Evacuate Grand Bahama? Population 30-35K? Are you going to just start at the beginning of hurricane season?
BTW, Everyone whats to know what this flood Map is you said was shared with Businesses and residents prior to Dorian. no one has seen it.

Erase your history, good and Bad, you will know neither where you are going, or where you came from.
Let the self appointed Reverend Father sit and ponder the Biblical path he has chosen. Or shed the cloth and pursue the Political one he has apparently engaged.

Ha! I've got family in Abaco trying to get a 20 ft by 60ft strip of Crown land adjacent to their own for better than 50 years! absolutely useless to anyone else except Government, to hold over someones head.
Go for it Toby. I wish you the best.

What part of "things are gonna be tough" for a while doesn't he get?
There is no money for the various ad sundry "gravy trains" we have created and some have enjoyed.
It is a sad situation to be sure. I just don't see how you squeeze blood from a stone.
Also, Last time I checked, a Childs development was a parental responsibility.
Damn Nanny State is half the problem.

The_Oracle says...

Discarding the truth is a sure fired way to set yourself adrift.
Good or bad, a fact is a fact, but with all of the narratives happening right now, twisted to this ones purpose and that ones purpose, can you find the truth?

The risk of insurance is not held here, most if not all the local companies are merely brokers.
The actual insurers are not in this jurisdiction, and therefore not subject to the Minnis doctrine of doing for you with someone else money.
An interesting conundrum.

The_Oracle says...

They aren't looking at small fry either. They're looking at medium to large insolvencies.
That's where their money in fees is.
That they're getting ready is telling.
The damage is done, but who has the stomach for restarting after this hit?
A double hit for a couple islands that were significant revenue generators.

Lender of last resort, to whom you cannot return to with hat in hand.
This is the full amount of emergency funds available.
This is the last stop before the cliff.
Once the IMF puts you on the "austerity" program, they are now controlling. Not that we ever did. A perfect case of being given enough rope to hang ourselves with.

The_Oracle says...

As I have said before, I understand the initial panic and overreaction, as they know full well we do not have the beds or meds, or expertise to have deal with hundreds of cases.
And while the excessive jerrymandering of life in these islands may have helped prevent cases,
it has also created problems in more ways than can be imagined. Arbitrary, inexplicable, erratic,
and worst of all applied haphazardly. The poor just got poorer, The Middle class decimated.
All of the preventative measures that actually may have helped could have been accomplished without subverting the constitution and without seizing power under the guise of a "competent authority" No, Minnis has set a precedent to be condemned and never repeated.
