Enforcement as a tool in this matter only works if a great majority of vehicle owners have sufficient money in their pockets where they can afford to be fleeced by the insurers who are now charging outrageously high insurance premiums. But that is not the case in our country where the divide between the "haves" and the "have nots" has become huge and the great majority of our population now fall into the bucket of struggling "have nots" who can barely afford to pay for food, medicines, electricity, water, etc.

These amendments to the Road Traffic Act are simply unconstitutional and unenforceable. No government will ever have either the political will or the means to fine, confiscate vehicles or imprison the "have not" owners of vehicles who make up the great majority of our country's population today.

The greedy insurers promoting these amendments to the Road Traffic Act will quickly come to realise that without the eradication of the ever increasing wide spread poverty in our society, their business model is doomed. And the financial institutions making loans to buyers of vehicles also need to re-think their business model against the backdrop of the vast majority of our society who now fall within the bucket of "have nots" with no means to pay outrageously high vehicle insurance premiums.

This sleazy thug continues to be allowed by this corrupt Davis led PLP government to leverage and launder his ill-gotten proceeds of criminal activities in ways that take away many legitimate business opportunities for honest, decent and hardworking Bahamians.

Because of this contemptible thug our country is still without the national lottery so desperately needed to help fund our grossly under-resourced and dysfunctional public education and public health care systems. He has been for decades now pocketing profits from his gaming web shops and other illegal endeavours that should have been going towards the funding of so many more important public projects.

The Bahamian people should never ever forget that the corrupt PLP government led by Vomit Christie with Slo Mo Alfred Sears as AG, legalized the racketeering criminal activities of the numbers bosses notwithstanding the great majority of Bahamians who opposed doing so at the time. And to think the elitist PLP hierarchy and their favoured cronies have the temerity to portray themselves as "progressives" for the Bahamian people. Talk about poppy-cock!!

Typical Shuffling Halkitis. Like Angry Simon, he thinks it's all a "cat and mouse game."

But wealthy fat cats are only willing to play government's silly game for so long before they decide to diversify or re-locate to another jurisdiction leaving the mice to play whatever game they wish to play all by themselves.

The amendments to the Road Traffic Act are blatantly unconstitutional.

Threatening to fine, imprison or confiscate private property is very much the wrong tact for any sensible and reasonable government to take. There are way too many people today who must legitimately choose between buying food or medicine for their themselves and/or their family members, or trying to pay for unaffordable auto insurance premiums.

And the foreign re-insurers who provide outrageously costly insurance for the policies written by local insurers and agents on their behalf are not only responsible in part for the unaffordable premiums but are also a big drain on our country's foreign currency reserves.

The ever increasing number of uninsured drivers with no means to pay sky high auto insurance premiums means the writing is on the wall for auto insurers and auto lenders alike. It's time for all auto owners and drivers to accept the risks that come with driving on our pot-hole laden roads, and simply do away with auto insurance requirements. Besides, most in our society today cannot find an honest, qualified and affordable lawyer to help them out when an auto insurance claim gets denied, which is nearly always the case for the larger third party liability claims.

We are more like Haiti today and I can assure you 99% of the vehicles on the roads down there are uninsured. We need to catch-up to the reality of our country's economic situation today.

Every Bahamian who, during COVID, was deprived of being with a loved one at the time of their passing and then prevented from attending the funeral and burial, or who is now suffering from the longer term serious side effects of the experimental vaccines that they were forced to take for whatever reason, should cringe whenever they see or hear Tyrant Minnis. And the same goes for every Bahamian who lost a loved one in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Dorian due to his gross incompetence and prevention of foreign rescuers and foreign relief aid getting into North Abaco and Grand Bahama on a timely basis. Make not mistake about it, Tyrant Minnis is demonic monster who is arrogant, nasty, cruel, evil and wicked to his very incompetent core.

People who have difficulty reading, writing and doing basic maths should not be piloting aircraft. It's really as simple as that. We have way too many D- educated Bahamians piloting planes carrying passengers as if it is the same as driving a jitney bus with passengers.

I wonder if Bishop Simeon Hall knows that certain Bahamians in the Butler and Maynard families managed to recover most of their CLICO related losses incurred from the investments they had held in annuities that paid them interest at 7% per annum or more for many years prior to CLICO's foreign and local operations going belly-up. The fraudulently preferences here were kept secret by the governments and insurance regulators concerned both here and abroad.

Disappointed Pintard said little if anything about the following matters he would need to address if he is successful in becoming the next PM:

- The need to significantly reduce the grossly over-bloated size of our very costly and unproductive government.
- The need to address our illegal alien problems.
- How he proposes to address our country's cost of energy woes and BPL's immediate problems.
- How he plans to address our country's growing potable water problems and the bleeding of the W&S Corp by way of the roller coaster ride of debt build-ups to a US publicly listed company that must be periodically paid down by increasing our national debt.
- His willingness to initiate a public investigation of those Bahamians identified in US court proceedings who seem to have engaged in criminal activities related to the sbf/ftx/Alameda debacle.
- His position on sending Bahamian troops or other Bahamas aid to Haiti in connection with the US sponsored proxy war that President Ruto of Kenya is prepared to be the poster-boy for in exchange for debt relief to his own impoverished East-African nation.
- His willingness to forthrightly address the unfair blacklisting tactics employed by the OECD and others at great cost to our nation, which tactics are for the purpose of addressing their own wasteful government spending, high taxation issues, aging populations, and dwindling tax base.

There are many other pressing matters and issues I could add to this short list, not least of which is the need unshackle The Bahamas from the debt traps that have been set for us over the past several decades by both the ChiComs and the US through its alphabet soup agencies like the IDB, World Bank, IMF, etc.

Getting rid of outside toilets is easy. Pintard really needs to speak candidly about what he would have a government led by him do to address the more important problems of the day and future.

This sleazy contemptible thug has for decades now been allowed to suck our nation dry with his illegal operations supported by some of the worst elements within the governments of both the Bahamas and US.

Scummy Sebas continues to be a major contributor to the growing divide between the "haves" and "have nots" in our society. He is responsible for much of the gambling addiction among poorer people and for our under-resourced and dysfunctional public education and public health systems not having the benefit of the profits they so desperately need from a national lottery.

Reporters like Youri Kemp and Neil Hartnell really need to keep turning the heat up on this most dangerous thug and his crony current and retired government officials who aid and abet him in all of his illegal endeavours.
