Sounds like BREA mean make sure you only giving away garbage land and don't you dear intrude on the commission we plan/suppose to be making soon.

I hope he does. Land Reform or a registered land system will see every square foot of this country surveyed, the owners identified, every charge, mortgage and or debt attached to the land will have to be identified and listed as a matter of public record. It will be a wonderful thing!

Well Quieting title is a process allowed by the Quieting Titles Act, which will have to repealed by parliament. So Ellsworth Johnson himself cannot do away with that.

The govt may pay itself a subsidy? What company are you referring to? I’m not being facetious, I really am curious as to your thoughts. Despite my simplification of the process, I think it will be interesting to find out how many people actual continue when they realize they must take the course:

“While the Access Accelerator is not a direct provider of capital, we will ensure the seamless facilitation of access to capital for our clients.
The Government of The Bahamas has committed $5 million per year for the next five years, a total commitment of $25 million, to be disbursed to Bahamian MSMEs through loans and equity financing. Using the government’s $5 million stake as a guarantee, the Access Accelerator has been able to secure even more in low-cost, guaranteed loans for disbursement. In addition, The Government of the Bahamas has earmarked $250,000 for business development grants to impoverished youth up to the age of 30 from New Providence and $200,000 to impoverished youth up the age of 30 from the Family Islands. These grants – none of which will be for more than $20,000 – will be disbursed according to a stringent regime, including the successful completion of the training and business advisory process, income tests and proof of citizenship. And, among other requirements, the money goes directly to vendors and is not applicable to working”

However, so you think the idea is good but you have a problem with the process, who gets it, what?

I am only speaking about participants who I have spoken to. They were all sole proprietorships or one man shops, a caterer, etc... they didn't really have any staff or were not at the level yet.'

But, I dont know if you are talking about the small business program?

What do you mean paid for registration? I dont know about other islands, but in GB participants seemed to be happy with the program. You have to complete a two week course or something, which teaches you how to prepare a business plan I dont know how many people actually complete it. But I know persons who did it and seemed to think it was helpful and you get your check after.

ppl = *people

My thing is if ppl were only concerned with power wouldn’t they give in to everything just to keep us happy.

I don’t agree with the PM approach to everything.

Everyone is a critic, an expert, and knows how to solve this country’s problem it now seems.

The public administration of this country is far from perfect.

We have bad habits, bad rearing, bad and unreasonable expectations like hypocrites or bipolar children. I say unreasonable because we want the the govt, any govt, to give us everything we want full social welfare but we want to be rich too, we don’t wanna pay any taxes, we popping tags off things and doing funny business when it’s time to pay customs, businesses and merchants are not always practicing fair pricing. Yes, VAT needs to go, but income tax or some other form will have to take its place in my opinion - and the DNA ain’t the first to say. We allow people to lie to us because we don’t wanna hear the truth. We are jealous and envious of people. We wanna demonize ppl when they make something of their lives.

My Miller should do what he feels. But, I think this narrative about not caring for the poor is disingenuous. How can we the populace say we care about the poor and don’t wanna pay taxes. How can we the populace wanna say we just want a better life, but everyone who does a little something for themselves we hate them and act like they owe us something - these are often the same ppl we demeaned and laughed at before their success. That’s problem just a lesson to teach your children. I was told if I work hard and go to school, then I deserve every penny I make. But, I guess I should just be using my twenty’s to have babies and fun because people in this country are delusional. We care about the future and think the opposition telling the truth when they say they gonna remove all taxes some of these people lack of exposure Is a disservice. Michael halkitis said early this year in a guardian article that if the PLP won they were probably going to have to increase vat, but he did say that they wouldn’t have been so aggressive because when people don’t understand they start to reject things.

From MP Miller came last week in house talking about how he can discuss airline registry with his constituents, I was just sighing, more of this class politics. More arrogance, more if you don’t take my ideas I quit - however, I do think some of these cabinet members are arrogant.

But I think it’s easy to point a finger and hide away in tough times, but who is gonna tell us when we wrong.

Nice.

...but i thought Bahamians dont stand on lines, i thought yall say the govt wanna have yall standing in line like beggars, I guess waiting in line in the car is different.
