Section 8 benefits tends to afford their recipients loads of time to speculate on subjects they know nothing about.
Not that someone on Section 8 is any less a person but you seem to be a connoisseur on this Section 8, been with it a long time?
My brother in law rents out to section 8 recipients. He is assured a check from govt, who are the payees.
Druggie you'd be much more a man if you were to tell caribny that he is a welfare recipient and that he does not work and thus has time to write on GNI (presumably like you do and that you yourself is a welfare recipient) .You can also add that you think caribny is like all black people - that is they all receive welfare and have nothing to do than formulate and write opinions (like you do of course)

Good observation, until that boy list his occupation, we will continue to assume the worse. Same with d2. Both gentlemen have way too much time on their hands and lack supporting material to backup up their rantings.

Druggie, I cannot believe your that daft to miss the obvious rebuke to your racist view of caribny or Blacks. Or is sarcasm something that escapes your understanding?
Drugb posted:caribny posted:And baseman please don't embarrass yourself that an island like St Kitts, which was connected to sugar longer than was Guyana, and with an economy that was summarized in one word "sugar" until the 80s, can find something else to do.
Guyana can transition away from sugar and will have to!
You are such a liar, Saint Kitts is not a bed of roses, they are lucky to have beaches to attract tourists along and banks looking to launder money.
Saint Kitts and Nevis Economy Profile 2014
Economy - overview The economy of Saint Kitts and Nevis depends on tourism; since the 1970s tourism has replaced sugar as the traditional mainstay of the economy. Following the 2005 harvest, the government closed the sugar industry, after several decades of losses. To compensate for lost jobs, the government has embarked on a program to diversify the agricultural sector and to stimulate other sectors of the economy, such as export-oriented manufacturing and offshore banking. Roughly 200,000 tourists visited the islands in 2009, but reduced tourism arrivals and foreign investment led to an economic contraction in 2009-2012, and the economy returned to growth only in 2013. Like other tourist destinations in the Caribbean, St. Kitts and Nevis is vulnerable to damage from natural disasters and shifts in tourism demand. The government has made notable progress on reducing its public debt—from 154% of GDP in 2011 to 83% in 2013—although it still faces one of the highest levels in the world, largely attributable to public enterprise losses.
What are you showing. Economic collapse? No your article shows that life got better when they shut down sugar, as they no longer had this drain running up public debt. That ought to sound familiar to you.
St Kitts Nevis, population of 50k, land area 105 sq miles, no resources. HIGHER per capita income than Guyana. Smallest independent nation in the Americas.
Do you really think that Guyana has fewer options than St Kitts Nevis? Druggie, daily you show how stupid you are.
Now Guyanese flee to all, even to impoverished St Vincent, which barely has been able to keep its bananas.
This when islanders (except Trinis) used to flee to BG, and the money that they made sustained their families on their impoverished islands.
Why? Because we retain a 1932 style economy that keeps Guyanese mired in low wages and poverty!
Why not look at Trinidad's non oil economy, as they seek to diversify from total dependence on that product?
Why is their non oil manufacturing sector much more developed than ours? Why are our supermarkets filled with T&T food and household products, while all one will find on that island, from Guyana, is rice in plastic bags?
Thank God for Limacol, because that is the only manufactured product from Guyana that other Caribbean people know. And neither the PPP nor the PNC can claim credit for that either, this being a legacy of BG (Bookers Guiana)!

Once again, like Barbados and the rest of Afro dominated Caribbean, tourism saved the day to some extent. But again, what is your PNC masters doing to move Guyana forward? Zip Nada.

The PPP has been running Guyana for 23 out of the past 25 years. If the PPP was doing a good job, Guyana would be booming.
Instead Guyanese are the largest source of illegal immigration all over the Eastern Caribbean. And this includes human trafficked males and females.
So why your babble about the PNC? It takes more than one year to undo 23, even if the PNC was more capable than they are.
BTW those islands have no options, other than tourism. Trinidad doesn't bother with tourism, as they have more options.
Guyana continues with its 1932 economy, and then we wonder why we are so poor and backward.
You know if Brazil was like Guyana, their economy would be merely coffee, gold, and sugar. Instead they are the 3rd largest aeronautics nation, with a very vibrant industrial sector, as a fly over Sao Paulo would indicate.

Guyana was booming at the time PNC took over. Now the country is in the dumps, run down after 1 year of incompetent leadership. The private sector have suspended spending as PNC operatives target them for robberies and shakedown.

So why did Guysuco present itself on the first day that the coalition gov't took over, and wail that they had run out of cash, and that it 2 weeks they would have to lay off the ENTIRE Guysuco workforce, apart from the security guards?
Guysuco is the largest state owned company, and of vital support to the PPP, given that this represents its core base. Yet look at what was happening at Guysuco!
Does this look like good economic management to you? THIS is what the PPP controlled.
The fact that gold prices were high, and that this allowed multiplier impacts into the retail and construction sectors had NOTHING to do with PPP economic management!
Caribj,
You omitted 28 years of PNC rule in your argument about Guyana's economy. You also remain mum about the huge savings on oil imports and the recent spike in gold price which should translate into greater earnings and savings for Guyana. Where is all this money going?? The economy supposed to be doing better, not worse.

That must be it banna, blame PNC all day long, the PNC fked up the country the last 23 years while the PPP were in office. You are in the running along with Cobra and yugi, as the bright less loaf on this site.

Interesting that when I mention Jagdeo, the brown bai KKK scream that I am living in the past.
Yet we must dwell on what ended 25 years ago!

Funny how you keep deflecting the question about the plans of the PNC by continued emphasis on the PPP even after a year at the helm.
I am not here to defend the PPP, nor will I be suckered into that trap. The fact is that they left the PNC a robust economy and a short year later the PNC have yet to publish a plan forward. And you seem content to let them off the hook with your PPP excuses.

I
Funny you scream that I mustn't talk of the PPP, yet you do, by peddling the lie that they left a robust economy.
Yet you don't want to discuss the fact that May last year Guysuco ran to the new gov't, telling them that they were about to collapse, unless they got an infusion.
Now how sound could the PPP have been if the largest entity under their control was on the brink of collapse, and only quick actions by the coalition gov't prevented that?
What actions did the PPP engage in that brought forth a robust economy, which benefitted Guyanese, aside from Jagdeo's oligarch friends?
