Just drive us into the ground, barely breaking even, or making a loss and having to pay on full gross, completely irrational, just drive us under even faster!!
I agree, especially when there are minors involved...but will you ever see anything done about it if it is not aired in public and the ensuing public outcry. That's my ONLY possible spin on it is that it forces the polices hand to act and act quickly. It also slaps the politic in the face and hopefully serves as a wake up call to prompt reform.
This is a slippery slope...while I do not agree with spreading these videos around like wildfire, sadly, unless something gets enough exposure, as it does in the viral videos, the police won't act. If no one sees it, it is more easily swept under the rug and ignored. If it's in your face, there is a chance that action may be taken, and whatever reforms that need to be made to better our society MIGHT have a chance to get some backing and initiative. It's a tricky one...
It blows me away that we have a full blown shop front, pedaling what is an illegal item in the Bahamas, and is now complaining about it now that they cannot supply. Don't take into account anything in your business model that is illegal. How people try to justify this 'because it's happening all around the world'...it's the law!!
Even with a bit of tech, we are still a third world banana republic...best weather station is the weather rock or coconut!! Lick ya finger and stick it in the air to figure out which way the wind blow!!
It's simpler than that...the government need to make sure they get all the rules in place and all the cookies in the cookie jar so that once they pass the legislation, the vast majority goes to them.
100%...I've said this from the get go. With the flat VAT of 7.5%, you could catch the anomolies as everything should fit within very confined parameters, start making VAT variable along with exemptions and all those checks and balances are blurred and the door is open for fudging figures.
