I think it would have been a wonderful thing if Kevin could have got pregnant and had to raise a child or three as a single parent. He might then have the opportunity to discover why some women choose to take an abortive pill to terminate a pregnancy during the first trimester.

The reason that Grand Bahama and Freeport are not economically thriving under the direction of private enterprise is due solely to the PLP and Pindling's Bend or Break speech way back. Almost single-handed he destroyed the great future prospects and condemned it to an existence not much better than that of his own constituency.

This union official is reported as saying; " and discouraged from volunteering their services ". Really? The nurses volunteer? I thought that they were all hired and paid to do a job of work, it is surprising to hear that they are all volunteers. Anyway good luck to all the nurses who actually do work, most of them are wonderful people doing a job which very important at this time particularly.

I wonder how this employee knows that the owners of this restaurant have made millions of dollars? I think he is just making up stories because the place has gone out of business because it was making no money at all.

what a lot of negative comments, I wonder why? The Bahamas has has a systemic fiscal problem. The country cannot make enough money to pay for the tens of thousands of state employed workers and the unfunded pension costs of tens of thousands more.The plp hired tens of thousands into the civil service and SOE's to garner votes and stay in power. Each year the government has had to borrow more and more money to pay these salaries. It is unsustainable but whichever administration cuts the number of government employees will probably lose the next election, so no one will do it. There is no solution.

I believe Mr. Pinder's longest work experience was being a union executive of the state employed workers. This experience is so far away from the realities involved in running a business in the private sector that it is practically worthless in trying to predict whether or not businesses will lay off employees. Remember that no one has ever been terminated from a government job in 50 years or more. Still Mr. Pinder does sound more sensible now than when he was postulating that we could all get rich selling sand like he did several years ago.

Despite many pleas over the years no government have bothered to enact the legislation badly needed to regulate and protect animals in this country. Just another failing of our elected officials.

What a great way to stop any businesses that need expatriate workers from opening. Absolute genius way to prevent the Bahamian economy from recovering. Why not close down all the foreign owned hotels as well?

What the graduate gm has failed to take into account is the cost of inter island shipping between the islands of the Caribbean. in the case of the Bahamas almost everything must be trans shipped through Miami; Most everything is produced less expensively in Florida, power costing 8c per Kw versus our 48c. Caribbeab products are simply more expensive

So if am understanding this report correctly the RBDF intercepted this boat carrying undocumented migrants only because the US Coastguard did the work of finding them. When a senior officer says in an interview that navigation is not an exact science then you really have cause to wonder at the competence of this state security organisation. Navigation is of course an exact science unless it is carried out by a DBDF navigation officer.
