This may actually drive out everyone except Commonwealth, BoB and Fidelity -- and maybe even Fidelity. They were quick to ditch Money Gram to insure KYC/AML compliance.
Too late. All the beaches and hilltops are gone. And if they are seized back like the PLP did to Baha Mar, then Bahamians will be eating pigeons and coconut. And after those "resources" are all gone, the intense de-population of New Providence will create a fresh slate.
And I don't believe in shunning the PLP trolls. The trolls have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape within the walls of their mental prisons. If they know nothing of victory and enlightenment, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet. As do the severely mentally retarded. The nice thing about not partaking of the knowledge and enlightenment of the world, is that you have no cognitive dissonance and you are happy with mediocrity.
The reason that cruise ships visit the Bahamas, is that once they get past the territorial limit of the US, and are in international waters, they can operate a casino, sell duty free and all sorts of stuff not being bound by territorial US federal and state laws.
And it is true, that tourists and FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) are the major portion of the economy. Without them, the economy would be less than 1/3 of what it is now. That is common sense.
