Every developed country in the world offers free breakfast for primary school kids.

No it won't, you lazy miscreant. There is not one voter that on election day will say: "I was going to vote for the PLP, but because Brave said that thing about creatives, I am going to switch my vote!"
Richard should stay in his little hole that he has been in since his election defeat and stay there.

Yes America has junior doctors.

As does UK by the way.

And all of Europe.

I suggest you read the article again. Comprehension seemed to have missed you the first time.

This column, more than anything exemplifies the enormous chasm that exists in The Bahamas between the rich, white, upper-crust, pampered resident and the poor (or middle class), black Bahamians:

1) Of all the issues that exists in this country: a) growing inequity between rich and poor; b) education; c) crime; d) mother's literally having to figure out how to feed their kids; e) climate change (HELLO!)...Diane bemoans the fact that her AmEx card was cancelled? Perhaps, dear Diane, when you receive your new minted credit card, from whichever company you decide to apply, you can use it to "charge" a bit of perspective and empathy.

I will second your agreement

Sand dollar is a flawed project for The Bahamas. The purpose of a CBDC is essentially to serve the unbanked. In The Bahamas, we do not have a large unbanked population, i.e. most people have: a) a bank account; and b) access to the internet to process transactions. Bahamians, then, can utilize their commercial bank account and do not need to rely on an alternative mechanism (CBDC). Even in the family islands, where there are less brick-and-mortar operations, a CBDC will not prove particularly helpful.

For once - after all your bloviating - you have a point. Joe Darville and Eric Carey - whom you defended when I trashed him in another post - are just mouthpieces for hire, available to anyone that can pay their price and provide them with any hope of relevancy.

Actually, it would not have. One of the exemptions prescribed in the FOIA was that of government business (my words). So, this did not have to be disclosed.

**"Not too long after the fanfare of those high profile celebrations, FTX was bankrupt, the irreverent, publicity seeking, short-pants wearing CEO was in prison and millions of dollars were owed to Bahamian companies from Podoleo Street to Albany. We then discovered that the usual friends, family and other suspects were some of the prime financial beneficiaries of that debacle."**

All true, but at least have the integrity to remind everyone that all Bahamians (and foreign investors) got back their initial investment PLUS interest, some as high as 1.5 their initial investment. That was made possible by laws implemented by the current government. That doesn't fit your scatological narrative, of course - but keep ignorantly bloviating.
