Decades of the Bahamas abusing visitors, jailing and deporting tourists for having $1 more than $10,000 between a party of 5 or having a tiny amount of Marijuana on them and yet allowing jetski rapist thugs to run wild on the beaches of the major resorts is really going to impact and speed the destruction of the tourism sector in my country Covid or no Covid.
Punishing tourists and foreign investors for daring to come to the Bahamas while allowing this kind of abuse to continue to happen will only make matters worse
Hello government officials. There ARE OTHER OPTIONS for tourists and residents, taxing and abusing these people are NOT going to make them want to come here to visit and to settle, it will only drive them away which will result in LOWER tax revenues, which will result in MORE DEBT THAT CAN'T BE REPAID

A COMIC'S VIEW: Behind the world on marijuana legislation
Yep. No matter that the murders in this country are at a record high, JetSki thugs are going wild on the country's beaches beating and raping tourists at will or that robbery and violence on our streets are a normal course of daily life,...our fearless police and defense forces are spending their valuable time tracking down a plant being moved across an imaginary line to protect Bahamians against something that is now legal or decriminalized in most of the G20. Way to go guys!

He keeps ranting about "$40mm houses", what are there, like 2 of those? Any idea how much VAT and duty is paid to build a $40mm house????
People built their homes and invested in the Bahamas based on certain representations by the government, such as the $60,000 RPT cap. If the government feels they can break this deal AFTER money has been spent buying land and building homes they are going to alienate the very people that are propping up the Bahamian economy, and yes, these people will leave and go to more friendly jurisdictions like T&C and Cayman.
Why not collect the hundreds of millions in RPT arrears out there before threatening to increase the rate on people that ARE actually paying their RPT on an annual basis?

DPM’s vacation rental ‘law breaking’ concern
Considering the stone age "infrastructure" on most of the out islands, it's pretty laughable that this guy criticises legitimate home owners for complaining. Pay more tax for what?
Diesel powered "temporary" generators, tank trap sized potholes, an electrical grid that crashes every 5 minutes, coax cable that's rusted and doesn't work, invisible police force, laughably bad "water" system,....and on and on and on and,....

Government ‘still in talks’ over Cabbage Beach access
anyone with access to a jetski or a small boat can access the entirety of Cabbage beach at any access point they choose. Climbing over private property to access the beach is an issue because,....well it's private property. NOONE is denying Bahamians access to the beach.
It is the jetski operator thugs and their drug dealing accomplices who beat and rape unsuspecting tourists on a daily basis when given unobstructed access to the beach that are ruining things for everyone. Why haven't these criminals been stopped?

Giving people back .000001% of their own money that they blow each week gambling, in the form of food even! If that isn't "caring" I don't know what is!

‘Rightfully outraged’ over cruise line video
Sadly, the evil jetski thugs have taken their criminal chaos beyond their normal Cabbage beach turf into other tourist areas where they rape, beat and rob unsuspecting tourists on a daily basis. These gangs operate with impunity on the beaches of Paradise Island and New Providence and are so out of control that tour guides and cruise ship operators are compelled to warn their clients about them.
Only in the Bahamas could a criminal gang control and pillage high end tourist areas while the authorities watch and do nothing

EDITORIAL: The silver lining on the cloud of debt
I read this idiotic article a few times trying to discern what the "silver lining to debt" might be. Other than a helpful explanation that a deficit is "the difference when more is being spent than received" I didn't see any other useful information.

There is no silver lining to debt. Debt needs to be repaid and until fundamental attitudes change in this country things are only going to get worse. The Covid crisis is forcing to the above issues to the top.
