Just a general, unrelated comment, I recall when the allegations were made against Nygard. Just "*allegations*", no trial and men, all men, popped up to say what a good man he was and how much money he'd donated to sports.
I've been asking myself the question what are Bahamians especially men willing to ignore if they **think** they **might** get some money? It's a very sobering and disappointing reality. We will sell our first born girl (or boy) child for a dollar
Police arent the solution in this case. The police could have passed two seconds earlier and even though they were in the area, they would have been no use. This needed the people there to respond, **the problem was they did not know what to do. "Filming" as sick as it appears, is a natural response "today", so someone didnt think twice before pulling out their phone and recording. But running into a fight "today" is not a natural response, a caveman on the other hand would have known he had to fight**. This incident has likely shown people that they need to respond. But it needs more training in the community so it becomes a natural response and it's done safely given circumstances, weapon/no weapon
This is what Parliament is for. When seemingly unethical practices can be legally allowed they are to update laws to prevent it in future. This has the same noxious smell as what Mervie did in Grand Bahama to her old folks home tenant with dementia, orchestrating a series of actions to get her to "legally" sign over all her assets. And this group using Jesus name. Where is Parliament?
It's likely everyone was afraid to approach. But not approaching isnt an option.
Luckily one person acted despite his fear, the irony is in this incident all it needed was one person to show an act of resistance and the man ran away. I have not watched, dont intend to, but from the narrative, he didnt even attempt to fight someone he perceived as being able to match his strength.
It's hard to condemn anyone because you werent in their shoes, you can only hope you would act differently. Perhaps acting as a group was the way to go, this is often heard in accounts of passengers subduing an unruly fellow passenger
We need to find that "*high ranking politician*" and weed out his corrupt network of govt officials. This is not sustainable:
"*They have maintained, surprisingly, with last year. They fell by about $20 for the third quarter, but they are back to last year’s rates. **Those were very high, incredible rates**, and to see them bounce back and people are coming to pay them...*"
Sounds like to make up for the billions of dollars that are extracted out of the system via corruption, we have to charge higher and higher taxes and business in turn have to rely on customers to pay higher and higher rates. The weird thing is, this message here says, we believe it's *good news* that someone is willing to pay a high rate. They wont forever. Someone else will come with a higher quality product and a cheaper price and the cruise lines will disappear. Again.
Expose the corrupt "*high ranking politician*". We know who they are because the Colombians een the first or last people they try to extort.
Not sure why its needed, but Mr Rolle is way smarter than I am.
Just my opinion, but when you enter a loan or equity arrangement with anyone, you have to put up something of value to the lender. A law will not make a painting, junkanoo costume or software code valuable. Someone has to believe it is valuable.
If the lender believes the property has value, they get a lawyer to create a contract with payment terms and the client has to agree to the terms that call for them to give up something if the terms are broken. That is already legally binding. The important thing is to find a lawyer knowledge in the domain of intellectual property to avoid industry specific loopholes.
If somebody flies to Germany with the junkanoo costume, not sure what the lender will do. The time to sort this out, for anything, is during contract creation, who has access to the domain, who is the artwork beneficially assigned to, who has physical control of the item etc etc.
As to intellectual property, you can sign a noncompete agreement so there is no direct competition for an agreed period, but in the end you cant buy the developer's brain
