You have to forgive the letter writer the PLP don't use Insurance, they just get the public to pay for their shortsightedness. How was he meant to understand what that insurance payout means.
I wouldn't say unsuspecting cruise ship tourists. Theres enough warnings, that they just choose to ignore most of the time (and yes there will be a few who are unsuspecting).
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.

Until a Government gets rid of Bahamasair they will never be serious about dealing with our economic problems.

The letter writer conveniently forgets to mention all those who have gotten fat off of the PLP helping them. Both parties are useless.
