Now that is interesting! So if I did something wrong in the past you can penalize me for it, even though the law under which you are penalizing me was not in existence???
I am checking out in the same store as everyone else. I am not at one of the exclusive stores. People are bringing cardboard boxes and old bags. No complaints though.
Maybe they are thinking, what if Nassau took a direct hit by a storm that was as strong and lasted as long as Dorian?
1929 - **"At 00:30 UTC on September 25,[8] the intense hurricane passed over Nassau with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (233 km/h);[5] the capital city was within the calm of the eye for two hours. The next day, it crossed Andros Island south of Fresh Creek, moving at 2–3 mph (3.2–4.8 km/h),"**
Dorian was 40 mph stronger and stuck around for an extra day during a King Tide.

Under his administration he added another $225,000,000.00 ($100,000,000.00 for new aircraft + $125,000,000.00 in operating losses) of debt to Bahamasair. Now that is some progress!
He added one third of its total debt in just 5 years.
Shut it down. We, the Bahamian taxpayer, are bleeding money.

Haven't heard any complaints. Seems that the large majority of us understand the reason for the plastic ban and are supporting it.
Ours is a beautiful country and though we don't always show it, we do love and care for it.
