If there are any tourists who are amputees, then less would be appropriate. The word less is more appropriate for PLPs though, because they are not whole persons -- they have less brains, less intelligence, less integrity, less truthfulness, less altruism .... I could go on, but everyone but PLPs gets the point.

@BahamaPundit -- This is exactly what Cayman Enterprise City did. You get work permits for spouse, employees, relaxation of import duties for management AND employees to move to the Caymans, you get telephone, secretary services and office space, legislative mandated approvals in 10 working days, and all it costs you is about $12,000 -- for the entire package. Check it out -- read it and weep: http://www.caymanenterprisecity.com/

>Capitalize on the remote worker. Promote and target professionals who work from their computers to live and work in The Bahamas. Or even target tech companies to open up shop in The Bahamas specifically Nassau.

This is absolutely fooking huge! There should be a special class of residency for remote workers. There should be a law stating that residency permits are approved in 48 hours. The only check should be that they do not have a criminal record and the source of their income is outside the Bahamas. And presto, they are in!! They would bring huge economic offset to the Bahamas because they are paid well. It would create a huge impact on tech tourism -- product expos, technology seminars and courses, and workplace incentives. A Toronto insurance company flies their head office employees to the Cayman Islands for two weeks. Not only that, but it would be the seeds of a knowledge industry here. These types of people are called Digital Nomads and they are also startup prone. They would start up tech businesses and eventually employ local people.

Lifestyle is important to digital nomads, and this is one area where the tired old chestnut of sun, sand, sea and tropical drinks is still a valid appeal -- especially if it is your working milieu.

But sigh, any Bahamian politician is not cognizant or aware enough to even recognise the potential, and since they never heard of it before, there is absolutely zero chance of them doing something innovative like this.

The Jack Tar is still there - figuratively anyway. Its demolished pieces of toxic waste were used as landfill when Crisco Butt gave it away to Ginn to make Ginn-sur-Mere subdivision, resort and marina, which failed miserably and never got off the ground. Pity anyone who buys that vacant land. The toxic building materials are outgassing into the soil. I wouldn't be surprised that if anyone lives on the land, that there will be sickness and birth defects like Flint, Michigan.

Sigh ... once again, I must intervene to correct your ignorance. As a Commonwealth Country, the provisions of the constitutional monarchy, stipulate as granted in the Letters Patent upon independence, that the Governor General of The Bahamas or The Queen can only dissolve Parliament on the advice of the Prime Minister of The Bahamas, or by an official act of Parliament duly voted on of non-confidence of the governing party and its prime minister. In very special cases, the Queen, through an order in council may be petitioned to instruct the Governor General to dissolve parliament, but not fire the Prime Minister, which would trigger an election. Such cases would have to be authorised by the Privy Council.

There is no Letters Patent or any authority for the Governor General to act unilaterally to suspend a legal government unconditionally. I hope that this informs you better, in spite of your intrinsic ignorance and penchant for making up "facts" like Donald Trump does.

Myles Mumford is a better prophet than Myles Munroe. However, physics is the only profession in which prophecy is not only accurate, but routine. You do realise that Myles Munroe was a businessman right, and not a spiritual guru? The only powers that he had was the power to make gullible people part with their money.

Sigh .. real world problems. No knighthood for cricket. Oh the humanity!

Actually, your typo is more correct -- the number one industry is the numbers industry.

However, when you demonize the IDB, it reminds me of a trip to Atlanta that I made a couple of years ago. I mentioned to a colleague that I would be in Atlanta, and he told me to call upon his sister. She works with social services as a credit counselor/educator. Her job is to wean people off the payday loan companies.

Payday loan companies are loan sharks and what they do is horrible, because of the interest rates that they charge. Once they get their claws in you, basically a portion of your weekly pay cheque goes to them for a long time.

Yes, payday loans are the villain, but this woman's educational program taught people to take responsibility for their financial actions. We too should do the same. We are all adults. We should take responsibility and stop the fooking borrowing. Do what most sane and rational people do -- cut back on spending. Even if it hurts.

The IDB is not the demon here -- it is us. Just because cheap money is out there, we shouldn't borrow it. It is time to be responsible adults.

My god, what is Baltron doing there?

Ever notice that his name sounds like a testicular robot, which pretty much defines his <strike>career</strike> criminal life.

Sad. Condolences to family. I always enjoyed sushi lunches with Larry.
