Was duty and VAT paid on that bus?

Crazy idea, but how about they spend less fucking money? Do we really need to be pouring millions of dollars in to an embassy residence in DC? Sell it and rent an apt. Were the $30,000 sofas really needed for the London Embassy residence? Do we really need to keep bailing out Bahamasair? BOB? Etc etc?

I'm terribly confused. How does selling a product for more money result in less profits (or apparent losses?)

And the bigger picture question, is why does a gas station need so many employees? Everywhere else I go in the world there is a single person (at best) inside the gas station. Drive up, insert card, pump gas, leave. Why does every station have an employee per pump, plus one or two people inside taking payments? It isn't 1964 anymore.

You aren't a servant if you are getting paid and not working, that makes you a parasite.

The pandemic is over. Go travel anywhere else besides the Bahamas, no testing, no masks, no bullshit.

This is newsworthy?

Any pilot will tell you - this is a very clear case of a pilot trying the "impossible turn". If you lose one of two engines on takeoff, the absolute last thing you do is try to turn around. You climb very very slowly, gain altitude, and *then* turn around.

This is *exactly* the same thing that happened with the unlicensed "charter" operator a few years ago when they ditched in to the lake in Nassau. It seems that the regulators are unable to unwilling to prevent further deaths. They, along with this pilot, have blood on their hands.

They really need to consider a name change.

I've never understood this. If I as a person, or a business operating with shareholders, finds themselves coming up short at the end of the month/year/quarter/whatever, they have to cut expenses. If the govt finds themselves coming up short, they just extort more money from their captive market.

Ya know, crazy idea, but if we used roads for driving on, and threw parties at party venues instead, this wouldn't have happened.
