St. Maarten Private Eye

From the e-mails I get from some rich American friends they have had it with the potholes, garbage, roads, lack of hospitality, etc, etc.

I just wonder who in the world are going to buy into those those new developments, Indigo Bay, Red Pond, Gibbs Bay, etc. If you go to the tourist sections of the Chicago Sun Times, USA Today and MSNBC there are all types of negative publicity overexaggerating (I suppose) that we are all contaminated with TB and Dengue Fever and that we are appealing to broke ass dicks that take 5 years of savings to finally get to the Island, but once here barely have any money to add to our economy and then there is the cheap ass Carnival Cruise Line passenger that rushes back to the cruise ship for Lunch . In other words the rich do not want to be hanging out with Low Lifes, which seems to be the group that we are appealing to. NOT THE WEALTHY. I remember four or five years ago sales reps that I know that work at the jewelry use to brag about having a client that purchased a 5 carat diamond ring, lately there have been no celebrations because the commission on a 1/4 carat is nothing to celebrate about.

There is even talk that any Sint Maartener traveling to the states will need a certificate of health stating that he or she does not have T.B. or Dengue Fever.

Sad, sad
