no consumer buys fruit from abroad for price savings... well noone I know... if anyone does Id like to know the secret.

I should have added "they have a sale, *and still make a profit*"

Super value mgmt. Lol. He was right about one thing though and it's very mysterious, they raised the price of produce and I've seen it with my own eyes, the shelves **restocked** with **spoiled** fruit. I'm not in their meetings so I'm only **guessing**, but the only way the restocked produce could be spoiled on the 1st day is if its bused from the more upscale location out West when the Czars and Sultans wont pay for it. Where's the Consumer Protection agency?

"*When you look at growing the Tech sector, you cannot grow it organically with your own people, which is why attracting these tech companies here and bringing workers here is so important.”*"

I always thought that the CEB bill was written by someone in the tech sector to facilitate them bringing in cheap Indian tech workers for their private company...

mainly because as a legal document it had such poor structure and the mention of IT industry just stuck out even with the attempt to bury it under the mention of other industries. It was **odd**.

Then the govt revealed its hand with the announcement of this "*waiver*" that allows any Indian national **anywhere** in the world to fly to the Bahamas to work without a Visa . They didn't announce that any Phillipino anywhere in the world could fly here to work in a boutique healthcare establishment

This is all about sourcing cheap tech labour for someone's personal business

I rarely use rice flour or sugar, as mentioned below our shopping tastes arent 1-1. I buy 4lbs of nuts for 11 dollars. I forget the size of the small container of walnuts that they priced at 16 dollars...I buy fruits that dont spoil quickly. Like oranges. They will last forever

so i dont buy cornstarch or yeast. my Morton salt was bought a year ago and is half full. Looks like your method works for you and mine for me

This is **very** significant from the auditors

"*Management is **of the view that its negative equity and lack of solvency are temporary positions** that have resulted from its inability to generate revenues following its dispute with [Jimmy] Campbell and Bank of The Bahamas, which precipitated the imposition of restrictions by the Securities Commission.”*

And they've essentially been blocked from generating any new revenue since Feb. For whatever reason.

I repeat, not enough capital at start and I hope they get a bail out.

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.
