The problem is then just recycled. There was a company that did that a few years from the time of PGC, to refinance for the owners. I have noticed that the properties are distressed again and repossession notices from this compmany appear occasionaly in the news paper again.

A mortgage is given on the current financial situation of the borrower, who often is too optimistic and takes the maximum amount he can borrow. The things can change with loss of jobs, divorce, illness and there goes the mortgage.

I also do not think the banks do a good enough job of explaining the addtional costs to the mortgage such as insurance, property tax and HOA fees. If they did, the borrowers might forgo new appliances and furtinutre added to the mortage and take the hand me down from their families till they get a little cushion.

there must be a lot of people suffering out there now that the credit bureau prevents them from borrowing 3 or 4 times what their salary can deduct and alternating the payments, even if at a stiff penalty.

they could kill a law abiding driver on the highway too.

occasionaly tho, the tourists do die by crashing into lamp poles in the town, or like in the case above.

while traveliing to southeast asia, I would not rent a tuk tuk and go around driving myself.

Sounds so nice and progressive.

Open the door to free movement of labour(no permit) , no visas, maybe even common passport. Yup. All to make it easier for merchants to open shops down south.

> “no one wants to pay an additional 36 percent on their medical insurance” from April 1

I thought vat was 10%, which was being paid all along.

The only additional thing woud be the 10% on services which was not being charged.

Who is collecting the other 26% rise in premium. The insurer? Glad I am out of it.

there will be no action. they come for the free flights and free meatballs.

your people are in power birdie, do something.

But also these businesses who accept direct deposit payments are not courteus enough to send an email receipt to the client, so I have to keep chasing them till I get one.o

And so it is with the domestic labour sector too. If you shop the the supermarket outside old fort bay, you woud think you are in Asia, and that all asians wear domestic uniforms.

If the requirements are the same as the banks, then this will not capture the unbanked.

i tried to join one such service, after uploading all documents, a stupid bot said the name on my passport did not match because of a hyphen. Never min the date of birth was the same. I never bothered again.

In reality, anyone with a credit or debit card can do all these digital transactions , likely at a lower cost.

Since you are to listen, please stop flying in your private jet, so I can get to my underemployment in my Nissan note. Thanks.

the restaurant owners should have let the sleeping dog lie. but they likely wanted to quiet and sell it.

many have done that while blocking access to beach front.

so , they assessed property tax to people who do not own the property. the thing where tenants of commercial property will be liable to the property tax of their landlord is not new. lol.
