Both the BORCO and South Riding Rock Terminals are 50+ years old … OBAN proposed the most modern facility in the Hemisphere, but Politics got in the way and cost The Bahamas the largest investment in the Caribbean … not to mention protection against the current Energy Crisis by having the largest storage facility in the Region … oh well, who needs high paying jobs and low electricity and gas prices when you have mounting National Debt serviced by Sunshine and Rum!
Proud to be Bahamian … but Lord knows we have issues … and “kicking the can down the road” for a near half century is not a recipe for either resolving such issues, much less progressing the Country.
Hopefully we will get our act together, as we are “all” deserving of so much more given how fortunate we are to call this Country Home and what in turn it has the potential to offer the World.
Like Trump, he was a good Leader based on Policies, but again like Trump, many simply became obsessed with his personality and personal indiscretions, begging the question in both the US and Uk as to what is more important … in the US the Answer is now obvious … let us see how the UK gets on over the course of the next year, as that is all it took for the US to effectively collapse on so many levels.
Caught in a National Park with Female Breeding Crawfish out of Season … and then evading Authorities … if ever there was an “open and shut” case, this would appear to be it … let us see how well our Police Department coordinates with the Attorney General’s Department to prosecute … and then how seriousness our Courts are about enforcing our Laws and protecting our natural resources … I recall “Bahamians” losing their Boats over undersized Crawfish “in” Season, so at the very least the same has to happen here as a bare minimum, otherwise we really are a joke of a Country and we might as well all start spearing Crawfish tomorrow, as continuing to adhere to August 1st as the start of the Season is clearly only giving others an advantage to harvest with impunity.
An unsettling trend appears to be developing … we are touting to be more Investor Friendly than ever BUT on the other also appear to be taking issue with existing and pending Investors more than ever. Given that we need “every” investment more than at any other time in our near 50 year post Independence history, it is imperative that “good” reasons be openly disclosed to the Bahamian people for “any” denied investment.
Being stranded “on land” for a mere “2” hours approx. 1,000 feet from the Island you originated from on a nice Bahamian day is hardly a crisis … anyway … pleased he got Home safely to cook dinner for his Boss!
Precisely … Agreements with the Government apparently mean little … now the Treasure is “found” … we will will take it from here … and you can go elsewhere if you don’t like … but we don’t think you will as you are “too invested” to leave, so you will accept our “new terms” … this is a very, very scary mindset for a Country dependent on Foreign Investment … although Blackbeard would would truly applaud such strategy!
Classic “bait and switch” … award a Contract … once Location revealed … yank the Contract … deflect by blaming prior Administration … far more cost effective approach to Treasure Hunting than incurring years of manpower in historical research followed by sourcing and mobilizing specialized equipment.
