so after the susidy is removed we can expect diesel to be $6.01 ?

[maj. tom]

And for it to be the quality of the diesel sold in EU. Of course.

[MaxPower]

Is it that UNC supporters are actually toting because the budget was not bad as expected?

Its like they wanted the PNM to make a total mess of it but they actually didnt?

Really pathetic.

Get to work Trinis.

Baby steps to pacify the dumb people that voted for this arse wipe of a goverment .

They did it with Gas prices by increasing every year. Brakes are off on Gas and then will come TTEC & Wasa

Wait till next year for more taxes to come.

Why you think they don't want you to access US $, cause they prefer you to have money to pay their taxes.

Red goverment voters are totally clueless and stupid.

Take bull

[paid_influencer]

once the gas stations have been sold, buckle up. the private owners are going to raise prices and every week the prices will go up

[MaxPower]

Trinis ass too happy...

They will just pay it and say nothing.

They are coming to take your house and land.


You will spend so much money in gas and food, and trying to educate your kids, that you will have nothing left to pay their tax.

gas alone ? how come nobody in a chamber of commerce, no opposition MP, no media person asking how floating gas price will affect taxi fare, delivery of goods which affects prices example if gas goes up from january 2021 as it is still winter in the north will transport price increase for taxi and goods ? when in the summer gas price drop will transport price go down ? will taxi's get meters? will a short drop still be $5 today and $8 in the later half of the year and $2 in the hot months ?

y is it 4 local mango is $20 and 10 apple for $20 ? apple an grapes is not luxury items, what he feel it is 1982 ? apple and grapes is the cheaper fruits, he raise cigarette prices and say it to expensive to treat a smoker and yet increase the price of fruits. this short mc real dotish yes and no fuqin person saying no one mc they only studying the racket men in the bamboo.

The answer is not likely to be that simple. That website aggregates the retail price of fuel which includes taxes and subsidies in each country.

You will need to look at the rack price (delivered wholesale price) instead.

The current rack price for midgrade in the southern US is about US$1.40/gal or TT$2.50 per liter.

Add retail markup and import fees from there.

there is a reason that island finance and jmmb are expanding so rapidly

they see a market, and respond to it

[bluefete]

[zoom rader]

Where is redman and elite to defend ^^^

[Redman]

What you want to discus to day ZR?

[Redress10]

I still agree that most subsidies should be removed. Trinis have been spoilt with subsidies for political gain and it has made people become dependent and ineffecient.

[redmanjp]

Opposition response

[death365]

Btw for those thinking trini only have 1 budget ah year... Think again

Mid year review =budget #2 April 2021.

[maj. tom]

What is the point of an Opposition response to the Budget in this country? Is the Government going to make any changes based on their recommendations? The current Minister of Finance knows everything in the field anyway, so how debating the budget making any difference? Anyone even listening to what Kamla has to say? Even if she makes valid points, again what is the point?

I'd like to know this too... is it for show or just to say it happened? Can change be invoked from the response?

[redmanjp]

^maybe dey might think about implementing changes for the mid year review

[MaxPower]

No one cares what Kamla has to say.

We, the once die hard UNC supporters and just not interested in anything that she has to say.

Kamla must go.

But for now, i am in full support of the PNM.

[Dizzy28]

The budget needs to pass a vote in Parliament and be the Finance Act for that respective year. The opposition has to have a say as with any other bill.

[88sins]

^maybe dey might think about implementing changes for the mid year review

the albino leprechaun with a head that resembles a rotten breadfruit will implement changes.
But don't worry, those changes won't deviate from the norm of not being of any meaningful benefit to the public.

Is time to support local business. Time to know that of you know someone who support pnm that you not hire them. Let's one of their own hire them. Time for charity to support your own. None of this " impoverished pnm area nonsense. We all know that money got sent to those areas before election

Slim,

Local businesses need to improve their customer service as it is currently stink.

Thanks to the Venezuelan community and their better, not best eh, better work etiquette over locals we have some improvement.

But do not feel because of “hard times” that we, the service demanding public will just throw ourselves at the feet on local businesses. Many of us are prepared to pay almost double elsewhere just for better service and product quality. It have no favors here.

Local businesses must improve.

Talk to them Slim.

I'd say it's time we start supporting local everything as much as humanly possible, and try to get away from being so highly dependent upon imported food and goods as much as we can and revert to simpler living. I admit, there's some things we can't do much about, and that it may not be ideal for a lot of people and financially difficult in the immediate term, but with a little bit better management and input from the state this is something we can do.
I can't advocate for people avoiding spending depending on any particular communities location due to perceived political ties, that could cause an escalation of our tribal politics problem down the road.
