This ftx-sbf Scandal is a Spider’s Web with numerous connecting strands to all number of people around the Globe for Journalists to investigate and follow … and hopefully in the process achieve “Justice” for as many defrauded victims as possible.

Embarrassing … particularly as those of slave descent are for the most part better off than they would have been if their ancestors had remained in Africa. However, if insisted upon, Perhaps reparations could take the form of whoever wishing to return receiving a one-way travel voucher on British Airways. It would truly be interesting to see how many of us would rush to the Airport to take up the offer, never to return … I doubt any … and in the process the question of reparations would be answered once and for all without further fanfare.

Do not understand how “Comments” are permitted on this Story, but not that announcing the newly self anointed Prime Minister of Abaco, which would seem far more interesting

Put the Statue back … history is history and if not for Columbus, none of us would be here today, nor Blackbeard, Woods Rogers, Sir Harry Oaks, Pop Symonette, Sir Sidney Poitier, PM Pindling, Sol Kerzner and others no longer here.

Would again appear Ray is way ahead of our Local Crew … indeed one is left to wonder what they have achieved to date to justify fees?!?

Clearly exploded due to pressure caused by catastrophic failure of this uncertified submersible.

The deepest part the Tongue of the Ocean is approx. 6,500 feet, which is undoubtedly seriously deep, but the Titanic sits in 12,500 feet!!!

No need to “reconsider” anything here, as this is one “not so Golden” Goose that can not realistically afford to go anywhere else due to proximity and cost of fuel.

The Sponsorship ideas suggested have already been implemented … just attend any major Regatta to see. Reality is this is a “costly” Sport (far more so than a Cricket Bat & Ball it replaced as the National Sport) … in particular “Class A”, where a new Boat with several sets of Sails will cost approx. $200k … and then at least $25k a year to maintain with a single set of Sails (Main & Jib) that have to be replaced every few years costing approx. $12k each. All this for less than 10 hours of usage a year! Unless funded by Government for cultural and touristic reasons, Private Sponsorship is the only alternative, and as such, he who writes the cheque, dictates the terms, albeit there still remain (at least for now) several “unsponsored” Class A Boats, thanks to the financial backing of their wealthy owners.

It would seem we are trying hard to kill yet another Golden Goose … what no one seems to appreciate is that these Mega Wealthy Investors are few and far between and we are very fortunate to have attracted them, as with such extreme wealth, they have options … and more importantly they represent “micro-economies” of their own with their assortment of Yachts, Planes, Cars, etc., all of which require Managers, Trustees, Accountants, Lawyers, Captains, Pilots, Contractors, Landscapers and a myriad of other Staff, all of whom must eat, buy fuel, get their hair cut and otherwise support themselves, whereas the Middle Class is merely a Family Unit, which is by no means the same in terms of basic economic impact, so this should not be a discussion about fairness, rather what is in the best economic interest of the Country.
