Weird. Did the event promoter not pay the party permission fee?

The federation should be made to explain on what basis they barred the athletes from performing.

Not so much the insurance company, but "Road Traffic". Road Traffic has to log the date of the insurance policy. So if you went into them today with your new policy that starts tomorrow, theyd reject it. Its nonsensical, but that's what happens when companies digitize, spend millions on software but dont actually test systems against real world scenarios. This is very common. Testing takes times, needs time to plan, resources to do it and costs money so most companies dont, they cross their fingers and pray for the best, make statements like, *nothing is perfect* or do "something" to pretend like they did it. Then they spend the next five years trying to work around all the problems they introduced

No better example than the insurance company that lost millions on newly installed improperly tested software that couldnt efficiently process claims. I believe it was Bahamas First

May 2024 Tribune article by Neil Hartnell: "*Bahamas First's Cayman subsidiary has been plagued with problems stemming from delays in processing claims as a result of introducing a new information technology (IT) system. Ms Treco conceded this had resulted in "a loss of business", with the improvements and corrections made unlikely to be fully felt until Bahamas First's 2025 financial year.*

"*Persons who have the bully pulpit and so forth have to use it responsibly because when they talk down the economy, they impact everybody,” he argued.”They are not just impacting the Government, they’re impacting everybody because, eventually, somebody in Toronto who’s in charge of risk at one of the Canadian banks can say, you know what, the economy in The Bahamas isn’t doing so good. We’ll reduce the credit levels.*"

If someone in Toronto in charge of Credit Risk bases their decisions solely on what someone on a talk show says, they're *dumber* than us.

That's not how it works. They gather information, check legitimate news sources, examine world markets and trends, place all of that into their models, perform some analysis and then come up with an assessment.

Only in the Bahamas are knee jerk existential economic decisions made by talk show.

They cant do that. The dates have to align with your insurance policy. What the insurance companies should have done and still can do, i.e., should be doing is, allow persons to purchase insurance up to their birthdate then thereafter purchase 6month or annual contracts. Or issue a new contract at birthdate crediting the prorated balance from the old policy.

Said the same weeks ago

Lol

I stopped buying all meat with the exception of fish after purchasing nicely packaged spoiled chicken priced at extortion levels. I dont buy the "*we're doing everything we can to keep cost low*" line. What I actually see is, "*we can offer you any poor quality goods and service, at the A-1 price, because you have to come to us anyway*"

*"What they have to do, and **it’s amazing, surprising,** but they have to do it,” he told Tribune Business. “They have to do their market research...*"

Two years ago, I asked a retailer to do a simple exercise of looking in their surrounding neighbourhood to assess the competition. They never did it. **It's not "surprising",** they simply never thought to do obvious work to justify their business model.

I'm lost. Did nobody forsee the obvious? That this was a very dangerous mission and that all semblance of law and order could disappear? Why send the men then tell them days after they can leave *if* they want with incoming and outgoing flights a very dangerous proposition
