Super Value is cutting costs yet dropping exorbitant prices on customers. Very interesting! It's also mentioned that the government is going back to futures contract to lock in fuel prices. This is a game. Why would you di thus when fuel prices are low and given OPECs decision to increase production starting September prices will be even lower? This benefits the seller not the buyer. I wonder who the seller is.
This is in total contradiction to the information given by thr Minister of Health. The Minister of Health figures suggested that 20% of kids between 13 and 18 attempted suicide which would (in just this category) translate to thousands of attempts. Clearly thise numbers were not correct. The Minister needs to understand how math and statistics work.
If you place a placard next to the statue there's a chance for atrocities to be committed next to the statue and the placard. Humanity knows no limit to their savagery.
He is wrong for vandalizing the statue. But, the person the statue represents was responsible for the slaughter and extinction of an entire people. Should we honor rape, murder, enslavement and genocide? I see your argument is yes.
I don't fully understand the point here. He has a mental issue. So, that's the baseline of the problem. He needs help. On the question of states, monuments, naming of streets, etc we should not hold ourselves to keeping them. As a black nation that was discovered by Indians who were raped, killed and turned into slaves, we should not honor a man that is the very symbol of such horrific acts especially given our history which is stained by thre same acts.
As stated above the person who committed the act of vandalism has a mental health problem. He doesn't need a pardon. He needs psychiatric care. There are provisions in the law that recognizes this issue.
We need to also check history as facts dispute what we are teaching kids. We were told for years Columbus discovered the Bahamas. You can't discover a country when you find other people there. Also, he accidentally got here. He had no clue where he was yet Africans for a century or more knew the route. But, we celebrate European ignorance and savagery as a great achievement.
This whole article keeps saying, "me, me, me". This is the nature of competition. If you can't compete, ypu can't survive. URCA is trash. So, I can understand their frustration that URCA is working backwards. However, the problem isn't that consumers are harmed or there is a risknfor the country. This is a company asking a regulator to adjust the rules to.allow them to exist at a disadvantage to the consumer. Seriously?! Say bye bye to Cable Bahamas. Thanks for the article. Now I know I need to switch to Starlink.
I'm not sure what he's arguing here. The court did all it can do. You need the law surrounding the situation to change to allow the courts the room to levy a heavy penalty. What is over the top here is he is confronting them to "warn" them. That doesn't seem like a smart move. This could have turned into a serious confrontation. The smart thing would have been to simply report it as he doesn't have the right to act as law enforcement. I agree that they should be penalized to deter them and that they shouldn't be doing these illegal tours. However, playing cop ok the sea without a badge just gets dangerous. Luckily, nothing happened. Being right don't doesn't mean doing something wrong is right.
Are these figures correct? If so, let's say there are 100,000 teens. Thus means 20,000 have attempted suicide. In most cases or all there would be a need for some medical assistance. So, that's about 60 ER cases per day potentially. Keep in mind this doesn't include attempts by people outside of this age bracket. If there's a major uptick in hospital visits because of this you don't need a survey. To me, the content of the article doesn't line up with the expected response. Also, why isn't there a mention of what the average figures are globally? Putting numbers aside one death or one attempt is one too many.

The country had been like this for decades. What's new? He should stop wasting the country's money and focus on building the country.
