Take a look at all the outdated information on DIR website. whoever is responsible for the DIR website needs to do better please. the thing is a mess and so hard to find the relevant information that you need.
Says the guy who greased many a wheel to get many a govt contract over the years. What kind of "difficult of business" did FOCOL have to go through to get the no bid BPL Fuel contract? How can I get one of those lucrative govt deals please?
so the story is that the cooling water system is poorly designed or prone to failure due to the high calcium and salt content of the water being pulled out of the ground and circulated. This has lead to multiple failures over the years and the problem has never been addressed. Many millions of dollars and no one thought to mention that the ground water in the Bahamas is hard and will corrode your faucets and seals? out of warrantee and I guess it's time to upgrade or replace due to poor maintenance? I think they were installed around 2012 so 13 years of service aint bad I guess operating on 1 of the 4 at a time? 28,000 hours is probably about the intended lifespan maybe?
I might add that if you are earning just a little above minimum wage you in the lower class not middle. a family in the Bahamas needs to earn at least $100k per year to be middle class and afford a home. $100k per year means $8k per month or $2,000 per week household income. Average household income in the Bahamas is currently reported to be $42k per year or $800 per week which does not cut it for middle class life.
No it is the taxes, fees and custom broker fees etc. that contribute to the high cost. The actually cost of shipping is low compared to all the other costs involved but that would be too difficult to scapegoat.
actually Trump started the printing of massive amounts of paper money. almost every single govt in the world went into a printing frenzy. pinning it on Biden is disingenuous at best.
