I don't know what incremental benefit the PPP will get out of Granger/PNC actions when it's likely, most of these affected workers voted PPP in any case. If you mean show the non-sugar workers the negative effects on the general economy, then you have a point. Thus far, I don't see that!
This is correct, but govt will close down the industry as they don't have the cash to keep plugging the deficit to produce sugar to the tune of billions. The overall effect of the decline of the sugar industry is already being felt by the general population, this is what the PPP need to capitalize on. In fact they can get a 2 for 1, let the PNC close down the industry so they don't have to be burned with guysuco. When/if PPP get back in power the would claim that PNC destroyed sugar and there is no way back. Let the PNC be the fall guys.
Nonsense, ring fence some duties on items imported with hard currency earned by Sugar. That alone will fund the sugar deficit. Then let the rest of the economy benefit from the added value of the imported materiel as it ripples through the general economy. That will create employment for everyone and further added tax revenues for the Govt!
Drugb, you used to think back in the day? What happen, your synapses getting rusty? You have really "dumb down" over time! Jeeezee!!
