And since the judgment has already been made against Carnival this government can impose fines based on that judgment precedent. But no, w they hug them in the sunshine and give them their own private port to do more dumping.

And who better to speak about forgiveness than Marlon Johnson. An employee who was forced to resign from a government to private corporation under a dark cloud of improprieties. Left the country and returned under a new government in a post few believed he is qualified. Yet he talks down on people like he is the greater ‘l am’. But knowledge is still lacking.

White history you mean? Your racist mentality is showing. Really!

Economist why do you have to use my name to express your narrow minded thinking and again to attack this country? Can’t you stand on your own two feet and hold your own poison pen? Even the US, with all its resources cannot keep the illegal immigrants out (or the illegal drugs that are killing thousands of Americans). And Donald Trump indicates that some 1 million illegal immigrants enter the US every day. Are you, Economists, suggesting that we line them up and execute them? Or st least be as harsh on them as they are in the Dominican Republic? You write under the name ‘Economists ‘. And one law of economics says workers will be drawn by Economic activity as consumers are drawn by lower prices. So as I have stated in previous posts on the Haitians problem : Fix Haiti and Fix the Haitians problem. Then you go take a history class and find out why they don’t want to fix Haiti.

Ya think? So I guess you are a paper Bahamian trying to gain some mileage calling me ignorant. Prove ya case of refer to your fore parents likewise as ignorant!

Regardless as to how well the article is written, it doesn’t preclude Bahamians from speaking out for the need and desire to protect their country and to preserve their rights as Bahamians. So flush that xenophobia bull crap. Quickly. And even in its impoverished state, Haiti has just as many immigration laws, controls and regulations against foreigners, illegals especially, as does The Bahamas. Don’t let the D Average fool you. And anyone who even suggests The Bahamas should open the floodgates and allow in all and sundry, if only to occupy vacant land should be considered a ‘persona non grata!’ Then dealt with accordingly. They definitely do not have this country’s best interest at heart or that of Bahamians. Why are they trying to deliver this Trojan horse to The Bahamas? Go back to Haiti and create reasons and opportunities for Haitians to not want to leave their own country in mass droves and to not have to invade countries like The Bahamas, illegally and in mass droves and also not to have to risk or lose their lives on the high seas whilst fleeing! Hit the nail on the head and not have to straighten it out after it’s bent ole boy!

If you read my post above, it clearly identifies whom I consider an indigenous Bahamian. And, fortunately (or unfortunately) the same set of people, mostly, who are responsible the Arawaks’ demise are also responsible for 90 percent of the present Bahamians being here. These islands were virtually abandoned after the abolishment of slavery but now that the ‘new value’ has been discovered in them, everyone wants to lay claim and rights to ownership. The mass murdering of our young men over the past decade, among other things, is no coincidence,

> Carnival had a net income of $3.2
> billion in 2018

#Carnival had $3.8 billion PROFIT, after it had paid all its bills including taxes. Yet this government was paying this cruise line to bring passengers to the Bahamas to enjoy our sand, sun and sea. And this cruise line was still dumping illegal contaminants into out waters, including sewerage and plastics and food wastes causing harm to the environment and threatening the country's fishing industry. And how many cruise lines are there? So why is the country's national debt still climbing when these companies are making $3 plus Billion a year. So lets see, there's the space overhead usage fees, the royalties from sand and salt and aragonite and yet the national debt is increasing at near a Billion a year and the average bahamian cannot afford to keep the lights on, even BPL ain't load shading.
