Exactly!!!! I can think of 84 other items that are much, much more important and critical than some Haitian shanty town.

OMG! This is absolutely appalling and horrible to read. Maybe I could imagine reading something like this happening in Iran or North Korea -- but NOT the Bahamas. Are we not a civilized, progressive society and culture where we can treat all humans with dignity and respect. Two years in jail for what? It's not like they were found smuggling in drugs, or running a sex trafficking ring, or were criminals on the run from their home country. These were innocent people with the impression that the Bahamas was a civilized and safe country and maybe they could land here and start a new life and most likely contribute to society in a positive manner.
Instead, get ready for a massive lawsuit. It will be the fastest and easiest court case in the history of this incompetent administration. These folks deserve millions of $$$$.
And more importantly, the folks that are responsible for the 2-year delay and the folks inside the facility that most likely harassed, abused, assaulted, etc these people should be held accountable as well.

It is fantastic to see that the Chamber of Commerce on Eleuthera is 100% against the cruise ship proposal. More prominent business owners, land owners, and individuals of influence on HI and Eleuthera need to stand up and voice their opposition to this absurd idea. In fact, let's take it even further, if and when one of those ships arrives off HI -- bring out the police, the fire department, boaters, fishermen, and every able person and refuse to allow them to step one foot on HI soil (by whatever means necessary).

I'm confused. Are you "for" oil drilling in the Bahamas or are you "against" oil drilling in the Bahamas?

HA!! Well said. I was thinking the exact same thing.

Yep, you are 100% correct. I Googled this particular ship and it is huge. There is no way a ship of this size could dock at HI or Exuma or San Salvador. The ships will indeed anchor and tender the passengers to shore.

Is this some type of sick joke? Is today April Fool's Day? The whole point of visiting the Out Islands is the fact that the cruise ships DON'T visit them. What percentage of the entire population of HI believes this is a good idea and would approve it? Yes, I'm sure there might be a few that are excited about it and would approve. But, if I had to wager... I'm guessing easily 75% or more would NOT approve this new strategy.

If it means ending the Virus sooner... then I'm all for it. I'm curious, what great ideas do you have that will help end the Virus sooner? What changes would you suggest he make that would help end the Virus sooner? I'd be happy to hear them...

Well said. A very thoughtful and provoking message. Thank you!

Riiiiight... the goal of the new administration is burn down the house. HA! Actually, it is just the opposite. He is taking the necessary steps to help turn the tide on the Virus. Which is clearly something the previous President never attempted to do.
