But somebody wants to tell me that we have failed to progress and everything is bad in my land.

Happy Independence T&T, we are not prefect but we have done well.


All built with the sole purpose of enriching friends, families and financiers and providing kick backs to politicians. The pnm exists to enrich the 1%. They just use the blk ppl to ride into power to access the treasury. The 1% are the new slave owners.

Those 3 new hospitals were built by foreign contractors selected by the PP. How does this enrich PNM friends, families and financiers?


Sorry. I meant political class*. Didn't mean to single out the PNM. Even though it was that party that built the system as it is for a very specific purpose of diverting public funds. The US has military industrial context and we have tenderpreneurship.

Ever notice how something somewhere is always being built with no real specific purpose but a sod turning is always occuring somewhere? And yet the country still isn't developing even with all these "developments" etc.

The UNC just took corruption to a whole other level but they didn't build the system like that. They just took advantage. The system was designed to fail boy. The reason it eh completely collapse is because it have some seriously patriotic trinis working in the shadows to keep things afloat. Ppl who will never get enough praise.

All you are doing is being cynical and vague. I just pointed out 3 new hospitals which provide free healthcare financed by only half the working population paying TT$33.50 a month but you saying we are still developing and turning sod for useless stuff.

If you don't like it, you are free to leave you know


You just being obtuse but thanks for proving my point. No where else in the world healthcare could cost $33.50 but magically that is all trinis paying for it. Meanwhile, all the pharmaceutical imports and services/products to actually run the health system are billion dollar contracts to private entities controlled and connected to the 1%. So ya fooling the citizens that healthcare "free" and accessible whilst cutting a billion dollar check to private sector for things such as gloves and janitorial services.

Keep fooling the ppl. 6 billion a year on average is spent on health care in TT year after year yet it not improving. Wonder why?

Oh and btw those hospitals were not gifts from China. They are loana that will need to be repaid by future generations.

Again you are just being cynical and vague. Ease up on this Marxist 1% rhetoric. We live in a capitalist society, if people and companies run a successful business that is good. They provide jobs and sustain the economy. I don't know which private sector company makes a billion dollars from MoH, but like other things you are just being vague. If anything like other ministries, the private sector does not like to do business with govt because they pay late. Nevertheless, with TT or elsewhere, healthcare service providers and pharmaceutical companies are mostly large established entities. I don't know which mom and pop shops can manufacture MRI machines and service them.

And in other vagueness, healthcare is not improving? By what standard. Infant mortality has gone down, life expectancy is increasing, free medication for chronic diseases, since 2010 5 new hospitals and 2 more on the way.

You seem like the covid-19 conspiracy type.

Once more attempting to and failing to look like you are intellectual and knowing :lol:
There are such things as re-negotiating or even cancelling a loan( look it up). HUNDREDS of projects get postponed, delayed or outright cancelled during protracted downturns. Yes there will be fallout, but billion dollar projects that cannot be afforded, or worse yet, borrowing money to finance non-income generating items is not only asinine, but shows a glaring lack of planning or expertise. Yet the PNM seems to think that is the way to go. Maybe they know something that we don't, but when they are not forthcoming with a proper explanation, and yes I did inform myself by reading ImpBert's long winded, self-serving ,smug, arrogant and wholly inappropriate response in Parliament.
It has been widely posited that these oil and gas prices will remain depressed for some time, and what has taken from 2007 to now to accumulate, and which surely will take much longer to re-accumulate, will be frittered away like confetti. Once again, lack of a proper long-term financial plan from a man who is "playing" Minister but who seems intent on driving this country into the ground for the benefit of a very few because when creative solutions are needed, he can only resort to low hanging fruit and intellectually bankrupt ideas and "solutions"

Oh Tuntsy look something else from 2016!
Where was the pandemic that you and you equally imbecilic sidekick Colos blaming now for the economic mess that we're in and supposedly has turned around? BTW YOUR post suggested that you feel healthcare is funded on Health Surcharge, so dbu if you cannot express yourself properly.
You didn't, in fact you cannot explain one thing to anyone because JUHN Scarfy 'nads blocking your view.

