Me too. My business is close to shut down. I do not think anyone realizes how many business are just teetering on shutdown. The regulations are becoming even more killer than the taxes. Sucking up so many limited management resources and limited talented labour. Instead of growing and expanding your business your time is consumed dealing with government BS. ;.gov.bs ror government websites and the BS part says it all. This is not FNM or PLP thing. The whole thing is rotten to the core.
While I think the government does need to reduce spending. These are the same people who say The Bahamas cannot access all types of low interest financing and grants because we have such a high GDP. Sorry IMF cannot have it both ways.
Time for Abaco to revive the old days of blockade running. Kind of strange how a very rich blockade running family from the past is now some of the big investors of basically blockading the public with these port PPP like the Nassau port.
Those who do not like it do not eat it. Do what you did before this program came into force. The food does not look that bad and I am sure to at truly hungry child who is in poverty it is fantastic. If the parents have the means to do better then cook you childs breakfast or send it with them like you do now. People are so sad and petty. The only slight ounce of criticism I can say is maybe they should have a fruit included like a few banana slices or a couple slices of apple. These people need to get a life.
Can we charge BPL a fee for when we have to maintain our own generator to have reliable power, That is the cost of the generator, fuel, servicing costs etc.?
