The highly politicized atmosphere at the moment, scrambling to appear to do alot of good things without any plan or budget to actually complete reminds me of Perry Christies promise of free electricity right before the election
The cost of doing business is too high. Thsts not a complaint but a reality and its artificially high due to successive govts inability to innovate and at the same time placing strangleholds on Bahamians attempting to do so. #TobySmith. The kickback tax is also a real thing. It triples prices, then has the tax man trying to replace those liberally awarded dollars by increasing taxes on the poor yet again. 2.5 million for an elevator? 100k to travel to Grand Bahama? Now the toilets need to fix. If only we hadn't padded the elevator contract by 2 million dollars.
Yes. That's kinda what I mean... basically, they're not "*absent*" of fear. That's a good sign. Even "*less than*" is a good thing. Everyone should recognize and be humbled by something greater or even something to work toward
The statement this morning says "*they were invited*". So in a casual conversation and suddenly 5 ministers travelling around the world at who knows what unplanned unbudgeted cost. They dont seem to care about their budget or how theyve increased our taxes to support this frivolous travel
Or... maybe they didnt have to fly the full distance. They could have had a landing on a navy ship midway.. just because ... it makes the story more cloak and dagger
Who mentioned Gaza? You frequently introduce these nonsensical strawman arguments. The one true thing about all wars past and present, we really should have tried harder to avoid them. Because in *all wars the weak suffer, typically women and children. Rape and horrific rape is almost inevitable. Torture of male prisoners possibly rape as well is inevitable. It happens on both sides. Israeli soldiers have also been charged with rape. War let's psychopaths free to do what they do best, hidden among the people who actually believe they're fighting for a cause.
These Haitian gangs are different, they never had a cause, from the break they were taking advantage of chaos, because from the break they started raping and kidnapping and demanding ransom through their **leadership** not rogue individuals. they're just now trying to rebrand as Robinhood
Releasing the entire population of prisoners??? Who did that serve? Peace loving citizens who want good representation? I doubt it.

These boys might make it, because everybody head down. That means they recognize seniority somewhere in the room. That's a good thing.
