For two hundred years, the wages paid to Indian and African workers on the sugar estates have helped in no small manner to sustain and bring vibrancy to every other industry and enterprise in Guyana, including the ice seller, the flutie producer, the hairdresser, the farmer, the haberdasher, the mechanic, the fisherman.
Django, this trickle-down punishment to innocent hard working Guyanese.
Poorly planned or maybe that was the intended result from the start. Now I know Vish is going to say I am living in the past but why was this not addressed before instead of lying and subsidizing sugar? Now those people are without jobs and means to support their families. My suggestion would have been to allow them to farm the land. They don't necessarily have to be given ownership. Just allotted parcels of land.
