"*we're going to be watching him very closely as he conducts his duties that he don't get over excited with the activity.”*"

Lol. He's in no danger ..from activity

Shell contributed to the unusual fuel price hikes then approached the govt with a solution to reduce costs. You cant make this up. They could literally do nothing except charge reasonable rates and cost problem solved. *our saviour*!

Lol

"*Family Island boaters have also had challenges docking their boats because the sunken vessels take up a lot of space, he said.*"

How many years now? I always say I dont know how people eat there. Fine the way things are with the cruise industry, FOCOL and secret oil spill fines we've likely all been poisoned but it's weird to look at it live right over you plate of food.

The Bahamas is burning! Please save us from climate change

This story didnt mention it, but the most startling finding in the report is that the high fuel prices are due to FOCOL/Shells fuel monopoly. The same people we handed the kit and caboodle to. This raises plenty plenty questions

I see energy failing all over the family islands, I wonder who'll pop up there as the saviour. Create the problem/provide the perfect solution

Bahamians like you do not understanding tax and borrow in the absence of growth is the downward spiraling road to Venezuela

I'm confused by this report. The "*potential*" tropical depression (never heard that before, "potential") is near the greater antilles but mixed with a report about rain and bad weather this weekend... which is tomorrow. Is the system catching a high speed train?

The headline reads: "*expected to impact the Bahamas by **this** weekend*"

But inside the fine print, which noone will read it says" "*While the chance of formation in the **next two** days is near **zero percent***". Well 2 days would be the entire weekend... at 0%

It looked like a hastily rushed job to me. I couldnt understand why they had the heavy sweat tops in record heat. They looked like fall weather outfits. But in the scheme of things Lecarthea isnt on the team which makes no sense. I pray God Davis doesnt give a speech anywhere in this century about a Bahamian 16 year old running at the olympics. Because in stark contrast to what he would attempt to relay, it would be an example of the confusion and cronyism that permeates our governance and robs qualified persons of earned opportunities and the country of best performance

Empty words.

Exactly. This will be just like turn left on red where drivers on a red light believe they now have the right to overtake waiting traffic, push their way into right-of-way oncoming traffic **and** turn right on red. What a mess.

The most confusing is the Rastafarian position. All along their argument was about their religion and oppression and rights, then overnight they want to know why they cant be drug dealers too. I see business increasing for dollar peanut sales and rastas paying an off the books tax to the man overseeing the street. What a mess. But who could have known?

"*tourism executives yesterday said it was “a tremendous concern that Bimini’s major source of commercial airlift had suspended *"

Clearly not because ->

Tribune Business understands the fire truck is over 44 years-old*:

"*The Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation, in a statement, said ... despite “proactive preventative maintenance” the decades-old fire truck still experienced mechanical woes.*"

Theres no "proactive" preventative maintenance for a 44 year old truck other than to sell the 2.5m dollar plane outfitted with luxury fittings and buy a new truck
