"*Why does anyone care that pigs can swim out into the water to get a piece of food? I don’t understand this.”*"

You and me both

"*Central Bank recently reported that the credit balances on all digital wallets like Sand Dollar and others decreased by a whopping $31 million*"

Falsely inflated.

The govt "forced" social services recipients to accept COVID assistance payments via digital wallets. Now that that assistance is done, no more money flowing through digital wallets.

Reminds me of the CEB Company that the govt would roll out as an example of investors wanting to base tech companies in the Bahamas that eventually scaled down to a call center then was hand delivered a contract from the govt ~essentially so they could stay open... *GIB Digital*(?) or something like that

"*Machinery and Energy (M&E) Limited presented officials with a 426 Backhoe, Skid-Steer Loader and a Sullair 375 Air Compressor with a Jackhammer.*"

3 vehicles for 14 major islands? This the plan? Ok some points for effort, but give us some useful information, clearly this equipment will replace the work of one maybe 2 contractors, it could only be in one place at a time, and the ministry has all the information of work that had to be done for the last 10 years. Tell us what youll save in time cost and quality. Since it isnt in tbe report, and this was a biiiggg deal to them since the minister show up for the photo,... they havent thought about it. this was a PR look we doing something election purchase

"*If we were to put them in an area whereby we’re trying to do water, say, for example, a tank, this pump would probably collapse the tank because it’s pumping faster than probably that tank can actually support that pressure going into it,” he said*"

as I thought... uncoordinated

Seriously? A year later? After the oil went where it had to go, namely in livers of Androsians? Please pay for them people lab work.

Is this is the best they have to offer just stay closed till 2026. Bought and sold.

Very happy to see Jazz doing well and looking to assist children in the Bahamas. Exemplary.

The manager looks nice. Nice clean slimcut outfit. Nice watch. Not a fan of tattoos, but one arm from a "good" artist (not the random stratches some people have), in shades that go well with skin tone (some dark skinned people end up look like they was pummeled with a hammer, there must be a good colour somewhere), especially if the accompanying outfit is "*clean*", is stylish these days. Its chic and understated, Jazz' stylish should model this look. Too much is always too much.

they want to smoke it while selling peanuts because God is everwhere. If they argue on religious grounds they cant make a mickery. Religious ceremonies happen at a holy place. Im also baffled by the Pharisees and sadducees who show up with bullhorn "*wherever*". Surely in 2023 theres no need to do that in The Bahamas as an example of evangelizing, its more of a show. I think even in China and Russia the gospel has been told for those who have ears to hear

Its outrageous. Where could this happen?The company could have loterally gotten away with a *get my daughter into Harvard University and we good*. Outrageous. Having Brave Davis as czar of carbon credits is another *transparency be damned* slap in the face

"***If there is something brewing that *WE FEEL* the population should know about, we will do it.***"

And that's the problem, public health is a science, when the incident rate is X we report, it's not about when you *feel* like telling us, we know how that go. **To date you havent "*felt*" yet like telling the people in Andros they was drinking fuel with well water**

That's everyone in hearing distance's cry apparently.

In the last 20 years has the IDB ever reported that the billions in loans granted the govt have had any success? If so what percentage?

The head of the global body has to take as look at why with all of this money given there is little of equal value to show for it. I'm positive one proponent will point out the digitization project. How much have they spent todate? 5-10million for 30 google forms? Does anyone really believe that's equity? Someone will then point out infrastructure. There are a few businesses around here that have systems that dwarf govts and I'll bet they didnt invest anywhere near 10 million, or even, 5 to do so.

The reports also need to stop pointing fingers at "*lack of talent or capacity*", it's a lie from hell. The problem is the decision makers. Too often these people are politically connected well dressed PR-ready stooges who dont have the first clue about what they're overseeing** The IDB needs to find a model that bypasses the politics and actually engages talent at non extortionate costs, presents a feasible plan with costs before projects begin and has effective control mechanisms in place and reports in real time on progress and expenditures**. What we've gotten from Minnis and Davis is nonsense about reporting costs 8-24 months after the completion of an exercise.

**Govt control doesnt work. Quasi govt which is essentially govt doesnt work**

Now Davis has given himself sole custody of the carbon credits fund. if it takes in anything that fund will be raided just like NIB to support for private profit projects and election campaigning
