no the price hike will not be linear.

Vat itself is not linear, it is a multiplication, so the increase will not be linear.

However, there is a chance that it will be linear for about three months, until new shipments come in, so you could engage in a second round of stocking until September.

I will be watching the base price of the breadbasket items, as i only stocked for one month.

when the market does what it wants, like avaiation and andros, you have to fly hackers.

or, for example, bahamas ferries who completely dropped passenger trips to south abaco.

for such bombastic content, it is amazing that there are not a lot of comments.

maybe someone buried this deep down the line so few would see.

this is not true, many have paid fines to customs, even if story not in the newspaper.

i know of a man who went bankrupt as he had to sell all his property to satisfy customs.

you might want to check headlines for the past 2-3 years.

sure the borrower is never at fault.
according to you at least.

in the past i recall some unscrupulous borrowers who used their loan money inappropriately and conducted their busieness in manner where profits were not possible. they sued the bank, they lost, the employees were never paid. it is really disgusting because the bosses enjoyed cars and houses and boats off money that should have gone into the building.

the landlords may not be willing to rent from those who come from the shanty town. In a shanty town you pay as you go, when money runs out, you go without electricity or water till you get some, this is difficult to do when subscribing to regular utilities.

when the money runs out, you glean food from friends and family.

they might last a few months, till they find or build another shanty to go to.

the bible says the poor will always be with you, the shanties will sprout again.
