Why was this even a thing? Why are we searching so hard for a storm to respond to? We dont want a storm. Thank goodness we havent had one so far. The report should be we dodged a bullet not look how well we handled this. There was nothing to handle. In fact our benchmarks for heavy rains should be did drainage improve. Drainage was terrible.

I was saying it doesnt exist... its not there. Its a very odd press release. Just an announcement of this "betterment" agreement with no indication of what is being "*bettered*" (yes I know thats not a word... so it fits perfectly). It just looks like an effort to give soneone more money

"*That’s not a mandate. That is false. But what Customs said to them is that the system is designed for electronic indices of data. That’s the way the system is designed.*

"*The way it is being utilised now is not in keeping with the design of the system, and we want them to use the system the way it is designed.*

... this is completely backwards. very very very very poor system design. *use it because this what we built.*

in total contradiction to the fundamental principle of software design, systems should be designed for the way people work

"*the rejuvenation project, said to be the brainchild of Prime Minister Phillip Davis*"

Vaughn Miller couldnt come up with an idea of beautifying the ciuntry?

"*Miller also said the project is estimated to cost the government over $1.5m.*"

I hope this isnt another slush fund that sees people who cant even bend properly getting large contracts to do manual labour because I dont see anything different from regular work projected

"*following Mr Miller’s contribution, Free National Movement Leader Michael Pintard asked who will be awarded the contracts and whether the contracts will go through a tender process.*

*In response, Minister Miller said: “Rest assured that whatever guidelines or regulations are in place, we will abide by that.”*

Remember this is the same Vaughn Miller who complained a year ago that he was prevented from giving out contracts to **his** people

Read the article for definition of "betterment" and the result in quality we'd expect to see. Also no indication on what betterment costs. ..

Here is why this is anti innovation. They created an initiative where they clearly have issues with adoption. But they've put a moratorium on anyone else creating better solutions. In an innovative environment someone else would come along, see the problem with what was being offered and produce a better way. Their policy position is, we dont want a better way because it wouldn't be ours, use this or else, and we can force you to use this by eliminating all the alternatives. Its anti innovation. And they got an innovation award for it, I never understood that

lol. I think alot of people are being mesmerized by terms that make you sound smart, "digital transformation", "block chain", "tokens", "cryoto" and "cashless"

This is wrong way innovation. Said from when they forced people to accept sanddollar as payment during COVID that it was the very opposite of innovation

During COVID, I found alot of people started using the terms digital transformation and employing strategies to digitally transform without understanding what it requires

Why would you even pose that question? Someone murdered this man and he's suddenly gay based on nothing? And being gay doesnt make you violent being violent makes you violent, gay or heterosexual

"*Maillis said he questioned former prime minister, Dr Hubert Minnis, about what he asserted was a policy under the last administration of “procuring and allowing the decommissioning of the remaining great fresh water lenses of New Providence which, I shall be submitting, will have disastrous consequences for the people of New Providence in shifting the water business to machine purified water with all the dangers of equipment failure and rising production costs”.*

This is unbelievable if true, and if the current govt maintains this direction everytime the PM gets up to lecture any international body about what theyre doing to us poor islands the entire room should get up and walk out.

Who's getting the water contracts? Did DR Minnis have a beneficial interest?

We seriously have no rudder if we do this. Did they not see Dorian destroy every man made system? And they want to put concrete over our fresh water supply?

What are we selling off next? Maybe we'll be selling off portions of our sea water to foreign buyers
