Exactly 100% correct. How did this billionaire become a billionaire? Are there any connections whatsoever between any of his holdings and the Chinese Communist Party directly or indirectly or anything at all to do with China?

We truly and seriously need to stop this nonsense of giving away our land for these pie in the sky offers. Never forget how NOBODY was able to do a head count of workers at The Pointe. All kinda people went down there to "inspect" but came away more clueless than before they went.

The greatest point here also is that Bahamians have been begging since independence to get a piece of our land (that we supposedly now own from the Queen) - and are 90% of the time told "NO". Stupid Bahamian, too bad for you, go the the bank and make mortgage !!!! This has to stop.

Good point, but then this rewards poor families who have many children they cannot afford. Some day we need to get serious about family planning in this country. If you are planning to go on a long drive, you usually fill up your gas tank (or as best you can), check the oil and tire pressure etc. - but if you are planning to have a child the only thing you have to do is not wear a condom.

You would think it would require more planning. We also need to watch out for them back seat car rides.

I think it is important not to complicate this issue with AUTEC. They have been there long time. This is a SIMPLE issue of the government "giving away" (at least as far as what we the people will get) our land and our resources (for some reason they are doing this, can anyone guess?)

China will not stop until their flag is raised in Rawson Square. We can wait to see it, or you can start to pay attention to who you are giving your hard earned $1.75 to. Who are you giving your $8.50 to in the shop? When you go to the USA, do you shop at the big place whose name starts with W but really should start with C ? It is so convenient. The prices are so good. Just the way that cheese looks to a rat as he approaches the rat trap. That cheese look good eh? Muddo.

I think travelers should also be required to hop up and down on one foot while patting the top of their head with one hand, while the other hand is held on their nose. If they can do this for 15 seconds (without falling) then they are likely in good health. Other less stringent requirements can be devised for the physically impaired.

Hopefully govt will ensure that food lines remain functioning for those who cannot afford to buy food. That medicine is available free for those who qualify. Also help with rental payments. At the same time it is necessary to not make the same mistake as the U.S., which has made it better for their citizens to stay home than to go to work.

Being unemployed should cause a hardship - but not force people to sleep on the streets and go hungry.

Government has VAT now to replace the income to the Treasury that Freeport used to provide. Govt killed Freeport in the late 90's and both Parties in succession have done nothing to help. Why do we still have a blocked road here between Princess Towers and Princess Country Club?

That blocked road is the very symbol of blockages over so many years in Freeport. I had hoped Dr. Minnis could have cleared this arterial blockage in the heart of Freeport, but that's cause I forgot his specialty was examining ... (darn, I forgot again).

As long as Trump does not plan to hold a rally here, the virus will not make an advanced appearance. Very smart virus it is. Already moved to Tulsa, and making an advanced appearance in Jacksonville ahead of the convention. Genetic engineering has come a long way since the 80s.

And instead of "fees", "taxes", or "levies" we could even come up with a new word in order to disguise it - LOL.

The hurricane and this virus are both "conspiracies" - and this "coincidence" of events, I suppose, would be a double conspiracy. People ought to have become aware by now that the word "conspiracy" is very very very useful to those who are up to no good. It turns away the majority of public attention in just one utterance. Amazing that.

Absolutely correct. It is sad, but true. We also seem to have lost ALL interest in that lab in China. Trump said he was going to investigate it. I wonder if the investigators have GPS ?
