> A would-be visitor to the country recently talked to The Tribune about scrapping plans to visit The Bahamas because they were immunocompromised having had treatment for cancer – and could not take the risk of boarding a plane and travelling around people who might not be following social distancing rules or wearing masks, and the same in hotels when they arrived.
I am sure that this individual refrained from other activities on the account of being immunocompromised as well.
**volenti non fit injuria: The Timorous May Stay at Home**

Yes, that is exactly what they are saying. They were elected to do that.
i am thankful for the fifth column that brought omicron about. Omicorn is a defacto vaccine.
Many years ago, electric golf carts were all the rage in Abaco. They were costly. Now their resale value is low, and people selling will tell you they need thousands of dollars worth of batteries.
The solar power is also a ruse. The sales people do not tell us about long term costs.
In Spain , people were induced to invest in Solar energy to sell it to the govt. Then a new govt cut out the purchase and brought ruin to many.
At least here BPL refuses to pay and compels you to buy their energy. Lol.

I will let Mr. Bertram go first. Cruising at 90F and 95% humidity down Independence drive. He would not last a day.

You ixpect me to believe that?

You ixpect me to believe that.
If that were true, then supervalue would start a dairy farm.

Unlike the price controlled items, their margin is not fixed by a percentage.
So, if you are a dealer and buy gas at 5.00, your price at the pump is 5.45. So your profit margin is 9%.
If you buy the gas at 8.00, your price at the pump is 8.45. So your profit is 0.45÷8 or 5.6%.
Now let's look at the eggs, the margin is fixed by percentage, 10%. If you buy eggs for 5 dollars you sell at 5.50.
If you buy eggs for 8 dollars, you sell for 8.80.
So yes, like Tribanon says, the margin for tha dealer is set by amount and not percentage.
