Bai PPP start de race baiting. Meh see Carl Greenidge a wip up he base also ova de Guysiko subvention. Dem bais start de race campaign.

Something is seriously WRONG when Cane Cutters have to pay 60 dollars per KW and Lindeners are paying $5.!!!!!!!

Shyt your silly behind. Divide  u 6billion dollars between the 25 thousand cane cutters and associated sugar workers and see how much freebies they are getting. And that is the tip of the ice berg since the industry has been a symphony for cash for 2 decades with no break even point on the horizon due to theft, squandermania and incompetence by the PPP

Are you that stupid and illiterate???  I have to think it is just a temporary brain freeze.

Sorry, those labels are richly deserving to be yours exclusively! Thinking and rum do not go together.

It fits you to the glove since you are the one making ILLITERATE and STUPID statements!!!

Well why don't the PPP start to bring balance in a phased manner?

Can you help them on how to do so. You input will be apprreciated.

Conscience you are back on shift. OK YUJI you can clock out now from OP.

Tell Kwambe bye bye and give him your daily goodbye kiss.

Let the cane cutters pay $5 per kwh and call it even.

 To the contrary. I was making a comparison to help you equate the relevance or not of various subsidies. Unfortunately, you are made of the same racist crap as those in the PPP who constantly sell the idea Lindeners are freeloaders for receiving 3 billion in subsidies when another group gets more. Why they  get these monies or rather who gets the most benefit  is not even in the deliberation since incompetence and thief and cronyism of t he PPP would then muddy the waters.  I was trying to keep it simple for a dunce.

You are indeed a sample. Continue to shame yourself. In the first place your socalled comparison is not only laughable but simply your usual way of mixing apples with orange. It is not totally your fault, it is just the way your brain works.

Indeed the comparison would be laughable since those lazy n.egroes did not "earn" their subsidies and the hard working coolies did!!!! do you have another argument?

The PPP gov't has been too kind to Lindeners. It's time to get tough. The other parties are interested in grabbing power.

Why not a $10 increase in LINDEN in 2014?

soon!

Why is it a "Sin" for the other party to want power? Does the PPP possessing it means therin is the only place it could be considered a virtue? Dont disguise your bigotry. Prejudices does a body bad.

Lindeners are getting the electricity at th e price it costs to produce. WHy should cheaper electricity sold by BOSAI be pro rated and resold by that fat sweaty Penguin Brazzington through GPL? GPL is 40 percent inefficient by their own accounting.  It means the fair cost of GPL electricity is 40 percent less than they charge.

They all steal electricity. 

Thank heavens cane cutters don't have electric cutlasses.

   HE HE HA HA

Now that would make sense, also given that Linden had (probably no longer has) a high concentration of skilled workers, given the high skills needed in the bauxite industry.

That would have been an offset to the massive lay offs resulting from the sale of Guymine.

But black people live there so the PPP will never do that.

They rather peddle the "lazy and greedy black man" myth to scare their base to stay with them.

How?  they sold Guymine and threw Lindeners on the bread line, something which they refuse to do for sugar workers.

Please out line measures taken by the PPP to encourage the creation of decent paying jobs that were lost when they savaged Lindeners to the Chinese wolves.   After all isn't there the complaint the manufacturing in Guyana suffers because of high energy costs?  Well we have a zone which ha slower energy costs, and has (or had) a pool of skilled labor, and is a zone which is owed help due to the role of the PPP in furthering impoverishing it by selling Guymine to the Chinese, who promptly laid off 80% of the workers.

Cane cutters have jobs compliments of taxpayers, including those who live in Linden.

Whats your point?  If sugar workers need to be protected from a failing Guysuco why do you grudge Lindeners who were abandoned by the PPP when they sold Guymine to the Chinese?

If you justify the sale of Guymine then you must clearly agree to the sale of Guysuco, or confirm your status as a racist who hates blacks.

It will only be even when all of those bauxite workers who lost their jobs after BOSAI and RUSAL fired them get their jobs back.  This is why all of you jump up and down when any mention is made of selling Guysuco.  You know full well that any private owners will do to them exactly what the Chinese and the Russians did to bauxite workers.

While the consumption rate by residents has reduced from an average of 300 kilowatt per household per month, James said a further reduction to 150 kilowatts can result in the subsidy being slashed by almost 50 per cent.

 

 

The above estimate of electricity use as lavish is absurd. First, the average laptop, plus fridge plus cooking would exceed that number. That 300 kWh is wrong. That others only use 150 kWh per month has to be false also. I use 2000 kWh per month and there are only two of us in this house and we eat out often and is away at least one week a month.

The man lives in Guyana and he should know. We in NA should not be pretending that we know what's best for Guyanese in Guyana.

electronic equipment burns the same amount of electricity here or there. One can find that out easily on the power supply and do the multiplication for per hour cost and average use.

I agree. In my household, we have 2 kids. We run 2 tvs for long hours, xbox 360, all our appliances, cell phones are on charge all the time, curling iron, hair dryer, hair straightener, 3 laptops etc. We donot burn 2000Kw a month. Unless you have electric heat and stove, I cannot see how you burn 2000 KW a month.

My mother's electric bills in Guyana never exceeded $4000.00 a month. She had a TV, fridge and dvd player. Her light bulbs were all energy efficient. I guess if you pay a discounted rate, then you have no incentive to conserve.

we have 2400 sq feet and everything is electric. I run 2 TVs computers fridge, freezer, water cooler, stove, coffee maker Microwave, computers,  AV system, heat pump etc

I really wonder if GPL knows what the average Guyanese really use in its service areas.  What with widespread black outs, theft and use of private generators.  Linden quite probably doesnt have these issues.
