Before building these illegal timbered structures on top of loose rubble foundations they should have the common sense they are building very dangerous structures like this....if only they look that the previous hurricane and strong winds was capable of ripping off destroying the leaves and branches of all the trees that they can see. And some trees likely rotted or weakened state likely to be sent flying all over next strong winds.

Sad situation. More and more Police does not solve these situations. These situations also and usually start generally from within the communities, outside schools. There needs to be greater emphasis in the Social Workers and workers in Urban Renewal offices. More Social Workers needed and increased pay. Pandemic have brought on more stresses in communities which needs more attention which Social Workers can help to relieve. This is one of the most stressfull jobs. Social Workers needs to be getting into communities and bringing relief to situations instead of no Social Workers, without whom, leads to disaster ending erupting in all delinquent manners.

...foreign carrots in cans, bags, ochra in cans, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, puree tomatoes in cans, foreign veggies, foreign frozen fish, shrimp, bacon....this being going on for decades. Going to the political rallys an would be politicians yelling Bahamian first from one side of da mout and handing out foreign made sewn up tee shirts, plate of foreign import chivken wings with macaroni seasoned up wid foreign salt and good dose of foreign musicians music and playing. Etcetc.

Sad, again and again. Consequences of educated alternating govts of the people putting all the eggs (foreign imported) into one basket. Failure of diversification. Sad when to go into the Grocery store and spending money to buy food products coming from other countries.

...E. and just as sad is the leading to the lack of knowledge is the ...thou shall not steal....and the ...thou shall not kill...leading to the costs $100,000 armoured police cars service, two police in cars salary $18,000 each per year, $$$ in Courts, $in jail staff, $$$ for society in razor wires, burgular bars crime etc. Seems eack crime tieffing, murder etc just costs way way more than getting into areas finding solutions to this cycle.

Usually many use the 4 weeks to a month but the year has 52 weeks and 150 x 52 = 7,800 ÷ 150 = 650. Easily overlooked seems you too got steamed up, catching hell and the people paying us $210.wanting us to call it good times.

@Bahamianson. The stop having 5 children, or 6 or more are extremely distressing situations to the mother, children, family and society. In many cases is the failures of victim parents, dysfunctional family, lack of good broughtupsy, school drop outs, church role christian education instead of getting the almighty dollar from people, delinquent gang influences, preying by wutless older nasty serial sweethearting men failure of society to catch and castrate, the female is not the only one an there must be the father or usually other fathers etcetc The tragic circumstances everyone inevitably is affected.

@SP. The Bahamas not only 6th most expensive country in the world to live in but a few years ago in this part of the region the Bahamasas having the greatest widening income gap between the rich and poor. For many years the revealing and adverse data by govt and Opposition seems mutually remained silent mutually beneficial obviously, and the more per capita income was celebrated as success misleading as how good tings are, even as the lines for food before Covid were long in the streets.

This data were known for years by bankers and should have been advised by the govt top financial advisor the Central Bank. Recently, the govt found it necessary to create a number of hugely discounted land in subdivisions and duty free discounts for persons/professionals to be able to afford lower amount of loans to afford homes.

Mr. Goudie of the local businesses Chamber of Commerce be further alarmed as consumers by pass local merchandise shops and make purchases on internet to Amazon and other stores in the world.

For ages Bishop have put himself in finding hot meals on Wulff Rd. to feed anyone. God bless and wish you well Bishop.

Extremely distressing story with all the shortages of nurses.

Dis shortages seems to have gone on over years ago and with former senior govt official Dr. Duane Sands revealing of these nurses shortages years ago, brought over from previous govt.

The solution as in commonsense business is to start firing the administrative and responsible salaried govt jobs not done for proper staffing, for the nation most important hospital.... in their year after year after year after year after year.....shortage of nurses in the Hospital.......YA can't expect any difference results time after if ya using the same ingredients......getting the same results of shortages....and somehow expecting different result year after year...AND well mudda tek sic now nurses leaving in groups....!!!!!!!

Something has obviously gone wrong. What next but horrors in peoples mind gon happen when they really have to go to the nation's primary Hospital..???? What a most diabotical situation when in the hugely mismanaged govt staffing and salary renumerations ...is that the critical necessary govt Department of the Nurses have been leaving for years, and droves now leaving. And versus the other govt Departments and Agencies keeps getting decades now being bloated. What shambles, upsidedown, what horror.
