Taste of Carnival 2022

[zoom rader]

Covid has proven that Trinidad does not need Carnival.

[De Dragon]

In the camp where i'll be getting away for sure. Not in the mood for music trucks parking up on my street to "test".

Probably will go toco or mayaro. Maybe i'll put those caribbean miles that i gained over the pandemic to good use and go up the islands. Accepting suggestions for getaways.

Why yuh eh stay fuh de "experience?" It seems to be edgelordy

[timelapse]

OK so what's the beef with carnival and those who choose to partake?

My observations are most of them who cry to "ban carnival" are social outcast edgelords who also too ashamed of themselves to consider being seen in public with a shirt off.

Whats the difference with choosing to partake in mas or doing anything else for the same or lesser satisfaction with the same money?

If carnival folks were responsible in their activities, no problem.

My issues:
Increased thefts/robberies to fund the activities of some.

Government spending my money to promote something that does not benefit the populace.
Increased illegitimate children and abandonment of such children by their fathers, perpetuating the poverty trap.

Perception of foreign investment in the country.Outside of the country, we are mostly known for carnival and cricket.We don't market our investment opportunities as aggressively that would potentially boost local production.

Wastage of plastics and other non-renewable materials.

Littering.I don't need to explain this.

Increased alcohol related deaths on the roadways.

Thats just some.

By this logic we should ban everything fun and convert to a Sharia law system.

Try again edgelords

Have your promiscuous fun,just don't take tax money to do it

Simple as it gets

Promiscuousity is irrelevant to the discussion, people are free to do what they want and they don't need carnival for that.

The tax money that is spent keeps the industry afloat providing thousands upon thousands of jobs. That money doesn't leave the economy, it cycles around earning VAT and other taxes for the government. Not to mention the 30k returning trinis who are spending an average of 10k, Carnival is probably very profitable and is a big boost to our creative industry.

You purport that people that don't support carnival are edge lords.I am purporting that the opposite must also be true.
If carnival is so profitable, why does it consistently need an injection from tax money?

If it so profitable why private sector never jump in and say government don't worry we have it covered for year..for one year...NEVER. they rather piggyback off the government and enjoy the profits.

Scaffolding is charged based on usage, so if it remains up and unused, food still eating.

Calling ppl wallet watchers meanwhile using those same wallet watchers tax money to hold a crapnival. Sound logic.

Dai industry standard, not PNM standard. Dismantle, transport, transport, reassemble is the better play fadda. The man who ran the show under PP and made a tent rental company into a road paving/North stand assembling, stage managing company, is the same man under the PNM, he knows how to play it

Hover is correct I've always said the State should exit Carnival financially and just be a facilitator. That's completely different from your take, there is no dependency syndrome for those least available to afford it because almost ALL government subventions for carnival go to stakeholders who can very well afford it. They suck the Treasury for sponsorship and take all the profits. The model is broken not the event, allyuh so sour that it all over the shop

tent rentals is the new road paving

Soldier, you jump een without apparent respect for, or of context for the discussion.
ANYONE who puts themselves into debt, either with their money, life, or reputation for a two days on a jockey shorts and panty is free to do so. Likewise, I'm free to point out the utter senselessness of such an act.
Also kindly point out where tf is the stereotype of which you're talking about please?
