He has to defend. He had oversight for the majority of the time... That's all I say

The day they send them I hope they are ready to see a damaged Bahamian flag. You cant send young men into a war and pretend the best case scenario will always happen. If you commit, be prepared to deal with the worst. That's as much as I'll say

Posted on the article about the 1000% increase in boat registration fees

"*The model is wrong....The correct model would marry a price thats in line with what marinas in the region charge. Then add on top of that proper enforcement whether thats overfishing fines, pollution fines, violation of protected species laws. The problem we have is, its easy and brainless to charge 10 times what other countries are charging and claim how well your doing because revenue increased (it didnt), its much harder and takes more thought and planning to implement and maintain a system of enforcement*

They should have called their friend *AI*

I'm now convinced they will never learn from any of these absolutist policy misfires.

Absolutism, moratoriums, are the opposite of adoption. Adoption happens because people *want* to.

**this** is design. From Geographyrealm.com
"*...Some urban planners utilize this information to create new trails, paving the desire paths that were once informal dirt or gravel footpaths. These planners understand that people have created a path that **works for them** and work to include this information in their designs.*

Will never forget the advice of the FS on the launch of clicktoclear, "*this how the system works, people just have to change the way they do things... *"

I somewhat disagree with your point because they are expressing a reality. They havent as yet reached the point of enlightenment when they realize that that reality will forever exist. Its predestined for man to judge man *first* by what they see. Once they reach their enlightenment they will realize their efforts are better served if they focus on moving toward their purpose *despite* the roadblocks, artificially generated or not.

And there are some whose purpose is the fight for "*equality*"... they can get closer to the goal .... for example we're no longer in *physical* chains...

The smuggler told the reporter how the thing operates, its right there..

"***If you don’t have a boat, you get money up front to buy a boat*"**

**Money up front??? You dont get "*money up front*", from yourself. From who then?** Clearly people with lots of money, enough to buy a boat for anyone who wants to be *in the game*. The people we looking for have large businesses, many of them fronts for laundering money. The perfect business are high volume low value transaction businesses. Land purchases are also a great way to launder money, look at people buying up lots of real estate. Winning govt contracts, grossly overpriced, or having a compatriot with "*discretion*" to bypass a bidding process and hand you 4m dollars, could also give you access to huge amounts of money, recall the 16m contract for removing garbage. (From public testimony shingle purchase was involved.)

The smuggler has basically told us that the Bahamas is operating a sophisticated, heavily and locally funded, smuggling operation at the highest levels. Its impossible to run such an operation on a tiny island and nobody in the business of oversight is the wiser.

"*When you in is your turn*"

"*But just to come back to the point that there is this huge bias in the climate sector. It is enormous*"

They havent lived long enough... there is huge bias everywhere. In auto mechanics, gymnastics, soccer, medicine, technology, culinary arts, news media... everywhere. It's not fair anywhere but the truth is you have to be better and you have to prove yourself... again... and then again. And then someone will express surprise at how articulate you are. Laws and political correctness will never change it.

We have our own elitism here, it's based on *who you is* and *what you wearin*.

"*Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart*". The bible is the best life coaching, motivational, life skills book ever written

The only plausible explanation is if Omni owed other taxes and the govt is trying to claim that the money Omni remitted to them covered the other taxes so SeaZPass money is outstanding. It would be a stretch because there would be a clear line of revenue being generated from SeaZPass and not Omni's other business lines. "If" that's what govt done, it might even be illegal, because Omni and SeaZPass' relationship is governed by a contract. The money doesnt belong to Omni. **IF** in this scenario even if govt accepted money as Omni's payment for its other taxes it wouldnt be legal. It's the exact same scenario local charities find themselves in with Sam, it wasnt his money to give.

But this is speculation, since its "*secret*"
