Strange article that ignores the govt sanctioned environmental damage we are doing to ourselves while the PM goes around the world lecturing countrues on what theyre doing to us. I wait for the day when another country leader stands up and shows before and after hill structures in Nassau and Andros, 1967 to present day, and questions the PM on what happened?

As to the poll, I have questions about the "not paid for it" status, were they paid for something else or promised contracts for something else. I have questions about the timing of the poll coming after parliament was prorouged, Mother Pratt appointment ceremony and a few weeks for the ashes to settle on Keith Bell.

Its a strange article

On this one we dont need a whistleblower. Its been clear for sometime that something was wrong. Months ago I made the statement that the way theyre trying to beat blood out of rocks for money from citizens (all while crowing about the tremendous growth of the economy and tourism is back!), the country must be hanging off the economic cliff by its fingernails. They can always *say* anything, their actions will tell

"*Halkitis, though, said Mr Ferguson's concerns had not come to the Government's attention*"

Lol. Ferguson: "*...the Treasury is making selective payments to particular entities, *"... Halkitis: "*it hasnt been brought to our attention that we're making selective payments*"

"*More women*" and "*more young people*", Im confused by both phrases. Would "*More Bahamians*" resolve the flooding by the Pointe? What the country needs is less corruption and more people with character and ethics.

I firmly believe that as a society we have no ethics, we dont even have a concept of what it means, why its it's important or how the absence of it has led to 7 dollar gas at the pump and 3 dollar apples.

I chuckled on hearing the account of US politician Menendez alledged to have illegally assisted a foreign power, the charges read that they found thousands of dollars in cash and gold bars in his house. Gold bars.. lol. My first thought was, he must be a Bahamian.

Funny but not funny.

Two(?) years ago someone I respected said, "*what's wrong with accepting a nice watch or a plane ride?*". Absolutely no understanding that that is how the criminal/manipulator, call it Satan if you wish, buys you. They do it slowly. It's a master marketing plan. Before you know it the man going into Bain Town to buy underage Bahamian girls to sexually molest at his Lyford Cay home is publicly calling you "*his man of business*", and is on video shooting up some unknown drug into his arm as the entire Parliament power broker set sits and smiles. Correction, he sending you to buy the girls to bring to him with you fully aware of his intentions. He's bought your good name. And you no longer blink at any perversion he does or requests of you. And your bishop says I have no problem, tithes get paid regularly.

Would more women make men more appreciative of women's issues, I guess. Would it make the country better? I seriously doubt it. Miriam Immanuel? Lanesha Rolle? I could literally call all of them. No difference. They went along with whatever program was laid before them. Marital rape is a private matter?

We need ethics and less corruption.

This is a great loss for the country. Condolences to his family.

no consumer buys fruit from abroad for price savings... well noone I know... if anyone does Id like to know the secret.

I should have added "they have a sale, *and still make a profit*"

Super value mgmt. Lol. He was right about one thing though and it's very mysterious, they raised the price of produce and I've seen it with my own eyes, the shelves **restocked** with **spoiled** fruit. I'm not in their meetings so I'm only **guessing**, but the only way the restocked produce could be spoiled on the 1st day is if its bused from the more upscale location out West when the Czars and Sultans wont pay for it. Where's the Consumer Protection agency?

"*When you look at growing the Tech sector, you cannot grow it organically with your own people, which is why attracting these tech companies here and bringing workers here is so important.”*"

I always thought that the CEB bill was written by someone in the tech sector to facilitate them bringing in cheap Indian tech workers for their private company...

mainly because as a legal document it had such poor structure and the mention of IT industry just stuck out even with the attempt to bury it under the mention of other industries. It was **odd**.

Then the govt revealed its hand with the announcement of this "*waiver*" that allows any Indian national **anywhere** in the world to fly to the Bahamas to work without a Visa . They didn't announce that any Phillipino anywhere in the world could fly here to work in a boutique healthcare establishment

This is all about sourcing cheap tech labour for someone's personal business

I rarely use rice flour or sugar, as mentioned below our shopping tastes arent 1-1. I buy 4lbs of nuts for 11 dollars. I forget the size of the small container of walnuts that they priced at 16 dollars...I buy fruits that dont spoil quickly. Like oranges. They will last forever
