It must be nice to live in the world that the letter writer does. Someone they feel we can tell others to jump and they will. Thats not how the worlds works. But good luck. I'm sure all that will happen is we will all use VPN's to logon as they will just say no service from Bahamas ISPs.
They are doing what the law states. What you suggest is illegal. I assume you have never had an issue when they round down (per the law this is what must happen, if they don't they are breaking the law). At the same time there are times they round up. if you pay be credit/debit card then there is no rounding. I suggest for the next month you keep a tally of when they round down and when they round up on you. At a guess the maximum difference will be around $0.10 either in your favor or the merchants. Based on your idea to have everything rounded, you obviously want to pay a lot more (most items are priced at $0.99) when you shop, which seems silly.
Someone needs to ask Rupert what the effect would be on his prices should all the above be implemented. I would guess if PLP win and this comes up many companies will be downsizing before this gets passed and then have no intention of increasing. Anyway as always some good to it as the minimum wage is too low, but a lot terrible in it. We have too many people working dead end jobs waiting to be fired, who won't be as the company is waiting for them to leave as they don't want to or can't do the pay out.
People maybe waking up, but the powers that be aren't. Or are you protected if you are wearing party colors. The charade today at nomination was disgraceful. All involved should be ashamed. How can the powers that be tell the people to be careful if they are out and about with scant regard for any rules. Pathetic. I would hope the newspapers would call them out on this tomorrow, however i am sure it will be all about how great the day was.
And the winner is COVID. Well done all those idiots who want to be MPs so bad they are willing to put peoples lives at risk. At least we know for sure you don't actually care about the Bahamian people.
They are both corrupt. If you deiced only them two are going to win and have to make a choice then choose which one you think is less corrupt. But either way they both corrupt and useless.
Shall wait to see what the agreement says before commentating too much. However would just like to point out that maybe they should get someone to advise them how to put a mask on properly. At least 3 people are not wearing it correctly.

March was when the first dose was administered. The 2nd should have been 2-3 months later. So a little while longer.
