The Minister of Finance does not realize that sales are not the same as profit?

...and eric williams grandchildren in dey glee on facebook. They don't know about expenses, overhead costs, etc.

i have a story for you two

a story my mama would tell me when i was a little boy

this is the story about a dwarf, his wife and their pet rat

***

once upon a time

there lived a dwarf and his wife in a cottage in the woods

now, this dwarf knew that *sales are not the same as profit*

the dwarf - and his wife - knew that very well

this dwarf and his wife were well educated you see

but the dwarf and his wife , also knew

that about one-third of all the animals in the woods did not know that that *sales are not the same as profit*

and so that is exactly the reason why the dwarf made a post on social media

and the pet rat ?

she and all her little rat friends made posts on social media as well !

for this - the dwarf rewarded his pet rat with cheese from his cheese control board

and they all lived happily ever after

except for the rest of the animals in the woods - who all began tearing at each others throats

the end



Trinidadians

and Tobagonians

need to read more stories

especially

stories about how fascists and totalitarians keep people brainwashed and divided

the dwarf and his wife certainly did !

Oh he realizes it very well, he's just playing up to the peanut gallery occupiers like Tunts7, Red Colos, Tokesy. There are times when he is genuinely dotish about economics, but according to elitecorolla, that is because he doh take advice from technocrats

If Tantie's makes over TT$500,000 a year in revenue (she is saying does $1.4M), she is supposed to be VAT registered.

Who has to register for VAT?
Individuals or businesses that sell goods or services worth TT$500,000.00 or more in a twelve-month period must register for VAT. Individuals and businesses must also register if they forecast sales of TT$500,000.00 or more in a twelve-month period.

Registered individuals or businesses that cease trading, dispose of or transfer their business must apply for Cancellation of VAT Registration. This also applies to individuals or businesses that no longer generate revenues above the threshold amount of TT$500,000.00.

Life under the Red Government . a government who is running on a vaps

US FINANCE news outlet Bloomberg has ranked Trinidad and Tobago fifth among nine developing nations hardest hit by a recent spike in reported cases of covid19.

The report measured data from Johns Hopkins University, US, as of May 2.

It attributed the increases among developing nations mainly to "contagious virus variants, though complacency and lack of resources to contain the spread have also been cited as reasons."

The list puts TT behind four Asian countries according to the percentage of new cases compared to the previous month.

TT saw a staggering 701 per cent change after 3,129 new cases were recorded from April to May.Suriname, the only other country in the region in Bloomberg's ranking, saw a similar rate of increase, at 612 per cent, after recording 3,129 new cases.

Laos tops Bloomberg's list with a 22,000 per cent increase after recording 884 new cases, following an abrupt outbreak in the landlocked Southeast Asia. Nepal (1,645 per cent, 58,390 new cases) Thailand (1,293 per cent, 50,037 new cases) and Bhutan (909 per cent, 222 new cases), ranked second to fourth.

India, whose health care system is facing a crisis, saw new cases rise by 7,254,326, or a 516 per cent increase, from the previous month.

they dont know the base there over a decade now... yeah. if not two decades.
long time we used to walk down to the flood gate in the godineau river to catch fish and crab, then the land got leased to some oil company, same time they started the base around there. and the access taska road got demolished.

the base quite large, and its bounding the m2 ring road. when u come from the bypass, then turn into la romain at paria suites, just after paria suites u make a right to enter onto the m2 ring road, and just after the first bend, its there on the right. not even 20 secs after paria suites.

but just as zoom says..... its serves not real world purpose. except as a southern military depot, and from there there they can redistribute the supplies to the south west.

[Redman]

But the M2 base is minutes away from La Romaine.... And it have land by the mile

Also they probably want more coverage on the road access to the coast line?

It's only three roads very near by that they could cover that way, All closer to gulf city than the south coast. And it have a multitude od routes to leave most any poinys along the south coast to move any direction.
They need to be stationed on the coast itself by the major roadways from the beach into the road network. Like 10 or even 20 campsites. When they get a call to a landing site, they can move and be there in 15 minutes.

To love out from LA Romain base u taking about an hour to resch anywhere. If they take less time, they will mash up more vehicles in thsoe attempts.

Hopefully they really meant it as the south hub, and not actually the station for them men.

