I think a lot of people hope that this is the case that causes it to stop. Its wrong that we value ourselves less, but if this changes things then at least some good may come.
Lol Government can't do anything in time, and yet always expects the Business community to be able to. Anyway prices will go up, and Government can blame the merchants and we shall see if enough people believe them. And doing it this way means the cost falls on the merchant and not the Government
I am sure the government don't care. They will trust that most Bahamians won't understand this, then they can say how they tried to help but the greedy merchants did not pass it on (i can already see the flightless one saying something along these lines). All merchants should get together and produce a flyer they can put in their store saying how they will be increasing prices due to this and how customers can find out how it works at X website. If they all went together it may work, but i am sure they won't and the Government relies on this.
