This is good. This tax will be paid on profits, not on revenue as the current business licence requires. A 10% rate will likely see a savings for businesses in their tax bills. This incentivizes owners to invest profits back into the business as they now see a savings, where as currently it does not matter.

Why is it draconian to ask people to pay their taxes? What does that say to all the people who did pay?

Did the attorney general of the government of the Bahamas just say that fixing a web portal is 'beyond our control'?

Nearly complete, just like all the rest of the promised legislation from the past decade. What has the government actually done since coming into power?

Hey Birdie, I thought the government was never properly briefed about the hedge, and that's why the trades weren't made. But in those last two paragraphs it seems to say they were well aware of the trades and chose not to do them.

Please tell me which story of your dear leaders are we supposed to believe?

Tal, the reason that FTX accounts based in the Bahamas were still accessible is pretty straight forward. All those brides paid to officials here who rolled out the red carpet for FTX and not give any thought to regulation, well they still needed to get their money out as the bribes were likely cryptocurrency in FTX accounts. Bankman-Fired is only under supervision to make sure he doesn't flee, he'll be arrested when the officials have their bride money safe.

You think there should be a vote on whether people should be allowed to rape other people? I'm pretty sure that has already been settled. Did you rape someone Birdie? Are you hoping to absolve yourself in someway?

Here we go again, Birdie, just say it, you support raping women. You keep on spouting off every excuse imaginable. You think women should be raped. It's so wild how you can just dance around the subject and keep going on an on about the assault of another person, that somehow you believe is justified and deserved.
