[sMASH]

F@ck the memes.Thats what have them feeling that the general population doesn't really care.Post serious stuff.This laugh at everything mentality has to stop

posting stuff dont do much niether... boots round the house that is red, is what would do the trick.

but ah man say, is only bout 200 people come out friday to protest the budget...

So you are saying that you accept lazy Leaders, that you accept the status quo let the politicians do as they please then so be it. That is why we have a weak minded population this is not the population of 1990. This is a timid population that allows the government to do as they please with no repercussions. So public servants lazy but the rest of the population like yourself weak minded

I am saying that those ppl because they play no part in my economic standing. I am not dependant on them to put food on the table. Why would I give them that much control over me? Why have you? In a world of almost 8 billion ppl have you ever earned forex in some shape or form? Have you ever sold a product on the international market?

so only the merchants are productive, by your definition.

the people that made the goods, fed the workers, built the factory, transported the raw materials, etc... all aren't productive because they don't directly earn forex, under your definition.

No but the merchants are creating economic activity that results in workers being fed, factory being built etc. Due to our country's history with colonialism, slavery and indentureship etc that responsibility now falls on the "government". But the people in government have no experience or background in mercantile. They are the descendants of the former slaves and indenture labourers. They don't know anything about mercantile yet the government is in control of 70% of the economy so everyone is looking at the government for the next dog and pony show but they honestly have no clue. This is an oil/gas country yet no one in government has ever owned a oil/gas company etc. Your energy minister is a lawyer.

You talking about economic activity do you know it is the role of the government to stimulate the economy, question,has the government done that in the past SEVEN years in office? The private sector generates little to nothing when it comes to GDP , fact remains if the government does not spend the private sector remains stagnant thus the economy slows down and comes to a complete halt.

According to what economic theory is it the government's role to generate economic activity? Hovie, you ever study economics? Most economic theories lean towards government having nothing more than a regulatory role/function in the economy of the country. This is due to the belief that the invisible hands of demand and supply would set the marker for everything. Instead government is viewed as bloated and inefficient. Which is what we have noticed with all of the various state companies that always seem to be in turmoil.

If the government needs to spend in order the incentivise the private sector then the private sector are not producing goods and services that are relevant. A good tasting cake will always sell out at the end of the day. The private sector operates on tenderpreneurship. Asks them which countries they actually export to and you will see for yourself. Asks them who is their biggest customer and 9 times out of 10 it is the government. Everybody sucking the state's tits and wondering why it starting to sag and hang.

Government could also generate economic activity by selling alot of those state companies to the private sector but employees such as yourself and the unions will fight against that too right?

Bro....you understand that we are a MIXED economy right, not a capitalist economy like that of the US where the government does not interfere in economic policies. The government has to intervene in our case. This is POB 101 not even university level econ. A form 1 could tell you that you talking garbage right now. They have to improve the efficiency of the economic system that's why we have a central bank to regulate the repo rates and try to control inflation.

Again, that mixed economy is government taking on a more regulatory role to ensure that competition takes place and no monopolies are formed. Why does a government need to own an airline for instance? The market already determines those sort of things. A government's role should be to provide relevant public goods that keep the economy going but don't cross over into private sector domain to mess with efficiency and profitability.

Becareful what you ask for because the same government can leave it to private gas stations to set their own prices as it is in America, say enough is enough and stop making losses on that because tbh the government does not have to pay for your fuel. There are no obligations there , lights and water is a basic commodity that everyone should have but gas is not

[Redress10]

Again, the problem is not the government. It is the amount of control that the government has over the population. Know the difference.

In all of those protests and marches. Do you ever see local whites, syrians, chinese etc protesting as well? So why isn't the policies of the government affecting them as well? Why is it only red and yellow supporters that always protesting? Doesn't that tel you that those ppl are removed from government policies that causing ppl to protest.

You know why? Those people are the owners of capital. They are not dependent on the government to provide anything. They hire their own private security meanwhile the rest are dependant on the police. They use private healthcare over public healthcare. Their children go to private schools so they don't need SEA. They also go foreign university over UWI. Food prices don't affect them because they can afford it and also, the owners of supermarkets would give them friendly discounts. They access forex because they have businesses throughout the caribbean that don't suffer from forex shortages like here in TT. Some of them even renting to government and government taking your tax money to pay them every month. Some of them even paving the roads in their community so don't even need the government for that. They are more or less unbothered at this point.

You all really need to wake up.

Well bro, if you can only afford things based on government subsidy then you honestly can't afford things. Based on your salary and earnings, how many things outside of trinidad can you actually afford? Can you afford to pay the us price for gasoline or rent? You keep forgetting that you are earning tt dollars whilst consuming products made with us dollars?

Clear example of how nothing affects some of those who are privileged in society.The role and function of any Gov't is to help a country progress. At the moment forget what garbage imbert feeding you , the country economic state is deterioting....time will tell how this situation unfolds

All this beat up and the syrian, venezuelan and chinese coming right here and going out on the road everyday to make a dollar and buy property. Meanwhile trinis like u sit down in office all day and then want to go and march for 10 percent wage increase because "the world needs employees". Then your children and grandchildren wanna know why "them people own everything" whilst they sit down in a gov't office doing nothing but watching time pass.

Keep waiting for gov't to improve your life and you will be kept waiting.

You know how Chinese achieved their wealth do you know how the syrians achieved their wealth, do you know what the Chinese mafia is , do you believe syrians made millions from selling "cloth"? Stop watching what other ppl have or what they doing. You have no CLUE what they did to achieve what they have today

Coal Pot is the best thing for BBQ. Enhances the flavors too. The Minister is right, time to invest in a good coalpot.

I don't know why Hoover needs a coalpot. He's been roasted over the coals by Redress all day.
