So 64% of the people have to make enough money to get by and pay the salary of the 19%? How is that sustainable? How many of the 1 out of the 10 people are looking for a job and hoping not to find one or only working for Friday?
While I might agree they need a increase. They have threated shutdown to many times with no follow up. Their bluff has been called multiple times so it is not longer a threat.
It is so nice when I call some of these international based call centers and I can hardly understand the person because their accent is so thick and different. Then they also do not understand the geography of the Bahamas and recommend I visit a branch that is no longer on the same island as me to conduct business not realizing that would entail flying on a airplane and in some cases staying overnight in a hotel. There are some benefits to having a call center in the jurisdiction where business is being conducted
So when these fees start what is the departure tax money used for? Is this not what is supposed to take care of the airports? Where that money going? I have no problem with these PPP but, the government still keeps its fees and taxes that are supposed to be used for a purpose and then the private people add new fees. Double dipping.
What really gets me is you cannot apply for a new certificate until the old one expires and then you days or weeks etc with no TCC. A person should be allowed to apply 30 days before their current one expires.
