Jazz needs to dress like this pic, he looks great here. Slim fit shirt, Fitted pants, no overly flashy statements, no drenching in gold and diamonds. We know you make money, no need to wear it. That aside keep doing well and stay healthy

"*without material new revenues, **significant** cost-cutting or **well above** average economic growth”.*

Well isnt that something. For years here, people have been commenting that we need economic growth and that all the crowing about *7 million tourist and tourism is hot* means nothing. All kinds of backlash that we dont know what we talking about, how you guh grow the economy? First suggestion, stop stealing ideas from innovators. They can do it better than you. They have the vision. Second stop giving out million dollar technology contracts that should cost 50K at best for garbage. Third stop being petty, you dont have to like someone to mutually benefit from their idea. Money dont care who hand it lay in. Fourth stop inflating construction project contracts and getting subpar work from fake contractors who have no expert construction knowledge and simply subcontract to half skilled workers for subpar work. For example, collapsed roof *not a roof*

Id argue that all these cruise ship and hotel deals they talking about basically giving away our land for 100 years dont mean anything either. They havent improved us at all. The old *white saviour* and *black money bag man* models never worked, it's just more obvious now that it's not working.

Anyway... it look like Simon Wilson in the background breaking open yuh 5year-old piggy banks and taking the chickens and goats if he dont have enough silver and gold. While Halkitis walk past whistling saying "*Nothing to see here*",

I dont know how or what you buy, but I just reordered **again** and I'm very familiar with the prices I pay in store and the prices plus duty when I import. FYI We actually pay on avg 15-20% VAT, they've always lied to us about 7% and 10% and who "helping" us by lowering the rate.

I watched Roberts send a certain brand of toilet tissue from 5 to 10 dollars within 2 months! And this was **before** the **first** 7.5%VAT implementation. I saw apples creep from 89c to 2.19 around the same time. No global nuttin was happening. So I dont buy the inflation "only" causation at all.

I think Bahamian businesses practice a form of profiteering just like true pirates. Actually pirates een have nothing on us, at least they dress like pirates so you see them coming with their sword and gun.

Businesses charge as high prices as they can then when people stop buying they have a sale. Exactly what Robert's described in this article. Since I don't buy every single item in the food store, I'm willing to concede that I'm unlucky enough to be partial to the items that get the highest markups.

Lol. That's interesting I've done the calculations and realized I can get my items 30% cheaper than Super Value if I order directly from the US. If I had a group to order bulk it could be 40%.. or more

It's interesting that Christina Rolle survived FTX but Keturah Ferguson is out at Immigration for being observant and a good steward

I wonder why they never approached Sam for an investment. They should have if they didnt. He had the kind of money they needed.

My hope is that someone bails them out. I heard stories about "lavish cars", but if you got a new job paying 10 times your previous salary you'd probably buy your dream car too, so I dismiss that. Travel? For the business they were in theyd have to travel to try to get to more investors and they csnt set up a lunch meeting at McDonalds so I give them some of that.

My concern is that the SEC expressed interest in operating their own crowd funding platform. I dont know and cant know how that figures in this but it's an uneasy feeling.

And Campbell should have had access to at least 5 year projections. He was 68% owner with 1.6m, that "sounds" very low but only a view of projected expenses would confirm that.

I dont know if its lies or not, but the scenario "in principle" is quite possible. Shareholders with enough power can kick an entrepreneur out of their own company. especially if they function as the company's bank and especially for innovative initiatives. On the other hand sometimes the entrepreneur walks away voluntarily with a big pay day.

Which leads me to agree with Mr Rahming on understanding of business. I remember trying to get an initiative off the ground and being offered a very strange funding option for the particular industry. I said to the individual and myself that simply wont work. I knew if underfunded my company would essentially be taken, sometimes investors do this with intention of taking a potentially profitable company

This sounds like the same story that was running in 2021 for the Minnis administration. Remember persons calling repeatedly to say the COVID trackers werent paid for months, garbage contractors, landscaping contractors, and those were the ones who spoke publicly.
