Driving on the streets of Nassau yesterday, do you know what I realized? The greatest irony. Most of our high ground today was preserved by white people pre independence who recognized the value of a hill. Post independence the black governance razed the entire capital to the ground to sell the very survival of Bahamians for profits. **Are they still dredging on Athol Island?**
**Most of the flooding we see today has nothing to do with climate change. Its "*foolish man and greedy land barron built his house upon the sand syndrome*"**
Ok can the govt tell us exactly how many people live in these areas that have been ordered to evacuate as well as the hurricane shelters they're supposed to evacuate to and the maximum capacity of those shelters? And why are they constantly sending annoying alerts to the entire bahamas if the evacuation target is the outer cays? Shouldnt they send those messages to the administrators in the area and by their "*well thought out plan*", disseminate in the community? And what is this about police forcibly removing people from over 12 named cays??? How? And with what equipment?
***"Evacuation order for RV Trailer Park*"? where 14 year old girl was raped and accounts of trailers being used for prostitution and other illegal activity months ago??". Seriously??? Dorian was FIVE years ago**
The action the govt should be taking is removing the risk. Many of these persons are immigrants, some illegally residing here, the majority of which by clear evidence do not have the financial resources to live here. This pattern by the govt is too common. Allow the breakdown of **order** for some short term monetary gain, some alledgedly pocketed, then when crisis hits hold their head screaming we have an emergency.
Weather is unpredictable, but we do have experience with tropical depressions and hurricanes of various strengths, bad weather, heavy rain and associated impact. This is 50mph. I hope the govt is not trying to make political hay out of this.
I did not find any estimates on storm surge of a system right over us and none are given here so it's even more strange.
Time will tell. I see reports of 4-8" of rain which isnt trivial but these are over scattered areas. 35mph with already soggy ground... Literally only time will tell.
Not sure it calls for hysterics but potential for minor/moderate damage is there
I bet you would feel a way if colleagues took you to a party out adelaide and then post argument drove off without you
This isnt trivial. This is a military institution where a man alledged he was targeted by his superior officer for an extended period of time, not just this single incident, subjected to repeatedly bullying and mental abuse that finally turned physical resulting in at minimum loss of teeth. How badly do you have to be pummeled in the head to lose teeth. Despite all this, noone in other ranks of command or colleagues have spoken up to detail the abuse. This is weird. We saw another senior officer abusing teenagers a few weeks ago forcing them in some accounts to perform sexually explicit acts.
When noone does anything, it always gets worse. Abusive bad and bullying leadership become engineers of attrocities. When not given boundaries, the human mind has no limit on the depths to which it can sink in the torture of others under its total control
If dislike for Belinda Wilson is placed on the side, clearly the teachers know their students capabilities. It cannot be that the student only demonstrates this advanced linguistic ability picked up during "afterschool tutoring" when they have an at home assignment. Meanwhile, when tested in class they cant spell apple or distinguish their from there.
Exactly what does "registration" mean? I highly doubt the organization was going around checking to see if swing sets were properly installed. This is a Ministry of Works oversight failure.
This is the same lame argument and half baked premise that brought us the CEB bill. If foreign techies wanted to work here in the thousands, theyd be here. They dont.
"*The short answer is that September this year is off from September last year,”*"
Clearly the Ministry of Tourism under Chester Cooper is doing something wrong, since from 2021 they claimed all credit for the post COVID global tourism boom. The credit for the reverse now has to be claimed as well.
