I have a hotel to sell him if he thinks we are not going to see increased taxes sooner or later.

ALL government taxes you see today started off small and just to pay something. They then balloon and become permanent.

The government in no way will cut spending that's required. Further, we need gang busting growth over and above anything we've seen to get the revenues in. The bills will come due!

Does anyone want to partner with me to sell him a bankrupt hotel?

A few years ago when D'Aguilar was a businessman he would have a full story laughing at an idiotic statement made by whoever Minister would have said that.

I'll use that as an excuse the next time the govt passes another emergency order.

What officer?, We have 7,000 islands, rocks, cays and bush. First time I hear we on lockdown.

Isnt there a station right there.

ring ring..

hello this is the Fish Fry Police Station

throw some hotsauce on anything and it taste good.

expensive piece of spouse tho.

Then went on lockdown.

Now we have another prediction.

Least this one is more possible since he didn't claim a specific number and went back another year.

So it could be .01 or 9.9.

It probably did the opposite. If the US and world economies are doing well then yes. However, if you have Atlantis with its 3k rooms open in the slow season, during a pandemic, during a great recession why would the other hotels want to add even more inventory.

There is a basic cost to operate these hotels and they can't make money at 10-20% occupancy. Perhaps Atlantis is gambling that they will get most of whoever comes. Also, Atlantis is owned by an Asset Manager they may be thinking of getting revenue to pay off their debt.

Do we still call him the 6-7million man?

You should be happy they didnt mention their lack of recent travel history.
