"*We introduced it, managed it*"

"*Abused it*" would be more appropriate. The first thing PM Christie with the new found money was to take the entire cabinet on an all paid luxury vacation to the family islands under the guise of a "*meeting*". Its a continuation of govt policy. Find new revenue, find ways to spend more than was made

"*Davis never seemed to have a vision for the country and it shows. Despite a nice personality, history will likely record him as the prime minister of least consequence and fewest accomplishments, especially if the PLP loses the next election.*"

**This is the most accurate assessment ever**. I've said from the start, because Davis was so well liked and clearly has the gift of favour, he had a tremendous opportunity to communicate a vision and bring the country with him.

But alas from the minute he mentioned the words "*climate change*" his doom was forecast. Or perhaps it was always there... because after that first UN speech, Davis appeared to know nothing about anything that was going on **in** the country. Getting off to a bad start by placing the critical fuel hedge in the hands of an FS, who appears to rely on his own counsel to create disastrous economic policy after disastrous economic policy. Aitomatic weapons to collect taxes?? Begging the question who proposed the latest renew all insurance in birth month edict. Then Fred Mitchell seeing blood in the water positions himself as obvious choice for leader and why not, someone have to be in charge.

The nail in the coffin was the statement, "*well, they didnt say the high ranking politician received any money..*"

A rudderless SS PLP.

Nationalism aside, fundraising is one of the **most** important things to a university. School fees alone dont cover the cost of progressive development. This just is.

People drive without insurance because they simply cant afford it.

Yes I know, people will say *if you cant afford insurance you shouldnt have a car*. I dont think that's the answer. Because with this crazy policy, what are the privileged few who were using that line saying now? "***We** cant afford it*", so should you too not have a car? Or should heaven and earth move to allow you to have what is almost a necessity for NP at least.

What should be happening is an examination of insurance rates. What percentage of drivers are actually claiming on vehicle insurance? I dont believe I've heard 500 accidents in any year vs what is the population of insured drivers paying premiums year after year with no claims? The next thing to look at is the net profit, yes every business is in business to make money, but are the profits "ethical", a new age concept, are you extracting more than required for your comfort and success, just to pile up more and more gold coins under the dragons belly

If your insurance has not expired they will accept it, even if it's less than 6months left on it. That only applies to 2025.

Going into 2026, if they dont allow you to prorate, and you're shackled to your insurance agency, cancel the policy and open a new one in your birth month. If you're not shackled to them go to another agency that will allow you to prorate.

I am having second and third thoughts about Minister Coleby, ages still Transport right?. How did this ball of confusion policy come to be? *Hey let's renew insurance in birth money ok, Johniandra can you draft the legal document and let's pass it in the house tomorrow?*. What a waste of employee productivity time and paper.

When I was younger I thought all Chinese nationals were smart... until I went to a school with an abundance of Chinese nationals and got stuck on one illfated project with a young Chinese lady who literally did no work. It's not that all Bahamians are unproductive it's that you're in a place, "The Bananas", where you get to see the full range of them, the good, bad and the absolutely abysmal, i.e., the pareto 80/20 rule.

The clear and present danger to innovation is intellectual property theft by the very persons who claim to be offering help with innovative ideas

"*that the Government is not behind the scheme*"

Does this make it a scam? Is it possible private individuals in conjunction with a bus drivers union could implement their own pay system? More info needed on why this is indeed a "*scam*"

Another unfortunate death.

"*where he bought Cheribin a beer. The two then went bar hopping and agreed to meet at another location*"

Alcohol misuse needs to be a reporting item, the amount of alcohol and illegal drugs in the system of drivers.

These gentlemen were joyriding motorcycles. In our society we can reasonably expect that that means, speeding, popping, swerving in and out of traffic and overtaking cars in a dangerous manner all over Nassau.

In this particular case we dont know if there were any moving violations but from the friends own account we know this was happening in the middle of multiple bar runs where alcohol was being consumed. Whats troubling is this wasnt pointed out in the story, nothing about alcohol use. Because the police have allowed it to become "normal".

There's no indication that this gentleman was over the legal alcohol limit because theres no indication that testing was done.

The police needs to update their intelligence, too many people are smoking marijuana and drinking copious amounts of beers and alcohol then operating vehicles under the influence.
