The police background checks would be a good start

And to think we could get cheap Russian oil like India or China, but no, we must impose sanctions on Russia, making the price of oil surge and somehow that is bad for Russia.

At some point the government will have to decide what is more important, the wellbeing of Bahamians or Ukrainians?

No need to shoot ourselves in the foot. European visitors will always be welcomed to spend their money here. We can retaliate by imposing an additional tariff on EU imported goods. Also it would be wise to end the sanctions against Russia, and to start buying their oil at a discount which would greatly benefit our country.

Looks like he failed to mention that the digital adoption was forced onto his customers. This bank is doing everything it can to prevent the use of cash, and now he is making it look like it was their customers who willingly made the change. These banks are really taking us for fools.

What will we do when we get a hurricane like Dorian or Ian and all payments have gone digital?

If you learned a bit of history of this country, you would understand why drug dealers can operate in our waters, and it has nothing to do with skin color...

So you're saying that when a criminal is directing a weapon at the Police, they have to wait to get shot at before returning fire? This is insane.

Or Russia? We should go where we get the best discounts.

I just looked at the listing of the top 20 reinsurance companies in the world, only two are Germans. I am sure that their competitors will gladly take up their market share in the Caribbean.

They blacklist us, they lose the business, that is fine by me. Maybe the EU gets a call from Munich Re that the blacklisting is resulting in lost sales. Since the EU is heading into a severe recession with blackouts, I would not be surprised to see them begging for our business in one year.

Ian will unfortunately have an impact on insurance costs, but that has nothing to do with the EU.
