The Bahamas is charging the Cruise ships a fee per ton to dispose garbage (tipping fee). That fee is way below what they would pay in Miami or FLL. So again, the accounting for the Govrnment only has a revenue side, they don't care about a proper handling of garbage once on Bahamian soil. Am sure the people setting this on fire get paid by the Government.
ok we allowed cash for gold: people get shot over a gold chain. Now we want to establish web shop and regularize them? The Bahamas has not idea what will happen. Go to the web: Mafia like gangs in Russia already took notice of the opportunity. We will go straight back to the dark ages of Piracy.
good luck. solar will not happen in the Bahamas. not in our life time and not as long as PGC and cronies dream big about hitting the jackpot with Oil in the Bahamas. Nothing that makes common sense, flies in the Bahamas. Had we introduced solar at the beginning of the BEC debate, this country would make money by doing nothing, right up the alley for most of us.
well, am not sure Mugabe will be Fred's best friend given their differing views on the gay cause, but maybe we want to offer Asylum to the crooks in charge in Venezuela? At least they will bring all the stolen money and cheap oil to the Bahamas.
