Mexico does something similar to that: foreigners can obtain a long-term lease to oceanfront property, up to 100 years, but they cannot own it outright.

Day III ... still no post from John backing up those claims of rubber bullets and tear gas ... 🤣🤣😎

Yes ... keeps people in their jobs, and keeps people chilled out.

I saw a New York Times story this morning that said a poll taken in the U.S. reported that 2/3 of the respondents said they would be hesitant to take an airline flight until a vaccine was available for Covid-19. As for cruise ships? Forget it, they’re now viewed as floating death traps.

As a vaccine likely is more than a year away, the Bahamas must prepare for the awful reality that it will lose next year’s tourist season as well as this year’s.

Hey, John ... still eager to see the links to those news stories about the U.S. using rubber bullets and tear gas to clear the spring break beaches ... eh?

Clamshell says...

Or, just nod off ... 💤💤💤💤💤

Respectfully, John, I did not call you a liar. I simply said the situations you described did not happen. There’s a difference between disputing a fact and calling somebody a liar.

I’m in the U.S. right now, have been following this closely. And before I posted, I searched for news stories of rubber bullets and tear gas used to clear the beaches at spring break. I found none. I challenge you to post a link to them, right here. Should be easy if you say they’re out there.

As for the guy on the bus, again: If he had simply followed the police officers’ orders, he would not have encountered any further problems.

I’ll be eagerly looking for those links to the attacks you’re claiming. The only one I found occurred in South Africa, not the United States.

Your turn ...

There was no use of rubber bullets or tear gas to clear teens or anybody else from any beaches in the US at spring break. Simply never happened.

In the bus incident, the passenger got roughed up because he refused to follow police directives, repeatedly, to get off the bus because he wasn’t wearing a mask.

This is all bad enough, it would be helpful if we all stuck to what’s true. Respectfully, thanx.
