Maybe PharmaChem Technologies pharmaceutical plant partly because of high electric costs. Charging your existing large users more is crazy. Anything else in the world and you get a discount for buying more/buying in bulk. This is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. The governments new fuel rate charges are the same thing. What happens when all the large scale users close, install solar or wind and the utilities lose their biggest customers? Why would you try and hurt your biggest clients?
I have never been physically robbed of cash but, I have had my credit cards hacked, bank accounts hacked and have had many instances of digital theft. I venture to say you will be hard pressed to find a person that has not been the victim of credit or debit card fraud. Then you have the nightmare of weeks and months trying to get your money back from the banks. These people will say anything because they making 3-5% on everything and selling your data as well.
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
