The IMF should come in and reform this banana republic, would lead to living standards soaring as their involvement in Jamaica has done
Yes a loss of sovereignty - but not for the people of the Bahamas who remain the slaves of the white knights and the monopolies they operate. Food prices at 3 or 4 times Miami retail prices that cripple every Bahamian family and which based on shipping and duty costs should be at most 1.5 times Miami retail prices. But despite crippling every Bahamian family food costs are a taboo subject that not a single Bahamas MP dare mention. Clearly those that operate the stores and who are skimming $200m to $400m per year from poor families have plenty of means to 'persuade' MPs to keep their mouths shut and let the situation continue
These people will see the island in rubble before they allow outsiders like the IMF to come in and shut down their racket
And if the IMF did come in and open the way for the likes of Walmart to come here, despite them being forced to hire Bahamian workers, and despite their far lower prices transforming the lives of ordinary Bahamians, the moronic cries of 'foreign companies coming to our island' would be screamed by the brainwashed masses, well conditioned by the political class to protect their vested interests
The most positive prognosis is that the American government, seeing the mess that this situation may become, for the Bahamas and its neighbors, and the opening it would present to China and other foreign and malign interests, tells the Bahamas they take the IMF or else - or else they shut this country down as they can in 15 minutes by closing our air space and shipping access to the US
It is high time the Bahamas stopped being a banana republic and realised the potential it has given its natural beauty and location just off the coast of Florida. It should be a Singapore....not slowly becoming a northern Haiti
