A broke FNM & PLP make me happy & improve the standard of our democracy 3-fold. A government without them, cut corruption down by 10 fold.

They say that those who failed to understand the past are destined to repeat it. Now Baystreet Boys gave way to Sunshine Boys all the same. Unfortunately, in our triumph of racial and colonial "justice" we got distracted. We failed to realize that it is the elite, whether White or Black who has helped their pockets at our expense.

Man, too many traffic accidents these days especially those with pedestrians. Yet we always fail to ask ourselves what we can change or do differently to change it. Maybe lower speed limits, vehicle restricted streets, properly labeled crossing point, and constructing street that make it safer for pedestrians & cyclist.

We don't even have a proper bus system yet we want a national operated healthcare system.

Not that a NHS is a bad thing, I want one too. But it's clear we need a government with at least some basic planning and management skills to move to that level.

If the government was serious they would have consolidated resources and built a new block of apartments on the former Mudd/Peas. Not single plot low density house, for each family.

And no a triplex is not what I mean by apartment, rather European style 3-5 story buildings which can house many at once. The government has wasted the donations, time, effort towards rebuilding Abaco so foolishly. Buying domes to only trash them later.

Any semi competent and educated planner can do better, unfortunately the political class make to much dang decision despite knowing jack all. Handing out money to rich investors & second homeowners first instead of native Abaconians.

Why do we have idiots who know nothing about construction let alone reconstruction and project management making these decisions. Why didn't the government step in directly to rebuild home, keep taxes on every thing that wasn't necessary for survival or rebuilding, then offer aid sub sequentially to anyone who is still homeless.

These fools literally cannot manage anything. A botanical Garden, an airline, or a hotel. Things can't work in this country because everything is so inefficient.

If we get blamed for FTX's collapse the only logical conclusion is that we deserve authority over liquidation. If it was a joint failure between American and Bahamian system then it would reflect via the assets.

They think smiling and looking pretty, I mean ugly is a strategy. Fools I pray that this isn't Sandals repeated.

Ok, something is irregular but you don't know when it happen. This would seem to suggest that you don't have evidence that it happened conclusively at all.

I don't understand should men not try to stand up for women or not. Because on minute I hear that protecting a women is evil and the next we must do better.

Either you want men to be the providers or you don't. Either you want men's protection or you don't. You cant just call men predators and rapist then shout when you aren't helped.

Men are quite capable of being other things, however it up to women to make the choice whether said man they choose is gonna treat them well. Don't allow yourself to get swing.

While, I can laugh at the word metaphysically,(never knew existed) I must just must say that the government needs to be careful. We all saw what happened with the Sandals Carbon Monoxide Scandal. People started saying all types of things, they didn't know because they were being led on by the US media. So unless the government is really interested in being transparent, working hard, and actively communicated the facts to prevent any foreign media slander they need to drop the case.

I can see the US government & friends putting on the gloves for this already. I don't care personally if the democrats or republicans get frustrated with the proceedings but I understand what they are willing to do to get their way. I find it possibly elating that for once Bahamian law stands supreme and those that cheat us don't get to run to Delaware or New York.
Although, considering the Baha Mar affair I have my doubts, although considering the publicity of the case that wouldn't be allowed to happen.