The March warning
by Martin Daly



The working week began with a shock, as a result of which we must ask the Minister of Health for truthful answers.

The Prime Minister hosted a news conference on Monday last, in which he announced increased lockdowns. At that event, our trusted Chief Medical Officer, Dr Roshan Parasram, disclosed that he had drawn attention to “the worrying trend of climbing Covid-19-positive numbers since early March”. He did so after more ministerial lectures about our personal responsibility not to contribute to the further spread of the Covid-19 virus by “gathering”.

In passing, I wondered again about gatherings put on by those within the Government’s close political circles, which might contribute to spread. My curiosity grew when Dr Parasram also disclosed that “the contact tracers say that a lot of contacts are coming from private gatherings”. I had raised a red flag last Sunday about condonation of “society” events held contrary to ministerial and other exhortations.

The Monday news conference began with Dr Avery Hinds, our equally trusted Chief Epidemiologist, presenting graphs to show that we are currently experiencing the highest number of Covid infections since August/September 2020 (election time). Dr Maryam Abdool-Richards, Principal Medical Officer—Institutions, followed to warn us that the capacity of the parallel healthcare system could reach collapse in days.

These presentations were the prelude for the PM’s stern alarm about our now perilous situation regarding virus spread. Many of us were not shocked at how perilous the situation had become because we were aware of the “gathering” big time, as well as some of the madness that Easter would bring. The Government stood aside when it knew or ought to have known what an unrestricted Easter would bring.

Over 50,000 persons travelled between Trinidad and Tobago in the week leading up to the long Easter holiday weekend, according to Minister Rohan Sinanan, who was proud of the smooth operation of the air and sea bridges. He congratulated the persons responsible for “a fantastic job” in moving that number of people smoothly “even though we are in a pandemic”.

Reference to this is not intended to fault lovely Tobago or Tobagonians. It simply further demonstrates officials blowing hot and cold about “gathering”, yet blaming those who were infected by the “free-up-for-Easter” atmosphere. The shock was not from the foreseeable Easter fallout. It was Dr Parasram’s disclosure, expressed in the words of the next three paragraphs, that shocked me. Added to that, on Friday last, the PM acknowledged “the laxness starting in mid-March”.

“If you recall, I had said in the early part of March that we noticed a considerable increase. People at the time thought that it was too small. I thought that it was enough to cause a significant increase in terms of a snowball-type effect.

“If it started in early March, just because we were going into a season—as you know, Easter was coming up—there was a period where we expected an increased number of people coming together.

“When you take this kind of increase it goes on top the next, so you double, then you go into a quadruple very fast. If you think about a snowball, the effect is exactly like a snowball. You start small and, very quickly, you go to two, to four, to six, to eight and then to 16, and that is what we are seeing in the graphs that Dr Hinds would have presented”.

Who were “the people who thought the increase was too small”? Minister of Health, was that you? Were there political considerations requiring stimulation of the Tobago domestic tourism economy in light of the six-six Tobago electoral tie?

Those who cast aside Dr Parasram’s early March observation would be boldfaced to reprimand ordinary citizens without shouldering their own responsibility for what appears to be a horrible but foreseeable Easter outcome, given Dr Parasram’s warning and other pointers about rapid spread likely to come out of the Easter weekend.

Is it now clear that the increased lockdowns, not imposed earlier following the March warning, are fatally late; and the persistent, but now abandoned, attempted denials of the South American variant slipping through porous borders were deceiving?

it's still a good day, dey kill another useless Laventille resident, one less PNM is a good a day as it gets in these timing.
Unfortunately the day before there was a shootout between these good boys and d police and none were eliminated. as usual the criminal supporting community of laventille, beetham, sea lots, maloney and all these PNM strongholds would have seen nothing to assist the police in their termination.
Man i wish for the day the police just randomly opens fire in these areas when the hooligans fire at them let paul pay for all until these communities completely sanitised and tax paying citizens can roam free in them and reside, heck make it East Moorings.

Too little poetic justice


Raffique Shah

May 8, 2021

THERE are times when I feel ashamed of being Trinidadian. On such occasions, I feel almost like a traitor, having to admit that some of my countrymen are bringing shame and disgrace to our otherwise proud nation.

