These people in for a surprise if they think PNC Guyana is any better than Venezuela. 

Druggie how come they didn't return under the "great" days of Jagdeo?  In fact many of them probably fled there during that era.  According to you life under Jagdeo was so great that even thousands of Bahamians and Caymanians flocked to Guyana to get the high salaries being paid.

In fact even Canadians and Germans flocked to Guyana for a better life!

During Jagdeo time oil price was in the 150 range per barrel. Venezuela and Trinidad were hot economies.  Never head of Bahamians or Caymanians flocking to Guyana for jobs, someone must have spiked your govt subsidized ensure. 

What we saw under Jagdeo was an influx of entrepreneurs who came to take advantage of a thriving middle class with disposable income to spend. Even during Ramoutar time we saw an influx of Indian and Chinese restaurants.  There was even a French restaurant that opened in GT, I am sure most have closed their door under PNC hardtimes in the past two years.
