The grammar is terrible in this article, has nothing to do with a disability.

Repost from July 25:
"*The ability to swim should be "declared" a public health emergency for all Caribbean islands. Just last week we had a young Bahamian die when her golf cart fell/drove into a pond

"*ShotSpotter has been working and providing the necessary data needed*"

Has shotspotter led to the capture of anyone seconds after a crime? What percentage of gun crimes has Shotspotter resulted in the same? That is the only possible success measure for the system. Anyone within 2 miles of gunfire could report it, our neighborhoods are sardine cans.

Does anyone remember when the last commissioner proclaimed they'd solved the murder problem a few weeks into the COVID lockdown? No murders at night for weeks on end. Of course they denied effusively that the cessation had anything to do with the curfew. You know what the criminals did? They kicked off a spree of never before seen daylight murders.

I'm waiting to hear about the increase in in prison murders.

These guys just dont think far enough.

Since Dorian with the worlds dollars flowing in the millions, nonprofits have unfortunately become the new church on every corner... all een about Jesus and most mainly concerned with the election plate

"*lot of sub-sector jobs should be created as well as empower a lot of Bahamians and especially young people in the agriculture space as well,” Mr Sweeting told reporters.*"

I dont know who does the analysis at the ministry, but I'm betting noone going into the farming business is building a model where they intend to hire and "*empower*" young Bahamians. They will be looking for the cheapest labour around to exploit. People who will work 16 hours in the blazing sun for pennies and wont complain. Also, has anyone done an analysis on the illegal drugs that pass through this country and the percentage that is marijuana? Marijuana legalization will not stop the illegal drugs transshipment in marijuana or any other drug. Just as criminals now raid farms of sheep goats chickens and produce, they will also do the same with marijuana. The only difference may be the automatic fire power when they come for their tings. Officials havent done one wit of risk analysis on this thing, like turn left on red, it's all roses

Thats disappointing. The one good thing about disappointment, it makes you want to work harder.

"*in 2012, bystanders watched a gruesome scene as a surrey horse, with tourists collapsed in the corner of Dowdeswell and Christie Streets. One woman on scene called it disturbing,*"

I saw one of those horses pulling a carriage this week and all I could feel was pity. It must have been the same one in the pic, because I'd hope there isnt more than 1 looking like that. It looked half starved and on the verge of collapsing. We're clearly going to wait until it does. **This is abuse. Horses should have powerful heads, thick strong necks and fat bellies**.. unless they of the Arabian variety which these clearly aren't. **The ministry needs to do better than this, we can "see"**

**I cannot believe these people come out in their Sunday best, with matching purse and put up pretty blue ribbon to celebrate putting starving horses to work**
