Guyana is one of those countries where you have super wealthy folk and just people trying to survive. Most of the Guyanese that made it lived abroad and built second homes from their US earnings. Those that are trying to survive depend on family abroad. I like Guyana cause its untouched so far with natural beauty. George Town is like POS 40 years ago. Guyana is very basic and very third world it resembles parts of African . Across the river and you in another world with a very country lifestyle. Always planned to reach the Brazilian border via Guyana but Corvid came along.elec2020 wrote:^ thats the thing.

If you want gold Guyana is the place for it Super cheap gold at 14k and 18k . 24k they sell at world prices. Just go the mining towns and you get the deals. No middle men to bump the prices up.

He has gestated no new foreign revenue streams, without which there will be absolutely no recovery. Can our economy revive under such abysmal leadership even if we survive the pandemic? This nation is being undone.
At the meeting Rowley also took aim at some commentators speaking about diversification.
"You always hearing about diversification, diversification. It's an annoying word. Because some people are still making $25 a week writing in newspapers and writing columns about diversification. Annoying. When you ask them 'diversify into what' they can't tell you. What would you do to diversify the economy, especially if you abandon the energy sector? They can't tell you. But they on television, they on radio, they on newspapers - diversification. Let me tell you what our diversification is. Our diversification is to find the things we can do and just do them."
He said one of the areas being looked at was tourism via the 800-room Sandals resort project in Tobago.
"All this questioning about 'what you going to give them' and 'what you going to get' and 'when you going to do it' coming from the pontificators who don't know their front from their elbow and those are the people who are trying to harass you when the day come into difficult circumstances. We are trying to lead you into the light; them turning down your bulb."
He said Government would be using the same model as with the Hilton and Hyatt where Government would build the resort and it would have the Sandals label.

Rowley fed up pontificate on several diversification streams. International brand hotel in Tobago, a success throughout the Caribbean, UNC and PDP boast that they scuttled Sandals https://newsday.co.tt/2019/01/16/kamla-sandals-withdrawal-is-good-news/ but an integrated Canadian company was coming for Magdelena but covid-19 happened. Comfort Suites still constructing but the new airport will draw more. The La Brea shipbuilding project got a partnership with China and was about to get off the ground. Likewise, a new eteck park has the new FDI that Maraj says doesn't exist.
Since Oct 2015 Maraj predicting doom and gloom for T&T. That is why I like to cite international observers to move away from the local bias.

Please for the love of truth, produce anything that could valid this claim other than the vacuum of your head.

Make a new thread on this topic. Not just a forex business but any business in general.SuperiorMan wrote:Tuner Friends,
Do you all think it would be a stupid idea to start a business that depends on foreign exchange now in Trinidad?
Let's say something healthcare/medical related.

You need to relax and stop allowing yourself to get so riled up you post nonsense.
The point is Maraj said that there has been no effort in diversification and that is not true. Don't try to divert into other topics, accusing me that I don't really know about the main topic when it is demonstratively evident that it is you who don't know about your own diversion.

You lied.
There was no tower in POS, there was no police station or 24hr patrol.
You just invented these things out of whole cloth to defend the UNC. Kirk Meighoo would be proud.
Stop lying and talking nonsense to defend UNC politicans. It is one thing if you were talk sense, but you are not. And you are getting vex when ppl point it out.

You're really sad and sickening, your actual argument is location of the corruption wasn't correctly stated?
Really?

My argument is what I brought up.
You created a fictitious project and want to argue the finer points of it. I will not.
