this saga demands investigation to determine how the Authority has come to be in this position. you can drive from Miami to Orlando on the turnpike for $20 - $30, a distance of more than 250 miles, and now potentially you could be looking at $3 plus to go 200 meters across the harbour? tell me it aint so..
there is some merit to what he says, no doubt.. cheaper place for tourists if we devalue, but lower standard of living for most of us, since we will be unable to afford many things we have today that are all imported. so whats our choice to be? remember that some 'expert' recently opined that at most the B$ is worth 75 US cents...
just because you can do something e.g. display party loyalty, its probably not too smart in a small society like ours. Even in the USA, Trumpites are trying to discredit everything and everyone ever affiliated with Obama or Clinton. on the other hand, as i am aware, in the Bahamas an employer does not have to give any reason to cut you loose. its just the way it is..
so a seller is motivated and you get a good deal.. Inland people say we dont believe it.. only in the Bahamas is the burden of proving anything on the accused and not the accuser..
when times are good, people find jobs. conversely, if times aren't the best, some folks will lose their jobs. PLP dont believe in this basic fact, thats how in part we came to be $6.0 billion in debt. don't believe this is so, ask RBC, Barclays, City Markets and other folks who used to be employed and dont have jobs anymore..
as long as reliable intel comes in and if the DEA can supply info., then raid man, raid. this town needs some shaking up and the bandits need to know that justice can come from any direction and at any time..

OldFort might be right.. dont devalue, do away with the B$ and go with the greenback like Zimbabawe and Panama and TCI, etc.