As the Covid-19 numbers exploded last week from single-digit in­creases to 300-plus daily confirmed cases, hospital beds were occupied at dizzying rates while deaths rose from modest to uncomfortable levels, I felt personally defeated.

What compounded my mix of emotions was the fact that it didn’t have to come to this. We were almost home dry, as some would say, when the walls of Jericho came crashing around us, thanks to the must-hug, must-kiss clowns among us.

To those who took us there, who by their gross irresponsibility in their daily lives, their reckless disregard for the lives of others, I ask, how can you live with your conscience, if you have one, knowing the suffering, the pain, the grief you have inflicted on other human beings?

Let’s be realistic here: you are no different to the gun-wielding bandits who rob hard-working citi­zens of their possessions. You are guilty of murder of one degree or other, by casually infecting others with the deadly virus, leaving them to die like dogs, agony writ deep on their faces, the cold hands of death denying them the commonest element of life: oxygen.

As the crisis turned south, as we sought to blame Venezuelans for our dance with death, stories emerged of grandchildren, intent on having a good time, often with money directly or indirectly bestowed on them by the very doting grandpas and grandmas whose lives they were about to terminate.

One young man, I was told, kept the rum shop his grandparents had funded open throughout the pandemic, which became the source of the virus that stung members of his household and others in the community who patronised the bar. Nani, nana, aunty, bhai, bhowgie—every man, woman and dog ending up sick, occupying expensive hospital beds.

I watched with anger seething in my system as journalists interviewed those who swarmed the beaches and other recreational facilities on Easter weekend, their senses seemingly in stupor, numbed by alcohol or sea breeze, or maybe both, as they ignored Covid regulations, morosely muttering, “We having a good time.”

When Government imposed the second “lockdown” and banned the sale of foods at posh restaurants and wayside vendors to prevent patrons from congregating around them, I could not believe what I saw: thousands of hungry Trinis congregating at every corner, intent on eating every morsel of crap food they could stuff into their mouths.

In other words, those fools were celebrating the prohibition of congregating with massive congregations!

Stupid me, I asked myself: don’t these people cook food in their homes? Clearly, they do not know how easily someone with basic culinary skills can whip up sada roti and tasty-if-not-nutritious “fried aloo” sandwiches that Indian schoolchildren of my gene­ration kept in our pants pockets as lunch daily, and I mean daily, because it was literally fast food before that label was applied to today’s expensive downgrades that are all people seem to eat.

In our day, for variety, we often exchanged lunch with our Afro friends for their hops-and-cheese sandwiches. Or sometimes, we enjoyed a delicious fried-­plantain-in-sada treat that we similarly shared. Obviously, today’s children know nothing of such grassroots foods.

But I digress: I have more fire to direct at the irresponsible clowns in our midst who, driven by their selfish desires, overcome by their weaknesses, put us all in danger from the deadly virus. These excu­ses for human beings cannot even endure confinement to their homes for the greater good of their country.

I feel compelled to ask: what would they do if ever they were called upon to take up arms to defend the nation against some foreign invader? I can only speculate that they would run and hide and cry long tears, cowards that they are.

And, please, you apologists for citizens by birth or boat who have neither the conviction nor the character to lay claim to patri­otism, don’t add insult to injury by telling me about man being a social animal who must fraternise, must be close to other human beings for their survival. Hogwash.

Better you tell me they must be inebriated, they must lose their inhibitions through consumption or inhalation of mind-altering substances before they can be men.

My only consolation as I see my country face some very turbulent times that we need not have done, had there been real men in our ranks, is that some of these open-the-borders, free-up-the rum-shops, leh-we-hug-and-wine-away-Covid types in this phase of the pandemic, some of them, but all too few, are coming face-to-cowardly-face with a phenomenon called poetic justice...retribution for their actions that dumped us in this mess.

Sadly, poetic injustices abound: too many innocent people are suffering for the sins of the cowards.

Earlier in the press conference, he said that the government spent close to $5 billion in relief grants on citizens for COVID-19, however, he said “We cannot do this again.”

"wel who tel dem tuh travel eeh ?"

but mother trinidad held down

It's just another way to raid the treasury. Then you would hear how much was spent but you'd never know how

much was actually spent. All the time they were saying all who wanted to come was already here and th st the

not spend it on repatriation flights and quarantine and bring them home?
