According to the article, the young boy was jaywalking. A particularly dangerous common practice in the country. Drivers believe they are "helping" and being "kind", when they "assist" the practice, especially when a child is involved. But if you stop suddenly at an unusual spot, where there is no pedestrian crossing, and no clear sign of the reason youve stopped, with drivers behind you unable to see that person in front of your car (or even the car you are allowing to cross a dual lane thoroughfare to the opposite side of the road). The driver was fully in her right to switch to the adjacent lane, which was clear, to continue her journey. You, the person encouraging the pedestrian to commit the dangerous maneouvre, more than anyone else have endangered the person you believe you are "helping".
The lady is correct, she should not be harassed for driving according to the rules of the road.
"*If you do your investigative reporting and understand what's happening around the world, you'll see that The Bahamas is not unique in what is happening with power delivery.*"
This is actually correct. If you compare the Bahamas to other countries around the world with ruling parties with increasing wealth, an increasing wralth gap, crumbling infrastructure and govts failing to act for decades... we are not unique.
Thats what I was thinking. We've come along way when its an extraordinary sight for a police officer to assist with traffic gone wrong. But given that we are "here", (sincerely) great job doing the right thing.
This is not about "*paying the mortgage*". This is about Airbnb induced rental inflation of 100 to 500+ dollar per night rates for sub par properties **despite mortgages entered into pre COVID**
As to *sorry we need another term to do what we promised*... "as per usual"
"*established that there is liability of the Grand Bahama Port Authority to reimburse the government of The Bahamas and the taxpayers of The Bahamas for administrative expenses incurred in Freeport by the government. It ruled that that liability absolutely exists*"
**Wasnt this already estsblished? and the actual dispute was not whether fees should be paid but rather how did the govt arrive at 300million??**
Last year Tourism revealed their strategy to "*benefit from the reduction in US outbound and inbound travel post tariff increases*"... it underscores that we are the beneficiary of close proximity to the US far more than any strategic tourism initiative. Five years post COVID we still cant even "*clean the garbage*" as waa stated by Tourism as a post COVID "*lesson*"
"*Weather*" also happens every year. Its typically only significant when it damages tourism infrastructure. We didnt have that last year.
