You know if we had a government with a concept of Plan and sense, maybe the redevelopment of Nassau wouldn't be such a royal mess.
That district has been sitting empty for more than a decade now. For all the Cruise Industry we have tenant were/are leaving and vacating. The Building weren't being upkept.
We aren't the only old city to have urban decay like this, In London the had the Dockland. Which was turned into a massive Financial and Residential District. Many of these buildings and our city was built to serve the resident of the city.
When we made our downtown into nothing more than a cruise ship theme park, Residents moved away, Businesses that served the resident shut down.
How about instead of knocking everything down we use some of this space for Urban Housing.
Now I don't often agree with Munroe's opinions a lot, but he is correct in saying that this guy actions should be punished.
You can't destroy national/historical monuments just because they hurt your feelings or because they are associated with colonialism. If you want it gone file a petition or protest, not be some vandal.
**This entire countries History, Society, and Culture is associated with our Colonial Past**. If we are going to break up a statue for showing Columbus, are we going to rename Shirley Street, Stapledon, and Matthew Town because they share their name with Royal Governors?
What about the Dundas or Gregory Town, or Dowdeswell St?
The funnier thing about it is it was put there by fmr slaves. Furthermore, just because homeboy have a statue doesn't mean everyone thinks he's great lol. He isn't a Marcus Garvey, that statue was doing literally nothing to him.
There is nothing wrong with Early Elections, the problem is that our system has no rules for fair governance. In other countries you're allowed to register before/after an early election is called but in our country we bar people.
If we got some electoral reform maybe it would be fairer, but that's the same type issues as the FOIA (The Freedom of Information Act). We get told it is unfair, we get promised change and we don't see it.
If you close them down, that state essentials will be controlled by a private monopoly. They'll hike up the prices and we consumers won't have a say nor alternative.
This is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. Like I just taken aback. Instead of they crack down and regulate/license the industry properly, they want to film P0rn.
Put heavy regulations on the operators who refuse to acquire licenses and create a clear designated area for jetski operators to be rented from.
This is all types of nonsense, summarized in this article.
I find it ridiculously humorous how the Environment Minister can urge against spreading panic when the concern is about a lack of transparency from his department. He should do his job properly/thoroughly if he doesn't want the negative consequence.
Secondly, Why the hell is Wayne Munroe citing Aisha Bowe on the safety of these craft in our environment. She is an aeronautics expert, not an environmental expert. She is a valuable consultant but can't be considered a source for confirmation.
Considering that Ms. Bowe may be on Space X's payroll.
Furthermore, Whether or not if this incident has to do with the agreement signed or not, SpaceX should be considered liable for damage. If it is discovered that they did causes damages, they should be fined. Any sensible government would have laid down the standard that, companies cannot dump their garbage or pollutants in our country without accountability.
Growth in the Cruise Industry doesn't provide high return to GDP of the country due to the structure and lack of taxes on Cruise Ship companies. So any growth in the Cruise Industry will only provide lack luster returns in economic growth.

So, by opening a little study center on ocean cay, that makes the damage to 1000's of reefs across the country.
Lmao, the need to pay up. A 5% Environmental Fee on all voyages in our waters.
Because the money that goes into these research centers don't match the profits or damages being made.
