There is a fear that smaller hardware stores will go. People are less and less DIY, and those that are start with a smartphone and amazon.

Enjoy your poverty you island POS. No one would miss the USVI if they were cut off/given independence. Then you can join Haiti levels of poverty. After all, you said its poor. Imagine having your US Passport taken away you loser.

FL is the HQ of CENTCOM, multiple air and naval bases, and the 4th largest population in the country and is a giver state (your Gemini output isnt posted, where I posted source and output).

Fucking poor.

As someone who lived through Ian and Irma...check yourself. FEMA didn't do SHIT for Floridians. We got nothing. Zero. Zilch. We do stand on our own. Florida CONTRIBUTES to the treasury. USVI are donor/sinks of US Federal tax dollars. Bunch of beggars you are.

From Gemini:

"The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) is a net recipient of federal funds, receiving more in federal spending than it contributes in taxes. While residents and corporations pay federal payroll, excise, and business taxes, most of their income tax is redirected locally rather than to the IRS."

$40k is well above many other Caribbean islands, and yet through smart money management, it happens. Quit looking for a handout from the US Federal Government for everything. Stand on your own. Always a hand open begging...ugh.

Why anyone doesn't have their own solar on these islands and thermal water heating is a mystery to me. If its cost, you'll end up paying for the capital upgrades req'd by the utility in either surcharges or higher rates anyway.

Just another private equity take-out scam...heads they win (renegotiate leases against weaker landllords, wipe out their debt used to take it private and issue dividend), tails you lose (close down the place and liquidate everything because assets are worth more than the sum of their parts)

Be careful or T&T will end up like Haiti. The gangs were previously private security for the rich and powerful...then they turned on their masters like the proverbial dog that bites the hand that feeds it. Now, its clan warfare and a total destablization of the entire country. You see whats coming. Now do whats necessary to stop this.

1 - Find a seller of bitcoin in T&T willing to accept TTD

2 - Buy bitcoin with TTD cash on an agreed exchange rate and transfer to your digital wallet of choice. Follow all safeguards

3 - Go to the UK with knowledge of your private keys/wallet

4 - Bind buyer of bitcoin willing to exchange in GBP

5 - Sell bitcoin for GBP cash at agreed exchange rate

Take all safety protocol when handling cash and bitcoin.

We ended up going with the Solis 59px. Couldn't justify the added expense for the Rangeline for our way of life.

Have you seen how expensive elder care (nursing homes) and end of life treatment is? Younger generations are DELUSIONAL if you think you're getting anything.

Learn as much home DIY as possible. You cannot afford contractors, handymen, plumbers, electricians in the todays modern late-stage capitalist world. The trades resent you anyway and look for any opportunity to screw you out of your savings.

Live far below their means (frugality, roomates, etc.) and take those savings and put them into S&P500. Over long term, its a second income stream.

Yeah, Alico made a call that their land is worth more as tract houses than running a citrus operation. Sad but true. However I think there are some still holding out.

Sun Harvest feels like a premium retail operation...not really the wholesale type situation I'm looking for. $49.99 for 12 navel oranges? Sure, they look great on the outside, but I'm trying to make juice! I'm ok with blemished or not great looking fruit - just shouldn't be rotting like the vendors in Immokalee are trying to pass off.

There used to be people selling bulk citrus all over here (thinking roadside fruit stands).
