Proof of work cannot be forged, which is why blockchain is going to become industry standard in the coming years. We will eventually see a digital national ID based on blockchain as well.

Regarding crypto, most people invest into shitcoins and then wonder why they lose their money. Follow the whales with Bitcoin, it really is that simple. Buy low when they dump, and sell high when they pump.

To be honest, having a permanent voter register is very concerning for me. I have a sad feeling that the graveyard constituency is going to become influential in upcoming elections.

Reminds me of when insurance companies tried to refuse giving out policies on Abaco post-Dorian. If you are not going to give out insurance, why bother being in business?

To be honest, I would never buy an electric vehicle for use in the Bahamas solely due to BPL. The price of gas is rarely ever high enough to say that paying BPL would be cheaper, not to mention that you probably won't be able to charge the batteries a good portion of the time.

Better compromise might be hybrid, but good luck finding a mechanic qualified to work on them.

I honestly thought that Sands would have been an excellent Prime Minister until I saw his stance on lockdowns.

Unfortunately the FNM doesn't want to face the hard fact that it was their COVID response that ended up costing them several marginal seats. Not enough to let them win, but enough to stop it from being so embarrassing. Choosing between the corruption of the PLP and the economic destruction of the FNM, it really was clear which one was the lesser evil.

Quite frankly, independence was a horrible mistake and it is showing. Our government would have been dissolved by the British a while back (like what happened in Turks) had we remained a dependency. Unfortunately, the parasitical politicians running amok in this country have no one to check them thanks to us being a "sovereign" nation.

Exactly. Voting is a giant waste of time as one party is no better than the other. Colours change but the malarkey doesn't. New day same old shyte.

> As a former Franciscan Friar TOR, I met several women who truly needed an abortion. Yah, we talked and debated until we could do it no more. I could have said horrible things right out of the Religious Playbook most Catholics have read. You are committing a terrible sin, you are going to be damned, etc, etc. I did not, and in fact accompanied a young woman to and during the procedure

Canons 1398 and 1329 come to mind here.

Religion ultimately has nothing to do with the reversal of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court justices simply did their jobs. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, in the Constitution of the United States implies in any way, shape, or form, that there is a "right" to abortion. It was one of the worst Supreme Court rulings of the 20th century made by an activist court that basically went "source : I made it up" in trying to legislate from the bench. The law does not care about your feelings.

Innocent until proven guilty, the courts will decide his fate.

Will never happen. Government is raking in money like crazy right now and blowing their load over how many over priced no-bid contracts they can give out to their friends and lovers.
