I consider this a continual economic embargo against young, Black enterprising Bahamians who are willing to put in long hours in the hot sun to earn a living. nothing else. Of the 6 million tourists that visit the Bahamas less than 10 women are reported assaulted in any given year. In one single incident on a beach in South Florida**Eleven**people were shot. And Miami Beach is considering banning the sale of alcohol after 10:00 p.m because of rowdy and loud and fighting visitors. It is time for the bahamas to take it for what it is: they don't want locals working on the beaches or interacting with tourists. They want to equip them with guns and drugs and encourage them to fight among themselves and kill one another. #superpredators...A former president called them goods damaged beyond repair. This government needs to get itself together and go out there and save our young men. Stop being driven by foreign opinion that is (always) Anti-Bahamian and laden with ulterior motives. What now? they want you to bring in foreigners to run the jet skis and beach activities? What about the young woman who walked into a phone store yesterday with a double barrel shot gun (USA) and demanded cell phones? hardly made the news did it?

The meeting was very productive and upbeat. The new board gave confidence that BoB can be be turned around and continue as an ongoing and profitable institution. Shareholders wanted assurances that the bank would never be allowed to get raped, ravished and looted as was done under the previous PLP government and that there was no political influence with the board and no (undue) board interference with the (management) operations of the bank. BoB has gotten the support of the present (FNM) government who has agreed, as a major shareholder, to inject more capital into the bank.

Seems like it's going to be 'more of the same.' With the high incidence of murders in the past ten days does Ferguson really believe that he can talk away murder or even serious crime. Apparently when persons reach the point that they will arm themselves and go in hunt of another human being and gun him down, sometimes even under the high noon sun, neither life nor death matters to him anymore. And in most instances these people view themselves not as murderers or cold blooded killers but as soldiers gone to war. Kill or be killed. Super predators who also assume they are being preyed on. And if intervention does not come long before they reach that stage the police will continue to perl off yellow tape and bodies scooped up of the ground. The job of fixing the problem is just not for the police alone.

Is this the same Chris brown who is suppose to be retired?

The PLP did not want a plan that was sustainable and above board. They did not want clean money from clean hands. Instead they would rather a deal that involved cronies and money being passed under the table and hidden in shoe boxes in closets. Deals done in the dark (no pun intended), and in smoke filled rooms with sweating mirrors. Steeped in corruption and bribes. The last five years of PLP government was probably the most scandal ridden and corrupt in Bahamian history. One half billion dollars squandered in less of a half year and nothing to show for it. nothing! the peoples' money gone. They proved they were not for the people. In the main time y'all a$$ gone sweat while y'all inhale toxic dump smoke. thanks perry dem!

To be or not to be...the meeting 💰💰💰

When you threaten a man and tell him he better dig two graves because he trying to clean up your party's dirt, do you expect him to meet with you behind closed doors? Are you serious? Brave Davis, Fred Mitchell, Bradley Roberts and most who have spoken for the PLP never seem to acknowledge their wrong doing. In face they see nothing wrong with what was done in the last five years.

The fact is there is still family structure on the Family Islands and true community life. If one is not working on the family islands you can at least manage to scrap a meal or do some odd jobs around the community to survive. In Nassau even people who are working are struggling to make ends meet so in most instances someone asking for a hand out is seen as a nuisance, an unaffordable expense. Some people believe they are more successful turning to crime than looking for charity. Then there are career criminals and generation criminals. They came from parents that were drug dealers and never had a legitimate job and so they are on that same road.

Every time a dollar gets paid on the national debt of government waste is cut or some crooked politicians or government employees are let go, not only does the government increase it's ability to pay its debts, but more money becomes available to complete projects and services provided by the government. And if government continues on a course of debt reduction and efficiency there should come a point where taxes can be reduced. And government should be aware that there are agencies that come knocking on your willing to loan bags of money. Not because they want to be helpful but they have billions to lend and want to collect hefty interest rates. They are not worried about a country's debt ratio or of the tax burden high national debts place on local citizens. They just want to loan the money like any other financial institution.

You would expect that rather than just sending out advisories on the crime situation in The Bahamas, the US would offer advice and maybe even assistance in tackling the crime problem. But many Bahamians are leaving New Province and going back to The Family Islands. Many cannot understand the unacceptable crime problem in the capital, especially murder. Of course much of the crime is driven by unemployment and other economic conditions.
The question now is how to fix it.
