Like I said unless you are a fisherman. The other items you mention could be considered optional to many. Imagine if your car was now 700 dollars to register. I do agree though it is also to much for recreational users as well as that is the one past time most Bahamians use to escape and catch a break.

The Bahamas is a island nation and for many people who live on the smaller cays a small 20ft runabout is basically your car and main method of transportation to commute to a larger island. This is another one size fits all Nassau centric view that anyone who has a boat is loaded. It is not necessary to own a boat in Nassau unless your a fisherman. Seven hundred is too much for smaller boats when a basic car is about $200 a year?

Cashless society is dangerous on so many levels. Anyone who has been through a natural disaster like a hurricane etc. where the power is out, internet is out, cell phones not working know that for the days after and in some cases weeks or months that cash is king. Any kind of digital online banking does not work because it is not accessible. Cashless is so stupid and makes us so vulnerable for many reasons including personal freedom. Not to mention the banks make no money off a cash transaction and what 3-4 percent off of every cashless transaction? Is it any wonder the banks want this, where it costs them nothing and the computer does the work and they reap the rewards? It is almost like paying interest to buy something.

Never been physically robbed and know many people who have not. I do not know one person including myself who have not been a victim of what I call digital robbery. Digital bank robberies are so common it is not funny. If physical bank robberies werer as common as digital society would collapse. This mass march towards a cashless society is sinister.

Get this guy a one way ticket to Afghanistan.

If the law is so written that it is illegal for this 11 year old to have an abortion then it needs to be amended immediately. What a sick sad situation. If any 11 year old is pregnant then there was rape. It is called statutory rape there is no if ands or buts, someone is guilty.

And these the same people proclaiming all the time that we are a christian nation.

Yeah maybe the FNM can turn over the food they kept in Nassau that was suppose to go to Freeport and Abaco for hurricane relief. FNM PLP in general just another set of pockets for the consolidated fund to fill up.

Had a unlimited mobile plan (really 300gb) with aliv for 3 years. The most I would use is 30-70gb a month. Last December with no habit changes it used over 300gb and I was charged for two extensions above the 300gb on a post paid plan. No one can explain to me yet where the data went. Sorry very tech savy person here, and yes there is some weird stuff that goes on on their network.

Funny how no one cared for 30 years that the foreign home owners were exploiting Now with aibnb and etc. Bahamians can now rent their homes/rooms without the expense of websites and marketing its has come under so much scrutiny and needs to be "regulated".
