OP I agree fully. A lot of business places that see most of their money coming in during the late night / early morning periods are suffering.

Well pappy OLD AGE AH ROADRAGE instead of complaining give a solution.

Anand talking about going to parliament, to extend it for another 6 months, if they see fit. I wonder if these people are actually thinking this thing through...you know what kind of economic repercussion that would have?

[Stephon.]

This will not go on for 6 months obviously, the people in the country that actually run it, wont allow this to happen.
Then again you never know what could happen, they could extend it and the same people I'm talking about would agree to the extended 6 months.

Personally if this goes on for a year I won't care, economically no!

[mitsuboi]

I think, I think, and correct me if I'm wrong but with d police and army having more power they should be busting in gang members homes and "places of dwellings".

And after seizing GUNS and drugs and putting the criminals behind bars then we as trinis can fully understand the success of the SOE.

[Bizzare]

No one explain to me yet whats the purpose of this?!? All I keep hearing is that there's been 1 robbery during curfew hours and that "successful". Umm ok. How is this success gonna extend even after the SOE??

[mitsuboi]

^^No dan d AG stated that y'day 6guns seized, ovr 800 ammo and 22 arrested.

[Bizzare]

Or ok. News to me.

[mitsuboi]

Yea dan an das jus 1day...lewe see how much at d end

I think ppl missin d point where d police and army have a lot more power now ...they could bust through anyone home without any documents and execute searches. Our democratic and constitutional rights have been put on hold.

But in keeping wit d topic how alyuh go feel wen u go Aura,etc an wen u leavin a man com to rob u and shoot ur padna (I doh wa him shoot u cuz u go be dead and go cya think)..so wen he shoot ur padna u holding ur head an bawlin why every jack Jason an beharry have a gun and y so much of dem walkin free.....but now we have an opportunity to get rid of dem an alyuh studyin economics.....but guess what, Jenny paper tall..Soong paper tall, Bunny paper tall....but alyuh studyin how dem go loss out.SMH

[Stephon.]

They're the same ones I'm talking about in my previous post. But Trinidad WILL lose revenue and those that you mentioned would not be the ones paying back the majority of money lost.

[mitsuboi]

Those losses u referring to would be negligible...but how will trinidad lose revenue exactly IYO????

All i reading here is you not getting a chance to continue your partying....tell me how you have to stay indoors when the time for it is 9pm to 5am......so you can't make a dollar during 5am to 9pm?

[sweaty]

This is a small sacrifice the citizens of the country have to make to have better living conditions. If your talking economic wise,night life is one thing but what about larger companies and businesses that have to worry about security and safety. If crime continues on par or even escalates,it can cause a serious braindrain and trinidad can't afford for large business owners to lock up shop and fly out,the economy will go into a bad state,citizens will begin to fear to go out. With regards to the 6 month period,i doubt they'd implement it for so long tho but hopefully they make some good progress in these next few days

How about you accept the fact that for the next 15 days they are going to try to make some headway in moving our country forward. Give up liming and don't try to be a hero; PEOPLE CAN EAT GYROS DURING THE DAY TOO.

Also, go back to primary school and learn how to punctuate a little better.

The ball is already rolling, all we can do is wait. Please stop complaining like little children.

you feeling good about yourself now? want an award? drastic times call for drastic measures

[hustla_ambition101]

So they arresting the dotish petty dealers and thieves, what about the big dogs that importing the stuff

I face facts long time...trinis have a one week mentality.
When alcohol and cigs go up around budget time, they start to complain, but yet that same night, they in the rum shop drinking and smoking while bad talking the increase.

Give it a week, and it gets accepted as a norm in society. We doh stand up for nothing here.

[S_2NR]

We doh stand up for nothing here.

and that is the problem.

[Hook]

y'all missing the point completely...the OP obviously has a problem expressing himself clearly (and proper use of examples), but the message is there...basically

yes, nothing stopping people from eating gyros/burgers/doubles during the day, but what about the people who DEPEND on the night-time influx of club-goers, crosscrossing-limers, avenue-drinkers to ply their trade?
You ARE aware that at some locations, there's a day vendor and then a different one comes out at night, right? De two ah dem cyar bonx up!

With significantly less people travelling at night now, there's less demand for fuel (hell my tank eh cross the first quarter since Saturday...all now I does normally be on half tank)...at least, a slower turnover...do you know what that means for service station owners?

what about delivery drivers who work at night? contractors with tight deadlines that need to work 24/7 before the late penalties kick in, wham to dem?

Nightclubs and bigger companies (Prestige, Ansa et al) can more than absorb the cost (who wanna bet after the 6th is every day clubs gonna have parties to make up d money?) but smaller business gonna REALLY feel the pinch. Just last night, a friend was in The Wave/Outer Limits and the owner said he'd only sold 14 drinks the night before...FOURTEEN FACKIN DRINKS!
Do you know how much their rent is? $50,000 a month!

we climbing out of a US$6B debt and this guh happen? yuh know if international flights pull out what that means for Piarco too? meainkno bout allyuh, but personally, I think we just put ourselves in a recession...a knee-jerk reaction to an upsurge in crime is NOT the way to go...and this isn't even the first time we've had this many murders in a few days

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope they find what they're looking for in the next 12 days, else it eh go have enough paper towels on de island to wipe off de egg.

independence celebrations cancelled? I thought they said only the fireworks segment was nixed.

[Michael Knight...]

Anand talking about going to parliament, to extend it for another 6 months, if they see fit. I wonder if these people are actually thinking this thing through...you know what kind of economic repercussion that would have?

We have already started losing investors because of this sheit. So let the People's Partnersh!t do some more great deeds. They have not thought anything through, so if they want to extend this to a six month period I hope they are prepared to wave bye bye to business owners because there is going to be serious capital flight taking place.
