It takes 3 to 4 weeks to get an appointment to open an account at most banks on New Providence. The first question by the bank clerk is "how much you are starting the account with" before you will know if the appointment will be in 1 week or 3 to 4 weeks before an appointment is set. Then when you go in for the appointment, they give you a list of documents that you must bring back to them in another 2 or 3 weeks. Their list include how many sheets of toilet paper you use to wipe yourself. it is a very difficult challenge for the prospective customer to outlast the banks demands. The saving rate of Bahamians has got to be the lowest in the western hemisphere. Instead of going through the long and tedious process of opening a savings account at the Bank, Bahamians go to the " web shops" to spin and lose their money, the way the government designed it to enrich their owners and politicians. Talk show host's talking bout local Bahamians opening businesses, seriously?? in the bahamas????? get real!!
I you are not one of the first 100 people to apply, then you all out of luck, because after the first 100 people (government members, family, lovers and friends) to get the free medicine, the medicine gone. As our great forgotten entertainer, Mr. George Symonette, used to sing, " Never mind the noise in the market, only mind the price of the fish". For some unknown reason(s), we keep minding the Noise In The Market and consequently pay dearly for the high cost of the fish!
Just think what the savings to struggling Bahamians would have been it all this effort have been applied several years ago instead of just before the general election is due to be called again. If it does happen the sustainability has to be questioned, as we all know how election promises are mostly Fantasies, as experience has too well taught us. Good to see that we are now getting space debris dumped on our beautiful God given Bahamas waters and lands and additionally other foreign country's excess cheap foods. It has never been better in the Bahamas???
Well, they are planning to destroy the Space Station, and now that there is a readily available dumping ground in the Bahamas your guess is as good as mine where all that debris will end up as well. That event should bring another several million tourists alone and a huge boost to our new "Space Tourist Industry". Fisherman will soon be catching two-hundred-pound toxic Grunts that will feed many of us.
I would believe that news like this involving Bahamians in other countries of concern should be investigated and edited to ensure readership clear understanding. One would be lead to believe that this person, committed a crime in another country and fled (escaped) to avoid detention by the country's local and international authorities. if there is knowledge of a detention order being issued, the order will have to state the reason for the detention. Having had some previous involvement in the then procedures of newsprint, every story to be published went through an editing process. Apparently not the case anymore??
Be transparent and disclose the origin of the eggs. The average price of one dozen eggs in the USA, the largest market in the area is $4,95 to $8.11 and they are not importing these eggs to retail at $3.79 per dozen in their market?
Well wait,The "space tourism" will be getting a whole lot better, plans are to dismantle the space station and wonder where the Debris from that will be dumped?? now that a space debris graveyard has been located??
What is the current and long-term environmental impact of the toxic chemicals a debris to our marine life and production and overall health of the citizens of our country. The Tourist fishing industry is currently great on the islands will " this New Industry" have any environmental negative affects on our fishing industry, our crystal-clear blue waters and white sandy beaches, the most beautiful in Gods created world?
