fckouttahere Birdie, waste of text.

there should be an issue with the gambling houses open at this time, and Bastian is well aware. In an ordinary, healthy economy, sure, every adult has the right to do what they will with their money, if they want to fritter it away against near impossible odds of a jackpot, fine. But in a severely contracted economy, with no easy, quick way out, what impact do you think gambling houses will have on an undisciplined society with essentially nonexistant savings?? Do you think the "3000 gaming employees" is a plus? Thats a small writeoff for him vs the profits he will rake in straight from the wallets of the poor & ignorant, thats where the real damage lies.

indeed. and cultivated for sensationalism and ignorance.

what law did Sands break? To my knowledge a family of 6 broke our laws.

How is it an error in judgement? he obtained permission from key ministerial/ governmental players. he resigned because it turned into a mob driven, political shtstorm. He made the requests for permission because there was a material benefit to the nation. Bahamians are equating that flight with the plight of the hundreds stranded. ALL of them are unable to finance their own airplane to get home, ALL are relying on a government sourced flight, probably 2-3 Bahamasair flights. And then other retards start hollering bribery...really? an accomplished, successful millionaire is going to stash the swabs in his garage? The short-sightedness of this politically feral populace amazes me.

garbage, hot, steaming, garbage. Sands was solid and effective, his only hindrance was having to play politics in addition to actual effective work.

You get it....some clamor and ask "why?" Others look behind the curtain, understand, and gain access.

bllsht Birdie, stop sowing blind partisan nonsense. The man is doing his best with the resources at his disposal, and in my opinion has demonstrated frankness, resolve, and authority few of us can match. I wish him well.

100% reasonable....
