This statement is so biased and myopic. Maybe the writer could have noted that thee were a number of other athletes with better times than Adderley who wee not able to come to the World relays as their schools did not release them. Trying to make Adderley seems like the be-all-end-all fo the mixed team is crazy.

And, if Gardnier and Miller-Ubio are not in the pool fo the Olympic team, we can forget it. Let's see how Adderley can do without them.

While the BOC may have the final word in selection, a fair and clear process is needed. Not one whee the president comes on national tv and says my daughter says if we don't pick Adderley she will quit track. That is not how you pick a team.

So will the government stop covering medical insurance for the families of Cabinet members?

Will they also stop paying a pension to all the consultants they have brought back from retirement?

Will they also stop paying the pension of politicians who have died to their families?

How can anyone take this guy serious when he has not done anything in his won country to reduce dependence on fossil fuels?

Maybe Davis needs to take his own advice and move from rhetoric to action.

Why?

Government needs to stop this foolishness of using tax payer money to fly these people home. If you make the choice to leave home to go to a school outside the country, then you need to be able to ay to get out when the time comes. That is called taking responsibility.

This parent needs their head checked. This is not the responsibility of the government.

My child was in Florida when a hurricane was about to pass through. I went online, purchased a ticket for her, and brought her home. That is my responsibility and not the government.

Do you realize that Colorado thought the same thing? Now with other states having their own industry people stop traveling and stayed in their own state.

Why would Floridians travel to GB when they can do it right in Florida?

Pipe dream?

You are not serious right?

If the owner is compliant, all the goon squad has to do is check the records at the relevant government offices.

This is intimidation.

But it easy not to see the issue, until they do it to you.

This has nothing to do with enforcement. This is intimidation.

IF the business was not ib compliance why not go to court and shut it down?

Further, the nonsensical response was that they checking for compliance. That is ridiculous. Every government entity has records. All they had to do was check their records.

Since when do we have goon squads with guns going around to check for compliance? This is gestapo tactics.

Absolutely,

You can have teh intimidation unit go into CBS Bahamas with guns, and yet that same unit will never go down Cowpen Road whee they are lined up from just after 6:00 in the morning, everyday.

What make it worst, is that the court and the police station are in the same yard, facing each other.
