well this business chamber sold us out on VAT. that is why i do not feel sorry when these businesses close their doors, except for the employees.

they are again being taken for a ride on the WTO, and we poor people will suffer because they will only tax payroll and not income.

once you experience this, you will not miss having to drive around town to pay utility bills. the electronic records are better kept in case they get misplace somewhere (it happens).

you can also call the banks 24/7 if you have questions or someone locks in your password.

Even when hurricane mathew hit, and i did not have the internet for weeks, i used telephone banking to pay all my bills.

but business accouints do not have atm cards, so we need to deposit.

sadly, there are still businesses around town that do not accept debit cards, or charge more if you use a card. i avoid such places.

whenever there is a fire in the shantytown, it becomes 'gentrified'. some nicer homes are being built there.

Money orders have always been expensive, even when done throught the post office, i recall doing some back in the 1980s.

Paypal and amazon disclose the conversion rate and they are 4.9 cents on the dollar. so you do avoid some fees if you have a credit card facility.

I have a credit card at 10% per year and another one with no annual fee.

I just pay it off every month.

couries, plus these costs, still beaqt traveling costs to florida..

if you like lifetime contracts such as the one at the bridge authority, you will love the hereditary ones at UB.

If a bahamian walks off the street to apply, he needs a PHD.

But, they find a way to hire "instructors" with fewer qualifications who are the children of retiring COB faculty and then let them upgrade themselves to PHd level.

ssome people look good on paper, but still are incompetent in their positions.
It is the Peter Principle at work.

I would never call attention to my PLP affiliation, because that might have been the grounds for my appointment in the first place, and if i were to leave the postion, i would have a hard time fifinding another job anyway.
