you don't want to be owned neither by Chinese (have you heard of Tibet?), the U.S. (worked in a sweatshop in Guam?), Russia, Qatar (feel like being a slave again), nor anybody else. This has nothing to do with Christie or Ingraham, it is short term greed and certainly not long term vision.
of course. all are guilty. you cant make money by booking the crooks if the crooks are paying your bills. and the corruption in this country is the base for all the crime. drugs, web shops, the petty corruption at the DMV, the big corruption involving Bimini, SLS etc. So a long long time ago the political class has decided to "join them" rather than "fight them".
I am thankful of the press and social media. it keeps the bozos' in charge honest and at least requires them to respond to allegations whether true or not.
its just a sign of the shrinking economy. To me it is telling that RBC closes the bank at PI. I mean I could see them closing a branch in the boonies, but PI? With all the tourists exchanging USD/EUR to BSD? Workers depositing their salaries?
ah, he was out of the stagelight lately. Welcome back. Couldn't stomach being not in the public's eye? So here is how 99% of the developed world countries work: 1. get the job done and 2. communicate after, unless you need more funds allocated by the Parliament to get the task done. Here in the Bahamas, it is all talk, and talk and talk. Nothing will happen.

yes that is what the Chinese are doing. USD has tons of hidden inflation, Remninbi has open inflation. I 100% agree with you.
