Prince posted:Any foreign franchise that hopes to do business in Guyana will not be the first or the last. PriceMart will provide jobs for the locals, pay tax to the government and add to the economy.
Opening up a business and investing are consider the same since both are hoping to gain a profit and contribute to the local economy.
Come on now Prince, you really expect us to swallow this pill, that retail big box store is an investor and not an exploiter? What is the total gain? Their profits will be at the expense of the closures of local businesses. They are not producing anything, just importing and dumping on the local market. Where are the investors who will invest in large scale farming, manufacturing etc, actually building something and not just selling imports or digging up natural resources and sending overseas with no value added?
