I wonder why these people are being phased out. Gee, read editorial on Peter Nygard and Bahamian shame in today's paper. Still wonder?

This suggestion may be the dumbest in a long line of dumb ideas resulting from the Dorian disaster. This catastrophic event or "hurricane" coverage is all passed on to reinsurance risk and priced by the reinsurance market, and the "pool" is not limited to one country or one island in one country. More Bahamians buying this coverage will not move the premium cost needle one whit. The cost of this coverage is ludicrous, and the deductible provisions are such that short of total devastation, which is a once in 200 year event on some islands, not even that on all, the insured suffering substantial damage, recovers zero. Cost is prohibitive and making it mandatory would bankrupt the populace. This is nothing but a crass effort to put lots of cash in a few local insurance brokers' pockets.

No one needed to bamboozle anyone. This is all about standing with "my brother" against "the man". Sadly a great swath of the electorate has yet to realize that "they" are "the man" and that continuation of the fiction of "the man" is all that keeps the PLP in business.

Total nonsense on steroids.

So long as jurors do not fall out of the jury box laughing derisively about the old "I took the money to give it to the Church, or for the PLP campaign coffers" nothing will change. There is no sentient person alive in the Bahamas who does not know that bribes and their active solicitation were a way of life in the Christie Administration years, and yet, this charade of "nothing to see here, move on" continues unabated.

It is almost criminal that organizations like Climate Control are permitted to publish as "science" these totally bogus studies predicting never less than catastrophic disasters that serially fail to occur. There is absolutely zero evidence that sea levels are increasing outside the range that has been associated with the phasing between ice ages and withdrawal from ice ages that has been going on for all geological history. If these predictions had a scintilla of actual scientific support, do you suppose that Manhattan real estate would be selling for millions of dollars a square foot, to multi-national corporations which have endless funds to invest in real, scientific research. This is nothing but Chicken Little being given a media megaphone.

Not even a devastating hurricane can blow away the foul air of a political hack trying to find any excuse possible to criticize the first government since independence actually attempting to address the rampant corruption that has since beset these Heaven blessed isles.

You are correct. The PLP will stick to the old and corrupt gang including Cuba Fred.

I have not seen the video allegedly circulating on social media, but I have read news reports detailing the purportedly offensive statements that started all this, and those comments far from offensive, seem nothing but the bare and obvious truth. Sorry if the truth hurts. BTC is a nightmare, fools-mess, and it was turned into that by a totally entitled union leadership and endless PLP government interference it its operations. This xenophobic aggression against managers born in another country is embarrassing and demonstrates the totally untenable position of the unions in this matter. These miscreants should all be fired forthwith. If not the entire enterprise will simply be put into bankruptcy by the excoriating effects of the marketplace and all the current Bahamian employees will be out on the street looking for a job.

Gomez is a joke who fills an empty suit. "I am a Bahamian of African decent." Really? Has he produced DNA test results to confirm that he is not someone who needs to be paying reparations if indeed any such ludicrous scheme were foisted on society. Who is "African"? Who is "White"? Isn't this exactly the kind of totally unscientific, hyper discrimination that landed us in this mess in the first place?
