Mr. Young has been rather quiet on the subject of ex president Trump recently, he seemed to be such a n ardent supporter in years past. It is very interesting how to be a compassionate person who cares about the future of our world is to be denigrated and labeled with this new quasi insult of being woke. It seems that caring is now seen as sinful by the political right wing adherents. Sad really..

It will place my bet on one of them Numbers Boys who been so busy spending long dollars to rehabilitate themselves as upright citizens, if not then some rich religious person; an apostle or bishop or something like that. Third guess would be the usual failed politician.

How refreshing to read a well balanced and truthful account of the genesis of the country as an independant nation. The rewriting of history as disseminated by the Pindling administration and used as a political propaganda tool was both divisive and false. It is so much better to live in a country where "All we is one".

No one has ever accused the Bahamas civil service of being staffed with highly motivated well qualified staff who do not owe the position to political patronage.

If it is financially feasible to operate a bank in |Andros then a bank will open there. This is how a free market works. Banks are not run as a charity to fulfil people's needs; they are run only to make a profit. Successive government tax structures and regulations have severely impacted bank profitability; combined with very real financial risks of doing business in a country whose government bonds have been downgraded to junk bond status, then it is not surprising that the country has seen a significant downsizing of the foreign banks, mostly Canadian.

And we march on with hands outstretched to get that free gubmint money towards a nearer clearer failed state. This is not the new way, it has been going on for near on 50 years now. Dollar devaluation soon come, then you cry.

This letter should be submitted for a prize in the "Really? Who cares?" contest. It may just be a winner, or at least, a whiner.

Congratulations to Regatta Commodore Dwayne Wallas and all the committee members.

Assigning a building as a shelter is the easy part; providing ongoing adequate funding to keep it open will be the real challenge. There is an almost endless line of abused women and their children who will need this facility. If it was 10 times larger then it would probably still be 10 times too small.

The country has 10 national holidays. There are 280 working days in a year. Less at least 10 days annual vacation, less 5, usually, days off sick. So actually 255 working days. To add another national holiday will decrease the country's PDP by about 5/8th's of a percentage point. Many tens of millions of dollars irretrievably lost. It seems that We have never been blessed with a majority rule government that either understood, or cared about economics; it is all about All For Me, Baby, and how can I use my position in government to earn a million dollars in 10 easy days. Sigh.
