They did not switch until around the time of devaluation when for the first time the Jamaican dollar dropped in value BELOW the USD. Yes, up until 1978, the Jamaican dollar was worth MORE than the US $. Go ask yuh elders about that. I remember it fairly vividly.

RU serious?

Mi see man a walk round telling people seh dem a come move into dem house inna Greendale and Jago Heights back then. Whether official policy from the top or not, that was the message absorbed on the street and people were making preps to act on that message.

Dont bother with the revisionism. Some of us LIVED thru it and dont have to guess, we KNOW.

I knew of rabid socialists preaching self reliance and holding strain against the forces of imperialism when we were having massive shortages on supermarket shelves. After elections in 1980 area thugs raided their house and all manner of groceries and farrin luxuries were found and "confiscated".

Do as I say, not as I do. Blinking hypocrites. Real animal farm.

Me nuh know who Karl trying to fool! I worked with Local Govt., I saw and lived it!

[MdmeX]

Les Birch, and Keeble Munn to add a few.

Add MP K. Rhodd to that list. He would have died, if him never get the visa. I say the man just took one of the "five flights a day", and has never looked back!

Larry Robertson mek sure to send his wife and daughter to the US!

[MdmeX]

Incidentally, Cllr. Robertson was a brown man PNP candidate; and there were several other high brown members in that party!

No Don, man and man not talking about the banks and the gatherers.

There was real industry that were caught up in the maelstrom and went down as they owed money to the banks at extortionary rates. They made plastics, industrial electrical equipment, metal boxes, food processing, food exporters etc, etc. The small and medium business got hit hard.
