True. My point was had this been a person in exact same circumstances but not as wealthy or well known or phenotypically "*blessed*" as Mr Lewis they would have likely been sent to prison. The 50m is neither here nor there just meant to show an amount an individual "*might*" feel the loss of. I dont want an ailing elderly person to be jailed, so I dont even have an argument that Mr Lewis should have been, just pointing out that it's unlikely that "*everyone*" would have been granted this grace.

"*This insider trading was not the result of aberrant, one-time conduct, but rather a troubling **pattern of misconduct over the course of several years**. In the process, Lewis’s conduct undermined the integrity of the securities markets from which he has so handsomely profited for decades.”*

This sounds pretty serious. "*Pattern*"? "*Several years*"?... over the course of those years there were likely other high profile cases with people convicted of insider trading and serving jail time. To commit these acts over years is appropriately characterized as *hubris*. "*Because when the President does it, it's not a crime*". It's unfortunate but probably likely that had Mr Lewis been a black man of relatively average wealth. In ill health or not, he would probably have been jailed because justice is not blind even though she might want to be.

Theyve done this mural initiative before and it's good. But Ive passed through downtown a number of times within the past month and seen droves of tourists walking from the cruise port to Junkanoo beach and no matter how many times I make that trip I shake my head and say "*that's it?*"

Please stop the shantyization of Long Wharf and Montagu beach and the overrunning of our naturally beautiful locations with over development. We do not need a mega cruise port in every island. I've never seen a Bahamas ad with thousands of tourists crammed on a beach. It's always, always a family enjoying a deserted beach with clean white sand. Tourism should ask themselves lives why that is. After decades, the ramshackle mess of Arawak Cay that they keep giving permits to expand is really a national disgrace

Condolences to Sara Dowden and her family. This is one of the weird things about life, moments of ~"joy" in the midst of sorrow. Maybe by design. Theres no greater therapy than sports activity.

Huh? I once saw a group requesting police check the license plate of every car turning through their corner. What a colossal waste of time and energy. Not to mention privacy intrusion into the information of innocent citizens without probable cause. "*Police? I just saw someone driving*"

In the Don Saunders case they likely just manually walked back the tape. Also time consuming but effective as they didnt randomly follow hundreds of Japanese black cars. They identified **the** car and traced it. What gave them success was cctv footage of the actual criminals. It is weird that the suspects would use their own car parked at their residence two blocks away. But criminals are apparently demanding cheques if the cash haul is low.

It's fine for them to want to keep their health information private. The strange part is they said originally that he was just exhausted and was essentially fne. To go from that to airlifted for tests...because today you can do video calls, share xrays, share lab results across borders.. the need to physically go and on a med flight. I wish him well.

But we dont know that he was targeted. It's possible. It's also possible that fate was not on his side that day.

Hmm. Airlifted to take tests? For he and his family I hope this is true.

I found it instructive that a former minister of health was admitted to PMH for care. We have to do something about that hospital and the quality of care. 90% of the population will live or die based on pure luck of the draw. Will you get a health care profession who will administer additional fluids when your body is retaining water and essentially speed your passing? Will you get a health care professional who diagnoses a stress related result when you have an infection? Will you get a healthcare professional who forgets you when you came in with a time related medical emergency?

**My wish is that every member of parliament in this administration and the next acts like their decisions today could put them or their children on the receiving end of abysmal health care putting their lives at risk. Do not play *funny business* games with this new hospital** Do not decide to exclude services needed by the population to aid self serving business interests. Do not inflate costs for kickbacks. Do not hand contracts to friends who deliver poor quality work. Do not give designated healthcare spaces to staff who want nice offices

Ill health is something I dont wish on anyone. Even criminals. It's something about seeing a human being in pain and it's also knowing but for a little grace...

The "*BEC bribe taker*", the insurance executive. Yes. When these things happen instantly you know it's like cockroaches, if you see one, there are possibly hundreds hidden elsewhere. I believe that's the first and last time a Bahamian official was sent to jail for essentially *misusing* public funds. Amazing right? And much like FTX, the AG and the police didnt see anything amiss, it only happened because someone outside the country brought the scratching head in plain sight, or is it **plane** sight, evidence of some funny business.

You know almost every year I get some new insight into the bible. An insight that says these people who existed thousands of years ago had greater artificial intelligence than we do today. They wrote a text that in many ways transcends time.

"*The **love** of money is the root of all evil*". "*Love*", an emotion that drives you to do anything in protection or pursuit of a thing. The nature of the drive characterized by the seed of the emotion.

How many evils are being perpetrated in our country today? Murder. Illegal immigration. Sex trafficking. Gun smuggling. Drug smuggling. Bribery and extortion. Forged documents racket. Irregular crown land grants
