Completely off topic: I think you can be whoever you want yourself to be, but you cannot force your view on other people. Male transgender athletes should not compete against females, its a ridiculously unfair pairing and male transgender contestants should not compete in a female pageant, what would be the point? While they may identify as a female and have free choice to do so, they are not female.
"*participants need to raise their own funds for expenses*"
That may be true for private contests, but it cannot be true for Miss Bahamas who represents at the national level. Doesnt the organization get money from the govt? Not to be unfair to the organization, the subvention probably isnt enough for all the expenses. But if they hand a contestant a contract saying they'll supply wardrobe the contestant shouldnt be responsible for outfitting themselves.
The claim that Miss Bahamas had to manage the social media page is strange at best, I wonder what that arrangement looked like. I'd expect they might have to have some live appearance events, maybe answer some questions, but I wouldnt expect them to be responsible for making posts about events or appearances
It wasnt rape. She alledges that she was touched inappropriately and when her son tried to help her he was battered *black and blue*, my phraseology, she actually said "*his face was all scrub up*", I guess they mean the same thing. What was equally horrific is her hair was cut and cut very badly. For the life of me, I cannot think of any reason why a person detained for overstaying a visa should have their hair cut, especially a woman. She was also held for 40 days. It cant be that hard to get a flight to Jamaica. I would like to see a sentence passed that has all of the offending officers paying 10% of their income to this young woman for the next 20 years. I want them to feel the weight of their action and restitution for the young lady
The proliferation of these brazen daytime killings started during the COVID lockdown. Daytime was the only opportunity to get at someone. Now that the seed is planted it will be difficult to eradicate.
I wonder what fish will cost now. The trend I've noticed is "talk" of product input increases leads to price increases and the increases are usually not mathematically related to the projected increase in the input. It's usually the desire of the business to see increased profit and seeing an opportunity to sneak it in.
I always use the example of Super Value and the 7.5% VAT implementation. I watched a brand of tissue go from 5 dollars and change to 10 dollars ... on the announcement... **before** VAT was actually implemented. Every month the price would go up a dollar. There was no global shortage, no wars, no electricity increase, no duty increase, just an announcement that 7.5% VAT was coming. Ironically it was a cost the customer not the business would pay but the price of this item increased 100% based on nothing.
