I actually support Disney investing in Eleuthera. Was just poking fun at our ignorant minimum wage.

At the same time Govt needs to put a moratorium on any new business with China and any new Chinese work permits. Not really a big deal though. Trump's dealing with them. They will soon have to recall their army to protect the mainland.

"At our other Disney destination, Castaway Cay, the current average wage is more than 50 percent higher than the Bahamian minimum wage..."

Nothing + 50% of nothing = nothing

Anarchy DDK. Conch, Kalik, and erryting cool. Das how we go. "Thank God for life", no matter how much life sucks.

No ambition. No opportunity. Proud of both.

Canada health ministry has probably already sent them all Fedex packages.

Rand is not under PHA. There is a separate Grand Bahama hospitals authority. I was shocked to learn this 3 years ago while trying to use my political leverage to get cancer biopsy results for a friend who had been awaiting those results over 5 months.

"...financial investment in the SPV, which is regarded as a below-the-line transaction and therefore does not impact..."

After BPL turned off my power last month, i went in and told them i had made several "below-the-line" payments that just weren't showing up on their screen.

They still refused to turn my power back on.

Guessing now, with this legal precedent, i gotta go back in Monday morning :-)

Seriously though, i agree fully with the government's moves on this hotel. However i wish they would ease up on the borrowing generally. It seems like every 2 weeks we hear about some other 30 million dollar loan.

If i could borrow 30 million every 2 weeks i could solve a lot of my problems too. But reality don't work like that. It doesnt in government either. Too much of it and we will all have shackles around our necks with "Made in China" stamped on them.

Shut down the Hilton. Shut down The Pointe. Everything. Just get the Hell out!!!

"Had they done it, we would have had to commence legal proceedings for a fundamental breach of contract."

Really? Had i done it, the police would have my a$$ in jail and i would bear the burden of proof (while in jail) to show what right i had to the items.

3 million here, 35 million there, 65 million over there, God know how many million at container port and airport.

Government should give Hutchinson notice to December 31st to get ALL of their stuff out of this country including all Chinese citizens whether employed by them or not. Shut down the container port. Shut down the airport. Shut down the harbour. Shut down all the food and chicken and liquor stores they run in Nassau. We can barge food in from Nassau to feed Freeport people and build a new airport by the old missile base at Gold Rock Creek.

Nationalize all their stuff and close their bank accounts and tell them get out !!!

Also from Dec 31st no person from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan allowed to even visit Bahamas and no goods to be imported originating or passing thru those countries. All telephone and IP communication to be cut off as well.

It will be painful at first - but like a tetanus shot, it will save our lives and the pain don't last forever.

Show the rest of the world how to deal with these jacks.

"... opened a new $6m fire and police station in Grand Bahama Friday."
