This is 100% the fault of the Bahamian govt. They are dictating to private companies what prices they are allowed to sell their products at. How does that make any sense at all? They don't tell the lawyers how much to charge a client. They don't tell the restaurants how much they should sell their hamburgers for. They don't tell the mechanic how to price his spark plugs. But for some reason they are qualified and allowed to dictate to the gas station owner what he sells his fuel for, regardless of what it actually costs him?

So if they want to end a marriage, let them end a marriage. Why is that cause for concern? People get divorced all the time.

And all of the tourist trap mediocre restaurants in Marina Village *do* fit the aesthetic?

The funny thing is, every employer I speak to tells me they can't find anyone to hire.

How dare you use such offensive and vulgar language here. This is the land of unions, monopolies, xenophobia, and protectionist policies.

tldr; We want to be able to charge people $83 for a cheeseburger and force them to tip for bad service. You aren't allowed to sell <$10 burgers on our island.

Wow, it is almost as if competition is good for consumers.

So where did this $12.5m go?

If you are going to go down, go down kicking and screaming. Well done Capt Smith.

Govts, road, massive real estate holdings, gold reserves, oil reserves, many many things.
