The first thing Government must move to stem the flow of residents from the Family Islands to New Providence. The traditional jobs in retail, hotels can no longer employ everyone. Government should expand the BAMSI initiative and get farms going in the major islands where farmers can be assured their products will be sold and not go to waste. Smaller boutique or family owned hotels should be encouraged and with technology many government employees can now work from the family islands rather than having to relocate to new providence.

Most rappers are manipulated. Most of them have Jewish managers that control their lyrics and get them to sing songs degrading or inciting violence or crime in their own race.

Persons can go online and bid on cars in Japan for under $300.00. So these cheap vehicles have become a disposable item here. People order them, import them, drive them and once they become inoperable they dump them. ANd that is what Japan is also doing. There is so much excess of these vehicles, Japan is just dumping them to make room for newer vehicles. And as long as the economy remains weak and money is tight Bahamians will opt for cheaper Japanese vehicles over other models. And since many have had bad experiences with banks and loans, they would rather do a cash purchase that they can manage and afford.

Jah Cure May be a famous rapper and s popular artist but he knew nothing about planning and hosting a concert of that magnitude.

And some people are actually importing two vehicles of the same model/year and using parts of one to keep the other vehicle running.

In addition to pre inspection, government should also reduce the age limit By two years that the smaller Japanese cars can be imported. Many of the older ones may be running fine when they get here, but once they are involved in an accident or have a mechanical problem, no parts are available for them. So they still end up being parked up somewhere. Parts will still be available for the newer models and the price difference will be less than $1,000.

In other words TAX Bahamians more, Tax foreigners lass

I guess you miss a good part of it

BuJu Banton concert is said to be drawing international guests from as fat as China. Sky Boxes going for as much as $30,000 are already sold out. And there is said to be a surprise guest artist. A chance for the Bahamas to redeem itself?

Tony Blair is calling for the UK to have another referendum to stay in the EU. He says it is better to try to reform the European Union than to exit. Another lawmaker feels that Britain will never be an independent nation under the terms and conditions it will be allowed to leave the EU. But most Brits are concerned about the quality of life for their children and grandchildren if Britain was to remain in the union. Countries like the Bahamas that have the most (natural) resources stand to lose the most by joining organizations like the WTO. One of the requirements is membership nations must share resources they have in abundance with other member nations. Aragonite, fisheries and if oil is discovered....
