Ley me take you back to Jamaica in the 70's. You cannot have price controls with Government subsidy, which has to be paid for by increased taxation. The price of goods at source are a variable, which means, if there is a price control and profits cannot be made, suppliers will simply not import and sell.
In a importation economy, it has to be free market. It will force people to think about consuming local or regional produce. Also cut your cloth according to your size. What you can't afford you don't buy
Well actually you are correct as the local committee should be handling these matters. However as a practical matter, these events are not assigned to countries without a written guarantee of support from public funds. This is why Carifta 2022 Was moved to Jamaica from Guyana. They could not get that guarantee from their Govt.
Relax, stop the comparison. The team did ok. After a pandemic and with a team of inexperienced athletes its ok. Its not my business, but what I find strange is that in other territories, the Athletic Associations announce bids. IN Bahama-land. politicians get involved in the bid, and muddy the waters.
The host country and organizing committee is mostly responsible for accommodations. So da govament will end up footing the bill.. Bra if you gonna host, just host, you don't need to be selling silly packages. And to teh other fella. IN Kingston this weekend Bahamians vibed up the place with their band. WE did not feel any kind of way.

Seems like this chat section could be full of Rapah bulls.Or domestic abusers. How something so clear can be subject to debate is beyond me.

Yes, I guess, but is that really true?
Based on population is probable Haiti could overrun Bahamas. Its unlikely Bahamians can overrun the US.
That being said, people like Bain are clowns, regardless of their country of origin.
Its just like Jamaica, our issues are not related to outsiders, but ourselves.
