It is not a lie. Plenty of vacationers bring in lots of food from home with them, even if they are only staying for a week. They bring steaks, hamburger meat, pork, deer etc. Plus ordinary stuff, like peanut butter,oatmeal,coffee, brownie or cake mix, powdered potatoes etc. Its bizarre.
I seem to remember this fish and shrimp farming was tried in Nassau…the shrimp were good. And I think somewhere in the Berrys also back in the 70s or 80s maybe?
And yet here you are advocating exactly what you oppose, that "Your mother should have dismembered you limb by limb and then sucked your remains out of her womb with a vacuum cleaner". Your hypocrisy is stunningly obvious.
I question some of these statistics. First off, between an almost completely dysfunctional postal system and the fact the Real Property Tax online portal has been buggy for years and is now completely broken it is no surprise that large numbers of residential and business properties are in arrears. As for foreigners being the largest group of residential accounts in arrears, I find that hard to believe, especially those in the family islands. Of course if you can’t even receive your tax-bill or pay for it from your home country because the online system and postal systems are non-functional whose fault is that.
Considering the very numerous times I've either heard people going on about the inability to register or pay online and the huge number of times over the past 6-7 years that I have spent hours helping people to register their properties and setup accounts at the RPT online portal it would be a good start if Inland Revenue would get the RPT online website and payment pages back up and actually usable. They have been problematic and fully down for most of the past two years. Pretty hard to pay your taxes when the system keeps giving error codes. The other problem is the whole process to setup an account and get registered into the system is very opaque. Then lets talk about the fact that when changes or updates are made there are no warnings that they are or have been made plus no instructions on how to implement said changes.
Rubbish….Florida at the moment has the 14th highest per capita case rate of all US states. Case rates fluctuate week to week and that lowest rate for Florida was for 1 very specific week.
This man is not only tone-deaf but he is clueless about how the average person in this country has to operate. And he is also intentionally ignoring how sketchy and unreliable our internet, digital/cellular and electrical infrastructure is. Anybody remember when the whole cell/digital system went completely down throughout the whole country for almost 24 hrs??
Pretty sure that Europe,Canada and the US have not approved the Chinese vaccine…so good luck trying to go to any of those countries if that is what you get vaccinated with.
