Leave the biblical rational out of it. The bible is Gods word to **his** people, unless you're talking to a group of christians it's **not** the guide book. And I'm going to bet there are more non christians than christians in this country, going to church and sunday school doesnt make you a christian
They wait until they thought it was safe to announce it. Nobody forget that they bypassed a Bahamian who had the idea first and gave it away to a foreigner
I completely add agree with criminalizing marital rape. But I do not believe a court would or should accept "*I didnt feel like it*" as justification for a rape charge, because rape is a serious charge. I'd expect the judge to say find other accomodations. I'd expect that this charge would be levied when evidence of serious abuse mental or physical is taking place.
That said, 60 is a very small sample size to make generalizations about the entire population. If these married women are all employed by COB or live in a particular neighbourhood you might be able to generalize about that subset
Nobody destroyed them. They were designed for temperatures below 0 degrees. That fact by itself should have given someone pause. The Tribune has detailed accounts of issues with mold
Do we understand the full import of what happened here?
"*people have been writing in, asking for domes for certain purposes and we have approved these on a case by case basis.....People want to use them for chicken coops...*"
**We spent 6 million dollars for 100 repurposed chicken coups.**
And that een the problem. The real problem happen when Minnis announce he'd found some new housing technology that could withstand 200mph winds. The 1st day the tribune posted the photo I said, "*but thats an igloo, are they designed for tropical climates*"?
Where was the cabinet minister out of 39 ministers asking, *why we buying igloos in the Bahamas??* Ask DAguilar or Iram Lewis if anyone ask that question. Cause if 39 men at the head of the country could approve 6m dollars without asking it, and we have a pastor erecting roofs at schools that crumble like London bridge, what are we doing??.
Let's just have a fire sale one time. Sell us to Saudi Arabia, our men and women could benefit from their summer dress wear, we dont need all this wool and spandex. Ain't someone say our flag design belong to them? That solve that problem, we dont need a flag anymore either. Just shut everything down. I tired.
"*However, Philip Simon, Royal Caribbean’s Bahamas country chief, in today’s paper argues that the cruise line will expand the market for all and not seize it all for itself via the Royal Beach Club. He added that plans to increase the number of passengers it brings to Nassau by 150 percent by 2027, taking this to 2.5m compared to pre-COVID’s one million, **will grow the pie for all** cruise-reliant businesses. Of that 2.5m, only 40 percent will go to Paradise Island (see Page1B).*
Poppycock. The black face for FTX sold us a similar story. The cruise industry's new model is clearly to create a *cruise country* on the outskirts of the Bahamas that excludes Bahamians. Its basically the Albany of the Sea. I wonder what they would do if every weekend a flotilla of Bahamians showed up with their own tents and refreshments to enjoy *our* beach *up to the high water mark*?
Nassau gone, PI gone, Eleuthera gone, Long Island next and who knows what the next parliamentary realtor will sell off for 6% and porridge.
And Pamela Musgrove said about 5 years ago, ~*the model is wrong*. More tourists diminishing returns. It doesnt make sense.
Why is our infrastructure crumbling as tourism minister after tourism minister gets up to crow about cruise arrivals? It doesnt make sense. The model isnt working. The focus on body count hides the true picture
When you said most Bahamians are blissfully unaware of certain aspects of the tourism industry, I thought you were getting at the reason the project was approved, i.e. "*money and where it goes".... and it's not trickling down
I see they sell off Long Island too. We'll soon see another black token telling us how wonderful it will be for the local economy with 1 fire truck and a broken down "*regatta site*" more minimum wage jobs for us, yay (not knocking honest work, but where the billions going?"
