The same way they got a 3.7% growth rate. Paper is lie down

"*A plea deal I believe means you are guilty as hell*"

That would be correct! The evidence must be so overwhelming there is no way you will argue "innocence" or "entrapment" with a snowball's chance in said place of succeeding

"*Putting stuff out there*" makes a whole bunch of sense, especially if its laid out in an indictment backed by heavy evidence. In fact "*putting stuff out there*" is a requirement to bring a case in court.

Not naming persons referred to in the evidence is also a standard practice, in PDiddys case for example, there's a witness testifying who is being shielded by the court for some reason that the court deems reasonable

They have the right to set their immigration policy, we should be doing the same (for different reasons) as we face a much greater threat.

The students may lose a year. They will likely need counseling to reinforce that a year is not a lifetime, it's not the end of the world, it's just a delay. Other countries may step in to offer alternatives. It's a life lesson, even though unwanted, about life and making positive advances even in the face of the unexpected

"*vulnerable The Bahamas is to having its good name used*"

I get the point but for a "*good name*" we sure feature prominently in one gigantic ripoff after another... leads one to wonder who's minding the shop and how a foreign (white?) man could get so far with no legitimate claim. Seems like this guy should have had residency, citizenship and all travel privileges revoked from when he first showed up on the Santa Maria.

"*So that led to persons running out of trailers. We had to relocate them, which was difficult given the already limited housing options,*"

How does any resort on a remote cay, in The Bahamas, get approval to house staff in trailers???

"*complaints have accumulated for **over a year**,*"

My my my. I can only assume, it hit the press so an effort had to be made to make it appear like were taking it seriously.

Because we cant upset the tourism goose chicklets. Ever.

Remember during COVID when they up and down tried to convince the public that COVID spread had absolutely nothing to do with tourists entering the country/travel... as our people were dying.

Maybe I should say the two things in the world that have been misused with greatest negative impact. Because the thing itself is not the evil.

I was thinking the other day that the two worst things in the world are drugs and sex. Both were actually designed with beautiful applications that still exist today, but both have been hijacked by evil forces to bamboozle and enslave mankind.

Just look at puffy. Tiger Woods. Epstein. Nygard. Sodom and Gomorrah. All given over to reprobate minds and enslaved by one of or both drugs and sex. Alcohol is a drug. Marijuana is a drug. Cocaine is a drug. Sex can be a drug. All can be addictive. All when misused and overused destroy minds and turn people into demons.

Theres no this one better than that and theres no space for just legalize it so we wont waste time trying to stomp it out. It's dangerous talk.

A Canadian study was released this year that showed a direct relationship between legalizing marijuana and increase in marijuana use among underage children. Precisely what we do not need. The only Province that did not experience an increase in underage marijuana use was Quebec, the one province that resisted the fashionable, it's narural, make everything legal line.

My theory has been all along that just the act of legalizing a thing sends the message to the teenage mind that would not under normal circumstances tried an illegal substance, that this thing is ok, because if it wasnt, it wouldnt have been legalized. And telling them, they're too young it doesnt apply to them is just the challenge teenagers dont need.

What is going on in Acklins? Every other millisecond a plane, now boat, crashing through loaded with drugs

**We need to be more analytical than the Arawaks when the foreign white people show up. Wear a mask, ask why you so interested in where the gold located and what's that rash on your skin**. Meaning know what we have and how valuable it is, discern from what they actually do and protect us always.

(Btw it could be local black people, just that history has presented mostly "foreign", "white" as the shiny investor)

he first reality to acknowledge is that while economic injection on a flailing island could be a good thing but Bahamar which is bigger in scope hasnt saved Nassau.

Secondly while this be another enclave like RCI PI, the Porte.. I'm afraid that in fifty years, the majority of the Bahamian population will be scrunched into a small box between squatting illegal immigrants and uber wealthy with the govt unwilling to fight for Bahamians against either because, "we can't hurt the money". It doesnt have to be this way if someone had a vision and a plan for what we would not accept at any point along this journey.

Thirdly these 2000 jobs and 850m invested, over what period of time will they be experienced?
