Hahaha ... you think the tourists don’t notice when they’re gettin’ fleeced? Ask anybody who ever checked out of a hotel here how they felt when the “advertised price” was inflated on the final bill by 33% through an endless list of fees and taxes.

I was once charged a “junior maid training program tax” at a Nassau beach hotel, when I spent a couple of nights there on a shopping trip from the Out Islands. Hah. Funny thing was, nobody cleaned the room the 2 nights I was there. LMAO.

On Eleuthera, at the tourist joints they charge $5-8 for a bottle of Kalik that’s $2-3 at the “locals” bars. Please.

Easy for him to say — the government remains open, and he and everybody else continues to draw a salary because the government is still collecting VAT, property taxes, endless fees, etc., etc. Yet he expects a business owner to keep paying employees while taking in NO revenue at all. Because, hey, ya gotta have “heart.”

You wanna see who has a “heart, compassion and a soul,” Mr. Prime Minister? Suspend all government taxes and fees and see how long you can keep paying government employees — and yourself. Put your money where your mouth is.

Hey, Mudda ... things being what they are, you’re not likely to gin up a lot of sympathy here over a little scum on your swimming pool. Birdie’s gonna go nuts, and TalRussell’s head might explode ... 🤣😎

Great. I can buy a carburetor but I can’t buy a can of beer.

Uh ... mudda ... the building under discussion is in Washington, D.C., not Nassau. The power supply is pretty stable in Washington. The bills are pretty low, too.
