Don't panic!!. And don't walk in your brain either. It is well known that competition is good. It improves absolutely everything in benefit of the mass or vast majority of the people,the consumers.
All investors should be welcomed,the bad and the good,they are investors. Let's them come!!, Walmart,Home Depot,Amazon,Sears,anyone!. Just make sure,Quality goes first,even before anybody including those who are native people.,Quality.!

I don't like to hear the disrespectable expression : "Shit Hole Country" ,we are saturated with people in directional position with BS-degree (Bachelor Science-degree),it supposed to be like described above but in fact is Bull S#h#t-degree. One sees them everywhere in public office including the big belly ones from the RBPF just to mention one of so many. They don't know what they are doing and don't acknowledge "The Pledge to the Country" as ONE,superior to,any other pledge,the one who mandate them to STOP ✋ the wrongdoing and continue what is lawful .

Well said Mudda-Sic !. Your opinion really make sense,you're a real agent of democracy. This place really needs people like you; nowadays everybody is walking backued and is good to see someone walking forwards.
Be encouraged & courageous!. Don't allow nobody to intimidate you,this is your place of origin which need to be free of predators and corrupt,malicious people seeking to perpetuate themselves in a long -stationary abuse of the public pulse.

This bill is just another blunder that will beef up the wrong mentality. "Not less than the plants...,and the stars,we have the right to exist". Now, in the middle of all this mess of "Nationality" which is "An obstacle to human development" and should be something of global consensus trigger by and among global leaders to erase or eliminate " The so called Nationality ". The truth nationality is what you work for,the things that one earns with the 😓 sweat of your forehead acknowledging at all time that all of us are humans with "A Place Of Origin" that we all have in common and this is unchangeable.
A human being,at this date & time in the twenty first century,should not be illegal 🚫 anywhere EXCEPT in your house without your consent. Human beings have place of origin,not country. And none of us should own any country. Not event The Qween of England.
We may own a house,a car,a bycicle ,a lot ,etc, inside the country,if one wants to sell those belongings,earn by your hard labor ,a sign: "On Sale" must be placed on those items and sell them tomorrow or anytime,they are your. But the country is not your.! you can't sell it .!! This beautiful archipelago of The Bahamas is a vivid example to pioneering a turning point to humankind not only on Planet Earth but also in the entire Universe by proposing a date to the global communities to be the first to open border under the condition that all countries do the same simultaneously and to have a mix-police according to ethnicity determined by census done by the department of statistics to patrol for public safety and being focus on protection of private property.
Only under those circumstances we will start to appreciate and respect others people language,religion,culture and differents places of origin.

This is a very serious issue. In reality,we have more sandiland's patients outside,on the streets of New Providence than inside the mentioned treatment facility,and in part, it's because bad policy and approach from the Police and EMS personnel failure to assist,properly, patien' family members in terms of teaming up efforts of making easy to carry a well known psychiatry patient to get treatment before an unnecessary fatality take place. It is a very lazy attitude shown by those two,local organizations when it comes to give assistance to any family in need of that kind of help.
A crazy person can easily sign out or escape from the Ambulance, a & e, sandiland's Eloy Penn ward or even PMH. All of that without any concern from competent authority to correct or avoid the wrongdoing.

So many loans.
Was VAT Created to pay the external debt ?
What is the current plan regarding vat-money?
How the Bahamian Dollar will have its real value internationally? IDB is only indebting this country in cohook with local politicians in power.
The list of loans activities to the state from IDB is growing unstoppably.
They are damaging the Bahamian future generations ' wellbeing.

"Well done,it's better than well said"
Good effort.! Now we need tangible results.

Yea, right.! Let's see it.
It sounds good. In The Bahamas,Quality should goes first,not Bahamian.
Government also needs to tackle corruption and make sure all of the cabinet members complied with the "Public Disclosure Act" and do Surprise,randomly independent audit to any management of Public Funds.
Make also sure "Earmark Money" is used with pulcritud or clean hands from any Statemen .

If we dollarized the Bahamian economy,there is no changes of anything internally for any local and we still don't know where the vat money is going because while this administration is in power,they failed to provide transparency as they said would do when they were in opposition. The fact of the matter is that they are collecting HUGE amounts of money from locals "Tax PAYER" and from Mr. Sear's stand point it's not clear if they are charging foreigners equally like locals.
The most important thing,right now, is transparency.
Where the vat money is going ? And how much are they really collecting? $3.00 Millions daily? Or $2.5 Millions ?
Now we know it's something like that,without any doubt.
Corruption is taking much more than that everyday and we need not only an architect for this newly economy but we also need some Patriot able to be on the right side of history by suffraging some justice and honoring the real pledge to the country or nation and not the pledge invented by the PM (Prime Minister).
We need Bahamian men with courage ready to face this challenge appropriately.
This is not "little money". It's something HUGE .!! to solve all kind of public concerns. We are talking about billions.!!! Only from VAT.
Let's do the math pls. Anyone,anybody....

I am with you,Stoner.! Wonder what move all these noise and drama. What wrong with expanding your land,the one that you bought because it was not a gift,he pays for it. This man deserves to have fun,old but full of life,white hair and plenty money. How he got so much? Other places like DR expelled him after finding out by the year 1982.
Now he only wants to have fun and he is paying millions for it.
Leave him alone,! He gets into his other rich neighbors ' nerves.
