the plp are also forgiving the fine when conveyances were not immediately recorded.

through negligence of my attorney, i had to pay a fine, which was quite substantial, for the late recording of my conveyance.

had I waited, i could have those written off. the fines were less that the cost of litigation of that bad attorney, but also have the added advantage that the bank no longer holds my papers.

it is disgusting how people can avoid paying bills, but i have to pay.

when merchants do not adjust their prices, they go out of business.

remember the avon ladies? there is not one of them left because people order online and beat the price.

there was a time when i used to bring toiletries back from the US. Nowadays, it costs a lot for excessive weight in the luggage. last time i travelled i looked up the online price at the pharmacies and amazon for the stuff i buy. a local pharmacy could match or even beat certain items as they are duty free. I knew i did not have to buy those toiletries away and restricted myself to items that i cannot purchase locally.

but old habits die hard. for both consumer and merchants.

He thinks rupert ruberts tacks on the price of each item himself.

the larger merchants price their things with a device called a computer program. you enter the margins for each item, the landed cost for each item and the computer matches it up.

but, since i do not think this guy has ever touched a computer, he will not read these comments.

i hope i live one day to be as old as this guy and that i will have a sinecure too.

to be expected since the tax should come with a reduction in expenses.

instead , the tax was used to fund follies such as carnaval and contracts to friends and family.

remember how the softned the VAT blow saying it was going to pay down the debt?

now it will be up to the next government to dance the holly golly and say they need an increase in VAT to bring down the debt.

and no one hears about fiscal responsibility anymore either!

and nowadays people are afriad to go to the movies, hotels and beaches because of crime. same difference.

this price control commission is just hot air.
control the price and there would be no merchants.

your food store would look like the produce exchange after 12pm, only hot peppers left to buy. lol

well, after all the vetting is completed, only birdiestrachan will qualify to fill the post.

I did not realize you need to produce empirical data to write a letter to a newspaper.
Gee, empirical data is not even required for government work around here.

Perhaps you should hold your self to your own requirement and show your empirical data 'not one student ever ' remained in exile because of an intolerant society.

That is a plausible reason, and is not the only reason. Likely the most common is a job prospect.

the recent insert in the Tribune had testimonials of persons treated with inequality and intolerance by virtue of the referendum issues.

as we debate, today children born to married bahamian women and foreign fathers have to pay for and obtain a belonger's permit to register for school. This means 18 years of troubke and expense for these bahamians.

someone please buy this man a compass, a radio, a subscription to the daily newspapers and membership to social media sites.

referendum is a fighting word, dude.

Save your breath for your convention.

you really miss evry opportunity to strike the plp's achille's heel.

that is the new fallacy, the insult fallacy.

i used to know a woman, now deceased, who complained that her children , born of an american husband and born in the bahamas, could not become bahamians and left the country and so she had no help in the old age.

the writer is entitled to her opinion, I m not sure if she is right or wrong.

But i am sure that when you call her a liar, you are not only being insulting, but failing in your 'ability to reason for yourself'..
