"*Can we deliver the services which the public demands from a building which was delivered in 1815*"

A new building is undeserved and will do nothing to alter the unqualified seat warmers and desk bangers the parties puts forward every 5years

"*Let me just say how disgusted I am tonight with this particular incident occurring here yet in a shopping plaza where members of the public traverse on a daily basis. This is unacceptable and this will not be tolerated.*"

I understand the sentiment because the "*this could have harmed me or my loved ones*" hits home. Former PM Christie made a similar statement when his personal police guard was shot.

But the time to be outraged and disgusted was 10 years ago when young men were getting shot through Dog Flea Alley where decent families also frequent. But the posture was different. The former police commissioner actually vocalized it, paraphrasing, ~"*the people being killed aren't us, they're criminals. No need to fear*".

There was a time years ago when I wouldnt even vocalize my greatest fear, that someone would enter the movie theater at the mall and unleash a barrage of bullets to kill a rival, it was far fetched, at the time, but I thought this is where we're headed if we dont stop this. We are here.

**Corruption in high places needs to be eradicated. It's not the men in the tin box Japanese cars who are the root cause of this**. It's the ring of men driving hummers and BMs, living behind the most exclusive gates, going to the best restaurants, hob knobbing with the PM, funding both sides of the political campaigns, sitting in the front pew at church and being praised by the bishop for their support because no money is bad money. They're the cause. Call Scotland Yard, get rid of them.

I'm still waiting to hear what this looks like in terms of cost. BAMSI for example sells at low prices, but those prices are likely artificial, can it be sustained and is it scaleable. I'm not referring to BAMSi as the sole provider, but over all local food production suppliers, can we provide affordable meat, vegetables, fruit, grains of import level quality, for the entire nation at affordable prices

"*This means the latter (govt) now stands in their place and will be compensated by the liquidator’s recovery.*"

Does this mean that if the govt convinced an individual to settle for 50% of what they painstakingly saved over 50 years, the govt gets with the swipe of a pen to take 50% of that individual's money? In this example I can understand if the govt was only able to collect 50% of the amount from clico, but if they collected the entire 100%, it seems unseemly for govt to take 50% of someone's life earnings.

Saw an article on.cnn about this. The weird thing was this is what our ancestors practiced. I remember my father and his annoyingly disgusting composting for his mini farm.. who knew he was a scienntist ahead of his time? In one generation, da "*smart young people*" of the time had a modern idea.. pesticides... go figure

"*and once again produce more of our own food*"

I hear this all the time. It would be great if we had numbers on how realistic this is. If we could produce all of our own chicken but a pack of 4 chicken legs costs 30 dollars, what makes sense? That's the essence of trade. We may never be able to produce all of our food wants how much of our need can we meet, how do we decentralize it and can we afford it?

Didnt the PM issue a statement something like, paraphrasing, ~*Bahamians should be made whole **first** that would be illegal.. I dont think anybody needs a written apology. They told us exactly what they planned to do.

"*We decided to do away with all of that and **give everyone a fair share of seeing** Taurus Riley up close and personal, so we’re just going to have one general area and **the earlier you get there, the better space you can secure.**”*

But doesnt that mean everyone doesnt get a fair *viewing* share even though everyone pays the same hiked ticket price?

A giant boost to the economy.... Why hasnt it worked all these years then? I'm confused dry dock cruise ship repair seems like a very specialized skill that RCI will for decades to come hire only foreigners to fill. Bahamians will be hired for security and garbage cleanup. While this could be a lifeline for someone without a job, it does nothing to "*boost*" Bahamians, and that's what we need to move forward, "**Bahamians**" need to be boosted

Historically these developments are boosts to lawyers and accountants with political connections while the country as a whole crumbles. Atlantis worked because it directly enriched Bahamians

ROTFL, I understand there will also be a debate about the kitchen sink
