For the ultra wealthy, there's potentially even more money to be made in times of stress.

There's a famous phrase people often say, "When there's blood in the street, buy property".

Yep
that's being smart, going against the crowd to give you opportunities to make huge profits
Buy low, sell high
Buy when everyone else is selling

Your recourse is either protest, form a watch dog group and create awareness to get them voted out.

The thing about politics is that NO party is it to help the country. They are in it to help themselves and those who are aligned with their and the interests of their financers.

What you end up voting for is the lesser of two of evils, and the party that benefits you.

If you see the development that has happened south of the Caroni bridge over the last 5 years you can never fault them for voting PP, same goes for people in the west for voting PNM.

What he said. Keep fighting Red and Yellow neither give one ass about either of you. Fill pockets, mamaguy "we ppl", divide and conquer. I honestly believe we'd be getting it without lube regardless of who won. One taking it from citizens, the other would have from the IMF then it'd austerity measures.
Trinis need to be for country and not party. When your party do sheit call them on it, pointing out that the others' sheit stunk doesn't make yours smell like potpourri.

The antics of the Minister Of Finance never fails to create disquiet and he just seems to love to provoke the population.
Really reminds me of some little fellas in primary school who like to start thing and play innocent when 'fight start'.

[vaiostation]

Highly unlikey gas would go up or by much. In last years mid year contribution Colm indicated that at US$45 a barrel the subsidized cost of gasoline was $3.61/litre

He further indicated that at US$45/barrel diesel's unsubsidized cost was $3.13/litre rising to $3.45 if oil goes for US$50.

Oil has been trading between 45 and 50 for a while now.
