This is a very under-emphasized aspect of our economic woes; the Bahamas does not have an organic middle class, we literally spend our tax dollars hiring unnecessary, otherwise unemployed, government workers to pretend that we have one. Needless to say, this is (and has not been) a sustainable policy. The private sector cannot take them on, so, imo, the only solution is to get them overseas. Canada has been a major economic release valve for the Bahamas in that regard.

Considering that summer is almost over, I would think so. Now comes the fall power outages.

Tribanon,

Have you ever actually read the UK statute on marital rape? You do realize that women cannot be charged with it, right? It may sound silly that a little old woman can rape a man but go and ask the men that Cardi B drugged up and date raped whether a man can be raped or not. The UK is an Orwellian shithole where citizens are arrested over tweets and Facebook posts, we should be nothing like them (England was a great place to live at one time, but not anymore).

Quite frankly, such a law is borderline unenforceable. As with 99% of these cases, it boils down to "he said, she said" which means the man is always going to be presumed guilty by default. You are acting as if the Johnny Depp trial did not just happen and that women are sweet little innocent flowers that would never lie on a man to get ahead; hint : they are not. Not every woman will do that kind of thing, but some definitely will. Practicality of a law is much more important than the intent behind it.

They will never stop until all Whites are dead. Take a hard look at South Africa: "kill the Boer" is not hate speech, but flying the old flag is; South Africa is the future of the West, so start prepping now.

Let me get this straight : the judge in the recent Tribune front page case was supposed to throw that man in prison purely because his wife said so? Complete and utter lunacy. Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence in the court of law? "He said, she said" is not good enough send anyone to prison for a day much less a possible decades long sentence. The lunatics are trying to take over the asylum.

Gorbachev is/was hated by most Russians and his reforms were complete failures that led to the economic pillaging of Russia by foreign entities during the 90s; he is so hated that rumour has it that they are not even going to give him a state funeral. Definitely not someone Brave will want to be compared with in the history books.

It would be a great start just to keep the power on at this point. Not that I expect that to ever happen.

What we are witnessing is the slow burn collapse of Western civilization. Things will only get worse.

Same thing on Abaco. I can count at least three trenches on my road that Water & Sewage have dug up yet neglected to fill in. It is disgusting and slowly destroying people's vehicles.

Residents of other islands need to take note now : buy a shotgun w/ some shells for security, invest into a water cistern or holding tanks, get a generator that can supply power for your daily needs, and stock up food and any other required consumables for day to day life. Trust me, you are 100% on your own if your island is unfortunate enough to be struck by a Dorian. The government is not coming to save you.

Quite frankly, Nassau people could never survive what Abaco has been through after Dorian. It took a year and a half before my area even had running water. You will bathe out of a bucket or solar bag and have to use slop water to flush your toilets. Not to mention living in the hellish Bahamian summer heat without any fans or A/C. It was a real return to ye olden days for those of us who were here in the aftermath of Dorian.
