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

Notwithstanding that govt taxes and fees and duties are waaay too high on every conceivable thing, less retailers is likely a part of the solution. The problem with most businesses in the Bahamas is everybody expects to do exactly the same thing and make 100% profit off of a very small market. It leads to astronomical prices. No matter what time period you refer to for modern Bahamas prices have always been outrageous, for everything.
If there were less retailers, each would have more customers, their margins would be low and profits would depend on volume like they do everywhere else in the world.
There would be no empty gas stations for 80% of the day. Business would be constant.
It's not a Christian nation. That's utter foolishness. It just sounds nice to say it. The bible talks about being "*in the world but not of the world*", to me that means be sensible but maintain your value system. It is not sensible to allow an open illegal migration flow from a poor nation with 12 million people to a poor nation with 450,000 people. We have an illusion of not being a poor nation that illusion is crumbling as food, housing and gas prices creep up. The question is what is the sensible alternative that would provide help.
Summary: they dont know who was on board. No passenger manifest for a commercial transport. Let's hear all the rules they'll put in place to prevent this from happening. Repeatedly. They claim 22 but who knows?
Islanders who use these transports as a means to get to and from work, please buy a life vest and wear it the entire trip. You could be rendered unconscious and unable to swim or tred water. The only person concerned about your safety is you.
The solution is to stem the tide and send a strong message that we cannot sustain an open door immigration policy. The US with all the money, resources, jobs and land in the world cant do it how can we? **Parliament needs to invoke the clause in the constitution that allows them to change the *age 18 - right to apply* on national security grounds.The continuous influx of illegal immigrants from a country with a population 24 times our size is a clear and present danger to national security.** Does this immigration imbalance exist anywhere else?
The solution to Haiti is Haiti. We can only help with economic growth innovation and obliterating corruption. Right now we're on a sure path to becoming like Haiti.
I'm beginning to believe the reason this issue cant be fixed by any administration is because it's like the carnival pay to play. When you in charge you get the money when we in charge we get the money.
The FNM did nothing for them either, I have a real problem with this deification of Obie or anyone, based on nothing. He was a great communications man, given, better than most, but what did his representation do? Did he stand up in the house repeatedly and say my people in West End are being neglected or was it good enough to hold a safe seat over a Stockholm syndrome people who would not abandon him no matter how badly they were neglected?
"*would hope they put somebody in place that will do something for us like Obie did.”*
What did he do? He represented West End for 15 of the last 22 years..70%. What did he do to advance your community other than give a smile and a warm greeting? That is how his representation should be judged
How did Rolle survive the FTX and ArawakX unbelievable regulatory oversights and subsequent implosions (60mins had them for lunch) but Keturah Ferguson is out for actually doing her job?
