Questions raised over refinery deal
Bradley - he used your PLP job Math.. So this must be a dirty business because there are going to be alot of Bahamians "cleaning" and "serving drinks" at this refinery.....

Oban refinery - ’it makes no sense’
I've been saying this all along.
I have a question. If a legit organisation actually wanted to build a refinery would they hire a boat salesman as VP of Operations?
This whole Oban deal stinks. Minnis is either on the take or he is the laziest PM we have ever had. Either way this is big enough that Minnis should do the right thing and step down. Let an actual leader take over. Maybe then something can actually happen in Freeport.
I also wonder if this Obam deal was meant to distract us from the hotel sales process? Seems that effort has died.
One year in and NOT ONE SINGLE THING ACCOMPLISHED IN G.B. NOT ONE SINGLE THING FOR THE ISLAND THAT GAVE EVERY SEAT TO THIS PARTY OF DO NOTHINGS...
I wouldn't vote for this FNM ever. Especially the Freeport 5. You have ALL let us down and you should all be ashamed of yourselves. You are all incredibly wrong for your silence while Freeport dies. Shame on every one of you...

Far better to look at an LG project or a solar/wind farm to produce alternative sources. In addition, perhaps revisiting fish farming and/ or vegetable/herbs hydroponics could be worth the effort.

The United States will be reducing production of the gas powered vehicle by 30 percent next year and countries like China and India plan to fully eliminate (new) gas powered vehicles by 2020 (two years). So when this facility becomes fully operational the number of gas powered vehicles in the world will be reduced by 50 percent. The electric vehicles also do not require much of the other products this refinery will be producing so it appears the plant will be obsolete before it is completed or, at least, fully operational.

100 days off: Dozens sacked as Lloyd cracks down on work-shy staff
One time ago the public service was labeled as a place where ‘they don’t pay much, but you don’t have ta work hard. And once you get a job dere you ain’t gatta worry about getting fire. You could stay rite there till time fer dey ya give ya one lil pension. You cud even move through out the system without losing seniority.’ But today civil servants want to earn the same pay as they do in the private sector. They want the same benefits and the same recognition. So, of course, they have to be held to the dames standards: Work or be fired!

Sears, you and Obie are both full of shite! Both of you are dismal failures. The sooner the two of you step down from politics, the better it will be for the Bahamas.

The “optics” would be better if everybody — including “da little man” — actually did the work they’re paid to do.

School beatings must be very last resort
How barbaric! Parenting requires a lot of patience, they are children. Their little brains are not even capable of mature behavior. They learn through curiosity and exploring! Parents are to raise their children. That means teach them at every level they go through. Not beat them and destroy their spirit. You wonder why they are joining gangs. Beating in 2018 is unacceptable.

Then they grow up and beat their spouse. All they know is dysfunction and the cycle continues. What they need is education, love and care. Security not fear. I can't believe this is going on.

Govt approves $200m cruise port agreement
Meanwhile countries are realising the detriments of cruise ship ports yet our country is hell bent on selling every island and developing every part of the country... all in return for a few pennies in comparison. What benefits will GB get from this really? Why put it out east? A few construction jobs in short term and a few waiters and bartenders? Is it worth all the damage?

something has got to be seriously wrong with the distribution network. there is no way a single failure should lead to an island-wide blackout. so the root of the problem has to be a lot bigger than 'equipment failure'.

I support an oil refinery however I cannot trust the Government to protect our environment and negotiate a deal that is favorable to all Bahamians.

Blackout - explosion hits island's power
it never ceases to amaze me how many come on here and comment that nobody in BEC / BPL knows what they are doing, that nobody understands proper maintenance , and that nobody has a decent work ethic.....
yet when the subject of foreigners comes up, we all shout "we Bahamians should be doing that".
Let me make my thoughts clear, and remove all your doubts: I'm consistent in my view, that for the most part, we are an entitled society, with a majority of the population being a completely lazy, most are uneducated, have poor work ethic, low skill development, most suffer from Dunning Kruger Effect, and lets not forget dishonest and nasty people. And worst of all possibly, is that most have not and will not do anything to improve things.
So if we want improvement, we need to fire our own people, and bring in people for every area we wish to improve.
Proof is in the pudding, want power, try and find another country with so many problems. Solution, pick a country with a good system, hire them to come and take over. Want education, pick a country, get their people to come manage the whole thing.
Etc
But if you want lazy good for nothing pirates, keep the Bahamian team in place.
Our people are the lowest of the low, lest we compete with total failure states.

"On the heels of this stunning move, FNM Chairman Sidney Collie confirmed yesterday that the party received a petition from voters in Long Island who say they do not want Mrs Butler-Turner to represent them in 2017. Mr Collie would not say how many signatories were on the petition, but he said it, along with the opinions of constituents, would play into whatever decision the Executive Committee makes." This is utter BS. The same lack of transparency that cause you to be in this position in the first place- FNM will NEVER learn. Six people? Twenty people? Who are these people? But more than that THIS is the response to your political beat down? Petty, dumb and painfully obvious. LBT probably knew what was coming from those old heads. Watch what happens...

If you don't agree with the law, then petition to get the law changed...but don't think it shouldn't apply to you just because you disagree with it. I hope the gaming board DOES fine him and use him as an example. It's that very arrogance in the current political arena that has everyone so pissed off, the law applies to the lesser folk, but not the privileged politicians. F* O!!

The only good side to our situation is that these people who are turning the Bahamas into a communist country will have to live in a communist country. Them and their offspring.
