LETTER How can we break cycle of poverty?
THE troubling cycle of poverty in The Bahamas calls for more than momentary solutions, it demands a shift in mindset and structure. For generations, too many Bahamians have faced a system that appears to domesticate them into a life of limited opportunities, where poverty is not just a financial state but an inherited mindset. This domestication, while subtle, is reinforced by a lack of inclusive economic opportunities, which effectively stifles entrepreneurial spirit, erodes confidence, and traps potential in a cycle of dependency and resignation.
LETTER Steps to stop violent crime
As someone who lived on Step Street for over 12 years, the news of a mass shooting immediately filled me with worry for the people I know and love in that community. I couldn’t help but wonder who might have been hurt or lost. I reached out to my niece and other friends who still live there as I prepared to head to the scene.
LETTER Create positivity at work
The old adage, “When you dig one hole, make sure you dig two,” reminds us that harm intended for others often rebounds on the one who initiates it. In the workplace, this warning speaks volumes about the destructive power of gossip. When gossip infiltrates an organisation, it poisons the atmosphere, creating a toxic environment that affects both individuals and the team as a whole.
PLP facts versus actual facts
I have always said in The Bahamas that when it comes to politics, there are two sets of “facts”; the actual facts and there are Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) facts and what I have come to find out is that these two sets of facts do not assimilate.

Musings on Mosko project
ROCK Point...West Bay…let’s state the law as to access to the beach... public have right up to 10ft above high water mark. their eastern boundary stone wall questionably blocks access but there is no law, I suggest not having a boundary wall-fence... this issue is void.

Appreciation for Dr Eddison Thompson

FNM must move forward

Justice applauded
I was constrained to write after reading your Front Page report dated Monday September 23rd, 2024 and captioned “‘Married Women’ law reform call over FamGuard Dispute”.
Are our politicians patriotic?
PATRIOTISM, which is love for or devotion to one’s country, appears to be lacking in the hearts of many of our present day and past politicians - all to the detriment of the Bahamian people.
Put focus on stopping the crime
I find the comments made concerning the recent apparent lenient sentence imposed on a multiple rapist whose crimes included the heinous rape of a 83-year-old woman very interesting.
