All good if they are actually easy and user-friendly for people to access and use. And if they can keep them up and actually working…unlike the last 2 iterations of the Real Property Tax portals.
So this is tragic and condolences to the family. However I have to wonder, although the article says he “was an experienced diver” that does not mean he had any actual training in diving with compressed air, the dive tables or the signs of compression sickness. Secondly, can 16 year olds even get a license that allows them to dive and hunt using a compressor? I know that when we first got the Hyperbaric recompression chamber in Lyford Cay that 99% of the cases of “bends” that were sent to it were “ experienced commercial “ divers who had almost no training about dive tables. Apparently it is not functional now.

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.
