You’re so right and now they’re trying to wash their hands clean of this mess. “Not taking sides” happens to be the worst thing to say right now.

Couldn't be said any better, but the government will be in hardcore damage control right now, as well as the PR from Baha Mar. I'd like to see how they spin this one too.

Whenever you hear of unpaid BEC bills for a business, it speaks to its unsustainably, not withstanding the high electricity rates in our country.

Since they filed for chapter 11 it looks like they want to reorganize their finances, and as debtor in possession it seems that there will be many implications especially in regards to workforce.

According to the Nassau Guardian [story](http://www.thenassauguardian.com…;

<ul style="list-style-type:none">
<li><p style="color:gray">To help assure that we move down this path efficiently, Baha Mar’s developer, Sarkis Izmirlian, has agreed to arrange the funding for the Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) financing facility. This financing will, among other things, enable Baha Mar to operate and meet its financial obligations in the interim during the Chapter 11 process. Specifically, the total DIP facility is up to $80 million of which up to $30 million will be utilized by Baha Mar over the next 30 days.</p></li>

<li><p style="color:gray">He said that once in possession of valid licenses, the sector could then focus on growing its business and “building a robust and globally competitive industry”.</p></li>

How can the web shop industry be a "globally competitive industry", when this same industry is non-existent in all other countries.

Who are they competing with exactly?

There is no such thing as a “web shop industry” in Germany, or France, or Canada, or America, or Australia, or Switzerland, or any other country for that matter. We should have all realized by now that the terms “web shop” and "gaming" are euphemisms for the real deal.

Last I remember it’s aptly called the gambling industry, and to be more specific - the online gambling industry, which consists of online casinos and/or lotteries. These are the commonly understood global terms.

I don’t know what their goals are in all of this but it’ll only be a matter of time before this all explodes, and if it does, it won’t be pretty.

</ul>

Yes you must have discretion with how and what you write on these platforms, but if you want to spread information with boldness you must avail yourself with knowledge.

Do **not** use smartphones to post or write sensitive information to any website or social media platform, those devices are so exploitable and vulnerable it's not even funny. It disturbs me to watch how my fellow Bahamians use smartphones.

If you know a bit of coding you'll understand that this site is also vulnerable in multiple ways, but you are safe from identification as long as your tribune account is not associable to any platform that contains your private information.

For the love of all that is holy, please do not use the same passwords across accounts! Check out this website below for a crash course on how to protect your backside on the internet.

Yeah they should quiet down now, but there is more rhetoric to come from all these other rights groups. I read an article the other day on the politico magazine entitled [“It’s Time to Legalize Polygamy”](http://www.politico.com/maga… where the writer advocates for the legalization of polygyny and polyandry on the basis of consenting adults.

I’ve also heard that trans-racial is the new edgy social trend. Conservatives around America must be fuming with rage. Don’t worry though, they say yesterday's liberals are today's conservatives. We live in some really amusing times.

On point Bahamianpride. It really makes you wonder why people would fight so hard to have the government become their third party in a contractual agreement such as marriage.

I agree. These fellas playin' with serious fire and it's the type that consumes **all**. If it's one thing that really stinks about this entire industry, it has to their identification as a "web shop". Legally, it is quite possible these fellas are all misrepresenting themselves by identifying as a "web shop" when considering its meaning in the context of computers and the internet.

"Web shop gaming" who came up with that nonsense?
