Totally agree. Time to stop writing and act. Our lives are on the line now.

These machines must be banned. I would like an AK47 but I am not allowed to. Give owners 180 days to get rid of them and never allow them into the country.

Tal: all of these local companies publish financial statements and they don't lie. It irritates me when Commonwealth Bank publish such juicy profits and that is all made on the back of poor people with consumer loans at only God knows what percent. Cable Bahamas too make juicy profits. I believe what someone accused you of. You are a bloody Communist reading The Little Red Book. And you right here in our midst. You are probably a bloody Cubian sent here by Castro.

Yes, the premiums do increase and they increase in line with the medical costs. Do you think for one second Tal that once GHI starts they won;t start racheting up the premiums too. Some people are naive and others are just plain stupid. Lee Iacocca was the first to publicly acknowledge that there is no such thing as a free lunch. And he was right !

What is it about Bain and Grants Town that makes it the main focus of anyone wanting to be credited with uplifting the downtrodden. Urban Renewal 2.0 , The Kirk Church, Government Agencies, CB Moss. You know what it is ? No Government has ever given a damn about these people and so they live in squalor forever. What a showcase ! What a puppy show !

I don't know what experience this negativity about private health comes from but when Bahama Health shells out 100,000.00 for me and another 100,000.00 for my wife I have a boatload of loyalty to them. This is for surgery at a hospital in Fort Lauderdale that is a palace compared to PMH. My employees can go to PMH if the Government push ahead with this but I will stay with private coverage thanks very much. You pay for what you get and you get what you pay for. Simple !

I have been told personally that this business is the biggest problem that the US Embassy has in this Country. If I was told, then the Minister was also told, and probably the PM also. She cannot regulate Bahamians driving cars, nor can the Police. The Defense Force cannot stop a Haitian sloop till it hits Yamacraw Beach, so who the hell does she think she is fooling saying they will get the Police and Defense Force to help. Stop regulating it and close the business down. If not the US Government will close us down. Stupidity is the Mother of Calamity ! It is amazing that a handful of these water rats can have so much political pull that the Government won't do what has to be done. Hard to believe. But look at the web shops. They running the Government now.

Yes, i too would support Minnis just for this. Corruption must end and perpetrators made to pay a heavy price.

Forget enhancing anything. Ban these things completely. They will deatroy this industry for all Bahamians. How can a tourist yell the difference between a licenced jet ski operator and a non licenced one.

marrcus clip is from 2008 but today's Tribune headline ( not up yet ) is another damning report for our tourism industry. Hanna-Martin better smell the coffee before Wilchcombe has no Tourism product to Minister to. And the speeders will have no gas for their cars, and drunk drivers won't be able to buy liquor and the unwed mothers will have to eat their babies just to sustain their own lives. This country is in deep doo-doo and everyone in Cabinet and the House is asleep. Or having "teachable moments" but we are all in the same leaky, sinking boat.
