NETFLIX KEEPS ‘LOVE IS BLIND’ FANS WAITING FOR LIVE REUNION

advising consumers.” Mr Wilson said the Government was seeking through its proposal to address the concerns of all petroleum industry participants, rather than just one side.

“It’s a very delicate situation,” he conceded. “Some retailers are under a lot of pressure; some more than others. The wholesalers have a huge fixed cost base, a lot of which they cannot pass on easily. They have to amortise that cost over a long period of time with their investments in stations, safety equipment and so forth.

“We also have to recognise this industry has a limited time horizon. As more electric vehicles come on stream, it can change very quickly and very drastically. We have to recognise that. The industry is changing before our eyes.” Sir Franklyn, meanwhile, said following Friday’s meeting that FOCOL executives are “crunching the numbers as we speak, I’m sure.

“I think people will analyse and think through what has been proposed, and we’ll see,” he added. “The meeting was long enough for people to hear what the Government is proposing, and long enough for people

LOVE isn’t patient, love isn’t kind — at least if you ask the fans of Netflix’s “Love Is Blind.” Viewers had to wait more than an hour to watch the Season 4 reunion special set to stream live Sunday — Netflix’s second-ever live event on its own platform.

“Love Is Blind: The Live Reunion,” hosted by Vanessa and Nick Lachey, was to stream from Los Angeles starting at 5 p.m. Pacific. Netflix subscribers were able to join a waiting room for the show 10 minutes before the start time — and those who did were still there an hour later. The show finally started airing — seemingly live — at around

If to digest it properly. There’s some significant new ideas, let’s put it that way; significant new ideas.

“Obviously someone did some thinking. They didn’t pick these ideas out of a hat. Someone did some thinking. It’s new ideas, let’s put it that way. People have to analyse and have got to deal with it.”

The last margin increase enjoyed by gas station operators occurred in 2011, some 12 years ago, under the last Ingraham administration, and operating costs and inflationary pressures have increased substantially then. That took gasoline margins from 44 cents per gallon to 54 cents, where it has remained ever since, while diesel stands at 34 cents per gallon.

Gas station operators have been seeking a margin increase equal to 7 percent of the landed cost of fuel as their equivalent of a livable wage, viewing this as critical to their survival given that existing price-controlled fixed margins simply cannot be adjusted to cover a multitude of ever-increasing costs.

Listing the ever-rising costs that fixed gasoline and diesel margins must absorb, the BPRA’s Mr

6:16 p.m. Pacific, although some Netflix users still reported difficulties accessing the content.

“We are sorry we’re late,” Vanessa Lachey said, the sole acknowledgment of the delay at the top of the broadcast.

“To everyone who stayed up late, woke up early, gave up their Sunday afternoon… we are incredibly sorry that the Love is Blind Live Reunion did not turn out as we had planned,” Netflix tweeted at 6:29 p.m. Pacific.

“We’re filming it now and we’ll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible. Again, thank you and sorry.”

A request for comment from Netflix was not immediately returned. Netflix’s first live streaming event, “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage,” did not feature any apparent technical difficulties. On Twitter, Netflix had acknowledged the delay without offering explanation. At two minutes past the initial start time, it promised the special would be in on in 15 minutes. Seven minutes later, the company tweeted: “Promise #LoveIsBlindLIVE will be worth the wait....” along with a picture of one of the season’s “villains.” The last activity from the account was a retweet of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez making a joke about the delay. With the original end time of the special approaching, nothing had been posted since — and it remained that way even once the show started airing for some, until the apology tweet.

Jones previously pointed to the 2-3 percent “commission” or fees charged on every debit and credit card payment. On a $6 gallon of gasoline, the 3 percent charge amounts to 18 cents or one-third of the 54 cent margin, although this might be slightly less depending on the issuing bank.

With The Bahamas still largely a cash-based economy, he added that some gas station operators are being charged between $4,000 to $10,000 a month to deposit cash. With banks unwilling to accept such deposits over the counter, the industry is now incurring fees for doing this via the night deposit box.

And, with many of the petroleum industry’s 1,000plus employees earning the minimum wage, Mr Jones said their has increased by 24 percent or $50 per week due to the increase. While not opposed to the rise, he added that this has increased payroll costs for gas stations while also raising associated National Insurance Board (NIB) contributions. Insurance costs have also risen by 15 percent.
