there are solutions. in extraordinary times such as these, u should price control some things, that the masses use, not only to benefit the people but to control inflation, as it would cycle tru the whole economy.

but, people need to feel the error of their voting habits.
bad thing is, the big businessmen gonna be getting a lot of opportunities during this time, as govt and people default on projects and the financiers waiting like cobo .


this thing only really supposed to last a year or so. but its on the heels of the plandemic, which was supposed to last a year or so, and now we have monkey pox.

Rations cards like during WWII may return once essential things get scarce and then the government has to regulate supply, but not yet. So far it's increased cost that is largely due to the global supply factors and shipping, not limited to just this country. But harder times are ahead for the food supply and will get worse for a few years. One day there may not be enough wheat and grain to import to meet typical demand and then they will be forced to ration it to the population.

Ah feeling for doubles tomorrow. Anyone has been to the Doubles Man to see if they increased their prices since the recent flour increase?

Yes. Bananas = Banana Republic = Some disenfranchised African (or Central American) nation = People of Color = Racism.

And pumpernickel bread vs white bread etc.


No mater what the price for flour the sky will not fall .

We do not need flour in our diets . Peeps need more fruits and vegetables .

Since there was no bread and cakes etc. in the Garden of Eden .

The LFD RFD PNM, along with their brain dead supporters, made a mountain of a molehill with a UNC ad where a fig was given to black children in the last GE. As usual, LFD RFD PNM chupidees went for it hook, line and sinker, and some of these fools, still saying it to this day.

you know what you call this? this is an excuse or a plaster on a sore, because flour gone up we dont need flour, so i guess we dont need kfc or chicken or bread or biscuits or car gas or car parts because all of these gone up within the last 2 months. only excuses and no positive solutions on keeping the prices down

Who more dotish PNM for capitalizing on a badly conceived campaign with poor imagery or UNC for shooting themselves in the foot via Rodney Charles concepts? Politics is optics.
Anyway this is off topic.

Saw a man on my road who has a three tonne truck siphoning what looked like cooking oil into kegs on Wednesday. There was a massive white collapsible bag in the truck which I assume is how it's shipped. It was fairly flat but there were at least 10 filled kegs and maybe ten more empty ones. Maybe he gonna retail loose oil.

Chicken gone up, flour gone up, oil gone up... Fry chicken is gormet food. (I say it like it spelt)

Was always more a provision person, flour was infrequent any ways....


Trini need to eat more healthy. But veggies way expensive.
Poor trini habits should not excuse pnm mismanagement.

It was $6 for awhile now since the last Flour increase. I guess those people were selling it cheaper all this time and finally decided to increase price with the new Flour increase.

Which means that even at 5 dollars they were still making a profit when everyone was selling for 6 dollars. If anyone raises it for more than such now is due to greed.

Some. A few were still selling their stuff $5.00 up till Friday. South usually have better prices, maybe to be competitive . Remember inconsistency is because every cook different. Even kfc inconsistent.
