well he was unqualified, and a hacker.

you forgot that someone is looking out to the money transfer businesses. there are at least two jamaican bill paying and money order businesses easily avaliable.

People scream bloody murder to pay 8.60 for a managers check but will pay multiple 3 dollars here and there for several transactions.

the interested family has to find an ally inside the pmh to ring her case to the attention of someone who can do something.

the civil service root is too slow.

well the cameras will suffer the same fate as the firmer immigration building across from UB at thompson boulevard ( now the bookstore).

destroyed in no time.

why splurge and be robbed in a prestigious international location.

it would be cheaper to put on your jewelry and take a stroll on nassau street.

or just leave the window open.

re: incentives for local production

in the past, the measures for those have always failed because of duties and fees structures.

for example, boutique bahamian jams and jellies are nearly always double the price of the imported ones because there are no duty exemptions for packaging so the effect of duty free/local fruit and duty free sugar is nullified. Now table sugar will be likely taxed and you can say goodbye to locally made jams.

i think the local companies who try to make washing dtergent and bleach experience the same effect.

I still cry over the loss of albury's tomato paste and sauce. no one favored them in anyway and another local producer disappeared taking away jobs.

re: warehousing

non-perishable things that come to be warehoused in the bahamas from other countries to be sold at amazon.

south american, middle eastern and african products are very highly priced at amazon because of shipping costs

I purchased some products from thailand where their
"fulfilled by amazon" tags were 55% of the price of the 'ships and sold from xxx". the seller himself said that if i had whole sale orders he would arrange to send it through amazon to make it cheaper.

> emergence of disintermediation actors,

People do not understand that-- sort of like Bitcoin.
You see this at play even at amazon, where international couriers now compete with amazon warehouse fees and many sellers opt to fulfill directly to the customers.

I wish one day someone with the money or logistics knowledge would start a warehouse service to fill up the courier planes that go back to Florida empty.

But Bahamasair has never lost a passenger.
They left Andros, and you saw what happened last week.
There will be many deaths from these private airlines not maintaining their planes.

As for me, I will travel by mailboat even if it takes 24 hrs.

I agree with you.
But the health concern by the govt must be a new thing because in the 2017 budget the duty on sugary drinks and potato chips were to be eliminated. They backtracked on the drinks because of local manufacturers and kept it at 30%.

I disagree that there should be duty on table sugar. Table sugar is healthier than high fructose corn syrup. At home, people do not sit down and add 12 teaspoons of sugar to a cup of lemonade, which you gind in a manufactured drink.

The breadbasket is starting to go away, nothing will be added.

The breadbasket was never meant to be a list of healthy things. This exercise is just to end price control and allow higher profit margins on their most voluminous sales.

I do not know who is going to change the culture of eating unhealthy food, but it is not going to be breadbasket.
