You are so damn ignorant. Permanent residents have rights in this country. You don't just get to accept them bringing money and buying homes and then tell them to get lost because they want to exercise their rights. This country is quickly going to hell, and people like you are in the driver's seat.
I like how they say it will be floating or flexible and can go up or down. Nope, it will only go down. If the central bank removes the peg, we will be extremely luck to get $0.60USD for each of our dollar, and will more likely be looking at $0.40USD to $1.00BSD. It would absolutely decimate any savings of Bahamians and cause prices to skyrocket as everything we buy is imported and almost all of those imports are purchased with USD. We will lose all of our purchasing power.
I hope people take this projection seriously. Fall of 2017 is still an aggressive timetable to get Baha Mar opened. No more of this 'dead good news soon'. We have to come to terms with the fact that this hotel will not open for a very long time.

You're right Birdie, he did show bad judgement, he chose to invest money in the Bahamas. That was by far his worst decision in this whole mess.
