despite the fact that the daily updates of cases isn't showing a downward trend. If the numbers are going down and the high numbers we're seeing is due to catching up on backlog results, then they should say do. Otherwise, it appears that they don't have a clue.
