How much was government collecting 2/5/7 years ago. I'm sure it was nowhere near the $1.60 today. Probably half that 5 years ago. Government greedy bad.
They need the money to spend $70 million on a $18 million dollar stadium. I just want to know where they stuff all this cash? Does it leave the country? It must.

The US provide the majority of our major health care. They provide the majority of our food and retail items. They provide a significant chunk of our tourists, either as individuals or by air services. They provide a significant portion of our ability to ship in goods. If Florida alone turned their backs to us our cost of living would double while our economy would shrink.
We are not... at all... independent.

Lordy I was just going to type the same thing. I'm sure the US hid an AirTag in each one. I think I may as well.

Some of these will never be deployed. Some will never be installed to a building. And some will somehow make it to peoples homes.

But NIB is a 2 tiered system now - granted the lower tier is well below our minimum wage. They just need to add another 1 or 2 tiers.

Sickened says...

And to the topic at hand... any thoughts or concerns about the about face?

Sickened says...

Why isn't there ever any discussion about creating additional tiers so that the wealthier people contribute more?

I think the PLP should add extra burden and taxes on the AIRBNB entrepreneurs in order to further reduce room capacity for tourists that want to come and visit and inject money directly into the hands of individual Bahamians.

Sickened says...

Strike already. PLP ain't checkin' for any of you or any of us. They need money for their personal ambitions. They only have a few years left. They will have record revenue but yet the stadiums will be a shamble, the roads and infrastructure will be a mess, the hospital will still be a shiite hole and schools will still be structurally unsound and moldy.
And by some weird twist of reality, even though the public won't be able to see where even a penny has been spent, there will be a huge deficit which requires even more tax in the 2023/24 budget.
Check the consolidated account for money eating caterpillars because somehow/someway the government just doesn't have the money.

Sickened says...

Nothing a brief case or two can't resolve.
