Remember that people here even refuse national identity cards. the populace will never trust any government enough to give up civil rights. And rightly so.
the man who steals the gold chains on the streets is an equal opportunity criminal, he will steal from anyone with a gold chain.
giving up civil rights to a bureaucracy will result in injustice.
after I read this letter i took a walk among other bahamian news sites and I pity the state of the FNM.
these people over 60 should do the right thing and let someone else try.
Dr. Minnis has squandered his opportunity and concede. The 70-80 years old hads their time in the sun and should concede. the 50- 60 years old proteges, well the old guard just used you, concede,
someone new is required.if the party is to survive.
For years, i have avoided going to ATMs when the bank is closed and there is no traffic in the vicinity.
when the bank is open, there are security guards, so it is harder for someone to stalk the vicinity.
also i use my atm cards for most things, food store, bill paying, except the gas station, but i may actually try to use the machine as the gas station. Somehow i do not think the machine at the gas station is secure.
many merchants nowadays accept credit cards for amounts less than twenty dollars.
if you notice, many of the cash for gold outlets are now closed. people just stopped wearing jewelry, and so the business dried up. looks like the gold rush is over.
it is too bad this story was drowned by the referendum headlines.
the cost of health insurance is ridiculous as a percentage of the monthly income of an average person.
i dropped mine years ago, even with a subsidy of my employer. the monthly amount is like a car payment or almost as much as rent on my income.
the amount i pay yearly for tests and medication as a private patients is about two months worth of premium in health insurance out of the year.
the health insurers are to balme though because they refuse to change their cost structure.
One of the blood tests I have done twice a year costs seventy-five dollars for me as a private patient. but the same lab bills two hundred and twenty dollars to a health insurance patient with a thirty dollar co-pay. they likely get the remaining 45 from the insurance company, this is a ripoff of the client.
some women are compelled to do that if their husbands are foreign and therefore the child will bear the nationality of the father. if the father's country does not easily give thie citizenship, the easy solution is to be born american.
these same children may not be amused years later when the IRS comes looking for them to pay tax because americans pay income tax no matter where they live in the world.

Often the amount that can be withdrawn is minimal, there is a daily maximum and sometimes your balance is way less that the daily maximum anyway
this seems to be a pattern now, there was a near fatal incident less than one month ago:
