Everyone is doing their part except banks, insurance, utilities

[abducted]

People are going with out work, without salary, without being able to run their business, without income, but the banks, insurance and bills still have to be paid on time and in most cases with penalties for late payment, the banks offer deferrals but with higher interest, which means they make more money in the long run, same with insurance companies, Digicel charges a late fee on bill payment, there is no legislation to help that situation

[hover11]

It is a FREE market , government has little influence on what private entities can do , hard fact, you are subject to businessmen having mercy towards the public, that doesn't help with their bottom line unfortunately so that's none of their concern

We are in a state of emergency, regular laws can be altered, that is why the Government can say who can operate their business and who cannot, the Attorney General can legislate that banks and money lenders, hire purchase etc defer mortgage and loan payments for one month to the end of the loan term without additional interest, this will ease the load on citizens tremendously while they cannot receive a salary, interest on bill payments for the SOE can be removed

[daring dragoon]

business , money, profit dont bother about anything, they dont die from covid, if the employee dies 10 more waiting to take their place, if a customer dies or unable to pay they have millions in bad debt insurance ready to right off to cover the cost. it is up to the consumer to decide who they going to give their business to after seeing how ruthless business can be.
which supermarket gave out hampers to the affected covid citizens ? and who did not?
which bank suspended loan and CC payments ? and who did not?
which taxi man raise fare and who didnt ?

this pandemic will end some time but who you going to give your hard earned money to come month end?

Trinis are to blame

The irresponsibility of Trinis put the banks and Govt etc in this position.

Trinis cannot want to keep playing the ass and expect everyone to just drop everything and accommodate them.

I remember clearly the Govt gave the population a chance since last year to be responsible or else….no one listened and they want to complain and criticize everyone else for a problem they started.

ALL Trinis had/have to do is follow the Covid 19 guidelines.

But sure, blame everyone else.

You hush your 3rd world mentality MC.
Every single thread is always a "trini fault" post and "it good for them"

You could look and talk down on trini how much you want but just know when you dead its a trini who gonna pick up your dead decomposing body, carry it in the morgue, autopsy most likely performed by a trini, local funeral home employees will prepare your useless body, trinis will cremate or dig the hole for you to go in.
You living in a delusional world of your own thinking you don't need to depend on a trini.
Feel empowered and hide behind your little tuner account. You dare not come outside and tell a trini those things in his face.

If you so hate trinis jump on a plane with your boyfriend tuner "Wing" and get the ph uck out of here. You will not be missed you chupid loser..

[viedcht]

Big Business don't care. Besides, they probably nose deep in the red and the big shots ain't going to dip in their own pockets because they give we ah bligh. Yuh know hummuch all dat equipment and software costing?

Even the small business them hadda mark up after all this covid ting for all de profit dem lorse. Trini business people overall don't like to take a hit. Most rarely do.

That offer only makes more money for the bank, the customer ends up paying more in the long run, and the banks know it, that's taking advantage of the situation, I'm not trying to use something and not pay for it, I'm saying everyone is sacrificing except some

[Country_Bookie]

We're seeing 1 side of things from the point of view of consumers of these services. However, it's not so easy for these businesses to just give their customers a bligh and forego their revenue. What happens when they make losses and go out of business? This then affects all their customers and employees.

Like I said, it's easy for us to see things from our perspective but these business have a lot of different factors to consider.

I disagree, they aren't losing these customers, merely jus taking a slight hit. They might actually win some customer loyalty out of it too.

But the issue is that upper management and the C-level work with yearly goals in mind - make X% profit or don't get your yearly bonus. Everyone's bonus is tied to performance so unless they get board approval to change (which will upset shareholders) their objectives, then there's no incentive for them so give customers a bligh.

If government policy dictates that they do, then it would be done. Government can step in here.

You and all out of touch with reality, lots of people live paycheck to paycheck, not because they want to but because they ain't got a choice. Life is expensive.

How are many of these people supposed to have savings now when for the last 15 months a pandemic has killed whole sectors of the economy.

I'd support your stances if this was April last year, but come nah man. I know so much ppl who haven't had steady work for the whole year.

Study who collapsed the entire Venezuelan economy and society, that occurred years prior to COVID-19 and caused this country and its citizens it's currentl situation before spouting that manure please.

If they using current they pay for it.
If they have a problem with the WASA bill then request a meter.
Internet service is a facility. I am sure the sysadmins for the businesses do not want their servers to experience downtime so the internet is being used.

What can the government do in this case? The last thing the government should do is further their grip on the utilities. That would make our already precariously positioned utility providers to be in an even worse place.

Ok, so we have established that you are one of those Trinis who refuse to follow the Covid 19 guidelines.

Its pathetic Trinis as yourself is the reason why we have all these restrictions inconveniencing those who do the right thing.

And if you feel i dare not tell a Trini or anyone anything in their face, well you sit your suffering little duncey head there and feel so.

So again, its Trinis fault and Trinis fault again. Why can’t you and the other dummies at least try to do the right thing and not be a laughing stock in the Caribbean. Aren’t you ashamed of the numbers? Aren’t you fed up blaming others while your dumb ass does makes the situation worse?

Stfu and wear your mask, wash your hands and social distance rather than TOTING over my posts.

Trinis need work, Trinis must do better and you are too ignorant to admit that.

Run along now.

Hungry dog turn round bite yuh eh.

Be careful what you wish for.
Because if you didn't know, by the time the big boys now getting touch up you might already be in a situation where your balls in a vise and it have a pole up yuh tailpipe. Meaning, when the shtf, is the poor people who does get touch up first, and most don't survive.


Everyone has to do their part, however small or large that part may be. Because you don't want yourself or your loved ones to have to go thru the stress and xp of dying of the virus or surviving only to suffer the long term physiological effects.
