"....has proposed a targeted crackdown on tax evasion as the primary solution to the country’s fiscal challenges, arguing that this approach is more effective than imposing additional burdens on the middle class." 👆 He must have read my posts on the topic on DR1 😄🫢....de nada ! Nuff said 🫢🫢.

"He said the government would instead focus on making necessary adjustments to meet its goals of reducing reliance on external debt and enhancing its ability to address social issues." There it is ! 👆 My theory is that they read my last post on this topic on DR1 saw the sense in it and decided...

" ...outlined the proposed Tax Modernization Law aimed at securing an additional RD$122 billion in funding for social spending, security transportation and other infrastructure projects" All well and good ..but ... Mexico, 🇲🇽in the early 2000s, created the CFDI (Comprobante Fiscal Digital por...

Now, I don't care about anyone's opinions on this forum, nor do I usually comment on such topics. But I will leave this here : "These Haitians came here to work because there were jobs, and they filled a lot of jobs," Republican Ohio Governor Mike DeWine told CBS News in an interview on...

Apparently, it’s more sophisticated than just scam phone calls these days. You need to be more careful than merely blocking calls. If you are receiving calls from scammers, ask yourself how they got your information in the first place. There are people who gather your details from public...

The kids used to love the Wendy's in PC, the one near the airport, especially since we don't have a McDonald's here. Many times, a trip to Wendy's was the family solution—whether it was bribing or rewarding the kids for good grades at school, during COVID when no one wanted to cook, or just for...

👆Exactly. The same goes for the new-ish one in Punta Cana. It looks new, shiny, and well-presented on the outside, with features like a kids' play area, and their Instagram makes the food look appetizing. However, as with many places in the DR, 'all that glitters isn’t gold' . The food is...

Add to that.... free entry and membership to our gym .....anytime.💪🏋️😁 We have been fans of hers for a long time, way before anyone believed she could do it, with numerous IG and some DR1 posts to prove it. Also, add to that .....the $250k USD that someone on IG mentioned gold medal athletes...

Vamos!!! 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴... If IG is to be believed, the DR has the highest payout for gold medalists in Latin American countries 😳🤔... around $250k... higher than the US, Mexico, and Brazil if you believe IG.🤔

That last part . In the DR, most locals who are susceptible to scabies have probably figured out what it is and how to treat and avoid it. Otherwise, you'd see people everywhere walking around itching and scratching. When foreigners, who are not used to it or have never heard of it, get...

It’s a common misconception to associate scabies solely with poverty. In the DR, we've seen scabies affect anyone, regardless of socioeconomic status. While poor living conditions and overcrowding can increase the risk of scabies, the mites usually spread through close physical contact, so...

All of the above. Scabies is a nightmare, but fortunately, you can get remedies over the counter in the DR. There was an outbreak in our gym some years ago—long story—but permethrin, the 5% lotion and shampoo, works best. Don’t waste your money on the 1% permethrin; DR scabies is too strong for...

That,👆.... along with the 4-in-1 TDS Meter Digital Water Tester and boiling, seems to do the trick according to our doctor friend. If the tester turns green, then filter and boil, and you should be okay. If the tester is red, like it is for tap water here, we don't even bother. But if you are...

Hmm... where is Haiti 🇭🇹 on the list?🤔 ... probably too dangerous to find out how dangerous it is.😬😬😁 Wait... what? Bradford 🇬🇧? 😳 More dangerous than Mexico City 🇲🇽, Bogotá 🇨🇴, and Campinas 🇧🇷? 😁 Bloomin' 'eck 🇬🇧! The Bradford Massive and Heavies would be so proud... 😆 iykyk.

They are the sensible ones... One of our employees won three years ago. She didn't even bother to call in to resign or anything 😳... just ... gone! Last I heard, she was in Chile with her family... doing podcasts and IG all day... long story. We don't play the lottery, but if we did win and...
