now they want Toby to resubmit his application. Madness. They have all the supporting documents. Its not like his application or ID documents expired. The only thing they need to do is issue the letter Minnis refused to issue.

lol. Exactly

Faith in humanity?? I'm talking about politics in the Bahamas. I have great hope for the rest of mankind. Saying Toby *still has his land* is like wishing a franchise owner *all the best* after giving permission to Disney World to open the same franchise next door. Sure you might make a go of it, but your original vision is shot to hell.

This "*it's too much for him*" is insidious. If he were a political crony who was getting contract after contract solely because of his party affiliation that's one thing, but if he is someone who came up with an idea, fought for the idea for over 10 years its cruel to tell him *this too much for you, everybody gat to get a piece*. Go find your own idea.

You keep saying its "me". I'm talking about Bahamians. I'll be fine as will the 12000 persons you know who have 1000 to invest. The other 200,000???

Actually, my cynicism has zero bounds, Ive seen too much of how this country works. And while you may think it's only me, I once asked for advice on a business venture from a noted local lawyer and THEY said to me, don't ask noone in the Bahamas, dis a funny place. They was right. So no I don't think Mr Maura wants guest to go anywhere outside the port. They already tell them *if you chance it leave your valuables on the ship*

What happened to Toby was sacrilege, you happy because you see yourself profiting off another Bahamian's ill treatment.

Spoken just like one of the privileged. "*stop spending money on numbers!*". You have no idea of the suffering in this country. I often wondered if COVID and Dorian came to give you a heart, many man yuh people who thought th eff y were "safe" found out otherwise, maybe the universe has to send you a stronger message.

"*the president of the taxi union, Wesley Ferguson, sent out a voice note last month that seemed to be against the interests of his own members.*

*He said that it was better for a foreign business to be granted Crown land over Bahamians because Bahamians don’t always follow through on their plans – what kind of talk is that?*

Lol lol

"*He admitted there would be no extra money coming to his members because there is no road to the property and visitors will be ferried there by boat – so it was peculiar to hear him being so supportive of a business that will literally take passengers away from his members’ taxis.*"

Maybe an Indian jeweler has promised to give him luxury goods on consignment to operate a jewelry store on Bay St with valuations into the millions.... It didnt turn out well for taxi driver Leon Griffin though...

"*he argued that not all will want “to go and sit on a beach” but, instead, seek out authentic Bahamian experiences involving this nation’s culture, heritage, cuisine and other unique aspects*

Aren't they building an ampitheatre for concerts and plays and a junkanoo museum? Who are we trying to fool? They dont want cruise passengers to go past the gate

You laugh because you're on the small few Bahamians who can A Find 500 dollars and B. spare 500 dollars for shares.

Not implying that you should feel bad that you're successful, but rather that you should have empathy for your fellow Bahamian. "should". You dont have to.

Will never forget how East and Independence hill was cut down to pebbles right up to the fence in people's back yards (out of spite) to build a shopping mall. We shouldnt have to sacrifice our environment to get mega rich.

Of course not. If the Bahamas gets destroyed for the "locals" but we still making money, who cares?
