There is always someone else to blame...and in this case, all of our present problems are fully traceable back to the slave master and the slave trade...gonna make all this noise and fuss because you are unable to look beyond your past and take charge of your future. Everything is about how you wronged my great great great great great grandparents and I'm socially stunted because of it since. The only people who are going to make any money out of this are the lawyers...or are we going to pay every person in the world of slave ancestry 1 buck out of this, because at the end of the day that is the most the common man is ever going to see from it...simply a legal ploy to line some lawyers pockets.
Are you going straight back to the source? You need to be pursuing the history and connection back in Africa that enslaved the people and sold them onto the slave trade that then took them overseas...oh wait...silly me, they have no money...let's chase after and annoy someone else who does for something that is generations old done and past.
Most idiotic statement ever by BA. I would LOVE for an independent analysis to be done by a non-government organization. I think people will be shocked and the government will be caught out in a bold face lie about the hazards of this fire. They are just saying what the people who drink that yellow koolaid are willing to hear...don't worry man...just a bit of harmless smoke...carry on...take a nice deep breath, you'll be OK. Bullcrap!!
I sure hope so TOV...I would LOVE to see Freeport and GB take a MUCH bigger role in how the overall Bahamian economy is structured, get people out of Nassau!! It has everything going for it as stated above, just lack of drive and followthrough by the higher ups and things fizzle. Push for indusry and other favourable enterprises to be housed in Freeport.
a year or two max...then it will implode and some other poor soul will buy it and GB will be revitalized AGAIN...for a couple years.
So sad...Grand Bahama with it's size and infrastructure and it proximity to the US should be the booming capital of the Bahamas...shipping to and from the US is cheaper, flights shorter, land mass greater, more space to move about and expand...but instead that poor island is a decaying dump and 90%+ of the population of this country cram themselves onto Nassau like sardines in a can.
From what I understand, unless you have been issued a summons to appear before the court, or issued a ticket on the spot for a traffic violation, unless they serve you with a summons within 6 months, that ticket is null and void...she got arrested for 2005?? Maybe she did have a proper summons and/or ticket...in which case, yeah, she broke the law in that case, but if the cop at the end of the traffic stops tells you they will have a summons served, and you don't get anything in 6 months...that ticket is dead.
Nope...an awful lot of people are doing the most basics of accounting just to get the essentials done and not get robbed blind by someone fudging the books...even people with the more sophisticated systems in place, are clueless at the moment as to how to advise their software developers to start preparing their systems for VAT because the government hasn't given us anything. Ask someone on the VAT board, if they have any forms, or any set ups in place for the 'automated' payments...one thing to bear in mind, when they sign VAT into law, the government has open access to your bank account. The amount THEY feel is the right amount to be paid by VAT will be automatically deducted from your bank account payable to the government. All your books and accounting, will now be open for the government to pick through and criticize. It's going to be a whole new ballgame out there, many businesses will close, and the common man unless he eats nothing but the bread basket items the government are going to dangle in front of your noses, will be paying a lot more for his food, housing, and utilities.
Just using simple math...that's some serious inflation, even for a boat builder...2 years ago, 120 Mil for 11 boats...so 10.9 Mil average...2 years later, 149 Mil for 9 boats...16.5 Mil average per boat...DAMN!! I'm in the wrong business!! Over a 50% increase in cost over 2 years.
