Had quite a bit of money in Fidelity for years and still do. I have perfect credit history with many banks. I asked them about a loan once and was told I would need to cash secure it at 110%. Who would borrow money like that? This is not from a bank that honestly wants to lend money. The banks in this country are jokers when it comes to credit. So many people are going private now for loans. The creditor gets some interest that the banks do not pay and the borrower gets decent terms without all the bul$.
Yet the government wants to treat honest taxpayers like criminals, killing us with regulations and red tap to drain every penny they can get out of our pockets and you have this going on.
Zero benefit for some to get a BL if one can get around it. Why would someone do it? To be treated like a criminal by the government and them grinding your business to halt with their come back tomorrow, just step out, bring your DNA, saliva, urine, blood, and fecal sample to do the most basic tasks when interacting with any government department?
In 2017 when Brazil had the huge canned corned beef scandal almost every country in the world including China banned canned corned beef from Brazil for a period of time. The Bahamas government did not ban it and the wholesalers/retailers fully knowing that it was deemed not safe to eat kept stocking it on the shelves. They both are culpable for the food quality being sold in The Bahamas and it is shameful.
Why would anyone want to go through the onerous hoop jumping process of getting a work permit for a foreign person if a local one is available to work?
They will take a picture of your car and print it out on a piece of paper with a road traffic stamp on it. Kind of like the new NIB cards. Photocopy the old card on a piece of regular paper and stamp it. We are the 21st century after all.
Just put NIB to 110% one time and get it over with. Then NIB can hire everyone in the country to work there. It would be a wonderful solution to the problem.
