I read these comments from people who are not contributing anything to our country except for negative comments directed at real estate people. Real estate people are not selling your birth right; It does not belong to you and you have no right to this land that belongs to someone else. MussaBeSic seems to have a fixation on the commission charged on real estate sales, I wonder why. Jealousy perhaps? Do you know the commission on selling pharmaceuticals? The profit margin earned by the gambling places? Etc.,.....

The motivation for this call to reopen churches is primarily greed. A triumph of the love of money over common-sense . Please pastors, have a little compassion for your sheeps.

Unlike some commentators here I am not an expert in international currency transactions at the governmental or country level but I can see no rationale for the USA to do this particularly with their current administration. Now PR China...…...

I always enjoy Stand up comedy. This sounds like that familiar annual comedy routine; no load shedding this summer.

This is refreshing, to see government ministers not pretending to have all the answers. We had more than enough waffling and obscurification with the last administration.

What sacrifices exactly is the doctor referencing that these employees have spent years making? Is it the sacrifice of getting up in the morning to go to work and get paid for it? All these businesses have, or should have, paid 5.5% of every employers wage every month every year to nib so that nib would have funds to pay the employees pension, sickness, and unemployment benefits. The employees themselves have paid a further 3.3% of their wage to nib tax. Successive administrations have squandered this money; and that is the true face of heartlessness in this situation. A cheap political shot which will probably come back to haunt them during their next round of electoral fundraising. They not getting nothing from me this time around.

It is a ridiculous waste of our tax dollars having these embassies in cities of foreign countries. they achieve practically nothing of any use. Close it down as soon as possible and then have a shared ambassador and embassy with all other Caribbean countries. And before some pedant gets outraged; I do realise that our country is situated in the Arawak Sea or Lucayan Sea or whatever the government decided to rename our bit of the Atlantic.

SiP. Good luck with your farm. In countries where farming is viable those farms are passed down for generations of the same family. Now lets see, how many large scale family farms that are viable in the Bahamas have been passed down through multiple generations of the same family? That is the correct answer; absolutely none at all. I wonder why? And if you think that solar provides free or cheap electricity to run an RO system to produce cheap fresh water then I can only wish the best of luck with your farm because you are definitely gonna need it.
