Very sad indeed. Why does the government not take the loss of lives on the road as seriously as the loss of lives from Covid?

If Biden is confirmed President, things will get a lot worse for GB. Royal Caribbean has a $300 million planned investment, including the purchase Grand Lucayan resort. If they can now do it in Cuba, you can say good bye to this investment.

I doubt very much that he wants to be the owner of a resort that is losing over a million dollar a day. He is probably very satisfied the way things have turned out.

I am no fan of the Chinese, but if Izmirlian was the current owner of Bahamar, he would have bankrupted it for a third time. Only strong hands like the Chinese can afford to lose millions of dollars per day for an extended period of time.

Why did you not mention Al Gore?

This is a catastrophic day for the Bahamas.

Trump has been good for the Bahamas. Clinton forced the Bahamas to sign the exchange on demand agreements and Obama forced the Bahamas to sign the automatic exchange of information agreements, thus ending banking secrecy in the country. The result has been the closing of many banks and the loss of hundreds of good paying jobs for Bahamians. Under Trump we had no attack on the financial sector, only the EU has been blacklisting us. With Biden President we will see renewed attacks on the little that is left of our offshore sector.

Obama opened Cuba to Americans and we were about to witness a major switch of tourists from the Bahamas to this new destination. Fortunately, Trump put an end to this. The result is that currently the major foreign investors in the Bahamas are US cruise lines. If Cuba had been opened all these investments and tourists would have gone to Cuba. With Cuba opening up again you will see the main foreign investors in this country shift their attention South of the Bahamas.

And by the way Trump got more than 5 million votes than Obama in his second term and 12% of the black votes versus 4% for McCain. Just think about that for a minute…

Dear Editor,
Did you write a similar editorial when Vice President Al Gore conceded to George W. Bush in 2000, only to retract the concession on the same night?

As any good socialist will tell you: “It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes”. The USA is on the path to Venezuelasation.
