Wonder what those shares are worth today? Obviously a fair value, as the Families are not willing to give these up. ;) Where or where could they ever be...

Tired of being embarrassed? Don't just complain of bad service, citizen Bahamas. Demand better service or Don't Come Back until the Attitude Improves. True, Choice is a luxury for Visiting Tourist, not so much a choice for Citizens... more reason to Demand Improvement.

Sounds like a micro-vatican asperations. Quick to ask much from those who can not afford, all in the name of goodness & salvation in an afterlife. While hoarding their comfort & food in this life. Practice what I preach, not what I do!. Rememeber more wars & battles have been waged in the name of religion & religious fevor. Watch your leaders & councils carefully.

A Pirate Mindset will not discern between corruption & capitalism, or the required morality.

And We wonder Why potential investors recognize the Pirate Mentality of the Politically Elite? !& conveniently stagnant justice system. "Good'Old Boys" Club.

There should be an agreement for training interested Bahamians, if & when found, via direct on the job apprentice activy or technical school support. Understandably, when on a tight schedule, who needs to slow down with a blundering apprentice with F-Grade skills? At least insist on the apprentice passing a set skill level in the appropriate trade. Bahamian, Haitian, or Whomever... Who is not an imigrant? No Lucayans around here to demand priveledge!
What about the Great Bahamian Brain Drain of Government Financed University educated who stay abroad! Are they reimbursing the people for capital spent? Another drying teat.

Amen.

Cabbage palms, the short stature palms commonly found in the Florida & Bahamas Coptic Pine forest, rely on bush fires for propagation. this yearly dry-season event should be common knowledge even in our D Level education, as well as do not burn brush on, a breezy day!
So whyl don't we prepare? Ignorance is No Excuse. Preparing a plan & having equipment ready for these events is a requirement, not much different than for structure fires. Communities should Demand Govt Provide & Govt should Demand Communities Maintain & Train.
Stop waiting for others to do for you; lazy children guaranteed disappointment.

Pirate's World never closes in Bahamialand & Wallstreet.

Hey got to pay for those international travels with friends, family & entourage. How many days working on Bahama ground vs traveling? What is the Return On Investment for each Parliamentarian & Govt. Managers.? Should be a rating! Hell, can't even get a Financial Statement to determine net worth now & later...so much for Transparency.
