> Sir Franklyn Wilson, the FOCOL Holdings chairman, yesterday argued that the Government should reward gas station operators for their “prudent judgment” by giving them a small increase on their present 54 cent per gallon fixed margin “as soon as circumstances allow.”

This greedy SOB, aka Snake, wants us, the honest hard working financially strapped taxpayers, to subsidize his insatiable greed. Snake, through the terms of his franchise agreements with the lion's share of the gas station operators, literally controls all of the key parameters that determine their profit margins.

And like the very greedy boa constrictor that he truly is, Snake tightly squeezes the gas station operators until they squeal to make sure he ends up pocketing a disproportionate share of the profits generated by their operations.

This is one member of the ruling political class who should never have been allowed to develop a de facto monopoly over our country's supply of fuel. We should all be dreading the thought of the whopping light bills coming our way this Summer thanks to Snake's insatiable greed.

Cruel Davis should be giving us a Gas Tax Holiday for the rest of this year, and the greedy Snake should ease up on his own very tight squeezing of the gas station operators he supplies fuel to at higher than necessary prices aimed at keeping their profit margins to the minimum possible.

ZZZZZZzzzzzzz.......

This article by Hartnell gets the 'Joke of the Day Award' with Larry Gibson being the joker. Gibson through his employer must be one of the many consultants who for decades have been sucking heavily on the National Insurance Fund as a source of generous fee income.

LMAO

Sands is certainly one arse who happily believes everything the IDB officials report in an effort to keep our corrupt government officials sucking heavily on their 'lending tit'. What an economically ignorant fool Sands is.

Plenty of his usual hot air while he wheels and deals for himself behind the scenes. He and Cooper have a lot in common.

You deserve the "Misinformation of the Day Award". LMAO

Being subjected to unbridled corruption by a cruel political ruling class combined with the naked insatiable greed of those like Snake is proving to be an unbearable situation for most suffering and increasingly desperate Bahamians.

I remember when Bowe repeatedly told us that the introduction of VAT was absolutely vital to our country's ability to pay down its national debt. Of course Bowe now sings a different song, saying the introduction of VAT was a necessary evil to slow down the rate of growth of our national debt.

But our national debt has increased exponentially since VAT was introduced. Bowe just doesn't understand that you never feed corrupt and incompetent governments more tax dollars to be squandered on growing an already over-bloated and unproductive civil workforce, and to outrightly steal through fraudulent schemes of every kind imaginable.

The sooner we get a long Gasoline Tax Holiday the better. Too many of our people are now hurting and suffering and their increasing desperation is palpable everywhere in our nation.
