AND start prosecuting board members for failing to execute their mandated oversight function. Then and only then will the dumb and lazy stop accepting appointments

"*Furthermore, a review of contracts awarded per constituency found that the Killarney constituency—represented by former Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis—received most of the contracts.*"

dumbness... how did 33 men, including Pintard, sit quiet for 5 years in support of this??? Excluded are Sands, Symonette, Reece, Travis and Miller. Travis and Miller are on the edge Travis because he only spoke out about VAT and Vaughn because it now appears he was upset cuz he didn't get his share

you cant make this up. last weeks story was *cases remain low and tourism is looking great!*. While that low cases line was running I made comment about 2 things, in one week we had 6 deaths, a low number but if delta was waning that was a troubling occurrence, the other was the sheer number of reports about a massive spike in tourism. up to 90% bookings.

When will we get it?

When we have an exponential spike in tourism there will be a spike in cases. There is no way around it. Its like children in a kindergarten class. There's going to be cases of the cold. So if youre not going to close the border and infections are inevitable the only other action you can take is spread minimization. And the battle is in tourism facing industries. Focusing on partying Bahamians is futile. If the battle seeps out of the hotels and the airport, the war is lost.

All that said, I havent heard any country reporting a spike in deaths or hospitalizations, there's just a hyper focus on case counts. So far I dont see an impending deadly threat but that takes nothing away from the need to keep eagle eyes on the data

Hmmm... does it matter that this was a policeman's son?

"Maybe"

On the surface I dont see how this differs from the approach of the SBDC. At 30k each, it sounds like another play to spur enrollment. The SBDC kept adding more registrants and more locations regardless of whether existing clients were being serviced properly. Heavy focus on registration and marketing events very little on innovation. The one or 6 people who got funded appeared to be honeypots.

This is different leadership, maybe different strategies will emerge, so ... "possibilities"

But so far ArawakX is the only organization to emerge that seems to understand what innovation means, how it functions and what it needs

Said before that I do not understand what the hysteria is about Omicron. We are making the exact same mistake that we made with the original strain and with delta. We are acting because "**they**" say we should and not based on OUR data

From cnn.com

"*On Saturday, New York state **broke its record for the highest single-day Covid-19 case count since the beginning of the pandemic** (break out the tin foil hats) for a second consecutive day. Gov. Kathy Hochul's office reported 21,908 positive Covid-19 cases, up from 21,027 on Friday. **Covid-19 hospitalizations across the state remained relatively LOW at 3,909, compared to a peak of 18,825** Covid-19 related hospitalizations on April 13, 2020, according to available data.*

The DATA says, while case counts may be over the roof, it hasnt translated to mass hospitalizations... and they dont even mention a death count. So why the hysteria??? And no mention of who is being hospitalized. Elderly, immunocomprised, obese??

Keep in mind what else the data says, if these people arent being hospitalized enmasse, more people could just be checking to see if theyre infected most likely driven by hysteria generated by the media and ominous sounding Omicron.

And look at that excerpt, they literally reported an increase of 1 case and made it sound like the sky was falling.

lol. Did you hear the directirs response when askedwhat theyd done during COVID to prepare for increased tourist arrivals? "*we realized there was a need to clean up garbage*". Thanks COVID, who would have known

Completely baffled by the omicron response. Last year the G7 went the wrong way with delta and everyone else played pied pier. Today, everybody going into full scale panic over "infection counts". But the evidence has shown a very mild response to Omicron. Why the hype? Wheres the hospitalization and death counts to support the alarm bells? Because In the delta spike, infection counts were almost ignored as the real threat was evident. People dying and hospitals overwhelmed. Now it almost feels like we're trying to create a state of emergency by manufacturing a crisis. This seems wrong all around. Omicron infection count has not translated to an increase in deaths...so far... dont light the signal fire yet. If hospitalizations start creeping up light the barn

I go with carnival. Its the first time Brave spoke on the topic and a new juicy story drops at the same time with "immediate" release. When since have they immediately released anything? We still waiting on release of the other report that Clint called a "*very interesting read*" and that was months ago. This was timed to coincide "with" something

Not sure why the focus on Beaches and Parks. Its impossible for a ministry to exceed their budget expense without full cooperation of the Ministry of Finance.

**They seriously want us to believe that for 3 years straight a ministry was able to blow its budget by 10's of millions and nobody stopped it**? Hubert Minnis wasnt aware? The Minister of Finance wasnt aware? The FS wasnt aware? Shenandon Cartwright went rogue and did this all on his own.

**I suspect this was dropped to kill the carnival story** Why havent we seen the report from the NSA?

The administration got off to a great start dont blow it with politicking
