"* the industry is viewed as a “dead end” business where entrepreneurs cannot earn a profit*"

Exactly. A business has to earn a profit. More importantly gas retail is a low margin business that depends on volume. The congested Nassau streets make it convenient for drivers to have a gas station on every corner, but from a business standpoint it may not be sustainable. The issue may be for our small population there are too many gas stations

It would be good to know what this 25 cents means to the govt in taxes

While other countries are trying to protect their borders and maintain responsible migration practices, we have a policy that any Indian national from anywhere can come here to work without a visa. Anybody. Anywhere.

I have to agree. Two months is more than enough time to conclude if a charge in warranted at minimum against the head of DEU. This isnt guilt or innocence, this is establishing if there is enough evidence to warrant a further legal investigation.

Covenants serve a purpose. If you bought property in a quiet neighbourhood with relatively low activity and someone opened a mini hotel next to you, you would not take that kindly. Traffic, noise, dirt, multiyear construction activity.

I think of the experience of Mr Hoffer, right across the street from the PM, a Bahamian family is being tortured with the blessing of the OPM in the name of "economic activity"

The clause in the constitution that allows the *right to register as a Bahamian* to be revoked has to be enacted immediately.

Poverty is on the rise, the middle class is disintegrating under the pressure from increased govt taxes and fees and quadrupled FOCOL/Pike electricity bills. We cannot take on the burden of a poor nation with millions of people. The USA Canada And Europe need to assimilate the people in need within their borders.

The same argument used here could be used for Haiti. Theres lots of empty land. Port au Prince is just one city. Outside of that city the country is at peace

This is unbelievable

"*However, Christina Rolle, the Securities Commission’s executive director, confirmed that neither Aethercoin nor Mr Biere are licensed or registered with the regulator to conduct crypto and digital assets business from this jurisdiction **as required by law** under the Digital Assets and Registered Exchanges (DARE) Act.*"

"*He did his homework and determined he did not need to do this registration with the Securities Com- mission.*"

So anyone can come to the Bahamas start offering cryptocurrency services and can operate unlicensed because they're *not really in the Bahamas*?

The lawyers statement doesnt make sense. Was there any oversight by the SEC in the 6(?) year period? doesnt make sense

I dont think they realize theres a reason bikers wear all that leather and padding. Skin is important.

Marvin Pratt is still missing

Tribune Dec 20 2018 by Rashad Rolle:
*In an affidavit filed yesterday, Mr Pratt’s mother, Barbara Saunders, alleges an officer told the family her son was taken into custody.*

*A friend of the family who is employed by the Royal Bahamas Police Force – in the Forensics Unit – informed me and I verily believe that he saw Marvin in the custody at the Drug Enforcement Unit/Central Detective Unit and he appeared to be battered and bruised,” she said. “I am in fear that if I reveal the identity or the source of this information that he may be victimised by the respondents as they continue to deny having custody of my son.”*

*Ms Saunders adds: “On Saturday, December 8, 2018, my granddaughter, Robyn Noel, and I after not hearing from or seeing Marvin, went to the Drug Enforcement Unit on Thompson Blvd looking for him because we were concerned about his welfare. I asked the officer at the station ‘do y’all have a Marvin Saunders or Marvin Pratt’ and the officer responded ‘y’all come to sign his bail ay’ to which I responded ‘yes’ and he went in the back.*

*“When the officer returned he had a face only a mother could love and he immediately changed his tone about Marvin being in custody. I said to the officer **‘but you just asked me if I came to sign his bail**, that means he is here.’ The officer began speaking to me and my granddaughter in an aggressive manner - saying Marvin was not in custody. We became afraid and we left and went to the Central Detective Unit which was located next door.*

Commissioner Paul Fernander said in the story that noone named "Marvin *Pratt*" had been taken into custody. I noticed the Mother when inquiring about him at the station asked for "Marvin Pratt" or "Marvin *Saunders*"

Strange story. A neighbour also claims she saw DEU officers in the area and she shouted for Marvin to run but they caught him and put him in a vehicle. Can people make things up? Sure, still a strange story.

Marvin is still missing.

Apparently people will sell out country for a quick buck any day.. *as long as I making money*

Chester Cooper said everybody on Bay is making money. Since he has the VAT filings it would be good if he could publish who is "everybody". It would really be interesting to find out what tourists are opting to pay for. It maybe they find a 15 dollar meal much too expensive, especially when the ship have a buffet
