Even a broke Barbados is still better off than Guyana.   And no Bajan is flying to Guyana.  I doubt even the Guyanese living there are.

When last I checked Barbados is as fully run by them as the USA is by Americans.  The fact that Budweiser is a Belgian/Brazilian beer and overseas entities own many other companies operating in the USA or massive amounts of our financial instruments doesn't mean that foreigners run the USA.

A white Barbadian is as much a Barbadian as an Indian Guyanese is a Guyanese.

The backbone of Barbados economy is the hard working Guyanese,wait till OIL start to flow, the Guyanese will return in hundreds, just look what's happening to Venezuela.

1.  Few jobs will be generated by oil in Guyana.  I know that Granger thinks otherwise but Exxon has already told him this.

2. Who told you that low paid jobs are the backbone of the Barbadian economy.  Their current difficulties arose because the BPO (Business Processing Outsourcing) sector dried up because Canadian financial services reduced their sourcing in Barbados, mainly due to regulatory changes.   Their tourism is at record levels but doesn't generate enough to offset revenues lost by a smaller BPO sector.  Guyanese were NOT in that sector as these are some of the best paid jobs and so much prized by Bajans.  Barbadians remain among the best educated Caribbean people with tertiary level attainment considerably higher than that of Guyanese, or even Trinidadians.

3.  Guyanese labor was recruited for the low paid jobs, many in agriculture. In fact not that long ago a Bajan minister was whining to get more Guyanese in as Bajans have no interest in cutting cane.  Barbados continues to have some of the highest wages in CARICOM and even now their unemployment rate is lower than that of Guyana.

I don't think that Bajans want to sell fish outside of Bourda market.  They can stay in Barbados and sell it at Oistins.

Even Haitians don't want to say in Guyana. As soon as they get off the plane they are rushing over to Suriname.  This so they can live there and sneak into French Guiana to work, as that is a mere canoe ride away.

Nice try. 

Barbadoes got hit by two forces. 1. 9/11. Americans are staying home more.  2. Barbadoes has an image problem. It is now seen as a place where very rich whites vacation.  Therefore middle class and lower class whites are staying away.

Plus the negative publicity against Barbados, regarding the Jamaican woman who was physically searched and detained at the airport. Who won her case at the CCJ, caused many senior groups in Canada to find new winter destinations.

I believe the Jamaican case was won, not because of the search and detention, but as a CARICOM member, she was refused entry to Barbados.

I would normally transit thru Barbados and take the milk run to BVI, but now transit thru Antigua, Puerto Rico, or St. Thomas, with the ferry to Tortola.

Bai Carib, you look like you shit on your own country. Shithole Guyana?

This thread is a poignant example of the pursuit of the petty and the need among some to constantly derail a story with the necessary race trajectory in all things. Barbadoes is broke but its standard of living is five times ours if mean income is a fair measure. The reasons it is broke are many but the reasons it will lift itself out are equally abundant.