:lol:

How can TT be a capitalist society if Gov't controls over 70% of all spending in the economy? Do you think those parties are in politics for the greater good or to get access to tens of billions of dollars? You really starting to sound stupid.

A capitalist society but subsidised housing, healthcare, education and even grocery? Try and make sense bro. This country exists to funnel billions of dollars of state money into private hands via "contracts". The kickbacks are then given to members of the political class. Is not rocket science.

That's one of the reasons why Laventille, Sea Lots and Beetham, despite being hotspots of crime, poverty and unemployment will almost always vote LFD RFD PNM. Like Tuntsy, they feel that said LFD RFD PNM really cares for them :lol: :lol:

All built with the sole purpose of enriching friends, families and financiers and providing kick backs to politicians. The pnm exists to enrich the 1%. They just use the blk ppl to ride into power to access the treasury. The 1% are the new slave owners.

Those 3 new hospitals were built by foreign contractors selected by the PP. How does this enrich PNM friends, families and financiers?


Sorry. I meant political class*. Didn't mean to single out the PNM. Even though it was that party that built the system as it is for a very specific purpose of diverting public funds. The US has military industrial context and we have tenderpreneurship.

Ever notice how something somewhere is always being built with no real specific purpose but a sod turning is always occuring somewhere? And yet the country still isn't developing even with all these "developments" etc.

The UNC just took corruption to a whole other level but they didn't build the system like that. They just took advantage. The system was designed to fail boy. The reason it eh completely collapse is because it have some seriously patriotic trinis working in the shadows to keep things afloat. Ppl who will never get enough praise.

All you are doing is being cynical and vague. I just pointed out 3 new hospitals which provide free healthcare financed by only half the working population paying TT$33.50 a month but you saying we are still developing and turning sod for useless stuff.

If you don't like it, you are free to leave you know


You just being obtuse but thanks for proving my point. No where else in the world healthcare could cost $33.50 but magically that is all trinis paying for it. Meanwhile, all the pharmaceutical imports and services/products to actually run the health system are billion dollar contracts to private entities controlled and connected to the 1%. So ya fooling the citizens that healthcare "free" and accessible whilst cutting a billion dollar check to private sector for things such as gloves and janitorial services.

Keep fooling the ppl. 6 billion a year on average is spent on health care in TT year after year yet it not improving. Wonder why?

Oh and btw those hospitals were not gifts from China. They are loana that will need to be repaid by future generations.

Again you are just being cynical and vague. Ease up on this Marxist 1% rhetoric. We live in a capitalist society, if people and companies run a successful business that is good. They provide jobs and sustain the economy. I don't know which private sector company makes a billion dollars from MoH, but like other things you are just being vague. If anything like other ministries, the private sector does not like to do business with govt because they pay late. Nevertheless, with TT or elsewhere, healthcare service providers and pharmaceutical companies are mostly large established entities. I don't know which mom and pop shops can manufacture MRI machines and service them.

And in other vagueness, healthcare is not improving? By what standard. Infant mortality has gone down, life expectancy is increasing, free medication for chronic diseases, since 2010 5 new hospitals and 2 more on the way.

You seem like the covid-19 conspiracy type.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Years ago I had to explain to you that the health surcharge was not enough to run the 5 existing hospitals and the 3 hospitals that were under construction. Now they are all complete and you still don't understand. Thank God we didn't cancel them like you were demanding, we would be like Jamaica right now. https://www.trinituner.com/v4/forums/vi ... 5#p9205365




How can TT be a capitalist society if Gov't controls over 70% of all spending in the economy? Do you think those parties are in politics for the greater good or to get access to tens of billions of dollars? You really starting to sound stupid.

A capitalist society but subsidised housing, healthcare, education and even grocery? Try and make sense bro. This country exists to funnel billions of dollars of state money into private hands via "contracts". The kickbacks are then given to members of the political class. Is not rocket science.
I'm glad that other people are seeing through the charade of the divide/distract and conquer politics.Hopefully one day ,this country will wake up and truly be independent
