This letter writer seems to have a strong bias against people smoking marijuana. There is no evidence that I have ever seen linking "smoking weed" to violence. There is however an obvious link between drinking alcohol and violence. The simplest solution to any given problem is often the correct one. Alcohol abuse, not weed, is almost certainly at the root of much of the violence we see reported each day. Alcohol lowers inhibitions while weed just makes you lazy.

LostMonStanding, you been watching foxynews again, haven't you?

The real estate business in this country has prospered like never before in the history of our country under a Democratic administration. This prosperity has not only enriched some few Bahamians but has also added huge amounts to the governments income through direct taxes like the Stamp tax and VAT on property sales, but also indirect taxes paid by the new ex-pat owners. It will be very interesting to see if the real estate market continues to thrive as it has been doing, under the new Republican administration. Time will tell.

Using the word Integrity in a sentence with Politics,
. Is placing two words together that simply do not mix.
. More especially in a country where so many are corrupt.
. Politicos and pastas will let nothing interrupt,
. Income streams derived from wrongful hidden tricks.
sigh...

As all students of history know in the 1934 Wehrmacht Republic the organization known as the Hilter Yout started out in just the same way. A populist leader is a prime requisite but then a sycophantic supporter is also necessary. In 1934 the homosexual drug addicted Himmler was key to the ONazi regime rise. Fred has learned lessons from history.

Actually a brilliant suggestion. It will, of course, be missed.

What $3+ billion financing is this?

TALkingrustler; No is the answer to your last 2 comments. Izmirllian did not originally plan to use PRC financing, if I recall correctly that was after Covid hit. And secondly, check out Malaysia port and city project.

If CCA pay the compensation then it will like an admission of guilt and the company and it's principals will "lose Face". If CCA declare bankruptcy then the company may save from paying out but they will still lose face in a huge way. If I understand correctly they cannot appeal the verdict without putting the money or a bond. They are between a rock and a hard place. Would it not be great to know where that 2.1 million ended up?

Minnis, you rifght. ignore the trolls paid for by the PRC or the PLP. It is hard to see the difference after the Bahmar/CCA disgrace.
