How about just opening the damn windows? And do it before it becomes "unbearable"!

And if the A/C people were able to fix it in 30 minutes, why not call them a lot sooner, or work through the 30 minutes instead of grounding and diverting flights?

Or is this one of the air traffic controller's practice runs for some upcoming "go slows"?

Absurd to think how we managed before air conditioning...

SP, clearly you're not interested in facts -- just your own version to justify your ranting. So be it, live in a cloud of stupidity.

rawbahamian, I totally get it, but whose fault is that? We have allowed this to happen over the years. Bahamians didn't want to work in the fields, the gardens or other dirty jobs, so they were happy to have the Haitians do it for them. Now they complain!

No question, illegal (and I emphasise this) Haitians are a problem and a strain on the economy. However, those that are here legally, are entitled to just as much as Bahamians -- except maybe the vote.

But think what Haitians must be dealing with if they are willing to risk a dangerous passage on leaky wooden boats, and accept poor paying jobs (exploitation by Bahamians willing to hire illegals) and to live in squalid conditions in shanty towns. A problem, yes, but partly our own doing.

At the end of the day, they are human beings!

SP, what a mean-spirited post for no reason. Show a little humanity instead of your mean character. Human beings are suffering and you want to make it political. Disgraceful.

Birdie, clearly you are not aware that there are black Bahamians who reside and own homes in Lyford Cay, Old Fort Bay and Albany. Or are you conveniently ignoring that fact?

And as for "their" beach -- I'm sure you're also aware that no one owns the beach in the Bahamas.

Nygard is a criminal and should be treated as such. If he followed the law, there would be no issue. His contempt and disrespect for the Bahamian people is astounding. And you are too stupid to see that you are being used by Nygard as a tool to his ends.

BahamaPundity Mitchell, the other Lyford Cay residents follow the law and do not show the same kind of wanton disregard and disrespect for the country -- either those as guests or as Bahamian citizens. None are above the law, though Mr. Nygard seems to think he is. The residents of Lyford Cay have nothing to fear -- in fact, many welcome the enforcement of Nygard's contempt.

Are you kidding? $2.2 million won't get you anywhere near the ocean at Lyford cay! You might find a fixer upper on a small lot for that.

This should be publicised more and our young Bahamians encouraged to take advantage of the skills and training being offered.

BTW, does anyone see Disney offering to collaborate with the maritime academy to encourage and develop young Bahamians for the cruise ship industry? Oh, they're too busy trying to destroy Lighthouse Point.

Or maybe there were things on the estate that Nygard didn't want found.

Either way, I hope he's thrown in Fox Hill for contempt at today's sentencing hearing.

No! No and NO!

Disney must not be allowed to desecrate yet another pristine area in the Bahamas. Let's look at their Castaway Cay property. What have the done for the Bahamas and Bahamians? A few paltry jobs to clean up after the hordes of tourists leave. Disney has their own staff on the ships and bring them ashore when the ships are in port. So what kind of jobs will they bring to Eleuthera? Is it worth a few low-paying jobs?

And there's no way to make a place "sustainable" with 2500+ people being disgorged from these megaships 4 or 5 days per week. No way!

Disney must go elsewhere -- go find a nice US property in the Florida Keys to destroy and leave the Bahamas alone!
