You conveniently forget the UK warships that come in behind hurricanes and help immediately Like after Dorain, or after Irma, or after Andrew and many more times. But they don't show up per you.
The Government may not want to get involved in the geo-political fray, but it will have no choice. Yet again the world is being split between two (at least) parties. Hope we choose the better side for us.
And just like the boaters, Bahamians can chose not to pay the visa and not go (well they can still go on police certificate). However at a guess if 50% of boaters don't come here, and 50% of Bahamians don't get Visas, we will be more affected.
They should also allow anyone to open up a gaming location. It is wrong that only 8 companies can operate and then use those funds to compete against all other companies.
Of two minds on this. On the one hand change happens, and maybe there should be a limit of time that these covenants can be applied. On the other hand i have to ask if the buyers weren't aware of these covenants when they purchased? Would the property have been sold for more if there were no covenants? If they would have been sold for more, then maybe they should give the development company the difference?
They are working to draft a new law which will be the same as others on the books, but makes it look as though they are doing something. Then once passed no one will follow it. Until the next accident and so on.
"If foreign employers don't like black domestic workers, they shouldn't be here" What about the Bahamian Employers who also don't like Black Domestic Workers? As there are plenty of those too
Theres plenty homes on the market, off you go and buy. Or is that just talk from you. And yes every country can make their own laws and fees. But if they make them too high people don't visit so you don't make as much. Lets see how this plays out. If they still come, then great we have made more and people are still employed. If not we have lost money and all the people involved in that industry (it si thousands) are about to have a much harder life. Where is the studies to show that this price won't cause a drop in visitors? There is none as they didn't do one. They just picked a number and are hoping.
