Must not have been in the government's suggestion box.

Nib 'Pumps $67m' Into Local Economy.
Didn't they "take it out' of the economy in the first place?

Could you be more specific? You mean the tree huggers who seem to be the only ones to take the health of our planet seriously?

I truly hate politics, but is this administration thinking, or just reacting? The only thing I have seen are changing policies that do nothing to keep social distancing as a priority. It seems more about controlling people than keeping us safe. Is this a tendency of authoritarian personalities?

I have no problem with fisheries being open.
But, if Mr. Maillis is advocating allowing fishermen to transit back and forth between the Family Islands and Nassau, he should be stopped in his tracks. Is this the industry which the health of our nation should rest upon? Hardly. Everyone in this country should realize that we all play a part in keeping each other safe. This is a combination of education and responsibility. I realize it is politically incorrect to say so, but the fishermen would be the last group of Bahamians to entrust with anything. There should be no travel between the Family Islands and Nassau except for the absolute essential food and medicines. If fishing needs to stop for the duration, so be it. This is not the only business in The Bahamas to be impacted. Play your part. Be responsible. Just looking at the piles of immature conch, the short crawfish market, and the state of most fishing boats, there is little to suggest that fishermen care about their fellow and future Bahamians in the least. Do Family Islanders need to be put at risk for the sake of fishermen?

Many Bahama7s still have their heads up their arses. How come we don't see you comment on anything else other than this death sentence for The Bahamas? A paid shill for the oil company. Great work Bahama7.
Good article? Which part? The part about Florida reps voicing their opposition? Or the part about an oil spill. Given the stellar reputation of the oil industry, ALL Bahamians will be able to retire once Mr. Potter and his slippery crew find our black gold and share it with us.

Been there. And when you tell them that you filled out the application online, received a confirmation number, they smile and say that the online process doesn't work. Another waste of our time. No apologies.

I second that opposite effect.

This is time for a reset. Think this through. Look at the evidence. There is no way more than a handful of Bahamians will monetarily profit from this foolish tilting at the windmill. The age of oil needs to come to an end. We must recognize that it is not smart to drill for oil in Bahamian waters. Yes, it is time for a new industry. Can we not be creative for a change. And, Romauld Ferrerier needs to go. He is definitely not an advocate for the Bahamian environment in anything but talk.

The Bahamas is unprepared to go cashless.
While you can order anything online from amazon, try paying your bills or doing online banking with our national bank, or Customs, or any other agency. We are wanting first world conveniences using third world intellect and no imagination. This "schedule" of open and closed days for business is a prime example of the lack of adult thought given to this situation.
