Great idea. However, there are no jobs for them in their field upon completion. There are more pieces of the puzzle that needs to be filled. Here are a few: 1. Performing artist tax allowance on equipment. 2. Mandatory local artist participation in all live performances. 3. A percentage of all entertainment in the tourism industry must be local talent. 4. Upgrade and expand the Performance Art Theater to Oka Hill. 5. A percentage of songs on the radio must be local. 6. Make the Clement Bethel Festival a national event in all categories for armatures (schools) and professionals. With prizes of cash and professional contracts. 7. Copywrite protection for original productions. 8. All local regattas, festivals and events must feature Bahamian culture. 9. Legislate what is Bahamian culture so that in the future we never lose it. 10. Make Bahamians proud to be Bahamians and accept and support everything Bahamian.

FTX failure was a blessing in disguise for The Bahamas. We learn what needs to be learned and move on to make things better. The right way to go is for the regulator to host a conference rather than an exchange or firm. Also having locally highly trained Bahamians put the icing on the cake.

We have the land. We have fresh water. We can produce cheap energy. The technology is available. What we lack is vision and risk-taking. We can feed ourselves and the entire Caribbean.
