The online and digital payment options in this country are horrible. The amount of time it takes to add and remove signatories from a bank account and sign up and remove employees from online banking systems is atrocious. Payroll options are horrible if available. There are many times a business still uses checks for this very reason. It is so much easier and faster to deal with. I for one have never been robbed of cash or been victim to check fraud but, I have had credit cards, atm cards, and online systems hacked and compromised. These people are just fools trying to keep up with fashion.
Tax business and growth and you get less business, investment, and growth. Tax people who work and give to those who do not, money, and benefits you get less people who work and more people with their hands out. When you tax something you get less of it. Simple economics.
"projecting it will beat revenue and operating income forecasts for its present 2026 financial year by double-digit percentages" Meanwhile the cost of living and especially food is sky high. What a nice thing it is to have a monopoly on a critical piece of infrastructure like a port on a island.
Oh the irony. Redundancy insurance as another expense to a business is most likely to cause more redundancy. I wonder when hard working business owners (not talking about big business will get a feather in their cap). Many small/medium business owners work as hard or harder than their employees and sometimes get no benefits just trying to keep the doors open hoping for a better day.

These people are masochists. There is no other explanation.
