without a LUPAP this is all just posturing and time wasting. new developers are seeking audience with the PM's office when they should really be wooing the nearby community and stakeholders as required by the Planning and Subdivision Act 2010 which clearly places the approval authority with the local town planning committee and not the opm. check the recent event of HTDC overruling and negating a business permit approval which attempted to circumvent and get it from Nassau. I am not making this up, but no one wants to face teh music as it creates havoc for the monetary status quo of Nassau Overlords getting all the power and prestige.

its called forced labour. no wait, that's not the right word, its strongarming? no its just plain "my way or the highway" but hey lets give ourselves a pat on the back. it still takes 6 to 12 months to open a personal bank account...

I still want to know why?!

silly. if employers do not pay in the currency and the grocery store does not accept the currency then maybe they need to spend some time learning how the economy actually works instead of sitting in an ivory tower dictating. Blockchain is nothing new and not complicated, large corporate retailers have been managing inventory across thousands of stores using bit chain since the early 2000s. too much booksmart not enough streetsmart maybe?

the free market will always fill the gaps. i saw screw em. let aunty Euro implode with absurdity. I am slowly starting to understand why Brexit happened.

will not happen in my lifetime. only the wealthy are concerned about consequences

Pintard sounds like a career politician no to be confused with a career criminal. He lacks the everyman-credibility.

hipocrit

funny, all these maneuverings and backroom meetings when there is no LUPAP as mandated by the subdivision bill 2010. the law clearly states that the OPM cant approve anything yet here we are still going this road which is now clearly illegal according to the 2010 law. But who am I?

So basically the lazy BS attitude of the Bahamas Gov't is causing the rest of us hardship. Well done. well done. This sentence is a misnomer that speaks volumes about this petty issue. "The Bahamas could also be subjected to sanctions that add to the time and cost of conducting transactions with European financial institutions, companies and clients, hurting competitiveness and the ease of business." Every single Bahamian reads this and thinks "Well, they can't make it any worse than it already is.". opening a bank account in the Bahamas takes 6 to 12 months minimum. Tell me i'm wrong please.
