tribanon 4 years ago on Port: Breakwater woes threaten harbour crisis

Are you kidding?! What we really need are stop-over tourists who arrive by air, stay at our hotels and resorts and quite often shop and dine at non-hotel operated business establishments around our country. They each spend on average 20 times what the sea arrival visitor spends. And in case you haven't noticed, the very greedy and unscrupulous cruise ship companies have been allowed by our corrupt politicians to move to the all-inclusive model on land for their passengers. We get stuck with the costs of their smoke stack pollution and irreparable damage to our seabeds, not to mention the shiit and contaminants they dump into our seas.

GodSpeed 4 years ago on Sandilands patient dies by suicide

Those Sandilands nurses don't care if the patients kill themselves, because less work for them. How exactly did the patient manage to commit suicide anyway when they're supposed to be under the supervision of the nurses.

Nearly all of the nurses in this country are obese, unprofessional, and lack proper training, they only show up to collect their paycheck and couldn't care less what happens to the patients!

Worse still Minnis himself doesn't give a shiit about the poor helpless elderly and mentally ill people in our country.

... and just like that, there goes the rest of our Crown land. Perhaps it's best to just rename it Creole land, one time, instead of fooling ourselves? Wonder if any other countries got the deal we got in 1973? You can have your country, but you can't have its land (if you're a Bahamian).

concerned799 4 years ago on ‘Overdue at BPL? Call to make payment plan’

If customers have the knowledge they can just eternally "work out a payment plan" that pays less than 100% owed, does this not destroy the logic of why anyone would pay their bill?

With the notion/fiction that BPL was now run seperate of the government now out of the window given that disconnections were suspended earlier this year, is not the only path to saving a sound and solvent BPL to privatize it so people know they must pay for electrical service?

Sorry for sounding harsh here, but an insolvent and failed BPL just is not a viable route for this nation to be on. At a certain point the state can not borrow infinite amounts.

John 4 years ago on ‘Overdue at BPL? Call to make payment plan’

BPL must be patient (but not stupid). More people are starting to go back to work and, hopefully, they have listed payment if their BPL bills and other utilities, among their priorities. And full and complete payment will not be instantaneous as many people and families will be digging themselves out of a deep financial hole of which they had little or no involvement in digging. So BPL must allow another six to nine months for consumers to catch up. Nothing like starting to work and starting to pay and coming home from work and meeting your house in darkness. But yes, it is also the consumers responsibility to go in and tell BPL what the situation is and also what their plans are to pay their bills.

tribanon 4 years ago on $580m developer 'stretches to max' for environment

Acknowledging that his project's two sites, collectively covering around 1,100 acres, lie in an area of extreme environmental sensitivity close to the Abaco National Par, and breeding and nesting grounds for the Abaco parrot, Mr Ben-Zur reassured that it made no business sense to disrupt this since it represented "a selling proposition" to attract visitors and clientele.

The quote immediately above is nothing but one big joke coming out of the mouth of yet another unscrupulous and most greedy foreign developer. Our very corrupt PM has given his approval to this most outrageous project which is perhaps the most disturbing example of him allowing the sale to foreigners of our most scarce and precious nonreplenishable resource, i.e. our land. There is no doubt whatsoever that Minnis is putting his own personal benefit and interests way ahead and above the interests of the Bahamian people. This must stop!

These developers just lie through their teeth once they start and get the green light they do what they want and seldom produce the jobs promised. Mean while concessions rob the Bahamian people...heritage is a once off developers come and go...

That would be appropriate karma but would by no means address our corrupt PM treating our country as if it were his to sell as he pleases to unscrupulous and very greedy foreign developers.

Clamshell 4 years ago on $580m developer 'stretches to max' for environment

This is a total con job. Look into the relatively modest current holdings of this “developer” — the idea that they’ll come up with $580 million to pump into South Abaco is preposterous.

The Out Islands — Eleuthera, Long Island, etc. — are blanketed with the skeletons of this sort of pie-in-the-sky proposal. It’s a scam, flat-out, and Neil Hartnell should be ashamed of himself for pimping it without asking any pressing questions. Mr. Hartnell accepts the lies about the financial backing, and when you read closely, you realize this “developer” DOESN’T EVEN OWN THE LAND YET.

tribanon 4 years ago on Spike in cases puts Exuma in measures

Meanwhile other tourist destinations in the Caribbean with superior leadership from their governments continue to eat our lunch with likely lasting implications for the travel habits of both new and repeat tourists. Our most incompetent Minnis is taking the Bahamas off of the map for tourists, and Bahamians really need to start seriously thinking about taking things into their own hands.

Just a disaster...Minnis step down already...you clearly are out of your death...there is not a risk to health services being over run, bodies not piling up - the only thing that is is business debt as guests cancel leaving empty beds and bills..

tribanon 4 years ago on Last-ditch threat to oil exploration

We already know Minnis has turned his back to the Bahamian people on this most important matter. But we would also like to know the names of the other cabinet minister(s) and permanent secretary(ies) directly involved in authorising the oil drilling vessel to enter the territorial waters of The Bahamas.
