Expect a whole range of knockoff nefarious activity. The first I can think of is fake prescription pads with prescriptions being handed out on the beach

Forget it. Your usefulness is over. They needed you to drum up public support to move their agenda forward. Just as in illegal gaming, a large group of poor black people demanding this thing be passed so they could become rich too. They're working as cashiers and security guards at the gaming house now.

Realistically noone is going to give you a license to sell a mind altering substance of unknown chemical content to anybody. The liability would be too great.

The alternative would be to comply with medical liability insurance premiums, test lab and regime of testing which would be quite expensive. No bank will give you the money.

Forget it. They're doing this for maybe 4 money interests.

I admit to being completely lost. The "*new*" equipment?? Do they have it already? Or are they buying it with the 100m they're asking for? I dont think they can base a valuation on something they dont have. If theyve already bought this new equipment that's something different.

"*acres of mature 20-foot red mangroves being bulldozed and covered with tons of dirt and aggregate.*"

"*Approximately 70 per cent of mangroves in Grand Bahama were destroyed during Hurricane Dorian. The mangroves off Queen’s Highway are among the few that survived the devastating storm in 2019.*"

"*Environmental groups go there to collect seedlings to replant for the various mangrove restoration projects. The area was also once preserved as a nature park and trail for residents, visitors and avid bird watchers.*:

**I'm truly at a loss for what we're doing in this country and who in charge. How can bulldozers tear down 20ft trees in an area where seedlings are collected for a project that the Climate Change PM was up an down applauding as a pivotal initiative to rebuild the mangroves?**"

Who gives these permits? Does noone consider what activity will be conducted what protected reserves are in the area and warn the developers specifically not to damage them? Of course not I'm just making another ridiculous suggestion, nothing matters, impact of round the clock noise on residents, cutting down hills on external cays that protect NP, overtourism on long Wharf. **None of it matters as long as someone stands to make a dollar.**

**When the last 10,000 of us not swept away by the waves are standing on the remaining 10x10 piece of high land that wasnt cut down for fill, denuded of trees or developed for a swimming pigs tourist attraction and subsequently reclaimed by the ocean, I'm sure Brave Davis will say something. Right? Or will he put a fill for sale sign and get his shovel and start digging?**"

"*and that further consultation is possible.*"

Scrap that this has already moved to the standard line, "*we've consulted extensively*" **meaning: people have been screaming for answers to questions for months with no info coming from govt and govt says, *ok, it's been long enough, let's do what we wanted to do from the start*.**

Yes I realize that, but I think people do not adequately account for the behaviour of *law abiding* citizens. The persons who would not have touched the substance because it's illegal but feel free to try once legal. This will include a good number of children. This is ed exactly what happened with illegal gaming. **It wasnt the people who were buying numbers illegally for decades that became the addicts, it was the *new* users.**

"*That valuation is 120 percent higher, or more than double, the $100m “book valuation” placed on the New Providence energy grid assets being transferred to Bahamas Grid Company by the Government and Bahamas Power & Light (BPL). Given that Bahamas Grid Company has just been incorporated, it is almost certain that most - if not all - its PPE assets will be those it is inheriting from BPL.*"

**Isnt this something the Securities Commission should be investigating?**. It was curious that noone was removed after the FTX glaring failure.

If the govt claims they had an intl accounting firm value the assets and now someone is coming and selling shares based on twice the value of the assets, **would that be fraud?**

I was shocked last week when out 9f Darvilles own mouth came the statement, "*the rise of COVID cases is likely due to increase in tourist travel*". Say what???! For 3 years the ministry 9f health denied up and down that there was any link to tourism and went out of their way to blame "locals", "*who cant behave*". I recall one host who was all in on the vaccinate everybody campaign when presented with the periodic patterns in tourist travel and like rise in COVID cases saying, "*you cant know that*"

**Ive come to realize that in this country any and everything is justified as long as some political interest is making lots of money**. Years later when the ill effects bombard society, as in illegal gaming theres a big show to demonstrate how concerned they are. Let's watch the trend in escalating high school overdoses, rise in sandilands addiction referrals and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence. Lung cancer will take a longer period to manifest

Lots of people caught in crimes are asked to cooperate with authorities in exchange for leniency. It's how they got John Gotti. Locally you have to go no further than Adrian Fox who was caught in a human smuggling operation, the **one** time he attempted he said. How unlucky! The FBI couldnt stop talking about how "*helpful*" he was. And human smuggling is one of the worst of the worst in the FBIs books

Direct quote from Goudie "*If some of the guests are doing something, we can’t control them.*", this in response to a friend saying Taylor was "isolated", the friend could have only known that if Taylor told her that, she didnt isolate herself
