I dont get our reporters' trend to not list facts. She was swimming near Sandals it's a fact. The intl news will certainly report it, they wont say "an island said to be located in the caribbean allegedly on beach"
"*Citing the changes as critical to developing an economy driven by innovation*"
They must be reading my posts, because after years of talking about digital innovation in 2023 they just realize innovators want better protection?. Sadly, the law will likely have a clause, IP cant be infringed unless at the discretion of the minister or in the interest of national security. Nobody will trust IP protection in the Bahamas. Nobody. Better to file in a foreign country and request intl coverage
I agree with the last statement. It appears the trend is for the PM to take the Finance or Environment post so they can control everything. And thats ok if they have control. But for 3 out of 5 PMs theyve been completely lazy in the role. Its inexcusable for a minister of finance to say they had no idea about a critical fuel hedge resulting in a tripling of consumer electrical rates.
This PM in particular appears to want the role of an ambassador, having taken up the airy-fairy climate debate. I classify it as airy-fairy not because its not important but because its clear to me that no world leader is serious about doing anything about it, King Charles the greatest proponent didnt even show up to his first climate conference as king. It appears to me that the climate fight has become a great stage for posturing, making impassioned speeches and mixing with the rich and famous but not much else.
Anyone else heard about 200 sq acres of mangroves that were destroyed last week? **200 sq acres of Mangroves.. you know the things the govt made a big deal about replenishing and replanting in the climate fight. 200 sq ACRES. destroyed. last week. Not one peep from the climate PM about it. That tells us everything we need to know**
Low margins on fuel are an industry standard. While I agree with them on onerous govt taxes, the business model is no longer viable. The problem is there are too many operators and not enough customers. Thats the reality. For many stations its a common sight to see them empty 80% of the day. We cant just continue to increase fuel prices because everybody wants to run a profitable station, that would be disastrous for the economy. Gas and electrical costs underpin everything.
Its difficult to rate this team because they dont get the opportunity to play together at least once a week. individual skills if they have them will fall away with lack of team cohesion. Theyre clearly outclassed by their competition just as the mens team is, it will likely take years to develop the talent to compete effectively, hype won't equate to wins. But you can support even teams that lose because its your team.
