Another committee meeting when everybody knows the practice of quieting land is largely carried out by rich land owners to steal land. Just go in parliament on Tuesday and outlaw it

"*Arawak Homes has been provided with documents for 55 homes thus far in a bid to resolve the woes involving land ownership in the Pinewood Gardens and Nassau Village area.*"

What should be happening is **anyone who bought homes in Pinewood gardens should be given a land swap from Arawak Homes owned property and Pinewood should be turned into a natural reserve, it should never have been developed and it's impossible for anyone who developed that land having had to have surveyed it not to know that**. It doesnt make any sense to wait for the next heavy rain and spring tide to take pictures of people wading through waist high water then swoop in with promises of help and dumb talk about climate change. More like Pirates Restituta

Maybe all Warsilla cared about was a pay cheque, who knows?

And maybe all the minister cared about was a separate pay cheque.

A new minister in position now, time for someone else to get paid

Ive noticed this fuel price analysis in the newspapers and on radio.

People just report whatever no sense the gas dealers put out. Oh gas is now 16 dollars "*inflation, you know...*". Not one ounce of effort to actually investigate whats really going on with prices globally and if it has any impact here. Literally 2 days after OPEC announced theyd be cutting fuel production the Tribune had Bastian reporting that some dealers had "already" raised prices and the reporter couldnt out 2 and 2 together that there was no corellation or basis for the price increase

You are right, BEC says whatever because weve shown we will swallow ehatever

You been peaking in my brain. All morning I been thinking that Keith Bell is the male version of Lanisha Rolle. No sound judgement. and he will be allowed to skate from one embarrassment to another until his final hurrah blows the mess over the entire party (I just see I was peaking in @mandela brain)

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

**Finally** someone has spoken up regarding the amateur climate scientists who report every rain drop as evidence of climate change. Heavy rainfall is normal for us. Its been so for centuries. Im not even certain if Dorian is evidence of climate change as Ive heard Wayne Neely speak often about the phenomenon of *100 year storms*. I couldnt believe it the other day when a news article was a "dark cloud" in Abaco. Nobody enjoys bad weather but everything een climate change

Our flooding issues are largely poor drainage planning and encroachment into swamp land. Its like a community moving into the heart of the woods and then complaining about the large increase in bear attacks, *whats going on with the bears?*

I agree with Shepherd this bill sets in place legal grounds for govt to directly compete with farmers. Even more disturbing that govt could potentially collude with a group of farmers to the disadvantage of others. BAMSI has in fact been doing this since its inception. A bad practice has now been legalized for some minister to defend their actions with a pronouncement that "*the law allows us to do this*"

Seems the only laws that can get passed in this country are the self serving ones

Govt competing with business is a very bad thing for 2 reasons, businesses cant compete with the reach and power of govt "generally" and govt is very bad at business. "Kill" 2 birds with one stone. What seems like a good thing could destroy businesses leaving govt as the sole provider of services only to eventually fail at it ultimately leaving an industry decimated.

"*It appears the business licence he referred to may actually be the licences and permits granted by the Securities Commission.*"

Well that would be weird, because ArawakX has been vocal about how long and drawn out their application process with the Securities Commission was. Maybe the Tribune should ask.

"*sign on the beach at Goodman’s Bay caught the attention this week. It said that only guests could access some beach areas next to the resort. It had disappeared by yesterday.*"

The first person to come out and say *nothing to see here, oops we made a mistake*, was a Bahamian spokesperson. It was also a Bahsmian spokesperson who tried to sell us how good oil drilling would be for the nation. A Bah as mian who promised that the Disney cruise ship development on Eleuthera would not spoil the remote beach... we shall see. A Bahamian who sold us on the promise of FTX. A Bahamian who's now been pushed in front as the face of the RCI project.

The international conglomerates have our number. Buy a Bahamian. Cheap.

I find the discussion in parliament mind boggling. They're trying to tell me that tens of thousands of people left the country for jobs elsewhere, meaning they had to apply for visas, and leave on a one way flight, and Immigration doesnt have a clue?
