Honestly the only way to beat high global prices is for trinis to become more productive and effecient etc.

If high gas prices cause increase of work from home and other remote working capabilities then I'm all for it. Means less traffick and less money literally being burnt as fuel.

when diesel goes up by what being projected, those distributors gonna skyrocket the cost of goods by the pallet by an unfair amount and use the justification that DIESEL went up so they have to pay like 100$ more per tank which making so much trips...
and allyuh gonna blame groceries for the real high prices but they just getting bull by the 1% distributors. this happened years ago when red govt raise diesel and them distributors send new price lists to groceries.

but yeah --- frothers who calling to remove the subsidies -- allyuh is experts and living life nice in govt handout wok.

Subsidy headache

Rowley said if government removes the subsidy, premium gasoline would go from $5.75 per litre to $7.58, super gasoline would go from $4.97 to $7.46 per litre, and diesel from $3.71 to $6.58 per litre.

https://newsday.co.tt/2022/03/09/pm-bra ... rice-hike/

That's a 30% increase in Premium
50% increase in Super
nearly 80% increase in Diesel

Yeh boi std

Doh fixate on one thing pa, it’s just an example as Jason said for the priorities of Trinis.

Check all the bars, zesser parties and groceries etc in full swing.

The rel rel poor man will suffer, but unfortunately they suffering from Day 1. Start to worry when ppl start dying from starvation, until then, take a good look at how society pumping.

Btw i not seeing the nation protesting for high food and gas prices. I eh see the nation protest when we had all the restrictions in the pandemic. What it is really going on?

But the ppl have no water and they protesting. They not dying of thirst but they out and about burning shiet and polluting the environment.

The road in a state and the people carrying on like some wajang.

Shoot a blackman in or out of T&T and the Trini BLM gone wild.

People had their protest for the Angela and the divers etc…..but WHERE is the protest for food and gas? 10 people making a set of old noise walking around in a circle waving a banner not making any sense.

What it is really going on??

Nope that's just salinity talking, Tribe combined is about what? 15000 masqueraders? All bands in T&T might make up 4% of the population and all participants in Carnival might be 15-17% of the population, yet that's enough to generalise on what policies should be and the impact on the entire country? Nah you just salty AF

With this logic admin,

You agree that the government should baby the population with subsidies and continue this dependency syndrome ? The fact is like Max always says, we too dam happy, we don't know the full price of anything because the government always paying part of it, be it gas, electricity or even down to water. What in God's green Earth do trinis really pay full price for? Yet we have money for the most frivolous of things, as I said, probably we need a wake up call and the elimination of the fuel subsidy to set our priorities straight.....a culture shock is needed, we are NOT a welfare state

You are correct you can do what you want with your money but get it through your thick skull, the government's job is NOT to fund your gas, electricity or water bill. If you can buy a car for hundreds of thousands of dollars why you can't pay your full gas bill, you want the government to help pay your gas bill too. Yet you call others sufferers.... how ironic

Ok and the ppl you referring to, beating up on dead and gone is we to catch now. The fact is the subsidy has to go , you realize we at a point soon where is either we pay pensions or keep a fuel subsidy, what do you think the government of the day will do. You working bro, you're an adult , budget and allocate for your expenses accordingly.

At least I know subsidies do more harm than good and only create a sense of entitlement, like what everyone expecting here. Imagine ppl vex cuz the government telling them to pay the full price for YOUR fuel to fill YOUR tank for YOUR vehicle

Wrong answer.
A Subsidy is considered a failure if it does not benefit the overall economy, if this subsidy was applied to farming for example where we benefit from growing our own food thus heavily reducing our import bill then I can see the advantage however it is not that, it is simply the government allocating money every year for our fuel consumption for big boys to flam their range rovers and prados
