Lots of entrepreneurs and small-business employees are on forced and unwanted vacations, just when when they expect to be working their hardest.
There are fewer and fewer U.S. dollars floating around Nassau.
With the traditional high season started Nov. 15, we are into make-or-break time, with most Bahamians looking for extra as the holidays loom with food and gifts to buy, but with things looking rather bleak unless there’s a sudden and massive turnaround.
Most people seem to get and understand the message here.
The big exceptions seem to be the unions. Just when it would be reasonable to expect Bahamians to be on their best behaviour, looking to entice tourists and make sure they’re happy, the very people vital to the heart of the industry decide to spite their neighbours or certainly give the appearance of it.
Sickout at Bahamasair. Wildcat at Atlantis. General foolishness at BEC.
That should certainly make those few dollar-spinners wandering town happy they chose The Bahamas over the myriad of other sunshine destinations as the weather turns nasty up north.
Maybe that kind of welcome will persuade people when they get back home to talk friends and relatives into heading to these islands.
What happened to common sense? God suddenly run out of it when he made the latest few batches?
Talk about cutting off your nose.
