Meanwhile normal citizens have to drive home from work or school like 007 to make sure they aren't being followed then lock themselves in their home-made prison of iron gates, bars, security cameras and alarm systems with a personal armory inside and 6 dobermans outside...definitely no need to fear...
So has his rate increased, fuel surcharge, or make-believe usage? You can't just say the bill went up. A better thing for Mr. Miller to focus on is finding out whether or not the govt will be rewarding BPL their 3 Million $$$ "performance bonus" at the end of the year...
Working on info that is 2 days old probably. Similar to Joaquin, all the reports were based on forecasts that were over 18 hrs old. Seems they don't check forecasts after 5PM... . . There are barely any models here pointing at Trop Storm in 120 hrs.. http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminf…
They know how much this "IT system" could cost?? If they're talking about hardware and software it could be another million or more after cushioning and lining of pockets.
Again I quote... "Mardi Gras, New Orleans’ world-famous Cajun equivalent of Carnival, brought in $164 million directly to the city in 2014. When the year-round value of Mardi Gras’ brand (such as merchandise sales, and sustaining lodging, bars, and restaurants) is included, the figure grows to $465 million. This was 2.22% of New Orleans’ GDP and provided $17.6 million in tax revenue to the city and other government entities. In 2011, the net fiscal benefit to the city was more than $13 million, or a return of $8.45 for every city dollar spent.
Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival (the largest of its kind in North America) is also phenomenally successful, drawing in 1.2 million visitors. A 2010 study found that it generated $438 million for the local economy and resulted in the creation of some 6,800 jobs, of which over 80% were in the Toronto area. The return on investment is staggering, since the combined cost to Toronto and the provincial government of Ontario was only slightly over $1 million." . . . http://blogs.blouinnews.com/blouinbeatb…
The 3 or 4 higher intensity models are the ones that match with the track guidance going more towards Havana, not the ones going over middle of Cuba. Worried about Crooked Island though, it continues to be in the cross-hairs. Rough guessing game for another 3 days or so though.
