actually, if I am not mistaken, in the early 1990s Supervalue offered sahres to its employees, but they promptly sold them back not understanding long term investment, perhaps the reporter can inquire.

OTOH, I recall City Markets shareholders inside the harbour bay store having a heated discussion after it had been sold, an saying something like they patronized there because they had shares, and rowing over the state of affairs. What happened to them? they were robbed by the corporate raiders who bought city markets, just like the employees were.

Now, let us have tally of bahamian investors who were robbed in these share offerings? I can think of a few. A former employer of mine offered an IPO once, I just did not buy any of what they offered and I was looked upon as a pariah. I left the company after that. A few years later, the company folded and the employees never recovered their investment, neither did the members of the public who invested.

I find it odd that the same folks who keep saying "haitians will take over" do not want Bahamians to pass citizenship to all their children, by granting citizenship to the children of all bahamians, there would be more abhamians to go around.

the ontroproneurs came three times last week.

however, our apt. building pays bahamaswaste. the wutless neighbours dump their stuff in our dumpster. it is disgusting how many people like free things.

Better to speak out late than ever.

The chamber of commerce just wants to walk around in suits and get free business lunches.

Translation: payroll tax (the only tax they want to charge, as doctors and lawyers are not on payroll) or extra vat.

Sometimes the immigration letters are dated several weeks before the postmark.
then the post office will take the balance of the 90 days to deliver.

the private sector sees no need for wto because we can only manufacture things with protection.

look at the chicken situation, 20 years ago there were many local chicken producers now there is maybe one or tow and the wto members are already telling them to lower the chicken tariff.

you can be anything you want to be.

including as famous as lenny kravitz.

this is a time for parents to daily warn their children not to interact with strangers. also to arrange for children to return from school in groups.

teachers should also be warning children.

i noticed a woman at the bank whose children were calling her on the phone from the parking lot.
I told her not to leave the children alone in the car and offered to hold her place in the line while she brought them inside.
