Isn't Al Jazerra suppose to be shutting down by the end of this month after only just 2 1/2 years in the business? Hmm.

Very dumb post. Person sounds like a killers

And why is RBC pulling all, if not most all of their wealth investment branches out of the Bahamas and the Caribbean? They were caught up in similar situations where they were unknowingly made partners to illegal activities. They have been fined in excess of $35 million with more fines forthcoming.

Y'all haters needs to get a life. You have grown and educated men going in movie theaters dressed as cartoon characters and killing up people. Should we also shut down the movie theaters or terrorist hijacking planes should we also ban planes? Now see how retarded you sound.

The most effective way to stop gun smuggling is to start making (manufacturing) them here. Think about it. The US couldn't stop rum running, so now they started making rum. The war on drugs became too expensive so now they growing weed in the US. So maybe if you start manufacturing guns here they will step up their laws and their guns will stop coming here. Law of supply and demand

Not only that but they allowed small thriving businesses that catered to high end, big spending visitors to be pushed aside and closed down in favor of RWB. With all the terrorist alerts (and strikes) many people are not leaving the US shores, especially on a ship. The smaller resorts cold keep local residents employed. Another white elephant like Bah Mar in the making?

We all know these actions are racially motivated. They don't want young , black men to earn an honest living,so they force them to a life of crime. And what ever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? The young m(black) man has not had his day in court yet. Just last week a young man in Chicago was released from jail after spending eight years for allegedly raping his neighbor. Then it's determined that it was all a dream. She (wet) dreamed she got rape and went to the police. Her neighbor went to jail for eight years.

Many businesses are reporting that their sales for January 2016 are down by 7 - 40%. This is following a very lack luster Christmas sales.

The contrast is that the US government applied a stimulus that allowed the economy to rebound and expand. This included tax breaks that allowed businesses to hire more people. The US also allowed consumers to benefit from lower gas and energy prices. The Bahamian government not only increased taxes but introduced new taxes. There was little or no gas or energy relief and the VAT along with the huge leakage on the economy from the we shops has stifled the economy. Consumer spending in the US down because consumer confidence is down, simply because consumers are wiser and don't want to get caught like they did in 2008. Americans are saving. Bahamians, could not cut back on spending because the increase in taxes and other costs of living increases is eating up all their disposable income. The high unemployment rate is also not helping because two or three people are living of one income and/or tax dollars. If there is another big slump in the economy many Bahamians and even the government will not be able to meet their financial obligations. The main reason being that the government did not allow the economy to benefit from the natural recovery mechanisms that the US did

CHINA has advised some of its banks to stop trading US Dollars. China has suspended trading on its stock market several times last week as investors continue to panic and run for the hills In the main time there is hardly a single cargo ship in transit between Europe and North America. For the first time in history commerce has come to a standstill! Virtually. Gas prices in the US are expected to fall to below $1.00 for the first time in 15 years. THE great recession is looming and the US seems to be the major target to get hit. Is there any connection between this and the travel advisories issued for Americans travelling to the Bahamas.
