It is time to accept that we are a truly microscopic country, smaller than most small towns in the US. We cannot afford all of these pointless appointments and silly ceremonies.
We desperately just need to eliminate the idea of taxi plates, and allow drivers to register with ride-sharing apps. Pretty much everywhere else I travel in the world, when I need a taxi, I open an app, push a few buttons, walk outside, and there is a car there waiting for me. I know the timing, I know the costs, and I know the route and can call out the driver if they are trying to run up the meter.
Contrast that to The Bahamas, I've been left waiting for over an hour after asking a hotel to call a taxi. I've had three show up and argue over who's fare it is, and I've had a drivers taking circuitous routes to get a bigger fair.
Agreed 100%. While it is very easy (and likely correct) to stereotype the "typical" pit bull and pit bull owner, if these dogs are banned, they'll just move on to some dog breed in their backyard puppy mills and dog-fighting.
What we need to be cracking down on are those last two items, not the breed of dog. This is a lot like saying we are going to ban Nissan Notes, because they are most often used in crimes.
Now a law requiring all dogs to be spayed and neutered by the time they are one year old - and an enforcement of dog licenses, now that is something I could get behind.
Why the hell are we consulting churches on laws? Are you going to ask the medicine man and the oracle as well? Will rain dances be added to the Ministry of Agriculture's playbook? Will we sacrifice some virgins on an alter downtown in order to decrease the national debt?
