Although, I can some hypocrisy in the PLP calling for transparency and accountability, I would admit that the government should give an account of what is going on. Besides disclosing to the various bodies that should be looking into the state of our finances, the people need to be told what is going on. We can see that management skills is lacking in the new government. It has been a skill lacking in prior governments as well. At some point we have to start a new day. We need a better country and better governance.
On the errors, there are so many in the papers. It's like no one reviews these articles before publishing. I saw an article a couple.of days ago where they mentioned about an elderly man who travelled here was found with drugs and sent to jail. He was released after spending I think 5 months after pleading guilty. I mentioned that article because the story starts by saying he was caught with cocaine. Then later in the story it changes to.marijuana. so, I'm reading the article and thinking what the hell is going on at the Tribune? Are these articles being checked at all? Also, to make that mistake the reporter must not ha r read their article after writing it.
It would be good if he explained his methods here. He starts with 10, them goes 9^2 then some powers of 4, etc. But, he's not explaining to the reader the logic behind the numbers used. The question is, is there a general model that he tweaked to determine a Bahamian one?
Also, he's not mentioning what factors can impact this model, that is increase the values or decrease them. Humans and scientific theory don't work in tandem.
If he's opening up beaches, you might as well let the bus drivers earn an income. Between 5am to 9am with the beaches, you can be sure you will have half the island out. If you're allowing for businesses to open, you have to keep in mind some of the employees at some of these businesses take public transportation. So either they have to find someone to give them a ride or they have to pay for a cab. Last time I checked some people only make minimum wages, so cab fare wouldn't be a part of their budget.
On the cab drivers, there are not many tourists about and they for the most part are allergic to locals, so what was the rationale for allowing them to operate now. I see a greater need for public buses than taxis as stated above.
He's talking about renovations but we don't have PMH up to speed to handle an influx of Covid-19 patients. Also, the doctors and nurses haven't been dealt with.
Did they disclose which companies got these contracts? Also, was it a fair and open bidding process? The words transparency and accountability is deafening here.
Although, we may say that it's not Bahamian news, it is very tragic news. As a black nation, it's important for our black youth particularly in the inner city to see successful positive people of color. So, the death of Chadwick Boseman, although he isn't Bahamian, there's value to recognizing it within our context.
For the record, there are other non-Bahamian stories from around the globe that are on this website from time to time. As they have a section in the paper for international news, I believe they put online those that are major note.

I don't get it. Bahamasair has been losing money for years. What is the justification for keeping them?
It loses money. Management is a disgrace, if you can actually consider Bahamasair to be managed. It adds no value to us. Shut it down and move on.
