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.
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.
The reality is the islands are dormant, some even foundering. Save for a few bright spots like fishing lodges or familiar boutique resorts, all administrations speak in glowing terms of "potential" while campaigning, only to see those words dissipate as they wrangle with their true capacity for leadership and innovation for 5 years. Time to take the bitter pill, better someone develops than noone. I would suggest an arrangement not unlike Providenciales where a local with ties to the land is inextricably bound to the project, and the lease released after 100 years.
"Balloon satellite"? Its either a balloon (atmospheric) or satellite (orbital space) can't be both continually....just search the net and read before publishing, sheesh.

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