"*with no sign of any significant global oil price easing...*"
The US has been reporting slight decreases in price of oil for 3 weeks now..
"*Last year, the per gallon price was $5 something. It was still high, and probably cost me $9,000-$10,000. Now it’s up to $13,000.”*
So if cost went up 3%, then why did the sale price of fish go up 300% at Easter? Rather than *riding out the storm*, they're getting on as much as they can while the getting is good

I doubt that. Did you heart the hurt in Donald Thomas' voice as he spoke about not getting support from his country? If she "thinks" she's not being supported and is being discriminated against by her people despite giving her all and excelling that can be emotionally traumatic. While I disagree with her on the cause for the separation, what I think or you think doesnt change what's in her mind.
I think the entire LBTQ community needs to get beyond how proud they are to be LBTQ. Heterosexual people dont walk around saying how proud they are to be heterosexual. Just be the best you and let people recognize you for the best that you are. Jonquel is an amazing basketball player at the top of the "world", no other tags needed... other than "Bahamian".
Where is her support base? Is it in The Bahamas or the US? How many followers does she have compared to other players? These sponsorships work for players who have that "it" factor. And it's a subjective intangible thing, you cant legislate it, it's the thing that makes people gravitate to you and for the company, influence others to want to use the products you use, wear what you wear and do what you do. Ellen is lesbian, she dresses in a masculine style but she has "it". So does Rachel Maddow. Does Jonquel? I dont know, I dont follow the NBA much less WNBA, I dont know how fans react to her. Some of "it" is attractiveness but personality overcomes that. Some of "it" is race but personality overcomes that. Does she have "it"?
"It" aside, the one that that is clear that is not subjective is the govt certainly doesnt respond to her the way they do to other top athletes. I dont know if I've ever seen a contingent speak with excitement about going to a championship game to rep the Bahamian flag. Maybe they did and I missed it. So she's right that she doesnt get the spotlight other top Bahamian athletes get (and deserves) and it probably has to do with her "look", but personality could overcome that.
In general I think the govt needs to have a fair treatment policy AND Jonquel maybe needs to objectively assess some things. **I dont think this is an LBTQ issue, it "could" be an issue of unfair treatment where she "happens" to be lesboan. Life isnt always fair but each of us has a mix that gives us an opportunity to become our best, be whole and be fulfilled**. Forget BTC, try for one of the big US firms or the American embassy.
Sounds like gobbledygook. These guys have been give carte blanche via CEB to import whatever talent they want. It'll be more of the same for Bahamians. #thegrassneedtocut #thetoiletneedtoclean

As long as its between consenting adults, they can do what they want, morally right. It's a personal choice.
