Lol.

"*We are going to launch an attack on Atlantis in the magnitude they have never seen.*"

Seems wrongheaded. I wonder if we'll see the day where the cruise port and the hotels just employ their own transport personnel. If business is up they hire more, if down they furlough. Why the taxi drivers cant organize themselves in an orderly fashion is strange. They do weird things downtown as well, loading passengers in the path of moving oncoming traffic, directing tourists to jaywalk in the path of moving traffic, stopping in traffic to load people

"*They are bringing guests from around the island for tours featuring Atlantis,*"

It's amazing to me that a hotel is an attraction. I get it that the structure is beautiful but I'd feel cheated as someone paying for a tour, that that's the "top". I'd want to see wonders of nature or something filled with history... but I guess those buildings all collapsed or burned to the ground. And the straw market, which had history, is no longer a straw market.. painted in ghastly colors but it too burned to the ground... unless they meant to say they're bringing them to the water park.

"*Historically, financial institutions, whether customers like hearing it or not, used to effectively subsidise what I’m going to call the professional services that they obtained in the branch.*"

A bank's compensation for services in the past came through use of money deposited by customers, those deposits funded their ability to make loans and earn interest income from other customers. That is born out by the fact that banks competed to attract people to deposit their money by offering attractive interest rates on deposits. In today's reality they no longer make the profits they made from that model so instead of paying an interest they're now charging to hold your money and if that model fails they will find more ways to introduce more fees. If everyone for example stopped going to the bank and did everything online, the narrative would switch to the cost of maintaining the digital platform. The spiral would continue until such time as there's actually real growth in the economy. The govt is doing exactly the same thing.

That "we" is an instruction to the church, a real church, not a marketing junket. Its not to a nation. It would be great if everyone in the bahamas subscribed to the christian faith and upheld the bibles moral standard... but they dont. The pastors need to get off the talk shows and go talk to their membership. We keep up this farce of a christian nation, I dont know who we think we fooling, certainly not God, not when we was partying with all kinds of Colombians right after writing the constitution

I know someone whose life was drastically altered very recently by a COVID infection. But I agree as was true during all of the pandemic, most people will be fine.

That will never work. Gangs are given life by disaffected people. Thats all we gat. Solution make no one disaffected.

I dont like to use scripture too much to a non christian audience, I personally think its the wrongly placed. Im particularly put off by the abundance of preachers looking for national relevance through talk show appearances.

**But**, since the PM brought up prayer as a solution, I also responded with *thats not how it works*, my message was not to the "secular", but to the religious and semi religious ones who say "*just pray*". God gave guidelines for how to prayer, for not praying foolish prayers and the prerequisites needed for him to answer... this message only for the Christians "*turn from your wicked ways*" thats the prerequisite.

I dont know if its significant or not, but I know someone died. I'd be interested to know their age.

COVID affects veins which means you could be the unlikely one person in a 100k to catch it, experience severe symptoms,...as opposed to the majority who have mild symptoms and lose critical function to a vital organ... since every organ gets its lifeblood via veins.

I'd take the precaution, it's not hard to wash hands, and worry about whether its significant or not later.

"*As you can see coming out of the Christmas holidays, a lot of people travel abroad, and we’re exposed*

So you can only catch travel related COVID if you travel outside the country. Not from a tourist who travels here?

And they would have to be strategists to return the country to law and order.

As they dont seem to be able to do that, which is achievable, they are clearly neither clairvoyant or strategic. Stop one person from running a red light, ...please

When these leaders quote scripture they quite often use it of of context. Does prayer work? Yes? The question is for "who"? Its quite clear:

"**If MY people**, which are called by MY name, shall humble themselves, and **pray**, and seek my face, **and turn from their wicked ways; THEN** will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and **will heal their land**.*

Prayer is a tool for Gods people who are willing to stop giving overpriced contracts to their buddies
