Yep, they'll be the first to buy out all the expensive contracts and licensing. Another illegal market made legal so that only a select few can profit.

They aren't solving the problem with creating more 'units'. Remember the 'Rapid Strike' police gangsters that pulled their guns on innocent persons in traffic? We need to enhance the yearn for young people to do constructive things in their lives by creating opportunities for persons to actually become something beneficial to our society. Schools are in disrepair, education system is outdated, the 'University' is just a new name for COB. We can't rely on tourism alone as it is just one market, we have to create more industries for persons to aspire to get involved with. Same strokes, same paint, same canvas, same paint brush is not fixing or helping anything. The internet alone tramples our education system and everything else. We have a chain of islands with so much potential that are just not being utilized, they are reserved just for foreigners to buy/lease, and thats when they create the markets that we could've made ourselves if we just had the mental capacity and ingenuity to understand this instead of waiting on hand-outs all the time or for 'someone' to give us a job and pay us like crap.

Why have we not retaliated after Cuba had so boldly sank and killed our marines is baffling. All they did was said sorry and lied about how they thought we were a pirate ship, and all we did was said 'ok' and that was that. Ever since we have not even tried or attempted to build a capable military air force, just a few Cessna's with binoculars looking for immigrants. If America can lend Jets to Ukraine, I'm sure we can get at least a handful of their surplus that they still make weapons for to use for training and actual armed air reconnaissance missions. We are so behind it is appalling, if Cuba wanted to invade during the night we would be hopeless and then we would beg America to help us.

Spoken like an apparent 'Old Geezer' that you are. Spewing misinformation with no supporting facts. Brainwashed by unsubstantiated propaganda from the past.

I'll never forget the time back in 2010 when the Police college told me that I was not 'disciplined' because I had a small tattoo on the inside of my wrist. If I had not indicated on the application that I had a tattoo (being honest with my answers), they would have never asked or noticed and my application would have been successfully submitted; but they judged and ridiculed me for something so trivial. I politely tried to explain to them that I witnessed many officers who full and half sleeve tattoos that are fully visible and that it was not fair that they picked on me for something so miniscule and I walked out and said that I'd never join an organization that is so ancient in mindset and arrogant to accept needed changes that comes as a result of the time period. The force rejected many good persons due to stupid, outdated, and nit-picky policies.

Sadly, the days of doing actual research are slightly gone as more of the current generation's eyes and minds are glued to Tik Tok, IG, Youtube, and the biased media. Everything you said was true, and there is definitely an agenda behind trying to make Russia look like they've lost their minds. Yes, it is very sad what is happening and I would never wish suffering on anyone but almost all 'savvy' persons know that this conflict is something that was boiling over for many years, it's not like Putin woke up and was like today we're going to invade Ukraine for nothing. The man hasnt been in power for 20 years due to rational decisions.

Just tell us when you get it sold. Updates every day or week about new potential investors that leads to nowhere seems to now be a trend.

There is no such thing as Bipartisanship in this country; that's why this country lags and drag their feet through everything and the reason why it takes so many years just to make '1' change. Every step forward, we take another three back, sadly this has been ingrained into the Bahamian society. The lack of camaraderie or too much camaraderie is the reason we cannot break this cycle. New day, same crap.

Why do we wait until other countries do things to then say, I wonder if we should do this? Instead of finding our own way to become better. This country is not a republic and we keep fumbling the ball on FOI, and it seems like even the govt has issues finding and locating the proper information about govt business dealings. So until we get a lot of these underperforming departments and issues related to information security, assurance, and freedom, we'll never be a Republic. Might I add that most countries that use the term 'Republic' are not even full republics, they just like the name and how it sounds.

On INSIGHT: Are we ready to become a republic?
