He should have never entered politics. He was a fantastic music DJ bar none.
"*expected to start early in 2026 and take up to 18 months. During the works, residents should expect dust, diversions, and temporary disruption to roadside vendors, managed under an Environmental and Social Management Plan.*"
Disruption to roadsidevendors? Arent they illegal? This just epitomizes how this project and the whole country runs.

I have yet to see the IDB report on the success of any of these programs. Just the country paying interest for more and more loans to nowhere. They will claim "digitization"... at what over exaggerated cost?

. Coral Harbour is right next to a large lake. Spring tide plus saturated ground plus 6" of rain that lake could overflow its banks into nearby communities.

"*He noted that in the US during the 1960s and 70s when welfare programmes grew, single motherhood increased sharply.*"
Is this the right order? The assumption seems to be that because single women could depend on govt handouts for support, more got pregnant. But is it possible the reverse happened? More single women were getting pregnant with no resources so govt ramped up their efforts to assist.
The phenomenon of generational poverty is also documented. So a child of a single mother has a greater likelihood of also becoming a single mother. It doesnt necessarily have a correlation to a govt subsidy
Driving on the streets of Nassau yesterday, do you know what I realized? The greatest irony. Most of our high ground today was preserved by white people pre independence who recognized the value of a hill. Post independence the black governance razed the entire capital to the ground to sell the very survival of Bahamians for profits. **Are they still dredging on Athol Island?**
**Most of the flooding we see today has nothing to do with climate change. Its "*foolish man and greedy land barron built his house upon the sand syndrome*"**
Ok can the govt tell us exactly how many people live in these areas that have been ordered to evacuate as well as the hurricane shelters they're supposed to evacuate to and the maximum capacity of those shelters? And why are they constantly sending annoying alerts to the entire bahamas if the evacuation target is the outer cays? Shouldnt they send those messages to the administrators in the area and by their "*well thought out plan*", disseminate in the community? And what is this about police forcibly removing people from over 12 named cays??? How? And with what equipment?
***"Evacuation order for RV Trailer Park*"? where 14 year old girl was raped and accounts of trailers being used for prostitution and other illegal activity months ago??". Seriously??? Dorian was FIVE years ago**
The action the govt should be taking is removing the risk. Many of these persons are immigrants, some illegally residing here, the majority of which by clear evidence do not have the financial resources to live here. This pattern by the govt is too common. Allow the breakdown of **order** for some short term monetary gain, some alledgedly pocketed, then when crisis hits hold their head screaming we have an emergency.
Weather is unpredictable, but we do have experience with tropical depressions and hurricanes of various strengths, bad weather, heavy rain and associated impact. This is 50mph. I hope the govt is not trying to make political hay out of this.
I did not find any estimates on storm surge of a system right over us and none are given here so it's even more strange.
