The diet starts tomorrow.

Sometimes local products are more expensive by design.

Take for example, jams and jellies, they are easy to make. But the imports are duty free, the local person has to pay 45% duty on glass jars, so his product will always be more.

Carrots are easy to grow. But when you have to buy soil, fertilizer, and spend countless hours growing them, it is cheaper to buy at the store.

This could only survive as a cottage industry.

Oh great, one more way to victimize people.

But the premise is wrong, spouses do not have citizenship pending for 5 years. The path is that they can apply for permanent residency (no right to to vote), apply, apply--it is not even automatic.

Just show your xenophobia, call it like it is, 'paper bahamians'.

But , while you are at it, let them wait 5 years to get a passport, open a bank account and get vaccinated.

I used to like LBT. another one bites the dust.

The counterpart of that is to stock up on the items which price have not increased.

I stocked up on alcohol and vinegar in the beginning of the lockdown and it saw me through until the price stabiized. Tho the vinegar did go up.

By keeping it he keeps it out pf the landfill.

If he can beat renward wells to it.

Well governments have hardly ever helped the agro business. That is why the chicken and eggs business were anihilated.

What does bamsi produce or do? It was just a slush fund.

Also the govt has to get the public to buy into it. Like, eat sweet potato and forget rice.

They tried growing tea in Turkey for 100 years and it was not until the public was asked to switch to tea as a patriotic gesture during wartime coffee shortage that it became the national drink.

Some idiots were on the radio saying they planned to grow rice in Andros.

No . Plenty goat pepper being sold at Montagu stop light.

Hottest pepper of them all.

Well vaccines have never been a cure. Only Renward Wells think so.

I must confess that I thought it prevented you from getting the disease, and recently reckoned that MMR did not work for me as a child. At 3 years old I guess I was not responsible.

It is scary tho. You mean the dog and cat can still transmit rabies? And I could still get tetanus. Damn I thought I was protected.

People no longer fall for the "appeal tto authority" fallacy. So now they try calling stupid and try to get you vaccinated to allow you to attend weddings.

Lol. They have to do much better than that.

Now that you mentioned it, there is actually a shortage.
