Legislation could be passed that would mandate every insurance company to ask the insured operator of every vehicle if they would consent to be an organ donor in the event of being declared brain dead by a properly administered medical authority. As an incentive the government waives the 10% VAT payable on the premium. A note is made in the drivers license and the insurance papers which all drivers must carry with them, This would be particularly useful for the younger motor cycle riders who have good healthy organs but only suffer a little in the common-sense department of their brain. Remember that almost 100 people lose their lives each year in the Bahamas.
If I understand correctly the only reason that the budget projects a surplus is because the country is borrowing more money than it is spending. The country is just getting ever deeper into debt which cannot be repaid even during the lifetime of our children. To spin this as a great achievement clearly shows the degree of fiscal understanding to found in our country. sigh.....
Good news, now perhaps we will find out the name of the high ranking politician who was named by one of the defendants as being involved in the corruption. Wouldn't it be great if we could place a bet on which politician it is with one of the local gambling dens? Which party members would have the better odds?
The Law of Unintended Consequences will most probably dictate an exit from the rental market of some landlords and a reluctance of investors considering an investment in the rental market; consequently the number of available rental units will decline while rents will increase. Sadly the electorate are not savvy enough to perceive this result and will instead applaud and support the rather blantant example pf pandering to secure votes in the upcoming election.
Many of us have noted the way so many police persons drive and so will have formed an opinion already as to whether or not the police vehicle was being driven in a safe and sensible manner. How much is the life of this young woman, lost so tragically, worth in monetary terms? 25 million dollars, or more? Add the salaries she would have earned over the next 30 years, add the value of the unpaid work looking after family members, cooking, cleaning, etc., add in the value of the unborn children that she will never bear. Such a tragedy, and so avoidable.
I offer my congratulations to , Brigette Dupuch-Knudsen on both her achievement and her choice of altruistic career. The Dupuch family have a long and distinguished historical record of service to the Bahamas ; she continues this tradition. Thank you.
