"*Mr Lashley explained that the Central Bank has seen a “gradual uptick” in the amount of Sand Dollar customers,*"
This is bad interpretation. What's really happening is the Central Bank is running an aggressive *install the app campaign* by, as stated previously, giving away money through radio contests. There is nothing wrong with that because the first and hardest step is to get someone to download install and register. What needs to be added to this data for a true picture of what is happening is, how many of those persons reload their accounts, use the funds and how long do they continue to reload with their own money. Forcing people to use the app through mandatory govt services is another bad ploy as we can see, immediately after the COVID *you have to take payment in Sand Dollars*, everybody stopped using it.
The whole thing was ill thought out by people who dont understand technology and simply jumped on the digital is the wave of the future bandwagon. You can easily tell them, look at anyone using the term "AI" as today's cureall, they generally dont know what they're talking about #bandwagon
Funny you said that, when I read the headline I thought why is there this big desire to meet with the Pope, he's not God and he doesnt have exclusivity on a connection to God. The veil in the temple was ripped 2000+ years ago. It also doesn't seem like the only way to get to Canada is through a connecting flight in Italy. Whats the point? Do this when food prices arent skyrocketing and people arent starving
You are correct. He would have made a better analogy if he'd also said
"*remember the wild wild west where anything goes?Whenever you have **anything new and nobody is watching**, people will do all kinds of things for their personal gratification*"...
not the dotcom bubble, that was about speculation on air, this on the other hand was about planning a straight up robbery and finding a jurisdiction that couldnt care to be bothered to question the presence of the guns, lone ranger masks, tape and rope
"*She retired voluntarily*"... yeah, after we made the environment so distasteful and put so much pressure on her that she finally left in disgust. Hooray for corruption!
Imagine if the PM had stood up like a real leader and said: this is an example of the vigilance we want in our civil servants, if you see something wrong say something, because we want to portray the image of an efficient transparent govt. We thank Mrs Ferguson and as a token of our appreciation we present her the first Civil Guardian award of 5 thousand dollars.
If the PM had made such a statement would Mrs Ferguson have retired?
You forgot the fact that the people in Andros were bathing and drinking fuel for 10months from a BPL oil spill before any public acknowledgement from BOL. No public announcements not to use ground water, nothing from the ministry of Health.
Dont speak about Grand Bahama where for almost a decade residents spoke about weird smells, ground shaking, explosions and strange activity including men in hazmat suits walking around (the latter was one incident reported in the Tribune, sound of an explosion then men seen in hazmat suits and NO announcement from the govt), people dying of cancer and nothing.
Then theres the Equinor spill, the farmer being advised that he could not sell his animals due to oil contamination, was his property cordoned off? Were signs posted? How far did the contamination extend? Nothing.
**In the US these incidents would be the cause for serious fines against the offending companies**
Our high cancer rates are most likely due to more than just genetics but decades upon decades of covered up poisonings
Is he good enough for another team to pick him up despite the baggage? This is when the parliamentarians need to show up in the pics... when he needs them not when they need him for publicity. I hope he regroups and comes back a stronger athlete. He needs a strong male authority
"*As the news comes that Kenya’s deployment of police officers to the country has run into a legal challenge, our own consideration of sending Bahamians into Haiti to tackle gang violence there has had surprisingly little discussion.*"
Because our MP candidates dont go to the house to waste their time thinking. 99% are looking for Get Rich Quick Avenue off Shingles for Sale St
