Government is one of the biggest drivers to the cost of goods, duty, fees, business license on gross, port charges, inspection fees, having to buy someone lunch just to do their job. So much red tape all costs to business. Mandatory corporate company lawyers. Businesses are the VAT tax collector for the government. Does anyone think that administering that is free to a business? Just the elimination of that stupid penny has cost business money with little accounting blips etc. that need to be dealt with. Government needs to look at their own self and not private companies as to cost of goods in The Bahamas. NIB rate increases with another one coming soon. Running and maintenance of backup generators because, BPL sucks so bad. All extra costs to Bahamian business and ultimately the consumer. My suggestions to lower prices to shut down the price control department and use the savings to give business a tax break. I wonder how many people they have on their payroll.

No evidence that the cloth masks do anything, it is not science. You mask/lockdown dictators need to give it up. Wear your mask if you want. The government here like in many other places needs to get rid of all restrictions, mandates, etc. People are tired of this crap it is harming our society, economy, and many other aspects of our country for nothing. You wanna wear a mask forever? Put it over your eyes so you cant see the rest of people who just want to get on with their lives or you can wear it on your as*%.
John Hopkins Study recently done shows these lockdowns etc did about jack shu$ for covid with a reduction in deaths of.02%
We have basically destroyed our country on the advice of the "experts" for nothing.

Some of these people will never let this die if they have their way. It is over. Just let people get on with living.

The real pandemic is scaremongering and fear.

It only impacted 3 birds and 1 goat.

Why are we still hearing from this clown? The Bahamian people clearly said they do not want to hear from him anymore.

The same Phizer that the FDA following a FOI request has asked a court to not release all the clinical data used for its approval until 2076? Sounds legit.

"It's just a mask." "It's just six feet." "It's just two weeks." "It's just non essential businesses." "It's just non essential workers." "It's just a bar." "It's just a restaurant." "It's just to keep from overwhelming the hospitals." "It's just to make the cases go down." "It's just to flatten the curve." "It's just to keep others from getting scared." "It's just for a few more weeks." "It's just church.” "It's just a bracelet." "It's just an app." "It's just for tracing." "It's just to let others know you're safe to be around." "It's just to let others know who you've been in contact with." "It's just a few more months." " It is just a travel visa" "It's just large gatherings" "It's just a vaccine." "It's just a blood test." "It's just a scan." "It's just for medical information." "It's just a vaccination certificate." "It's just like a credit card." "It's just a few places that don't take cash." "It's just so you can travel." "It's just so you can get your driver's license." "It's just so you can vote." "It's just a few more years." It's just a booster shot" " and on and on we go.

I think we need to make more new positions like office of the spouse. Maybe expand it to MP's and Senators.

Yeah and when the power is off and the internet is out ( I mean this never happens in our country) how do you propose people conduct business? Just close down because you want to get rid of cash? These people are some kind of jokers living in lala land. I guess after a devastating hurricane like Dorian we can all just use our cell phones, internet, and power. Cash is still king in this country. Online banking services are a joke here with very little offerings compared to other places.
