The fact is many of the Chinese who will be traveling are retired workers who will be cracking the nest eggs so Trump’s madness will not affect them. And because of his economic assault on China and other nations , many may choose not to visit the US. To the benefit of the Sh!thole nations that the redneck president has also chosen to attack. And if he is successful in rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem, the Bible says leave everything in your house and run into the wilderness for that hour of judgment has come.

And remember the entire city of Freeport needs revitalization. Reopening the hotel with no input from the port authority and new New injections into The Freeport economy is truly beating a dead horse

When you make stupid decisions even after being given sound advice they you are a self professed idiot. Everyone knows the millions and millions the government lost when it was in the hotel ownership business. And it never made a profit. Companies that leased the hotels would run them down into empty shambles, then abandon them. And when the government hired management companies, they would pad their bills, pay themselves hefty salaries and benefits and even bonuses and requiring the government to pump more and more millions into the properties. Hubert Ingraham’s idea to get rid of the hotels in the 1990’s was one of the best decisions made by a government. Minnis idea to go back and reopen this financial sink hole begs logic. Common sense even. As a certified accountant, KP Turnquest was supposed to analyze the options available to the government in turns of cost and expected financial returns. Everyone agrees that to keep the hotel closed is unacceptable. Others suggest that government has not explored all its options with Hutcherson Vampoa and Minnis should send his best team of negotiators (not Marlon Johnson!) to China and to meet with the Chinese on their Oriental Rug. Considering the urgency to get the hotel open this is not a bad idea. But to purchase the property and to try operate it or find a management team? Not only is this the most expensive option but it is the most doubtful of all except the government willl now have a hotel in its portfolio. Again! And what about the Wynn Group? Is the difference they were asking for that cost the purodeal to fall through more that what government would spend to buy the hotel, refurbish it and operate it at a loss? Is It? So why not make up the difference, allow the Wynn to operate the hotel. Put a minimum duration of operation and a clause that they must seek an active buyer fro at least 24 months bey ceasing operations. Then what about seeking a new buyer? Did the government approach Bah Mar or The Pointe with hopes of getting them to operate the hotel as a secondary property under their brands? In less than two short years Chinese will be the largest group of travelers worldwide. Yes they will even outnumber Americans. And Chinese Tourism is lucrative. The travelers have money and they spend when they travel. Then there’s the operators of Atlantis and also Albany. In negotiations you don’t get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate!

And so what about the baggage handler who stole the 76 seater turbo prob ( similar to what Bahamasair flies) took the plane airborne, and put on an hour long air show which included flying the plane in loops and upside down. Then after apologizing to the people who he felt ‘would be highly disappointing in his actions’ , and after speculating that he will spend the rest of his life in jail for what he had done, (he was 29) he took the plane over an isolated island 40 miles from the airport, took a nosedive and crashed the plane directly into the ground and killing only himself in the fiery crash. He started out taking the plane on a joyride. Then he asked over the planes radio if they thought his flying skills could get him a job as a pilot. He described himsyas a disturbed guy ‘who only just now realize he had some screws loose.’

@concernedcitizen: man is a product of his hereditary and environment. So there is no one ‘fit all’ for mental disease. Some families lock away family members who lose it, others put them in Sandilands yet others take them to the Lyford Cay clinic or other private doctors . Illness does not discriminate and mental illness can come about simply by someone having a head injury or a traumatic experience.

@ thisisOurs...if you go back and read the threads on this post that led to quotes from the Bible, after I posted that experts say suicide is s demonic spirits, one of your kind called me a liar and claimed that I made things up. So I posted my sources. No need to brow beat anyone with the Bible.

Very, very well articulated

Yes I am fighting white demons and they not in my head. They in these blogs.

It is the nature of any caged animal to try escape. And putting young troublesome children with harden criminals will prove to be more detrimental. Grab a stash of tamarind switches and wale dey ass until they can’t sit down. And every time they see tamarind tree they go make sure the doors lock.
