The govt doesn't know the first thing about how businesses work. If they did, we wouldn't be paying $0.40/kwh for electricity, $5/gallon for gas, and standing in line for hours to renew our driver's licenses. That is without mentioning the billion or so dollars they have to borrow every year.

I'm sure speed was a factor, as was the air temperature, and the type of vehicle, and the fact that it was nighttime, but the primary cause was running off the road in to a wall. Speed alone has never killed a single person in the history of ever. In fact, we are *all* moving at roughly 67,000 miles per hour right now, perfectly safely.

But that would mean having to have a functional public transit system, and removing the exorbitant duty rate on motorcycles and scooters. It'll never happen. Stop expect the govt to make sensible decisions, choosing logical, proven solutions instead of trying to funnel money to their friends and family.

This. It is about as effective as making crime illegal.

When has the church ever been a good reference for what society should do? They have historically persecuted, murdered, and imprisoned anyone who dared to disagree with them and their ignorant, backwards thoughts.

If we had trusted the church, and not free thinkers, we'd still think the world was flat, and not understand gravity. The modern world we live in owes it's very existence to heretics and apostates.

Meanwhile, in the civilized world, you can walk up to a booth at a concert and buy whatever sort of THC or CDB enriched product you'd like for a few bucks in a safe, controlled environment. Do these politicians realize it is 2024? Alcohol and tobacco are far, far more dangerous than weed.

Cruise ships are only in port during the day.

At least in my lifetime, daytime is usually when there is a sun in the sky. With a sun in the sky, you can produce solar power.

Why in the hell would we be burning more fossil fuels for this? The argument for solar not being a good fit for The Bahamas is the storage aspect, as our demand peaks in the evening, after the sun has set. Cruise ships pulling their load during daylight hours make solar an ideal match.

Unless this is just another cash grab by some connected individuals.......

You really are a POS, aren't you?

Can you really blame them? A country known for a less than welcoming attitude towards anyone who is different, goes missing. Of course they are going to report on it. Maybe if we weren't a nation of racist, homophobic bigots, other people wouldn't perceive us as racist, homophobic bigots.

When are we going to take marine safety seriously? Jet skis everywhere with untrained operators. Tour and charter boats running right up to the beach, on plane, where there are swimmers and snorkelers. This is what, the third person to be struck and killed by a boat this year alone? Where is the ports dept? Where is the RBDF?
