In light of several revelations this tragedy needs a full investigation. The claims the flight made it to Nassau But was denied permission to land because no flight plan was filed. Then why did the pilot decide to return to Andros rather than stay in a holding pattern until given permission to land. Then the condition of the wreckage or parts found thus far. A direct impact with the Sea. The weather was bed, zero visibility at times. And wind gusts. The pilot was not certified on instruments in that type of weather. Did he suffer from spatial disorientation or did he run out of fuel or suffer some mechanical failure. Was the impact sudden that no one got to use their cell phone to call Nassau or Andros.
It is a good leveling out of the retail food market as there was an obvious monopoly. But now something needs to be done about the wholesale market which is virtually dominated by one player.
There may be similar cases of Bahamians, being deported from the US in a short while. Many of these Bahamians will have spent most, if not all, of their adult lives in the US and will now be deported. They are being urged not to leave voluntarily and to fight deportation. But will that really help their cause.as the US has stated that it will not allow any more immigrant workers from Haiti.
A Bahamian was on a talk show last week saying how she grew her Airbnb business from 1 unit five years ago to 26 units present. Another lady was talking about the problems she had selling her jewelry online. First there was the problem of getting funds without having to pay high fees and conversion. Then there was the problem with a reliable Courior service. The three main services here do not offer bulk rates and do not yet want to negotiate and the high speed postal does not offer insurance or tracking. Estimates are that new vehicles in the US will fall from 18 million to 6 million a year once self drive vehicles and Urber services take full effect. But as economies change and eliminate jobs, other jobs are created. For example while savings accounts in banks may be eliminated Simone will still have to manage e-wealth. At one point at least one country had to stop trading bitcoin because its accounts were constantly getting hacked and cleaned out. And you would be surprised at how many Bahamians have had their accounts hacked and money stolen here. Done mostly be employees of the bank or other customers.
The Bahamas was financially blacklisted because it didn’t pass certain legislation (like the marriage bill, the marital rape bill,and the immigration reform) but while the economy didn’t grow because of this at least it is stable. Countries like Jamaica does not yield to these organizations or the US. Even Haiti has so many nationals living outside the country even US sanctions do not work. Because people send money home to their families. But 2018 will be the year for The Bahamas. Hopefully Minnis will not sell our soul for a dollar.
In the main time *THE Tribune* posted merchants bragging how their holiday sales were better than last year to bragging that they were "greater than expected." Everyone knows the economy took a nose dive since the Elections in May and the past Christmas season was the worst in recent years. Retail sales were Very down. The US, however, saw much improvement, especially in the malls and brick and mortar stores. Their unemployment is probably below 4% while ours is still at least 11 or 12%. Higher in Freeport and on some Family islands. Fortunately the strong numbers in the hotels and the recent hiring at Bah Mar will inject new money into the economy. But the government must start several major projects here in New providence, in Grand Bahama and on several Family Islands. not only to kick start the economy, but to boost consumer confidence and get the private sector to invest. Then we should see some improvement by March!

Are minors being deported without a parent or legal guardian or is Mr. Smith not saying that the 12 y/o was deported with his parent(s)?
