What y'all really should be concerned about is why all our natural resources are being taken out of this country and only a handful of Bahamians are benefiting. It was discovered in the 1980's that the Bahamas, like Haiti, has billions and billions of oil right under our feet. These oil reserves are worth trillions of dollars. Enough to make every single Bahamian a multi millionaire (that's just from oil not salt and aragonite and other resources yet). Yet the country continues to be saddled in Billions of dollars in national debt. The power grid i and generation facilities are near collapse and unreliable, and every Bahamian household struggles to pay outrageously high electricity bills. Over 1000 Bahamians, mostly young males, been murdered over the past decade and diseases like cancer, diabetes AIDS and hypertension is threatening to wipe out the native Bahamian , if only financially. Yet we cry about rendering assistance to a country less than half the size of ours when we all are suffering the same plight.

And guess what? The parts of The United States that weren't affected by hurricanes will have to help pay this bill. And even more Trump (who we all hate sometimes) wants Puerto Rico's debt written off so they can get a new start. And y'all sitting here crying like lil heartless wimps because the prime minister is reaching out to Dominica in ways that are within reason. Cry shame on y'all!

Do ppl really go from zero to 60 overnight. I mean don't they run red lights or do some incredible shyts before they kill 60 people and injure 500 more at a peaceful and passive Country Music Fest? A multi million site . Gove me and my common sense a break!

Tal Russel: solving crime is like learning English. It doesn't come all at once or overnight night. But if after years at it (learning English) and it still sounds like Greek to me then you have failed! Or as the young people would say #failure

We have our problems here but look what the United States and other countries around the world are facing. America with the frequency of its mas murders getting bloodier and seemingly more frequent. And yes there is suspicion when a 64 year old war veteran and account sprays hundreds, maybe thousands of rounds of bullets into a crowd, killing many and injuring hundreds. Then kills himself ? Also the killings in France and other countries. Those who commit these crimes never seem to make it to jail or even to trial. And it leaves a show of doubt in the public's mind; Were they really responsible for the crimes and did they act alone?

Not only has the fees doubled but banks like RBC has cut back significantly on their service. Plan to spend up to two hours in line when you visit any of their locations. And while they have replaced their clients cards with credit cards, they haven't done enough to inform clients that they no longer have to stand in line for lots of payments they can make on their credit- debit cards

But you make assumptions. The articles never said there were deficiencies with the aircraft. He said the necessary approvals for the charter services were never granted. And there can be a whole basket of reasons for this that does not even include the airworthiness of the aircraft.
