Rupert Robert's is advising thar competition is a problem. Lol. There may be some merit in sinecif what he's saying, however, the prices are grossly exaggerated. If more competitors is a threat then a price control policy thar extends beyond bread basket items have to be implemented. There was the excuse of supply chain issues and exorbitant shipping costs. Supply chain issues no longer exist and shipping costs for awhile has dropped significantly. If Mr. Roberts says otherwise there are tons of international sources where anyone can verify thus information. Just recently ivr noticed around a 20% increase on some on the items in his store. Last time I checked, inflation should be around 3 to 4%. If you want to get excited 5%, not 20%. If you bring in a large competitor, like a Walmart, you definitely would see a significant reduction in price.

I see insurance companies mentioned here as well. It's interesting that the government speaks on food and commented on addressing bank fees but they are mute on tackling the "near mafiosa" posture of the insurance companies. Claims can be rejected on a whim or claimants get pennies on the dollar. Premium Increases are done in such a way only God and the insurance companies can verify what's true with regards to the reason. Just so ahady.

A good assessment of the leadership for last 60nyears or so. Just one correction, Sir Roland was not Prime Minister. He was Premier.

Mr. Davis is a gross disappointment. The never ending spending, the deals without transparency, the out of control band of misfits he's put into key positions is just unbelievable. His tenure has been a farce to say the least. He clearly doesn't want to do anything. This appears to be just an item to check on his list of accomplishments. He has ni interest in nation building.

bpl? bpl? Ain't he involved in a ton of deals.i solving BPL that the government has been honest with the people.abput? Yes, he built his empire on his own. But, he has taken advantage of the poor and underprivileged as well.

Smh. This is ridiculous. Amd how does that bring about compliance? We have criminals out on bail who should be locked up. We have rampant government corruption but this is the focus? These people ain't serious.

Why is commenting enabled for this story? Always seems random when comments are enabled. It could have been worse for this lady and her family and also for the gas workers. Still quite sad all around. That's rough to go through and rough still to deal with permanently. Hopefully things improve a lot for her and all involved.

Birdie drank the PLP Kool-aid. No logic or reason left.

So, we get a report dictated directly or indirectly by the outgoing Commissioner that the DPP is supposed to act on. These people can't be serious. And the DPP won't do anything with the crumbs they got.as they can't offend the current administration. Games! Games! Games!

👀 Really? Do we believe the US federal agents don't know their jobs? Come on birdie! Come on! Further Indictments are coming. Some of your people you so loyally support may be looking at jail time.

People intervening could help. Instead of recording the video that person should have called the police. Shouldn't the police be patrolling that area? Also, Quackoo Street police station isn't far from there. So, the answer is simple, the police should have handled this to minimize the injuries to that lady.

Why is this a story? People complain that they manage their money monthly. So, biweekly is a problem. Lol. Just don't go to the bank every pay day. Just go once a month
And why is the PM touting this as some grand change? He also stated salaries are too low. Is he high? The Public Service is a major burden for the country. Now this genius wants to increase that burden. What should happen is the size of the Public Service should be reduced drastically. After reducing it to a level that makes sense then you can increase pay. We can't have a bunch of idiots running this country. 1 + 1 doesn't equal 10, Mr. Prime Minister.
