Wrong again. Thank you. Roosevelt know what I mean, the true definition of power in leadership as opposed to beating everybody over the head to show you in charge

He's clearly getting money from whomever he pitched the project to, they saw the growth potential, decided to back him, now they see a legal avenue for appeal and wish to proceed with it. Many people have tried to float the narrative that he doesnt have the funding for the project as a justification to reject him, clearly that isnt the case.

The problem is way bigger than those 2 men. Many "respectable" men in expensive suits are preying on their female employees and mentees. The only difference is name recognition and willingness of the police to prosecute. This is why we need to select our leaders on character and ethics, popularity is not enough.

Something is happening. Men are by nature sexual creatures but this is an aberration. Our minds are being fed a constant diet of sex, marijuana, gambling and alcohol highs. I've heard some people plant seeds about legalizing prostitution. It's the exact opposite of what we need. We need young men to start thinking soberly not to be taught that every vice should be indulged

"*The Bahamas must focus on “how we grow from here” because returning to pre-COVID’s $13bn economic output is “not sufficient to take the ship of state forward”,*

This is how leaders speak and how our "*leaders*" should be speaking. Feel good election campaign rhetoric does nothing to move us forward

They did not state that "*This is the 3rd time we've spoken to/communicated directly with this business and they refuse to comply*". The govt has spent 3+ million on digitization, sending, at the most basic, a mail merge email to the list of these 50,000 organizations in violation shouldnt be hard. And of course each communication is spaced to allow time to comply, not for example sending 3 on 3 consecutive days to say 3 were sent

If they had communicated directly, they would have mentioned it. I'll accept that I could be very wrong, but communication doesnt appear to be their strong point.

Has no correlation to whether the method used was overly aggressive and unnecessary. This could have been justified as the 3rd strike, not the first. Its clearly the opposite of Churchill's sane and wise statement on leadership, "*walk softly and carry a big stick*"

"*they also slammed Mr Ray and his team for asserting that FTX and its indicted co-founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, enjoyed a cosy relationship with the Prime Minister, Ryan Pinder KC, the attorney general, and the Securities Commission.*"

what was a member of the SC board doing with shovel in hand at the FTX ground breaking? It is odd. And if its bern standard practice for the regulator to be at the ground breaking of organizations they seek to regulate, they need to stop.

I suspect its the gf who's telling the tale of cozy relationships

It's not so much about *not being caring*, sometimes they simply don't know. You don't need to understand why a patient has a fever and as rash to prescribe tylenol or an antibiotic. Patient cured! But the knowing of "why" can lead to heading off the crisis 3 months down the road that was signaled by the fever

Exactly. People are praising this action but something is wrong with this process, these guys resolved the accounts in days. Even taking the equipment off the island... extremely stupid. Put some wheel locks on them, now you open yourself to the risk of transferring them back to Nassau then back again in rough weather. There must be other smarter ways to collect...
