Outstanding taxes and what is achieved?
Greetings and thank you very much for the space in your daily newspaper to have these several points unearthed. I appreciate it.
Weather changes
THE Farmers Alamac, an American Periodical has been forecasting North America’s weather since 1818. These long-range forecasts have offered farmers, meteorologists and the public a explanation of what will possibly happen with our climate and why. Well, the Alamac’s predictions for the winter of 2022-2023 should elicit our attention and possible response to the highly active weather to come.
Woman and man face court over separate assault charges
A MAN and a woman were charged in court for two separate assaults yesterday.
Frugality? Prove it!
GOVERNMENT talks but they don’t practice what they preach – frugality!
GB does not need Nassau charity
A prominent solicitor who responded to the remarks of the financial secretary in the Ministry of Finance in The Tribune Business spoke for most Grand Bahamians when he essentially said that New Providence was not sustaining that northern island in the wake of Hurricane Dorian in September 2019.
The FTX meltdown
Bahamians should fasten their seatbelts. The collapse of the FTX crypto exchange under the thirty-year-old Sam Bankman Fried and his young colleagues may turn out to be one of the biggest financial scandals in Bahamian history.
Light gun sentences
On the same day last week that it reported the 121st murder of a Bahamian for 2022, The Nassau Guardian casually reported that a man was sentenced to a mere three years in prison by one of our magistrates for driving around New Providence with an assault rifle in his car.
Goodman’s Bay
Totally agree with writer P Bullard. Visitors from the States once residents who frequented Goodman's Bay in their time wanted to stop and spend some hours enjoying the quietness and the views of the bay - got there around 11:30 in the morning and round-and-round we drove trying to find a parking spot in the eastern end of the park. Eventually risked parking behind a parked vehicle of a person who got there before and were on the beach and they kindly offered to park behind us as we weren't leaving for an hour.
FTX impact
The full financial, social and political impact of FTX’s collapse is far from being known – in my view. One thing is certain, and that is a multitude of ordinary hardworking folks throughout the world have lost their whole life savings – or a significant portion of it as a result of FTX’s burst bubble.
Sensible plan?
IS government development of housing in a country, especially on New Providence with very little useable real estate left, the policy of this Government and of the past sensible?
Cat Island
This letter is addressed to the attention of our Prime Minister of the Bahamas, also the representative of Cat Island.
Solomon’s cannot revive GB
Grand Bahama Minister Ginger Moxey recently told attendees at The Winn ceremony that the revitalisation of downtown Freeport is finally here.
Free food for needy
Should those who really have a lot go online when there is ‘free food’ being distributed and partake? Surely their conscience pricks them?
The causes of crime
As A trained lawyer, albeit a defrocked one, I had extensive practice before the Criminal Defence Bar during my hey days. In fact, at any given time, I commanded 80 per cent or more of the most heinous cases before all courts, the Supreme and Magistrates included. The other lawyers were obliged to literally, in some case, fight for the crumbs. As such, I came to understand the economic and psychology of crime and the causation.
Protect our children
“WE owe our children, the most vulnerable in our society, a life free of violence and fear.” — Nelson Mandela.
