Which minimum wage worker in the US ever spends a night in a 5 star hotel? ahahhahaa

The per capita GDP of Guyana is approx USD 2,000 P/A, so what do you expect the minimum wage to be?

Finally the people can aford to buy a fried rice when they put in a day wok...but they still have to teef to buy a soda to wash it down...

Which minimum wage worker in the US ever spends a night in a 5 star hotel? ahahhahaa

Five star, you ranked it?   Marriott are in the pedestrian ranks as hotels go and even if this is to be rated five stars it just goes to show how the people are treated as irrelevant.  But in any event, a minimum wage worker can if he wants spend a nite in good hotel without spending a year's salary.

Which minimum wage worker in the US ever spends a night in a 5 star hotel? ahahhahaa

Bhai. My advise, it is NOT necessary to respond to ALL his GARBAGE. FOOLS will always shoot themselves in the Foot.

The brand itself does not determine the rank. You should know this, even bmw and mercedes makes cars for all demographics. Even at your advanced age I still have to educate you, but my efforts have not been in vain as you continue to improve over the years. 

Here is a listing of Marriott's 5 star hotels:

http://www.fivestaralliance.co...s/133/marriott-hotel

OW Bhai, He head nah too good. Have sympathy for the lonely man. He in a corner in his Apartment and he forgot to put the light on.

 I did not say the brand determines its rank. I said it is designed presently a  upscale mass use management project and specifically geared  for  exclusive marquee  patronage. They are designed like wholefoods, upscale, reasonably pricy and standardized. Marriott prize their management style on absolute sameness in all things and even have "boot camps" for their employees.

In any event, the object here was to illustrate the abject impoverished state of our folks at the bottom. The weekly salary of a minimum wage worker in Gy cannot buy a decent pot ( as illustrated on page 20 of Kaiteurnews,  news)

 I do not live in an apartment or a tiny gingerbread house as you. I can conclude you only speak from personal experiences.

Bai, I know many decent earning folks here in the USA and they go home for food cuz buying take home is expensive.

I would say MOST and I am NOT talking only about Guyanese. But some FOOLS on this Board enjoy posting CRAP and thinking they are intelligent.

sweet sweet crap all the way to the mountain top

I TALKIN BOUT sTORMY LIVING ON mC Donald's dOLLAR mENU AND aBEE GOING HOME AND COOK dHAL AND rICE.

I have some guys where I work making $100k+ and bring their lunch from home to save the $4.50 lunch.  I don't know which world these clowns come from expecting Guyana minimum wage to afford mid-class life style.  These people are plain jokers.

In Guyana anyone can walk into GPH and get treated, maybe not the best, but something and walk away.  Try that in the US, you have a big bill following you.

yes the minimum wage in Bdos is $600 and you think that $175 is great.

No wonder Guyanese are still flocking there as the recent fiasco with Guyanese sex slaves on that island reveals.

The initiative the rise the minimum wage is welcome in all facet of the society, compared to the develop world, it may not seem to be a lot, but take the local per capita in consideration, its almost on par.

Druggie I know people who stayed at Marriott St Kitts.  Its a 3 star hotel.  Marriott can award what ever stars it wishes.  That makes me skeptical about the 5 stars as that is hard to get.  Dont see any Marriott among the list of the best hotels in any category.

And better believe it.  Marriott Guyana will  NOT be one of their best facilities.  It will be like Marriott Albany.

So you should report your findings to the 5 star allegiance based on your second hand "evidence",  so they can take St Kitts off the list. I am sure they will believe you over their own stringent rating system as you are the owner of your own all powerful survey. ahahahah

Druggie a major chain like Marriott can do what it likes and intimidate those who do not bend to their will.

When a list of the world's best hotels are named Marriott is NEVER on that list.  And even within Marriott there are different brands.  The mainline marriott brand is not known to be 5 star.

Like I said Marriott Gtwn will be like Marriott Albany, a decent hotel with decent food and nothing more.  In other words THREE STAR!

Even Marriott categorizes its main barnd as middle of the road.  Not as good as its JW and Renaissance brands, which would qualify as 5 star.

So please tell Marriott to classify list Marriott brand with its JW and Renaissance brands.

So we should believe you over the 5 star allegiance. ahahaha

No, you clown, what is the per capita GDP of Barbados?  Let me help you, Barbados = USD 25k, Guyana = USD 8k.

So baseman why does an island of 166 square miles and 300k people, not especially talented, produce a GDP of US$ 4.5 Billion vs Guyana, packed with gold a mere US$2.5B?

When you find the answer you will then learn why in 2013, after 5 years of recession in Barbados, Guyanese are still being lured to that island with a promise of better work than what is available to them in Guyana.

We have explained this to you many times before, the Whites and other foreigners invest in Barbados in the tourist industry due to blue water and white sand beaches. But now they have competition from the other islands and business looking down. hahahah

Caribny...needs to take a course in basic economics, one can't expect better from him, Guyana inherited a debt from the present administration that the country is still serving

You are correct on this. It's because of plain simple theft.

Well, certainly a nice deflection from your idiotic post.  You see my man, Bbados and Guyana have two very different political history and very different economies.  Barbados primarily has tourist economy directly hinged to the USA and other Western economies.  The tourists infrastructure was built up and in place before independence.  Apart from their short lived trisk with Socialism under Tom Adams, Barbados continued with a tourist-friendly development.  Western interest owns and controls most of these assets and ensure profitability by channeling tourists into the island.

When Tom Adams experimented, the economy turned up-side-down overnight.  Another important difference, Bdos does not have an ethnic chasm like Guyana, it's mostly Afros who understand a safe and clean country is paramount to their economic survival, so they don't mess with it.

Guyana, as you are aware, has a product-oriented economy, it produces tangible goods and export.  This is Guyana.  Guyana's production assets were nationalized, raped and plundered into uselessness by the PNC.  This is a fact you cannot dispute, it was all destroyed over a 20-year period.

When the PPP took over in 1992, they took a skeleton of a nation with little functioning, absolutely debilitated,  I mean everything, even schools were gutted.  Compounding this was a massive debt taken and looted by the PNC. Being a producing economy, the GoG had to slowly rebuild from the bottom-up, attract investors and get the nation out from the stifling debt burden.

I and you, know Bdos never suffered this trauma and the effects of Tom Adam's trist were quickly reversed.

Now, do I need to go into the ethnic issues which have strangled the nation?  I will do so within the context of the graph below.  The graph plots Guyana and Surinam.  Take a look at the PNC performance to 1992.  You see a clear lift from 1992-1997, then a tapering off.  This begins the era of slo fiah mo fiah, once again a PNC undertaking.  You also see Surinam's economy rocketed from 2001/2001 and never looked back.

Guyana's was deferred until 2005/2006 by the onslaught of your PNC Buxton/Agricola FF terrorists.  2005/2006 the "phantomization" initiative was successfully undertaken and the economy rocketed on the same trajectory of Surinam.  Taking all that into consideration, one can only induct that, even ignoring the destruction wreaked by the PNC which continued until 2005/2006, Guyana would have been comfortably with the realm of $4-5 Bil GDP.
